John Roberts can fuck all the way off. Democracy was a fun experiment and when you look back on who killed it, don't forget to shit on this guy.

Separate from the fact that these ICE raids are immoral and are based on Stephen Miller's dystopic, horrific vision, they are also deeply impractical and will fuck up the economy in myriad ways.

1/ We are nearing the end of June and these are my favorite books of 2025 so far. Again, these are books that I've read in 2025, not books necessarily released in 2025 (though a few are new releases). In absolutely no order and all are novels with one (noted) exception:

If you need a reminder of what we're fighting for, here are a bunch of authors reading short excerpts of letters sent to them by grateful readers. Recommend having tissues handy.

You know what we should do? Use even more energy to have AI write a goddamn email

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Impeach TACO tits now

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

Working on a chapter wherein I have made notes to myself like: AI Bullshit here, TKTK and Book Ban bullshit here, TKTK and NEA cut fuckery here, TKTK Even in my notes, I like to keep it real. * TKTK is just a journo placeholder that means, "to come"

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

the claim that billionaires will flee NYC and starve it of their tax dollars if zohran wins is funny for a bunch of reasons, but most of all because they actually don't pay taxes

Using AI literally makes you stupider, pass it on: time.com/7295195/ai-c...

It is an all-out war on transpeople. Fight for #TransLives

I understand racism, I know misogyny, but I still remain baffled that the stupidest man in America is POTUS.

it's not just veteran patients being denied care for being lgbtqia+ OR — for not being republican! but doctors themselves can be fired for identifying as lgbtqia+ or as democrat. WE ARE NOT A LOUD ENOUGH PEOPLE!!!

Income Justice Now

One thing that most grinds my gears is that these human trash heaps will do their level best to destroy arts and culture (specifically literature!) and then all immediately try to get book deals when they exit the administration. Bc having a book still fucking matters to them.

Opinion: Ohio State is sending clear signals that education is not the prioritized outcome that the university desires for its students.

“What we have in this generation of ... AI is essentially a business where there's 10,000 mostly white men who are benefiting and 8 billion people around the world who are being either exploited at a minimum or directly harmed...” — Roger McNamee ( @moonalice.com ) www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8dd...

If you say you're pro-life, but you also support the GOP and Trump, you're only pro-fetus. #FuckMAGA #FuckICE #FuckMikeLee

Mike Lee needs to be removed from office. MAGA scumbag.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

1/ Optics shouldn't matter as much as they do, but yesterday's optics were bad for the Wee Orange Dictator. (He is not a small man physically, but he is spiritually and mentally very tiny, to go with his tiny hands.)

Go in and cheer the King, he rages, none Dare come about him.

Dude's wanted a military parade for himself for years and he finally makes it happen and turnout is worse than at a medium sized city's farmers market on a rainy day while like 2% of the entire country went out to protest his bullshit

At some point we should discuss Meta's policy of quickly erasing the Facebook profiles of right-wing killers. The public deserves to exactly know how these people were radicalized by Facebook's algorithms.

hey, we're always looking for new artists and illustrators to work with. please, if you are/know someone who is a great HUMAN artist, drop a link to your/their portolio. no promises, but we'd love to browse some portfolios today!! also pls share for visibility!!! 💀🖤💀

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER FUCKING WORD ABOUT BRICKS AND BROKEN WINDOWS.

MAGA is a terror organization. Full Stop. Trump is responsible for this.

But the children they said. It’s all lies. Every single thing MAGA stands for is a lie
