Seriously… the competence and proficiency of this mayor’s comms… it gives me the vapors.

A tattoo parlor in Cincinnati apparently posted a defense of Nazi shit on Facebook and within 48 hours the shop got vandalized and the landlord evicted them. So that's neat!

Rmeinder to authors who have any ability to negotiate in contracts: make sure your audio contract precludes this.

"She posted pictures of her and teammate Alysa Liu with their Olympics team skate gold medals on TikTok with the caption: “They hate to see two woke bitches winning." [GOLD for Alysa!] www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

“A federal agent fired shots through the driver’s side window”. Sound familiar? That’s exactly how Renee Nicole Good was killed. This 23 year old lost his life and ICE’s involvement was covered up for a year. They’re killing people and hiding the evidence.

I’ll take Sunken Cost Fallacy for $100, Alex.

The Supreme Court:

Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."

Once again I'm asking Democrats to take their messaging cues from the sitting Democratic Senator who is the most vulnerable for re-election in 2026

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

It's like ICE is completely ignoring every lesson that moderately competent police forces are forced to learn, like "don't do high speed chases in densely populated areas with low risk targets"

STUNT ON THEM

An inauthentic account will often say MOSTLY things you agree with. This creates a feeling of “we are on the same team” And then when the time is right, they start slipping in their ACTUAL message—whether it’s disinformation or propaganda or creating instability

What the f could be in the rest of the files that is WORSE than what we have already seen? Lordy Lordy Lordy.

Violence against animals and domestic violence are often reported precursors to mass shootings. It’s almost like we should somehow track this and make laws that make it more difficult for people with violent behavior to access firearms….

If I were a billionaire I'd post a lot & some of it would be about making other billionaires look bad. "Ope, I just funded all the GoFundMe's" or "Found a way to house all the unhoused people in Minneapolis, go me!" + shit like "check out this movie theater I bought where I show movies for free!"

Donald Trump is a mass murderer carrying out an ethnic cleansing campaign. He’s raising the price of everything for fun & turning the military against cities—all while building his own Versailles. Voters for whom trans participation in sports is still the most salient issue are never voting for you.

A quick "whoa, really? that's really fucked up, man" from a white dude to another white dude for expressing a conservative opinion is (sadly) one of the most effective ways to change that white dude's behavior. Not usually the underlying beliefs, but the behavior. It gets in their kitchen.

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from. We'll let their words speak for themselves.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

Anthropic head of AI safety quits, warning of "world in peril" & announces plan to study creative writing, as my college charges ahead in deal with Anthropic, which trained its tech on at least 25 books taken without permission from our Creative Writing faculty. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is beautiful. Thank you, @laurajedeed.bsky.social , and thank you to everyone who was interviewed.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

NEW: Ring has introduced "Search Party", a horrifyingly dystopian feature nominally designed to turn all of the Ring cameras in a neighborhood into a dragnet that uses AI to look for, in their commercial, a cute lost dog. With Ring, US consumers are actually building a surveillance dragnet.

They have now removed the Pride flag from the Stonewall Inn. Erasure. Just like the Nazis. gaycitynews.com/trump-rainbo...

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import

As a person who created THE sign that went viral in 2016… Our sign raised MILLIONS for orgs like the ACLU. I helped save a struggling women’s health advocacy group in WI. It’s had so much cultural impact that the NYT ran a front page hit piece on it 8 YEARS LATER. THESE THINGS MATTER.

People keep complaining about the red hats because they’re not “real” protest but that lady has raised and donated over $600,000 to her neighbors in MN *and* is the the daughter of a refugee from Egypt. Y’all gotta sit with those impulses and then calm tf down and think about WHY you feel dismissive

Honestly I’ve had a lot of luck with just having porch geese.

*Green card application in process and work permit, married to US citizen *Lived in US for 20 years, no criminal record *In detention for five months with no charge, despite judge approving release *He disputes ICE claim that he signed forms agreeing to deportation

Reflecting on this, I think everyone should have the experience of getting documented proof that yes, in fact your enemies are conspiring against you.

I feel like I'm losing my goddamnned mind. This op-ed was written by Kathrine Mangu-Ward. Katherine is editor-in-chief of Reason magazine. Reason fired @shikhadalmia.bsky.social for being too anti-Trump.

I have been hearing snippets of Bad Bunny nonstop for HOURS since the halftime show because my husband cannot stop watching any- and everything about the performance. Truly delightful. 🕺🏻💃🏽

oh my god this is even lower than the funniest low number I was imagining

Wow hello new folks! We are here to take care of each other. That is all.

this is so funny, god bless louise lucas, Hero of the Commonwealth

“When it comes to choosing between storing a championship ring or trophy in a room, or providing kids with an opportunity to change their lives, the choice is pretty simple. Sell it all.” KAREEM RULES.

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

Hahaha OK that's pretty good.

america really is the main character of the world, but in the twitter way

And while everyone is feeling good about Benito giving a Grammy to someone who is not Liam Ramos: Congress can pass a personal bill to grant citizenship to Liam Ramos, his family and Kilmer Abrego Garcia.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

#BadBunny's performers continued to dance and party outside the stadium after the #SuperBowl #HalftimeShow

He ghosted

I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.

Great politics should look like a party you want to join
