Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

I'm pouring over the details of the reconciliation bill and its potentially apocalyptic effects on higher education for a short piece - it really is a five alarm fire. They're going to overhaul the student loan infrastructure as a means of anti-intellectual, resegregationist social engineering.

I think that it's time we accept that, for a large number of Americans, our culture image of ourselves as rebellious, revolutionary, or anti-authoritarian is less the foundation of a national identity than it is a kind of ameliorative fantasy that exists for the purpose of disguising its absence.

This whole thing with Mark Cuban is especially weird because I would have expected someone who came up in a tech related field in the 80s to have experienced abuse on old style BBSs that make what I said seem like a compliment.

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries might go down as the worst leaders of any party in modern history. I can't think of anyone who comes close to their ineptness, foolishness, ineffectiveness, and weakness. I don't know that they could be worse or do worse if they tried.

no one is illegal on stolen land. I am descended from those who were stolen from their land AND those whose land was stolen from them. They use fear to keep us compliant and lay the ground for fascist society. the cycle of colonial violence ends NOW.

If only there were some indications of intent to commit genocide coming from the Israelis other than the dozen different statements a day for the past 20 months by its highest ranking politicians and military personnel

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

It seems obvious to me the play for Disney et al is that they want to have proprietary LLMs based on their IP libraries, which is not good but it would mean protection for artist copyright and also a DisneyGPT would just really solidify public conceptions of genAI with cheap content slop

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

the anti-protest arguments don’t exist to persuade protestors to change their behavior; they exist to be had, over and over again, costing as many sympathetic bystanders as possible their conviction and their gumption

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Last time Obama got involved with a mass civil rights protest, he convinced the NBA to cower out of doing a strike. No, I actually don't want his input.
