What if the celebration is just them carrying Ronald back to the dugout to keep him safe

Anyone else having trouble managing multiple and conflicting realities? I really wonder if humans were built for bouncing between sublime calm and extreme anxiety.

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future. But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

When you’re just grabbing brown people

On June 19, 1865, Galveston's enslaved gathered around to hear Union Gen. Gordon Granger read his General Order No. 3, informing the last enslaved people in America they were free. Too bad none of that actually happened.

when you’re so racist you don’t let your workers have a day off for a holiday recognizing the end of slavery

USAID was one of the best things we, America, ever did. There is not really room for dispute on this unless your moral calculus is so different as to be alien.

CHRIS SALE my goodness

Sure Jan, he “assaulted an officer”…

you really should read this. the unfortunate thing is no one who actually needs to read it will. and the ones who do already knew. heartbreaking atrocities in the name of our government.

I am reading #OctaviaButler 's Parable of the Talents, about the white Christian fascist takeover of the US and it feels like it's just a simple extrapolation from the current reality. newrepublic.com/article/1968...

I know it's been said but I keep getting re-infuriated about RFK Jr doing his thing, like we had this vaccines thing *settled*, they rule and they were working and all we had to do was NOT put the worst possible person in charge of the country's public health apparatus.

The >$50 million spent on Trump’s DC military parade could fund public radio or any number of things that benefit humans.

When climate deniers argue that atmospheric CO₂ was higher in the past, it's idiotic. Humans evolved to live in the current climate, and we built our society and infrastructure accordingly. The atmosphere didn't have oxygen billions of years ago, and we certainly don't want to return to that.

This guy was a clock in Beauty and the Beast.

We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights. Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️
