to be clear, i have not written a substack about my two ai girlfriends. do not put in the paper i wrote a substack about my two ai girlfriends.

i do think that people on bluesky are incredibly annoying when it comes to conversations about ai (ai isn't actually all bad lol) but i would absolutely never post through it after my substack about my two ai girlfriends was revealed

Congratulations to the tech + venture capital right wing. You played yourselves.

I’ve had a thesis for a while that the sudden increase in the cost of debt is one of the main drivers behind people believing the economy sucks, and my God:

One chart that shows the huge gap between people with a ZIRP-era mortgage vs. those who don't. From today's newsletter. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

increasingly obvious that congressional dems have seized on the "distraction" thing because it provides them with an excuse for doing nothing about any concrete issue and instead complaining about some general principle that they think plays well in focus groups

Elon Musk, 53, wants everyone to know he is sober when he posts memes at 1:22 a.m. saying the New York Times is gae

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

Biden’s ultimate legacy will be that he didn’t do a single goddamn thing to protect the people of the country from the rise of fascism. Pack the courts, force through a bunch of legislation, etc. An affable, completely ineffectual President who set the stage for what we’re living through now.

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

A day after Comptroller Brad Lander's arrest, Congress members Dan Goldman and Jerry Nadler at 26 Federal Plaza now attempting to visit ICE detention floor to see conditions there, they plan to visit immigration court also.

This is all correct. Trump’s decisions almost always reflect his animating motive of pursuing personal glory. www.offmessage.net/p/18-thought...

The Alt National Park Service account calls itself the official "resistance" team of the US National Park Service. With 887k followers, is one of the biggest accounts on Bluesky. It is the 11 most followed account according to some trackers. This thread will dive into its activity. 🧵 1/x.

Solidarity.

four of Brad Lander's political opponents praising him and speaking out in his defense shows that not only does this crew understand the stakes but also the incentive structure created for candidates by ranked choice voting is dope

Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is now here calling for the release of Lander (his fellow mayoral candidate)

Your semi-regular reminder that @altnps.bsky.social is 100% pure LARPing BlueAnon grift that's unsourced theft of other reporting at best and active disinformation at worst and you should not give them a single bit of attention

Masked federal agents just cuffed NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander and dragged him away because he was demanding to see a warrant for the arrest of a man they were abducting.

One month apart.

The killer is consistently described in the press as “a devout Christian who opposed abortion” as if that’s an essential trait of devout Christians. Many, if not most, “devout” Christians support abortion access. Melissa Hortman was a Catholic who taught Sunday school.

the story of 2019-2024 was institutions from Silicon Valley to the police facing a modicum of accountability and radicalizing themselves into support of a leader and party who promised unaccountability

People on here, regardless if they're left or liberals love to assign many voters deeper motives than they have. A significant amount of people voted Trump because he's the man from the TV that said he'd make things cheap again.

Fascinating to see how long an adoption curve takes to fully play out. Technology takes time to absorb Some of us got here 15 years ago, or more. But habits and inertia are powerful things

if we rebranded communism as “prosperity economics” and “seizing the means of production” as “supply-side democracy” I think we could make some serious inroads with working-class liberals. words don’t mean anything so why not weaponize that.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Pentagon Pizza report making for some interesting reading tonight x.com/penpizzarepo...

Essential point in this exchange with @willsommer.bsky.social: Trump-Miller have to target noncriminals for deportation because it's the only way to get the numbers they need to try for "full-scale ethnic change." Terror is central to this. Will is very good here: newrepublic.com/article/1968...

Lmao 🥰 Cynthia Nixon www.instagram.com/reel/DK-aPsy...

Axios reports Lee surprised to be confronted, per Smith I’m not surprised, and it’s necessary for more Dems to put these assholes on notice. The national party’s lack of spine has emboldened not just the tweets, but also the much worse stuff including violence www.axios.com/2025/06/16/t...

Spitting FIRE holy shit 🔥

The big red line was the 2008 financial crisis, when it became clear no rich person was going to be punished for anything, and then two years later Citizens United was overturned and politicians became dramatically more financially incentivized to never punish rich people for anything.

I love all the handwringing about Zohran’s lack of experience when a 19 year-old called Big Balls has recently been made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the GS-15 pay grade in the General Services Administration.

put a slice of havarti in the CD player. thought i’d give the mates a laugh. played the most beautiful song i’d ever heard

lfg

AOC during Zohran for Mayor rally: "There are people out there who say, 'If you go out and make this endorsement, your political career will be over.' And to that I say: I don't care. We will never get to a better place if everyone is just worried about themselves. If it's over, so be it."

Here’s the thing I’m not totally sure we aren’t in the midst of a civil war

looking back in the Sharon archives for content

can’t believe this still needs to be said, but: stop following altNPS. none of them work for the NPS and they exist to do Qanon numbers station crap and sell merch. it’s annoying for a lot of us that are actually NPS. thanks

I'm loving all the videos of yesterday's protest but especially this wedding party that decided to join in
