At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

Let's have some fun. In this NYT story, we see a picture of an OpenAI billboard on a college campus, suggesting the following prompt: "Give me a guide for mastering this Calc 101 syllabus. In two weeks. Small steps please." What happens when we actually use ChatGPT to do this? THREAD!

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

Tariffs!

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

More reasons to mask up at airports and on public transit.

This Nike fit Alcaraz is wearing makes him look like Charlie Brown.

It's maddening that after centuries of falsely claiming that women are too emotional to hold power, the two most powerful men in the US are definitively proving that claim wrong & some are still pushing misogyny by saying "The girls are fighting." Give it up already. Men are fighting like always.

Good morning, it's a new day, and yet another day in which steel tariffs are going to save a handful of jobs in Pittsburgh, but cost thousands of jobs across the rest of the steel-reliant manufacturing sector.

One obvious economic implication of the latest travel ban is that genuinely international conferences will no longer be held in the U.S.

i know no one cares about hypocrisy or shamelessness or anything anymore but these people really used to tell us they were scared of an armed govt being turned against americans, they made an entire career out of it

I dug into Trump's budget over the weekend and here are 3 things you might not see in the news that I think are really important to know about.

This Day in Labor History: June 4, 1912. Massachusetts established the nation’s first minimum wage. This was a result of long-time worker outrage over the conditions of their lives and the strikes that resulted. It also led to a pioneering law that would become federal law in 1938!

I just want a global 'turn all 'ai' off everywhere, categorically, no exceptions unless I individually approve them in triplicate' setting for all my devices

Just finished Careless People, and if it’s even half true we are in deep 💩. Also, ban men. #Booksky 📚

When Lyft or Uber asks you to contact elected officials to "keep rideshare affordable" remember that they profit from undermining public transit and increasing congestion. Use them where necessary, but don't let them use you.

“one-part rejection of the rights of women, Black people, and LGBTQ people; one-part ignorance of the practical realities of the modern world. Now add some bullets, sprinkle on transubstantiated Jesus to taste, and you’ve made a FedSoc judge.” ☕️ www.thenation.com/article/poli...
