If you're a vegan it is okay to eat a comet but not so much an asteroid because they're a little meteor
To be clear, I’m saying this in awe and admiration
These motherfuckers behind The Pitt took subtext out back and shot it. This week’s cliffhanger is a punny metaphor for “sometimes it IS a slippery slope, and you’re going to need someone to come down there and rescue your dumb ass, and we will have told you so”
“Worse at the job,” broadly defined
If you think of someone being picked by Trump because they were his first choice — he is absolutely a person who ranks everyone he knows — it follows that his second choice was second for a reason, and it may be stochastic preference or it may be because he knew they would be worse at the job
it’s only an echo chamber when it’s the left. when it’s the right they call it some bullshit like the Agora or the Town Square
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
Jesus I thought that pinstriped boy in Today In Tabs was what’s-her-face from the free press dressed up as John Oliver for … whatever her reasons were
New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...
Wrote about the central lie of prediction markets. How they are the perfect technology for a low-trust society, simultaneously exploiting and reifying an environment in which believing the motives behind any person or action becomes harder. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
Probably fine, not like "protecting your privacy" is their entire brand or anything
It’s intentional sabotage of intellectual competition
I’m thrilled to welcome the @pwhlpa.bsky.social to the @aflcio.org as our 65th union!
Women’s hockey players are inspiring a new generation and building power on and off the ice. America’s unions are stronger with the PWHLPA in our union family. bit.ly/4lkwBis
OpenAI and…the United States Military…are teaming up to notify YOU that your son has been KILLED IN ACTION. Click here to speak with your son via AI one last time
Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
The battle between the Pentagon and Anthropic couldn't have come at a worse time. AI safety is no longer a hypothetical problem; it's a real concern for the world we live in today. And the US Government's demand? Move faster and break more things. My cover story: www.economist.com/briefing/202...
Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)
If we survive this kakistocracy we really are probably going to have to completely rebuild the entirety of U.S. IT infrastructure
suspected breach of FBI network used to house "wiretaps and intelligence surveillance warrants." 👀👀👀
Highland Park is installing ICE warning sirens. An excellent idea and goddamn I’m sick of the necessity.

Yeah, this clip will certainly be shown as evidence at the trials.
“Hey, we love your integrity. Can we buy it?”
A picture of The Onion in print featuring this article posted on Twitter. https://theonion.com/anyone-else-have-those-weird-dreams-where-sobbing-future-generations-beg-you-to-change-course/
Grok being wrong: The Onion does have (hilarious) print editions, but this specific "Sam Altman" piece isn't from them—or any real outlet. It's a custom meme image made to look like one, floating around since at least February. Spot on for the satire though!
Wrong again, dumbass
Matthew Rhys should go ahead and start preparing for this role in the eventual Sorkin movie.
Jesus Christ what an O Henry-ass predicament
Alfonso Cuarón doing Graham Greene’s The Power and the Glory
Ryan Coogler doing NK Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy
I also think the time is ripe for an adaptation of Jean Rhys’ Wide Sargasso Sea but I’m not sure who would be best for it.
nice to see that some American institutions are still functioning

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there
