Really impressed by the clip I watched of Foudy and Abby Wambach discussing Eddy and the transphobic and racist attacks on players

This is what I mean, if the shadow docket balance of equities analysis thinks harm to the executive outweighs people literally going hungry, we will know all we need to know about Roberts

The real measure of whether Roberts is even halfway thinking about the popular legitimacy of the Supreme Court, especially the use of the shadow docket, will be whether they decide to do something incredibly stupid like suspending SNAP without an actual ruling

The lowball estimate from OpenAI is 1,000,000 users talking about self-harm PER WEEK?!?

The Onion, yet again, FTW.

"Largely in compliance" is a bullshit answer and I suspect this judge knows that and inspections are obviously the only way to ensure anything like compliance from people we know are willing to lie under oath

It has become my solid gold, number rule for social media: Hate clicks are still clicks, attention is what the bad people want, and that is precisely the precious thing that I will not give them

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command. If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics. It’s trials w real punishments.

When deception’s more profitable than honesty, users lose. Internal documents suggest that Meta earns $3.5B(!) every 6 mo. from scam ads, revealing a deeper systemic problem: the economic incentive to tolerate “higher legal risk” content still outweighs any penalty. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

This board is an absolute joke, they need Tesla, as a meme stock to continue to perform and they simply will not let the depressing reality of Musk as a shitty car company CEO damage their calm

Move over David Zaslav, there is a bigger idiot in Hollywood

Some people really do just want the world to burn and they desperately want to be the match

The key factor that everyone seems to always forget is that Trump was the host of what was once the highest rated show on network TV - a purportedly non-fiction show that portrayed him as a hyper-savvy and hyper-successful businessman.

My favorite comment on the FT story

Oh, it's gonna be *bad* bad.

These are some of the busiest airports IN THE WORLD (ATL, DFW, ORD, DIA, LAX, all in the top 11)

Judge Ellis’ ruling on this is extraordinary, wow.

Kodak was deeply involved in the Manhattan Project wat

Damn

The Pentagon press corps has taught me so much in my career. @sirenspod.bsky.social extended our chat with @valerieinsinna.bsky.social to explore what makes it different, what DOD owes Americans in terms of transparency and access, and where we go from here. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Get your colleagues and friends off it, folks.

This company absolutely proving at every turn that it deserves to go out of business and they know it

Yessir, nothing like that good ol' safe non-flammable* gas ammonia. It's only burnt the port of Galveston to the ground a few times. *for certain concentrations and environmental conditions

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."

Awesome! I'm so happy I found this.

OpenAI looking for a bailout guarantee from the government seems, uh, bad, considering the fact that its spending on data centers seems to be single-handedly holding American capitalism together

He’s a psychopath as well as an idiot

The K-shaped economy is exactly what restrictive monetary policy looks like. While the Fed's goals are for the overall economy, its tool of interest rates affects financially constrained households and firms the most. My new @opinion.bloomberg.com piece. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

They might believe different things in different places, and that’s okay! But if they don’t believe in *something*, voters won’t show up.

So much ink spilled on the question of what Democrats need to do to win, and the answer is just “run candidates who believe in things.”

It’s encouraging stuff from Roberts, for sure

Roberts might be aware of just how much clout the court has lost, and maybe part of him knows that its his fault. So he could be keen to actually judge the POTUS we have instead of his imaginary unitary executive. It’s theoretically possible.

Suicidal for centrists to be begging for moderation when now would be a great time to pass some big, ambitious policies and remind people why Democrats are better than Republicans.

I wrote about tonight's amazing news! "We should celebrate the election results. They have the potential to bring a sea change. We can look to these races for strategies in the next year and beyond. But it’s worth remembering that what happened today is just the wave. *We* are the water."

YUP

Democrats just ran the table, winning the marquee races -- NJ and VA sweeps, NYC mayor, CA prop, PA Supreme Court -- and lower-profile races in red and purple states across the nation. If the media you're reading or watching paints this as anything but a massive win, stop reading or watching them.

“Taken together, the results amount to a resounding rejection of the notion that Democrats must soften—or stay silent—on LGBTQ+ rights to win.” www.erininthemorning.com/p/a-stunning...

For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voter’s positions. Mamdani’s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.

Full Mamdani victory speech. ✌️❤️💗 www.youtube.com/live/NnM_RgL...

My takeaway from the elections yesterday is that it’s one thing to be unpopular and have a large portion of the media apparatus desperate to pretend that’s not the case but it’s another thing to be unpopular and have that be an undeniable fact

Hate always has its moment. But love wins.

"hope over tyranny "hope over big money and small ideas "hope over despair "no longer would politics would be something that is done to us. now it would be something that WE DO"

A BETTER WORLD IS POSSIBLE. IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN
