I know white supremacists are not watching the NBA at all because currently every basketball team has at minimum one mandatory white boy that is literally Rudy from the 1993 film of the same name and not a single one of them has been co-opted to wage a proxy race war like they did with the WNBA.

Few things are as embarrassing as having to sign my name with my finger

This is what's happening in Minnesota today. Parents teaching kids to skate. That's it.

I think one of the most telling documents about our era would be if you could see the New York Times Trump obituary pre-writes for each of the last ten years to see how the ugly truths have ebbed and flowed.

My only quibble would be "in the US" it was pretty awful across most of the Americas

The people yelling at you on the internet also don't know what to do. That's because these problems are much bigger than individual people. You always have to keep that top of mind & act accordingly. Humility is a virtue.

Getting grok to publicly strip a woman’s likeness online or alter her image isn’t just horrifying at the level of the individual, it’ll be used to get us fired, too. It’s a technique to keep us in the home popping out babies because we lost our teaching job when some guy sent porn of us to our boss.

i think it’s going well

Really, a remarkable statement from Colombia’s President.

And mind you, she spent weeks publicly kissing his ass after the prize announcement.

The funniest, and possibly likeliest, outcome is that Rubio, et al. won’t let this lady run the new government because she won the Nobel Peace Prize and Trump didn’t.

I went on a couple of dates with a guy who believes chatgpt is biased against men. What a weird time to be alive

This is my deepest take if you want to cut the NYT cooking cord.

4 yo bonked herself in the noggin and is now trying to treat herself by taping a pack of fruit snacks to her head

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Rodgers is gonna be the first person divorced by his AI wife like it's gonna file while he's at practice or something

I am not making this up: two jacked guys at the gym talking about the price of RAM

“Why did the Ayn Rand–loving heroes of tech become Donald Trump’s bootlickers?” The answer is right there in your question, my dude

Just wondering if we should be paying attention to unusual polymarket bets on when certain countries will be invaded by the U.S. because that might be our first notice of the crimes we’re about to commit.

ALOT going on in the world, so here’s an adorable yet majestic owl for your TL. Hang in there, friends! 🦉 🗃️

I’m sick to death of how frequently people have to ask Republicans to specifically stop talking shit about their murdered relatives

“KIDNAPPING IS NOT A BAD TERM” what the hell is going on here it’s a fucking crime!

This has always been the goal—I taught chapters from Carol Brooks Gardner’s 1995 book on street harassment, Passing By, last semester, which clearly speak to that—but new technologies dramatically, frighteningly extend the reach & duration of “public harassment”

Some dorkwad told me I was jealous of Elon Musk because he is the “most successful person on the planet”. I responded that I have one very important thing that Elon Musk will never have: Enough.
