working in public health policy, over the years you develop a good eye for a propaganda strategy called the "manufacture of doubt". what the new york times did here was exactly that. big tobacco would be proud

Why do ICE agents always drive terrible 10 year old minivans? It's giving "2nd kid's first car" vibes.

i love when rich new yorkers are like “tax me too much and ill leave.” no they won’t. new yorkers are obsessed with new york, especially wealthy new yorkers. where else can they feel like the emperor in his glittering imperial core? indianapolis? be serious

I’m old fashioned and believe the word “Starship” should mean “ship that travels to the stars” rather than this new interpretation of the word that means “very expensive thing that will definitely explode.”

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

Logically following Chalamet and now this, I was trying to figure out who the 80s version of the transformational-singer-songwriter-at-a-pivotal-moment biopic would be. But then I remembered Daniel Radcliffe has already played Weird Al.

Joe Rogan appeals to younger voters. Nobody under the age of 40 gives a rat's ass about Obama.

It's unclear to me why the US Congressmen are not escorted by big armed cops to push through obstacles to them exercising their legal rights, and instead everyone now defers to the guys with no uniforms or badges or name tags to determine what is and is not legal?

Our schools are run by people who don't think public schools should be focused on teaching kids fundamental skills. Instead they want worker drones at as low of a cost as possible.

Ugh. Drawing $450 million from a tax increment financing district IS asking taxpayers to foot a very significant portion of the bill.

Hey Bluesky, let's play a game, shall we? It's called "distributing these photos as widely as possible." This man assaulted community members and threatened journalists yesterday. We sure would love to know more about him. Recognize him? Please contact us!

Tech companies are violating state law in Illinois and selling student data to data brokers right now. Kids are at risk! There was a bill to rein it in by allowing parents to sue, but it died just a month ago.

it is funny how tech overlords, whose sole work experience is pretending to have something to sell while getting and burning through tons of outside capital with an end game that is solely enriching themselves, just assumed government jobs were as inefficient, corrupt, and pointless as their own

Raja Krishnamoorthi is running for Senate and didn't show up. He was able to go to a Trump rally with Narendra Modi a few years ago, which says something about his priorities.

Bluesky's biggest disadvantage is that it isn't set up to provide as many dopamine hits as Twitter. Addicts can't get the same fix here and they're in denial about why they're using Twitter.

Once again the correct response to this is to immediately push for a huge amnesty bill. If farm, hotel, and restaurant workers are so vital to the country that even donald trump can admit it, they should all be getting green cards now

Dr. King and the other civil rights leaders purposefully wore their Sunday best to marches because they knew that public opinion would be swayed when other people saw that they were normal upstanding people confronting injustice. And they were far more effective than Abbie Hoffman and the Yippies

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.
