I wish this weren't true, but we now have take his threats about Greenland more seriously, and start to talk about the world-changing mistake if he chose to go to war with Europe - which would essentially guarantee the rest of this century is China's.

This is blatantly illegal. A president can’t go into the oil business and then decide where to spend the money. We are completely untethered from our founding document with a lawless president and a Republican Congress which has abdicated all Constitutional authority.

(tiny asthmatic me is back to masking in public)

I'm Canadian. I'm watching in horror at Americans letting their country be destroyed before their eyes. For me to intervene would be hypocritical. Do your own dirty work before you become the bad guys in WW3.

I was watching this two days ago and musing to myself about what big distraction might land this weekend.

so I guess those billboards urging members of the military to obey only lawful commands didn’t work

In hindsight it was a bad idea to put a child molester with dementia in charge of everything. That’s our bad. That one’s on us

RIP Congress of the United States.

I'm losing track of how many countries a man livid he wasn't given the Nobel Peace Prize has illegally bombed. Iran. Venezuela. Nigeria. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Pakistan. Somalia. Syria. Yemen. Not to mention threatening to annex Greenland and Canada and invade Panama.

Now that they’ve started a war I’ve completely forgotten that they’re pedophiles.

Super sad. The Bell has amazing shows!

Incredibly sad/infuriating

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

good news everyone

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes. I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

Reminder that all it would take to throw the entire government into crisis is a single reporter on live TV asking him what year it is.

the year is 2031. streaming services have all collapsed, but not before driving all record stores and labels out of business. the only way to access new music is through a shadowy network of 2000-10 era mp3-sharing blogs that escaped record label notice by putting links on the comments

the luxury of quiet shock. Best wishes to those not afforded it. #bondi #brown

My heart goes out to both the Brown University community and the Jewish Australian community, who were both attacked yesterday in horrific acts of murder. Though these events took place on opposite ends of the world, they seem eerily similar and somehow related.

Start naming mass shootings after politicians who take money from the NRA.

so far tonight msnbc has interviewed two students from brown university that are also survivors of separate high school shootings. insanity.

Thinking of students, staff, and faculty at Brown tonight

Three Shirts McGee’s entire MAGA schtick was about draining the swamp, exposing the deep state cabal blah blah… Here he is palling around with Jeffrey Epstein. They are the monsters they were warning us about.

Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

When the AI boom began, copywriters were singled out as one of the jobs most vulnerable to AI. Now, three years later, I wanted to hear from workers on the frontlines of the industry, to hear what had actually taken place on the ground. For many, it was even worse than they'd feared.

More evidence that Trump does not listen to nor understand a word that comes out of his mouth

someone told the loud religious lady on my train to shut up and my faith in humanity has been restored

you jerk you didn’t call me up (bernadette mayer)

Palantir excelling at the « hold my beer » pronouncements of late

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

I love writing about books. In the new issue of @thewiremagazine.bsky.social (the hotly anticipated annual end-of-year wrapup) I reviewed this excellent one about a tradition I never knew existed: 7" records issued in support of strikes and other labor actions: www.commonnotions.org/buy/strike-w...

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

And I swear, once again, this is not dunking on kids. We are seeing this at all levels--even grad students. AI + social media has had a profound impact on how we think and process our world, and we can't stop to reflect on it, because billionaires keep hurling addictive tech at us.

When I ask them: "What are you reading? What are you watching? What are you listening to?" Often, the answer is: nothing. Which has a direct effect on their over-use of prompts and AI, because they can't think of ideas, because they are literally not engaging with a single figurative thing.

Probably fine

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

This path leads to chaos.
