This just reeks of bad faith. Like they’re all pretending to not know how this works

AI is killing people. We don't have to let companies hawking these products embed them in everything. If you work at a college, your students are already struggling with mental health, and you want to give them this? www.startribune.com/adam-raine-c...

I wrote about one lens of understanding Mamdani's victory, which is as a campaign that corrected many of the mistakes Democrats made in 2024 newrepublic.com/article/2027...

The judge DENIES the government a stay. SNAP must be fully paid by TOMORROW.

BREAKING: Federal judge orders the Trump administration to make full food stamp payments in November. More to come.

*click through* *it's Ross Douthat* honestly I should have known

Integration of elite workplaces at a time of media and entertainment industry contraction meant increased competition for plum jobs and prestige with people who were only ever supposed to be subjects or topics, not in newsrooms, writers rooms, or the like.

Flying Squirrel Loves It Every Time

Incredible. Also though I have to say, archival research and careful reading stay winning. Good thing we are racing to destroy the humanities

Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

Well this is awful news: tinyurl.com/yr65mjkx 'All modern language and music courses are being suspended for new students at the University of Nottingham.' Nottingham friends: please be assured that we will join you in protesting against this decision in the strongest possible terms. Solidarity.

fun fact: I met the developers of Trombone Champ randomly because they were in the same complex as I gig I was playing. they are not musicians and do not actually understand the mechanics of the trombone past a cursory level, which I first found annoying but have come to find hilarious.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

NEW: Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the state Senate tonight for the first time since 2011. It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat. “Mississippi just broke the supermajority—and the people have taken back their power,” the party says.

"Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government has slashed international study permits by 65 per cent for 2026 in its first federal budget." What?! Why?! I do not understand why this is a budget item. Entirely baffling. Devastating for Canadian unis/colleges. universityaffairs.ca/news/budget-...

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

there are basically not enough republican voters to create enough safe seats to withstand the kind of wave that, for example, turned virginia into a democratic supermajority state for the first time in the modern era of its politics

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

this is genuinely wild

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

Superlative retrospective on Dick Cheney by Spencer Ackerman, whose account of the war on terror is one of the more damning pieces of political critique I’ve encountered in recent memory

Of interest, no doubt, to @komaniecki.bsky.social lol

Hildegard may be dead (she is, we checked) but Hildegator is alive and chompin’! find me or one of my colleagues at AMS/SMT Minneapolis this week to get one of our *limited* Hildegator of Bingen stickers!

I have such strong memories of this guy, which I’m sure most of you share I will just say, I knew something was up with this guy when he was asked to chair the committee searching for a VP candidate for the GOP— and then picked himself

Right. Worth noting that Africana is not just the study of Africa, but examines the gamut of social and historical questions surrounding the African diaspora, not least of which is the legacy of chattel slavery in the Americas Which is probably the real stuff this guy wants to put in scare quotes

Hey AMS / SMT gamer friends, check this out! (And thank @jessicagetman.bsky.social for pointing it to me). I will be on the road and miss it but it looks super fun.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works, and don't settle for less! Don't be caught with your drawers down! You just step right up. That's right, it fillets, it chops, it dices, it slices, it mows your lawn. It picks up the kids from school, and entertains visiting relatives!

Wow if only there was a book that explained what Method acting is, where it came from, and how it both reflected and transformed 20th century America. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim

It's too bad that SCOTUS justices don't have to face press conferences It's also too bad that you wouldn't have a press that could call SCOTUS justices on Kavanaugh stops, even if there was such an opportunity In general, it's just too bad, full stop
