Controversial opinion: Immigrants are good, actually.

The day when a bunch of people whose anti-Trump anger made you identify with them turn to posting about how unbothered they are by the fiery deaths of random families in apartments and it might be a good time to go practice scales or read a book or something.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Love this Reddit thread about middle-aged men realizing they are crying a lot more easily. It's such a funny split between "we see the fragile threads of life" and "dude male menopause is real, get your T-levels checked"

I love reading serious stories about guys who believe AGI is real, it feels like a bunch of millionaires plotting to find and capture Santa Claus

How could we be on the verge of superhuman artificial intelligence if websites can't even figure out if we are the kind of person who wants cookies or not?

If AI will rival humans in 5 years and humanity will spread to the stars in the years beyond, then how many years after that will it take for Google to find a way to get rid of "an unknown error occurred" messages?

Proud today to be born in L.A. and thinking of an immigrant ancestor who came to California to find contractor work rebuilding San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake, like the Home Depot workers after the fires.

It is so frustrating when people say that Trump needs a pretext to escalate or a reason to be authoritarian. There is no justification for either and he has already done both without needing an excuse. This is what abusers do. They victimize regardless of what their victims do

This is true bravery, and my heart is with every single soul who put their own safety on the line to protest fascism

Been thinking about this 1963 photo from the Civil Rights Movement that made Americans realize what was going on in Birmingham. If engagement algorithms had been around, though, who would have seen this and who would just be scrolling through crappy AI memes of Bull Connor?

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

DON’T TUNE OUT! #DogeKills. I keep updating the heartbreaking numbers of DOGE-cut USAID victims. At today’s @teslatakedown.com I could not get the customers who were in the showroom to look. @indivisible.org @wallingfordindivis.bsky.social

I love Los Angeles.

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

Turn it off. Stop using it. Turn it off. Stop. Stop. Stop. If every time I was wrong about something, a gallon of precious water was boiled into the sky, my neighbourhood got polluted and someone lost their job, people would stop asking me things.

attenborough voice like the mighty salmon, elon musk can already sense that his end is near... and so now begins his last great journey, swimming relentlessly upstream to the garbage centrist democrat spawning grounds where his lifecycle began

“I was happy to work with a man I knew was pedophile until he cut my EV credit” is such a hilarious rich person sentiment

Elon Musk genuinely thought firing thousands of government workers and killing hundreds of thousands of people by cutting foreign aid was going to make people love him. The moment that didn’t happen, he went down a spiral he’ll never escape from and it’s kind of nice to watch.

New piece! Media coverage of Kilmar Abrego Garcia hurt Trump, not Democrats. An actually data-driven analysis of some stale conventional wisdom. Alt title: Matt Yglesias is wrong about Democrats and Abrego Garcia🧵

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

I’m not alone in this revelation or anything but it would be great if Democrats actually noticed Republicans aren’t getting agitated and defensive about taco trucks or raising the debt. They’re getting agitated and defensive when you point out their budget bill will kill people.

So Google's idea of the future is that teachers after a long week of grading their kids' AI-generated papers are being encouraged to receive appreciation that is LLM-generated.
