I feel like Bluesky is unaware of Zohran Mamdani’s dark past as the hip hop artist Mr Cardamom? youtu.be/iQVsVNPkPmE?...

Not only was this a great move by @kristoncapps.bsky.social, but it's also a reminder of how prizes like the Pulitzers are determined in part by who actually submits to them! It's not like they just read and survey everything out there bsky.app/profile/dcei...

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

I feel like we aren’t making a big enough deal about how insane this is

No, but it did take longer.

If I were in charge of a small liberal arts school, I would start thinking about aggressively marketing my institution as a "knowledge-first" college. One where students can escape the intrusion of constant AI and focus on deep learning and engagement.

The MSM is fascinated by the Trump/Musk feud; but the actual story - which is one of venal oligarchs fighting over the spoils of a nation they are gutting - is oddly being ignored.

Picard management tip: Study history. The answers are there.

Great @mjtoma.bsky.social piece on Trump-Musk: "Any eulogy for this relationship must first and foremost be a eulogy for the United States of America...It’s tragic that working Americans are held hostage to this madness." Yes. The story is what this says about USA: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

81 years ago today, America struck a blow against fascism Who knew that fascism was playing the long game?

Get in, losers we’re microblogging perimenopause.

oh is this just a distraction? is that it? a distraction? for rubes? are you the smartest little birthday boy in the whole applebees? is that it? are you three steps ahead? with your mind chess? in your little birthday boy suit? do you have it all figured out? are you mommy’s special buddy?

also, WTF with everyone portraying this as "two little girls going after each other"? this is exactly what entitled assholes do - and I swear to god, it's not lost on me that both of them are white, male, extremely mediocre, and recipients of vast, inherited wealth. this is male pattern bullshit.

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

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

The history galleries at the National Museum of African American History & Culture culminate with you confronting this quotation as you complete the journey and, well. You've already been hit so, so hard.

University of California faculty members and researchers filed suit against President Trump and several federal agencies, in what they hope will become a first-of-its-kind class action challenging the administration’s sweeping cuts to research funding.

Can someone photoshop eyebrows and eyelashes onto Stephen Miller, I have a hypothesis

Cognitive dissonance between “did they work” and “did they annoy me personally.”

Immigration discourse so far has centered around the growing policy mismatch between what people “voted for” and what they’re getting. But this piece is good in pointing out there is also a deep values/ideological mismatch that Dems can exploit. newrepublic.com/article/1961...

My white friends really cooked with “Get fucked”

why is there a pride flag for Austro Hungary

Here’s how to find reliable information and keep safe during the summer heat and hurricane season following the unprecedented cuts at federal agencies. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

it would be very funny if they ended up complaining more about Bluesky than the US collapsing into a regressive authoritarian state

Delightful ad.

In what is shaping up to be a huge day for democracy in the lower federal courts, at least, Judge Chutkan rules that the case against DOGE can proceed.
