We got another update on Jonathan Joss’ murder in San Antonio. The SAPD are walkkng back on their statatement that his murder was not a hate crime. I’m glad the attention to this case is forcing the police department to investigate this as what it was. A hate crime. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Has anyone called the American slap-fight Alien vs Predator yet?

Asking for a ten year ban on AI regulation is an admission from these companies (through their powerful lobby) that they are knowingly committing crimes that they should and would otherwise be facing hefty legal challenges and penalties for.

a friend of mine shared this ai-generated "emotion wheel" and unfortunately i have been laughing my ass off at it for like 15 minutes now. today i am feeling Fnliinneon

Don't BE DISTRACTED they scream at regular people. DISTRACTED FROM WHAT, SENATOR? What's the CONCRETE PLAN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS OFFERED TO STOP PEOPLE FROM LOSING THEIR HEALTHCARE?

NEW: Even after leaving public service, Elon Musk and DOGE employees are still subject to criminal conflict of interest laws. We're calling on the Office of Government Ethics to review whether Musk and others leaving DOGE complied with financial disclosure requirements.

Don’t be confused: The Senate Republican AI language includes the EXACT SAME AI moratorium as the House bill. Almost word-for-word. This is a complete, 10-year ban on state AI regulation. Period.

The dictator of one of the United States' enemies is using the President of the United States to announce military attacks on a United States ally.

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

BREAKING: Bill Clinton just said the courts might not hold as Trump tries to become a king. This is a former president telling you the system is this close to collapse. If you’re still playing politics, you’re not ready for what’s coming.

That this Netanyahu government strategy is designed to trigger a scenario where Egypt and eventually other Arab states, Turkey and the EU are forced to take in large numbers of expelled people from Gaza as part of a forced mass displacement policy has been visible for 18 months.

1/ This made me apoplectically angry, so I unloaded on Pete Hesgeth for scrubbing Harvey Milk's name from a U.S. Navy ship: "Behind these decisions is an administration limply fighting back against any incursion on the power of straight, White men... www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

As perfect an example of predatory delay as you are likely to find. As hot days grow hotter and more frequent, the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) and their allies are working to sabotage cool roof requirements. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I hate so much that there's a Big Dark Roof sabotaging climate policies, ffs

Some time in 2026 the final icy remnants of one of the last tropical glaciers in the Asia Pacific will melt away, shrouded in clouds, above West Papua. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/898350...

British surgeon Victoria Rose, who's just returned from Gaza: "They're coming through the doors like a conveyor belt... really small children with massive injuries.. bits of their bodies blown off... every day at least half [of my cases] were under the age of 11.. its barbaric"

Why does it cost 10x the amount to build mass transit in the US than it does in other advanced countries (e.g., France, Japan)? TEN TIMES?!? This article lists some plausible reasons, and they need to be fixed yesterday. bettercities.substack.com/p/americas-i...

I cannot imagine a scenario where those detonators are out to better use in the Middle East than in Ukraine

I started writing something important to me tonight. Not really sure what it is, but I’ll share the end of it. Watching the tech industry do what it’s doing sickens me, and I want people to know why.

The great Aussie gas giveaway is set to continue under Labor 🤯🫠 This is a total scam - we haven’t received a cent of PRRT for offshore LNG exports & the weak changes Govt made last term aren’t fixing it. Parliament needs to fix the PRRT. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.

"Gothamist observed at least 14 people, including 10 men and four women, being escorted by masked plainclothes officers after appearing for check-ins Wednesday at the 7 Elk St. office." "At least one of the officers wore an ICE badge." #NewYork #USA #Deportation

“Climate Council: lThe moment I saw news about Woodside’s NWShelf gas approval, enraged. This project will unleash 10 yrs worth Australia’s annual climate pollution. They didn’t have to approve this project. But caved to pressure from the fossil fuel industry – just like governments before them.”

“In a motion to dismiss the Schmidkneckt’s lawsuit, Optum Rx expressed ‘its deepest sympathies’ for Cole’s death and said federal law prohibits the case from being brought in state court.”

"It was the third Moral Monday Barber had led at the Capitol since April - and the third time he and his cohorts had been arrested." Their signs had "slogans such as 'Slashing the safety net is moral murder' and 'Don't cut Snap for 40 million poor people.'" #USA #Healthcare #Policing

New — I wrote about the injustice unfolding before our eyes as rich reality stars are pardoned for their crimes while law-abiding immigrants are rounded up and caged by ICE, and the way communities are rising up to say fuck no.
