This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: www.nytimes.com/inte...

Mamdani already does what Greenblatt demands. He says that "antisemitism is a real issue in our city" & he wants to increase "funding for anti-hate crime programming by 800%" & "what we need to do is focus on keeping Jewish New Yorkers safe." Read the transcript: bsky.app/profile/greg...

Insane that Mamdani is being asked to condemn words he has never said while being accused of not saying words he has repeatedly said in multiple venues over the course of months

The way in which people perceive sentience and understand what it means to know something (or relate to something) has always been a key aspect of both religion and scientific taxonomy. AI is but a current point in a long line of personification and anthropocentric thinking.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens. Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important". Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary. substack.com/redirect/169...

The idea of being able to revoke US citizenship seems insane to me. What is the point of citizenship if it can be revoked? I don't think there is anything a person could do that would justify stripping their citizenship.

I was prepared to be surprised by many things when I moved to the US, but I was not ready for the discovery that as someone who uses English as a 3rd/4th language, I somehow appear to have a better grasp of it than actual journalists at prestige publications for whom it is their first language

Look there’s a lot of competition but tagging @jamellebouie.net in a post about a random diplomatic maneuver in Africa may be one of the most racist things Vance has ever put his name to. He even doesn’t cover foreign policy! It’s literally the VPOTUS declaring “you people are all the same to me.”

Anime was popular in the Soviet Union -- even Andrei Tarkovsky watched it. And animators in the USSR wanted to compete. The recently restored Mystery of the Third Planet was an odd, wonderful attempt to do so. We explore its story: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/soviet-anime

This how I know black folk and white folk live in different realities. Because I coulda told you in my teens that some people in this country have so much hate in their hearts that they’d burn this country to the ground just to be rulers over ashes, if it meant people they don’t like get hurt more.

You hear this a lot on the left but it isn't true. USAID did not "fail to tell its story to Americans," the right targeted the agency with lies and misinformation. Ultimately this narrative turns conservative attacks into even more calls for the left to reform. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/o...

Seriously. You know who has great messaging? Cancer researchers! Literally curing cancer! Sells itself! Still got fed to the DOGE woodchipper. FEMA and the National Weather Service got fed to the DOGE woodchipper, too. Nobody thought poorly of them until the right did the thing they always do.

As a Brown man who grew up with a family who all eat like this, I can't tell you how deeply this hurts and genuinely cuts. The racism is unbelievable. I eat like this and am proud to do so but it doesn't stop how painful the shock is that someone views you this way.

Just a reminder to never stop learning. I didn't get into coloring comics until I was 40, almost 8 years ago now. It's never to late to learn.

In this Ohio diner, battery still means the reason you have to wear an ankle monitor. But they do know this: Even though the Republican assault on clean energy will mean losing your job at the battery factory, it's worth it because many of the other people getting laid off are Black.

IT’S FUCKING CHESS What POSSIBLE advantage, even in the warped mind of a transphobe, could being transgender give you at chess? They’re so nakedly hateful they just can’t stand any trans person winning anything ever. Pathetic.
