The last game of the Fils match was one of the most cinematic things I’ve ever seen. Fans singing La Marseillaise during the break to pump him up. His celebration. Magnifique. 🇫🇷

Feel like there’s no tennis being shown, just commentating. #rolandgarros @tntsportsus.bsky.social

Paolini seems to really thrive under the pressure of being 3 or 4 games down and then coming back to win 6 of 7. 😆 Forza Jasmine! #romeopen

Stop using AI. Yes, even just for fun. AI is built on STOLEN images and text. That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI. Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment. (Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

they're coming for the libraries

As we write, DOGE is reportedly inside the gates of the IMLS (Institute for Museum and Library Services), where Keith Sonderling, Deputy Secretary of Labor and “somehow now Acting Director” of IMLS is dismantling the agency that helps libraries be libraries. /1 www.reddit.com/r/fednews/s/...

AltLofC's thread here has a script to send your reps regarding the elimination of IMLS. The ONLY reason to get rid of IMLS - which utilizes only .003% of the federal budget - is to erase knowledge & history. The regime is limiting access to this by harming our library systems, which many rely on.

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
