NEW: Andrew Cuomo used ChatGPT to help write the housing plan he released this weekend, which included several nonsensical passages. The plan even cites to ChatGPT on a section about the Rent Guidelines Board. hellgatenyc.com/andrew-cuomo...

Toddlers have perfect deadlift form

You’re tellin me a ge filted this fish??

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

The bipartisan belief that America would be a better place if *other people* worked in a factory. www.ft.com/content/8459...

Having the Rome derby on pasqua ebraica is crazy

Horrible emotional journey for palace fans this ayem

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

Huge thx as ever to @annabower.bsky.social for the play by play. While we await DCt next order, 2 notes: (1) DOJ lawyer says on record the govt intends to comply w/the order; (2) DCt sees Admin is gaming DOJ, so instructs DOJ to tell "client" that failure to produce evidence will soon = no evidence.

HAPPENING NOW: Following the Supreme Court's decision requiring the government to "facilitate" the release of Abrego Garcia, a hearing before Judge Paula Xinis is about to begin. I'm in Greenbelt, Maryland for @lawfare.bsky.social Follow along for updates

Yet even if this case now unfolds in the ideal way, Trump’s aspirations toward unchecked power mean that the nation will never veer too far from the “path of perfect lawlessness,” at least not as long as he remains in office." @adamserwer.bsky.social

It's much worse than that actually but I'll explain at a later date bsky.app/profile/shar...

interesting how rapidly academic freedom and free speech disappeared from the conversation after dominating it for years and years www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

NEW: while researching another story I stumbled across a group of AI slop farms on YouTube, churning out heartwarming fake stories about people in the Trump universe. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It’s amazing that things like cutting FDA funding are never framed as, “I think private companies should be able to profit from having you literally eat shit and you shouldn’t be able to do anything about it”

The Roberts Court, for once, did what it was supposed to do in a unanimous ruling telling Trump to try to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man the administration said they accidentally sent to an overseas gulag for life. We are in a very dangerous moment. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

it's wild that today ICE was just like, "we're the thought police" unironically

interesting because some shitty people on this website insisted to me that he might have committed a crime and therefore deporting him was justified, despite the Trump administration not even alleging one bsky.app/profile/adha...

For your enjoyment: here is Secretary of Education Linda McMahon talking about implementing AI in schools, but pronouncing it "A1," as in "A1 Steak Sauce" www.youtube.com/live/lxrg28z...

“Mommy, no. Mommy.” Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody. The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...

Yeah look, as the administrator of Cloud City I just had to make a deal with Vader, he got here first. Yeah I think he’s good for it, why? bsky.app/profile/scie...

Big story from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social — the White House has been suppressing and censoring pool reports. www.status.news/p/white-hous...

i'm excited to read the supreme court opinion explaining that the founders INTENDED for the president to be able to coerce his staff to produce fake evidence of voter fraud in an election he lost so he could cling to power indefinitely bsky.app/profile/char...

Pro-Trump political commentary right now giving off these vibes

I've gotten more hate mail for this piece than any other, a reminder that people myths that give people meaning die hard www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

BREAKING: Federal judge in Texas temporarily blocks Alien Enemies Act-based removals "from the El Valle Detention Center" in Texas. Judge Fernando Rodriguez, Jr., a Trump appointee, issued the order, as to 3 specific individuals & anyone else at the facility, shortly after being assigned the case.

me this morning www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

and then they got their slavering, housebroken propagandists to play dress up and repeat it bsky.app/profile/pbum...

On an individual level, people hear criticisms of Trump and they think "well i'm a Republican and I wouldn't do that" or "I'm a Republican and I don't believe that," and then bc they identify with him, they assume he's the same way and therefore his critics must be lying. bsky.app/profile/norm...

Unfortunately for a large number of americans their ideal existence is being a plantation owner in 1820s mississippi and they feel a deep personal void that they were born in a time that denied them the opportunity bsky.app/profile/mari...

90 percent. They sent innocent people to a gulag so Trump could look like a tough guy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
