Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.

*long drag from cig, explaining Serial to gen z* "so there used to be only one murder podcast at a time and everyone listened to it

He's right though #Ranma

Every parent whose career has to do with online safety also bans Roblox.

Big kid has had to explain to friends why they're not allowed on Roblox and it goes a bit like "because my dad works in tech"

This was me when I found out 😂😂😭😭😭💀💀💀 she officially stupid af idc, idc, idc

Most people don't really understand this, but the biggest problem with the media is that it does not exist anymore. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Among the countless things I dislike about job hunting, the trend of companies using “Customer Support” as a title for sales jobs is absolutely maddening

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

the baby (17 months) raised both her hands and said “WEADY?” so I said “ready!” and then she slapped me in the face

this is a metaphor for waking up and logging on

i own this print and it’s probably my favorite pants

I felt like I was losing my mind watching this person's remarks and had to write about how disgusting they are.

hey guys i made a seasonal meme

Why is startup culture always “I am inventing a coffeeproof phone you can put in your coffee cup to keep it warm with cell radiation” and never “I’m inventing a new library wholesaler to replace the single company that is shutting down and sending libraries into crisis”

i promise i don’t mean to high horse this but if you’re thinking about giving lizza ten bucks there are a lot of good independent journalists whose work you could subscribe to for a month instead

There’s a moment in the classic film “Paths of Glory” in which an artillery officer, told to commit a war crime, asks for the order in writing. That is happening right now, in real life, among US troops in the Carribbean. Except in the movie, the demand kept the crime from happening.

Trump will absolutely be won over by enthusiasm and energy and believing in something. he's a musicals guy. he's a showman.

this is your brain when your entire politics is just a set of aesthetics

We’ve 100% lost the war on using phones while driving and it’s the worst.

Page one of a new book and I already know it is extremely my shit

In a world in which people with too much power and influence desperately need to be told and to understand when they are wrong, we are suddenly all inescapably drowning in sycophancy machines.

we need a good night's sleep, for the left

In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

she’s a hero

Grok has been reprogrammed to say Musk is better than everyone at everything, including blowjobs, piss drinking, playing quarterback, conquering Europe, etc.

it just seems plainly clear to me that if you serve the country in any capacity, civil or military, and you are not a conservative white man, the Trump administration wants to make the workplace as hostile an environment as possible so you remove yourself

AI is the new motion smoothing

Retired never trump republican who got kicked out of the Boyscouts for being an atheist and is really into upgrading his micro mobility scooter is the most median voter in America.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

The IBCK is so fucking good today

hey instead of reading and sharing some book that sucks by a woman in love with an insane corpse who neither deserves nor needs the coverage, why not instead buy and read MY book. due to me being normal simplicitybook.xyz

If he weren’t much weaker than many people act he would be giving orders instead of whining on truth social. bsky.app/profile/pale...

Insanity

I’m just saying if you or I posted this on social media the FBI would be calling.

Trump calls for Democratic members of Congress to be hanged

My takeaway here is that Nvidia is the only big company making money on AI, and it was only $32 billion. Forgive me if that doesn’t quiet my AI bubble talk

RFK Jr. is a mass murderer.

The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially. Period. This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.

This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

And let me add: Blade and Blade II?!? Mos Def & Massive Attack?!?

I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.

Republicans and their kinks 🤷🏻‍♀️
