Look, Jessie Gender just did a 4-hour video on a 24-hour TV show. I’m just saying.

The reporter in his thread soft-pedaled a person involved in CSAM, got called on it and was proud of being called out for protecting a CSAM person. This only happens because the NY time leaderships sees pissing off people to the left of Trump s more important than reporting. These are bad people.

The NYT platformed Dom Lucre no fucking way lmaoooo Oh god what the fuck. TLDR he's a famous CSAM guy. And 'following him for years' is certainly something to admit. He's not newsworthy. Just isn't. But here we find the NYT both sidesing child porn I guess. Good job man.

people have raised extremely serious problems with his story (namely, that Lucre watermarked the worst CSAM on earth and was clearly lying about how he acquired it) and the response is to be snarky about the bluesky pileon what is going on in the newsroom there

not enough said about how, by turning the national government against states on the basis of ordinary political disagreement, trump is undermining the idea that the union is worthwhile. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

This is genuinely fucked up and the editors of the Times should be ashamed for how cruel they are being. Bastards.

One striking thing from this (excellent) report on a DOGE employee's use of AI is that everything about it is antithetical to sound software engineering practices—an engineer hurriedly deploying an unfamiliar tool to meet an impossible deadline for a problem domain in which he has no expertise.

We spent so long treating Americans data like a profit center and not a right that no one is terrified enough at this gross attack on our civil liberties www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

Ro Khanna is fine with open Nazism, transphobia, and a goose-stepping apartheid movement, but he’s super opposed to women of color in his own party speaking about their own harassment. He is a cynical money chaser bested only by James Carville in the worst way.

Hey, why is the New York Times soft-pedaling a conservative influencer who posts child sexual abuse media on X?

There are 1 million other things that drive me crazy about the world lately, but one of them is that gay history — which had *finally* begun to be incorporated into basic education, which is central to so many stories of art & politics — is now being treated as radioactive, like porn or propaganda

Relentless propaganda aimed at young people with almost no response from progressive orgs/funders has essentially ceded the influencing of young men to the far right.

The politicization of waste (aka owning the libs on energy and climate) has completed the move from campaign strategy to policy.

Jesus fucking Christ a bunch of *children* committed an acid attack against a trans woman in Philly. this is what this fucking ever-escalating rhetoric gets us; children are radicalized before they can even conceptualize of the weight of their actions www.inquirer.com/crime/acid-a...

I taught my first version of this class a few years ago as I looked back on creating my first collection and the choices I made. This edition is me thinking into other formal possibilities as I contemplate putting together the next collection.

The distance between Elon Musk being the richest person in the world and Elon Musk being in prison for an obvious Theranos-style scam that kills its victims is the distance between the world we live under and the world we have on paper
