i'm thinking, this is great politics, this looks good, excellent, great endearing little stunt- then i'm thinking- oh this is excellent, this is showing kids what it looks like when an elected official is working for them, is doing their job i think a lot of us have forgotten what that looks like

Photojournalist Cristina Panagi was pepper-sprayed by ICE while covering arrests outside an immigration detention facility in Newark, NJ, on May 26. “They’re pointing and pepper-spraying press to prevent us from following and documenting,” she said.

God I hate Google's new icon for its calendar. It looks like a blue slice of wonder bread.

Do you have a Choppelganger, or are you someone else’s Choppelganger?

It is really sad to witness what is happening to CBS News in real time (including the mass layoffs of its journalists of color last year) but at least there are people inside like Scott Pelley trying to fight what's happening. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I like how this photo makes it look like Matthew Rhys is playing an evil tech genius who turns out to be a bumbling idiot.

It's been 16 hours since two journalists were arrested with protesters at Delaney Hall. Even lawyers can't reach them. New Jersey State Patrol made arrests. According to Essex County Jail, everyone is physically there. But they're just "transport." Legal "custody" is with Newark Police Department.

Thank goodness for Scott Pelley. This is satisfying to read, even though we know the bad guys are going to win again.

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

“I’m not intimidated,” corncob, etc. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/b...

"Bari loves this institution," Bilton told staffers at one point during the highly contentious meeting. "She loves '60 Minutes.'" "She's murdering '60 Minutes,'" Pelley countered. "She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it—and she's doing exactly that."

The danger of AI ruining Google isn't just that your own search results are going to suck (search results have sucked for a couple of years now) but that there is no longer any hint of a shared reality. Tired of seeing recs for better search engines when we're actually facing epistemic collapse.

Gladder than ever that I am not high-profile but still. Starting to feel like the kid who kept yelling that the emperor was naked in that story. At this point, isn't it clear yet that this shit is not only worthless but actually dangerous?

My son just told me that the person who looks like you but worse is called your Choppelganger. I love the youth.

spending more on milk and eggs isn't a flex, but these assholes will try to spin anything

When I first visited the Globe's offices in maybe 2009 I walked past the classified ad section, just an empty bullpen, a boneyard full of old desktop machines, empty chairs.

I had a horrible cold that lasted a full week. And now that I finally feel better all I want is to cavort outside and not work at all.

Everyone laughed when I said Driscoll was hot

If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.

This is why telling people “actually you have a lot of money and things have never been better” sounds insane www.npr.org/2026/05/28/n...

PRESS OTG AT DELANEY: I set up a safety form you can fill out so other press and press lawyers know what to do in the event you’re detained or injured. Especially important for freelancers but open to staffed press too! forms.gle/kt9QExdGRDmR...

as Trump keeps purging nonwhite people from the country, he's simultaneously purging immigration courts of any immigration judges he thinks could hinder that effort--and silencing those who try speak out about it and the Supreme Court is helping keep them quiet ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Uh guys. Uhhhh. Uhhh oh my god. Holy shit

ICE also got the 3-year-old killed putting him in custody of a random estranged in-law. "He had been stomped on, burned with a lighter, and suffered at least 17 blows to the head." A 3-YEAR-OLD. Burn it all down. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The state police are about to march on protestors at Delaney Hall as the protestors are singing “all we are saying is give peace a chance” with their hands in the air.

Greg Bovino and the head of New York's Young Republicans were in Portugal this weekend for a neo-fascist summit on ethnic cleansing. So why didn't the press cover it? My latest for @theredoubt.net, on extremism, antisemitism and media double standards: www.theredoubt.net/why-did-the-...

Ed Markey tears into Seth Moulton: "Massachusetts deserves better than a senator who scapegoats trans kids." The crowd goes fucking wild.

Somehow I’m fucking around on Reddit and there’s something weird going on with a flight from Newark to Spain that just turned and flew back to Newark. Hope all are ok.

okay sorry this is really funny. Graham Platner was on a Facebook "Are We Dating the Same Guy"

one of the absolutely gigantic neuroses of america is wealth signaling, to themselves and other, through food choices. this is why you have people living paycheck to paycheck doordashing shrimp scampi three times a week from olive garden

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

Have hit the point in this cold where I’ve got just enough energy to be bored, but not enough to do anything productive

RIGHT NOW: NJ state troopers with riot gear are forcing protesters supporting the hunger strikers of Delaney Hall and media ppl down the street. They’re firing flashbang grenades at the ground to force people to disperse, per the @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream www.youtube.com/live/yTlpCYk...

One of my strongest takeaways from the Bee this week is that it was a showcase for why critical thinking matters more than ever. So much of what the kids do up there isn’t rote memorization—it’s using their insane prep to solve words like puzzles (using etymology, patterns) in real time.

'vanilla ice congratulations u are the opening act and your planned set is 10 minutes but we are sure the 30 minutes you are set to perform will be appreciated for the entire 45 minutes also congratulations u are the closing act"

I just read a novel coming in October that made me cry and cry.

Talia has been boots on the ground since the beginning. Read her important reporting.

While Marcel Proust is best known for writing in a "cork-lined study," less known are his pursuits on the court as a triple threat swingman. He could rebound, contest in the paint. He could shoot deep. And he was skilled at forcing turnovers, or as he called them, "making madeleines."

Many Americans are choosing between healthcare and food. But sure, the horses must be gold.

Don't be sorry, they offer the best nap you will ever have AND are an incredibly effective tool at helping you not die from cancer, everyone eligible go get this done

GO WOKE ..uh, do great?

Life comes at you pretty fast

Exactly this

• No, everyone *isn't* using AI to do their writing for them. • Modernizing kids' books demonstrates massive contempt for kids. And for books. • He *is* an ugly fuck, and he should shut up. Have a nice day.

"It’s going to be people with substance versus people with shallow knowledge. It’s going to be mastery versus faking it. It’s going to be people with good taste versus tacky. I trust you will put in the work necessary to be on the right side of those battles.”

A lasting memory of Bilton is his stolen-valor coverage of Theranos, months after the WSJ’s John Carreyrou broke the story

imagine being president of the united states and getting snubbed by a group popular 40 years ago and best known for lip syncing and also one of them is dead

Ambulances are on the ground at Delaney Hall after reports that detainees (including kids) are being beaten and gassed inside right now. PLEASE CALL YOUR REPS
