Facebook is a cesspool, of course but I still use it for local news, gossip and events. A local organization was closed for Juneteenth and this is the community response. They’re so mad about Juneteenth that they suggest having a James Earl Ray Day. I really do hate it here.

It's Murderbot Day for all who celebrate: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sq_...

I love this opening line. #booksky #beckychambers #psalmforthewildbuilt #bookquote

The best dedication in a book: “For anybody who could use a break.” I definitely need a break. #beckychambers #psalmforthewildbuilt #booksky #books #cozybooks #dystopianfiction

What a truly terrible biographer Walter Isaacson is.

Amazing. Respect the lede.

It’s a big beautiful breakup

The Elon-Trump divorce is messy

Sinister. Who authorised this? Denied access for wearing tee-shirts protesting against genocide.

I give up. Trump posting a conspiracy theory that Biden was executed in 2020 did it for me. I just give up.

It’s so exhausting and they make it this way on purpose.

TACOs for lunch today?

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.

While I'm on the general subject of "AI," let me just say that it's a real dickheaded maneuver to tell an actual artist that their work "looks like AI." Their work doesn't look like "AI" because they're aping what "AI" does; it looks like "AI" because the "AI" company fucking stole from them.

the way you sleep when you have no job, no responsibilities, free meals and treats whenever you want them

I enjoyed watching RFK Jr’s brain work squirm every time he had to answer a question he didn’t like.

I will always be grateful to the first group of regular folks who just began to picket Tesla in mid February. Folks showed up took photos of themselves and kept showing up.

Get the measles vaccine for fucks sake

This is fucking gross. We’re nothing but incubators. Dead or alive.

"I asked ChatGPT, and--" ...the ghost of Ada Lovelace appeared and punched you in the face, I hope.

The jet is a bribe. And it’s a direct violation of the United States Constitution IF it is to be transferred to a presidential library, as reported. If it remains property of the US Government after he leaves office, then it’s no different than the Resolute Desk. As reported, it’s impeachable.

I’m getting really tired of really wealthy people fucking with the stock market and my 401K. Everything about this blatant manipulation of the stock market should be investigated.

Solar energy has consistently been underestimated. Today, it adds more capacity/yr to global grid than any other source in history. If trend continues, solar will deliver more electricity generation/yr than any technology before it. Graph from @nathanielbullard.com - great newsletter

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

My Mother’s Day breakfast menu, brought to me by a small chef wearing a Melissa and Doug chef costume.

I hate agreeing with Piers Morgan

New book! Went to buy a Mother’s Day gift and couldn’t help but to buy a book for myself as well. Oops 🤭 #booksky #bellhooks #feminism

With these tariff wars, an American Pipe is the only thing we’ll be exporting for a while.

Has anyone tried CTRL-ALT-DEL on our simulation?

JD Vance appears to be the harbinger of the Apocalypse

I don’t think cutting every single social safety program makes America great.

I wonder how someone with so many advantages and so much privilege still manages to feel oppressed, still imagines they are marginalized, still feels perpetually under siege by the world around them—a world that has always favored them. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/an-open-le...

If we can afford to give the pentagon almost a trillion dollars, we can afford Liheap and federal work study and community block grants. We can afford universal health care and housing all unhousing families and individuals and extended maternity leave #fuckTrump #fucktheGOP

Louder for the voters in the back!

National Security Advisor Stephen Miller are words you can only utter in the seventh circle of hell. Is that where we are?

Foreign films are a national security threat? That’s some North Korea level shit.

When they came for the humanities it was like, aw poor useless people. Then they came for STEM with the hammer.
