We once lived in a world where Ella Fitzgerald and Karen Carpenter sang together. Happy Birthday my Ella.

Hochul said she's open to it if he plows $7B into refurbishing it, something he won't do. It's like the air rifle that you supposedly could get with 10,000 arcade tickets.

This is true in the same way that everybody with an iPhone got a shit U2 album

A little-known section of the papal conclave is the ceremonial 3-against-2 polyrhythmic groove.

Instructive to note that the people who think AI can replace workers are also people who have no idea what productive work looks like. Totally unsurprising that they're bamboozled by a verbally precocious database of garbage.

Ah yes, the government asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews. No way that could go wrong www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...

Barnard really is Columbia’s partner

Reminder that Axios is rightwing trash.

A generation of infants are being born HIV+ today who should have been born HIV-free because one of the principal propagandists of AI bullshit in the world dismantled PEPFAR and USAID.

sorry the pope died but at least he didn’t have to read that kanye tweet like the rest of us.

Phenomenal reporting here from Mr. Banned @bannedmacmahon.bsky.social

Expectations for Tesla quarterly earnings tomorrow? Little need to update your BINGO card I guess, but FSD next year? #TSLA

Even in his last speech, Pope Francis stood up for migrants when others demagogued around them. He will be missed.

I have my problems with any Pope, by definition But you gotta hand it to Papa Francisco for coining the phrase "theirs is the construction site of hell" in a description of American fascism and then dying almost immediately afterward

Also, everything in here is a lie

One idea I have is not turning the country where the putative child would be raised into an authoritarian hellscape. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...

"In one of his final public appearances leading the stations of the cross on Good Friday, Francis [said], “Today’s builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers and that those who fall along the way are losers.

i think paying a foreign country to house people who violate U.S. immigration law is bad

Gavin Newsom, a schmuck who has spent every waking moment the last 10 years of his life thinking about political optics, getting dogwalked by a guy half the country didn't even know existed like 5 days ago

This is the Easter message from the United States to the world. And it’s on all of us.
