Sorry but no.

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

What is the point of this guy, what a completely useless person to have the audience he does in our moment www.mediaite.com/media/news/j...

it’s extremely funny to show up somewhere with a black eye and then say that you were punched by a baby

lawfare is of course when you try to hold political figures accountable for crimes they commit

Fantastic text/image pairing here

The fundamental flaw of broken authoritarian narcissists (the core of the right-wing coalition) is that they view empathy as a finite resource, such that, if you extend it to one group, you can't extend it to another. They see all of life through a lens of scarcity, competition, & selfishness.

I know I should take this seriously but this ICE tweet genuinely made me laugh.

Folks Trump has no authority to fire the National Portrait Gallery director and no one need report it as if he does

The right is getting better at logic and it's making lefties nervous

He was attempting to catheterize himself but he relied on ChatGPT for instructions and the resulting pain caused him to pass out and fall facefirst into his voice-activated urinal

NOW— Mass ICE arrests happened/are happening at the Manhattan immigration court at 290 Broadway on the 20th floor. I was just outside the building and an observer came out crying, confirmed they witnessed people getting detained outside courtrooms while families watched and wept.

A dead tree stump is enough for a whole mini-world of plant + invertebrate life. Ireland's last fragments of temperate rainforest are so incredibly species-rich and precious, yet are still almost all being killed off by alien invasive sika deer, goats, + rhodo. It's an all-out war on life.

I just withdrew from a job interview because right before I entered the zoom, I was presented with a mandatory agreement that they would own the video of the interview and could use it for any reason, forever.

AI is sold as a cool trick that can help you fool others into thinking you actually worked on something, but in effect distrust becomes more ubiquitous and "proof of work" becomes part of all work, making it all that more laborious and inefficient www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/s...

Morning headlines that don't make it to the afternoon. Finance journalists are the absolute worse for this, but dumb tales are rife in the media in general #TSLA and #ElonMusk: going down together into the K-hole

This photo of magnetic core memory popped up, taken by Ansel Adams. I investigated a bit: this memory holds 4000 bits, each stored in a tiny magnetized ferrite ring. It may be from an IBM 705 vacuum-tube business computer. 1/N

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

Compare and contrast the photo used by the media for ‘lovely family man’ Paul Doyle, and the court sketch…

After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers. No. I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children. Vaccines save lives and protect health. Period.

Just walked past a giant electronic CDPH billboard that said “Watch for measles symptoms after you travel” and boy I don’t know guys I would say 2025 is going poorly

This is deranged and completely untethered from reality.

Somehow found an article suggesting that barristers should listen to Krautrock www.counselmagazine.co.uk/articles/in-...

Incredible work by the photo editor here

So are we now going to get Taylor’s New Old Version? On a separate note, I’m really pleased for her. This is a win for creatives.

As of today, I’ll be encouraging anyone who wants to buy Why Do Birds Suddenly Disappear to get it direct from me. That way I’m sure to get the money from the sale. (UK only, I’m afraid) levparikian.com/index.php/pr...

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Seeing a lot of clever analyses of why Farage is interested in crypto. It’s really not that complex. He can spot a lucrative scam when he sees it.

Folks don’t miss a beat 😂

if you gave any of my drug loving friends infinite funds you would never hear from them again, which makes them infinitely superior to billionaire speedfreak Elon Musk
