The government is trying to have her killed

Yale just stripped SJP of its status as an official student org after students protested the appearance of Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on campus. Ben-Gvir has been convicted in Israel on charges of supporting a terrorist organization

Re: that person posting random book queries sent to publishers - I can see the value in sharing DMs of someone that's put on a Male Feminist (tm) face but is a pest in private but outside of stuff like that, idk why you would share private correspondence like that, dating app convos, etc

Runs in breathless They got mad about nuns wearing head coverings

love to get letters from the government asking if i’m jewish

So where's Musk on his banking plans on X, the everything app? Cause I kinda want to see that attempt for comedy alone

I spoke with Denise Gough, Kyle Soller and Tony Gilroy about the fascinating dynamics between Dedra Meero and Syril Karn on ANDOR:

Disney got the bill for choreographers on a Star Wars show and said "well, let's see what he does with it"

“They could be doing an Amway presentation from 20 years ago [said one critic.] Just put a guy with a tight pair of shorts on, get some steroids in him and have him yell across the stage about selling real estate… that’s the only difference.”

Bessent signal chat: You guys positioned? About to announce we’re cooling this China shit down MarkZ: 👍 Elon: 🤣🤣 JamieD: yes Etc. Last chance for anyone sitting on the sidelines. Love you guys.

Remeber, the real villains are graduate students who say this is morally wrong.

The guy on the left will pull out the Lenny Bruce records from under the counter if you say the secret word, the guy on the right has an in with Deutsche Grammophon and hasn’t paid for a classical record since the war bsky.app/profile/sk-7...

step 1: empower a class of people with a demonstrable lack of concern for human life or flourishing step 2: empower them with a technology that *in principle* could alleviate suffering but whose actual uses are malleable step 3: ???? step 4: effective altruism end state achieved

I subscribe to a fair bit of what I call "normie" tech/mens interest stuff and man if even these guys aren't impressed with Apple AI idk who is www.howtogeek.com/apple-intell...

"Some officials say U.S. citizens who criticize administration policies could be charged with crimes" I always wondered how mainstream journalism would cover an impending dictatorship here. Now we know.

Masked men without identification abducting members of the population and throwing them into unmarked vans for non crimes This is fascism in practice and deed.

A funny thing is that a *lot* of wall street finance nerds are washed out physics majors, the "I suck shit at physics so I switched to finance" pipeline is strong. So obviously they'll respond to this utter fucking nonsense by making its stock go up.

Musk plans to "bring what [he's] learned at DOGE" to his return to Tesla. Starting in late 2025, all Model Y cars will be remotely programmed to crash into post offices and health departments.

Any evidence whatsoever of this

NEW: A SECOND story was released today of a Venezuelan man disappeared by the Trump admin. Neiyerver Leon is a barber who entered legally seeking asylum in June 2023. ICE arrested him on March 13 and accused him of being in TdA. Days later, he vanished off the face of the earth.

I stand for the real troops

the body type 1/2 thing in games seems like a weird half-measure to me but it does make ragebait youtubers so mad they shit so it’s probably good

Reading about the Satanic Panic and "Judy Johnson, whose allegations had set the entire investigation in motion, died from the effects of alcoholism before the trial began, but prosecutors nevertheless pressed forward." papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I'm listening to argument in Mahmoud v. Taylor, the conservative Christian attack on books with LGBTQ characters in elementary schools, and it is impossible to overstate how contemptuous Sam Alito is of the idea of treating LGBTQ people with respect. He is a rank homophobe. Nancy Mace in a robe.

Good luck I guess? This isnt gonna work with that non standard bed that can't fit a pump or a rack

lol lol lol lol lol lol apple.news/Ap1iWV174RYK...

Alito is ranting like an uncle on Thanksgiving. "Uncle Bobby's wedding. I've read that book...The book has a clear message...and it's a message that a lot of people who hold traditional religious beliefs disagree with" He's itching to say it's animus against religion to have this book in a class

Mom just suggested that I march right up to the Vatican, introduce myself to the guy in charge, hand him a printed copy of my resume and tell him confidently and forcefully that I’m the right person for the job.

"No one seemed to be talking about nonviolence anymore. How could they? 'It’s all lies,' one veteran activist told me. 'Human rights, international law, justice, all of it.'" harpers.org/archive/2025...

This is (legally) wild

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

Just gonna call it now, because of this country’s FAA issues and this madness, we will not be seeing the World Cup or the Olympics.

Generations of poor kids were sold the idea that taking out a student loan was an investment on their future and one they couldn’t afford to pass. Now after multiple once-in-a-lifetime economic downturns and endless avocado toast pieces those same poor kids are being targeted for immiseration.

Anyway, if you want to spite JD Vance and honor the late pope, who used his last address to remind us of the bottomless suffering of Palestinians in Gaza, consider helping my friend Obada, who is trying to survive the hell we created for them. gofund.me/fa2c63f0
