Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

I cant even… www.france24.com/en/live-news...

So sad. 😢 I used to live on the block adjacent. Soooo many car-pedestrian or car-cyclist crashes in the U.S., few people realize it’s multiples higher than in other wealthy countries! It’s not just guns or lack of health care, already too much.

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

Esto de Rosalía es increíble #Lux

Whoa

Facial recognition errors can have life-altering consequences. In @techpolicypress.bsky.social, CDT’s @jakelaperruque.bsky.social warns that ICE’s new approach — treating AI matches as definitive IDs — violates currently-understood DHS policy and endangers civil liberties.

1. Nancy Pelosi, the first and only woman to serve as House Speaker, announces her retirement from federal elective office. Reminder: Pelosi was 47 years old and a mother of five when she was first elected in 1987.

It's never been mandatory to believe all women or victims. Every single person who came forward throughout the history of MeToo, which started well before 2017, has faced new acts of violence as retaliation from their abusers and the public for upsetting the status quo

Most men don't ever see this because its the water in which they swim. They do not perceive it, and to the extent that they do, they notice the incredibly mild and frankly feckless ways in which it is policed in society, because they are used to more impunity with it. That's all that's happening.

Excellent coverage again by the @chicago.suntimes.com

Sorpresa, nuevo candidato para cliente de mi nueva compañía de turismo deportivo 😂

Esta sí que no me la esperaba.

In other debates, Adidas is out with its new football ⚽️ campaign ahead of the World Cup, which takes place in the U.S. (mostly), Canada & Mexico. I love that Spain features prominently, with both Lamine Yamal and Aitana Bonmati, but the cowboy theme seems basic & unoriginal. U.S. = cowboys?

The one time I wrote for the @nytimes.com Opinion section, I had a different take on one of the big scourges of the workplace: sexual harassers and abusers. It wasn’t women, 50% of the population, ruining it by integrating. Forever boo to the bigots and biased ones. www.nytimes.com/2021/06/20/o...

❇️A DOUTHAT SYLLABUS❇️ I'm serious about this being a great pedagogical tool! I'm going to suggest some companion pieces and discussion topics, but would love my colleagues to add other suggestions and dimensions raised by this peice.

An excellent if depressing thread.

“Tests” the law. Weak from WaPost. Trump is using the military on US citizens, as if he is at war with the American people.

Okay this is…shocking? "Doctored" is a way nicer word than any editor would use if they found out someone took quotes from completely different documents, chopped them up, and stitched them together as one quote that omits *directly contradictory context.* www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

👋 Come watch our Freedom of the Press Foundation talk on "lessons from a decade of building whistleblower tech" later this week at Barcelona's #MozFest. It's kicking off the conference at 9 a.m. local time on Friday.

The whole of the internet is now run on the things that would have not made it past your email junk filter 20 years ago.

Challenger Gray October: Layoffs hit highest level for the month since 2003; hiring slows to lowest point in 14 years

NEW: The End of the Line: the centrepiece of Saudi Arabia’s Neom gigaproject - a 500m tall, 170km long wall-like building intended ultimately to house 9 million people - can’t get out of the ground, say more than 20 former Neom architects, engineers and senior executives. ig.ft.com/saudi-neom-l...

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

The FIFA Council, its governing board, were not given a say over this peace award. It is purely a Gianni Infantino innovation and he will decide who gets it. Amazing how a decade after a major corruption scandal nearly ended FIFA, this is how FIFA runs now. Such a concentration of power.

What can you give your mate who’s desperately upset on missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize? FIFA announce new peace prize to be handed out in * can I shock you * Washington 🙀

👋 We’ve been working on something new & we’re finally ready to let people play with it. It’s an “app for AirPods” called BeeBot – think of it like a social city guide emceed by an AI-powered radio DJ. I wrote a loooooong blog post (manifesto!) about it here: dens.medium.com/say-hello-to...

🔵🔴 Les notes del Bruges - Barça de la Champions League: dos destacats i tres suspensos preocupants ⭐ Lamine Yamal ha estat el millor jugador del partit

This latest @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social on the NYC mayoral race (recorded pre-election) is excellent. And the way he goes after Cuomo for both being a serial sexual harasser and for cooking numbers of senior citizens’ COVID deaths (españoles, piensen en Ayuso) is great. youtu.be/YAwzlt_afZg

Delighted to have had an event for the U.S. Spain Executives Community this evening at the beautiful Barcelona Health Hub at the Recinte Sant Pau Modernista. We had three health tech founders discuss the ins and outs of building a health tech startup in Barcelona.

“I’ve experienced this before, not as president, as mayor, as a young student," President Sheinbaum said. "My reflection is: if I don’t file a complaint, what is the situation for all the women in the country?"

if Joe Biden said this during a speech Hannity would immediately start anchoring special coverage and the New York Times would fire up a live blog breaking down every syllable

This man lives in a delusional fantasy and the press had half the country believing the other guy was out of touch.

An excellent piece on Pope Leo, native Chicagoan, coming down on the evil Trump regime tactics. Doing so in a diplomatic Papal way, but coming down hard all the same.

I read the news in the US, UK, Portugal, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, India, and Australia to prep for my podcast. Mamdani's win was front page everywhere. This is a big, big deal.

Just want to point out that this one little square (Employment-Based Immigration Law) is one of the most bureaucratically baroque and difficult things I've encountered in the law. Makes "closing on a real estate deal" look like napkin math.

Lindsey, Charlotte, and a number of other unimaginably brave women deserve enormous credit for kicking Andrew Cuomo out of New York politics for good.

Sorry, bud, all the big cities are blue. And the 20 largest Metro areas have combined population more than the 45 least populated states. If it weren’t for the Electoral College and 2 Senators per state, which handicap the party that does better in urban areas vs rural, you wouldn’t be in your role.

Imagine having a kid in this daycare who watches as their teacher is bodily dragged away by masked goons.

ICE detained a US citizen with a toddler in the backseat. ICE had to be bullied by the crowd to not do their usual MO and drive off with the man and just leave the car in the road. The crowd asked them to let the family come take the baby. Instead they drove off with the child

Also, the U.S. is highly urban. The population of the 20 largest Metro areas combined is larger than that of the 45 smallest states combined. NYC is America, urban centers are America. Not exclusively, but the MAGA troll ads that look like prairie life represents the U.S. covers just a fraction.

I need more people to understand the movement that could be brewing here in Georgia if this young man only lost by 87 votes in COBB COUNTY.

The Bezos bump

I’ve been on a ~journey~ with social media lately, in part linked to burnout and my own serious concerns about how it‘s harming our information ecosystem and therefore the human race. But I have to say that at times like this, Bluesky’s ability to surface important news is now unmatched.

This morning’s speckled sunrise over the Hudson River. 🌅 #NYC

From your keyboard to the ears of every foreign leader and their senior staff. Be more like Lula or Pedro Sánchez or Claudia Sheinbaum: stop appeasing Trump and stand up for your countries and the world.

El dueño del Miami Herald, entre otros medios, se acaba de cargar en una videollamada de Zoom a todos los periodistas de su sección de Última Hora. Vamos, que ha cerrado toda su cobertura nacional e inter y sus periódicos solo cubrirán la actualidad regional y local. www.status.news/p/mcclatchy-...

Amazing how upfront and unfiltered he is about his ongoing authoritarian project. The goal is to make sure the opposition can never win, and he flat-out says it.

The magnitude of the Democrats’ win yesterday shows the rhythms of US democracy are still very much alive. The race against authoritarianism is clearly not lost yet.
