With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

lmaoo never gets old

Don’t want to lose sight of the fact that the No Kings rallies were planned specifically as counterprogramming to Trump’s parade. Imagine if you were planning a birthday party and bars nationwide announced they’d hold Fuck That Guy’s Birthday Night and like 15 times as many people showed up to those

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

in my town, I’m LIVING for this one

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

Don’t think I’ve ever muttered the words “fuck me sideways” quite so much reading a story as this one.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

I passed Anthony Bourdain as I was exiting the bathroom and he was entering, at the Bari airport. We were on the same flight.

Welcome to the "Who Cares Era, where completely disposable things are shoddily produced for people to mostly ignore." I really loved this piece by @dansinker.com looking at our current moment. It brings empathy and care to the AI convo that's very needed: dansinker.com/posts/2025-0...

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

As if things weren’t bad enough in LA right now.

If you told me I had a choice of a next door neighbor — sight unseen, the most wretched person from the most wretched country in the world, or Charlie Kirk, or Matt Walsh — I would pick the wretched person every single time, because there’s a chance they’re a decent person.

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

Large Language Models are architecturally incapable of reasoning or understanding. @GaryMarcus and I told everyone this, consistently, relentlessly, and from their very start. machinelearning.apple.com/research/ill...

So do we get why I was banned from speaking about Pinochet at the Naval Academy now?

A few Democrats are urging the party to make amends with Elon Musk and using a bad take on history to make their case. New post at CAMPAIGN TRAILS on how wrong they are: campaign-trails.ghost.io/welcoming-th...

On the Trump-Musk feud, @aoc.bsky.social: “Oh man, the girls are fighting, aren’t they?”

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

The Trump/Elon breakup is so good, Taylor Swift should write a song about it.

Buffoonery aside, I think a lot of Americans can't process that multiple generations of Germans renounce and revile past actions rather than treat them as an aspect of of their culture that must be maintained.

"We cannot build bananas in America" is an all timer

Impeach. Convict. Remove.
