New York City is the most popular port of entry for international visitors to the US. And more people historically visit the US from Canada than from any other country. But there’s recent evidence that some Canadians are boycotting the US: cnn.it/45LUhGy

In Seattle? Think you might need to take a little nonviolent direct action in the coming days and months? Come to our NVDA training on Sunday! actionnetwork.org/forms/june-8...

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

But he did. His open admission is both obvious *and* ridiculous… he apparently has no concerns about legal consequences. Trump’s not gonna do anything. And his fan base won’t demand it either. The integrity of the American legal system is torched. @votecnp.bsky.social

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

This is yet more evidence for the descriptivist rather than the prescriptivist view of language.

Welp, there goes another app I'll be deleting after I scoop up a couple of contact phone numbers. I'm not here for your AI, especially if it's Xitter's AI.

This rules for a lot of reasons, but especially because it dispels the myths that A.) old games were never political and B.) games like this are just stories, they aren't "about" anything. Should serve as a reminder to anyone writing about games why we should be close reading 'em.

Good morning✌️🍀

Musician friends - anyone ever use Groover? Is it worthwhile ?

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans

Greenpeace activists took a statue of French President Emmanuel Macron and placed it outside the Russian embassy in Paris on Monday to protest continued business ties between the two countries, as well as Macron’s climate policies.

Got time of your hands? We think the FBI should be investigating DOGE and Palantir for gathering data on American children.

"but my nostalgia" "but she doesn't own the fandom" "but I'm not going to give her money I'm just going to keep her property culturally relevant forever" "but also I'm definitely going to give her money and just pretend I didn't" Children's media consumed by adults funding fascism. Wild.

The Klan and ICE agents both were masks—and they do so for the same reason. Neither wants to be identified so they can’t be held accountable for their crimes. My article on why ICE agents should be barred from wearing masks deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/ice-agents...

As the saying goes, those who don't remember our history are doomed to repeat it. That's what inspired Martin Mycielski to compile what came to be known as the Authoritarian Regime Survival Guide ahead of Trump's first term. And now, perhaps it's time—or past time—to dust it off once again.
