Don't have anything new to say about AI here. One thing I will say is that higher ed has long been broken. If elites had spent more time thinking through the point of education and how well we really do it than stoking woke panic, maybe we wouldn't be staring at this abyss. nymag.com/intelligence...

Susie: [knock, knock]… Mr. President, we have a situation. India and Pakistan are shooting at each other. Trump: Okay. Bring me a map of South America, let’s look at this.

Still laughing at the Australian Conservative Party posting this picture and having their actual human man look more comical than the puppet

Hmm interesting, but did Maine try giving Trump what he wants and getting kicked in the face anyway?

Channeling my inner Chris Traeger today

Stand up to him, get rewarded. Try to placate, he'll just demand more. The way is clear

i can't believe elon is such a piece of shit that he unintentionally radicalized his own AI lmao

9 out of 10 economists agree

this would be so funny if this guy wasn’t president

RIP to a legend

Not surprised. This character sucked too

But I was clearly told that the Capitol is the people's house and visiting it is totally patriotic (especially in January 6).

Going to start a life coaching side gig where I just start each session with "Have you considered being a white man in America?"

Man what in the hell did Shedeur Sanders say in these interviews

Donald Trump keeps losing in court. That's why he's lashing out at judges who go against his authoritarian agenda — even going as far as to have them arrested. His regime is starting to crack bit by bit. Keep up the pressure. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

People sometimes ask "what are the crimes" and let me tell y'all, as a lawyer, that intentionally copying, altering, destroying, or disrupting government computer systems is super-duper illegal if you don't have a spotless paper trail authorizing it, which none of these DOGE people do.

this is a significant and terrifying escalation what the fuck

I'm just gonna come out and say it. Mattress Stores are old news. The new business to launder money is car washes. Seriously they are popping up everywhere. How is there this much of a need for them?

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

NEW: Read the resignation letter of three federal prosecutors who'd worked on the Eric Adams case: "Now, the Department has decided that obedience supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal and ethical obligations in favor of directions from Washington." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

All the hullaballoo about him being a "radical leftist" is going to disappear as if it never happened, and he will never be spoken of again without apologia. Also... I note he was shot, but not killed for "failing to follow instructions" nypost.com/2025/04/18/u...

Me to me:

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.

This is where your Harry Potter money goes

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

Your /r/baseball White Sox power ranking blurb early!

I have a buddy forever now

first they came for the immigrants, and i did not speak up, for i was not an immigrant. then they came for the trans people, and i did not speak up, for i was not trans. then they came for the college protestors, and i did not speak up, for i was not a student. then they came for the stock market

This is one of the best things I've made for myself. Pork tenderloin with a bourbon mustard sauce and simple arugula salad

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

So it turns out the "adults in the room" from Trump's first term were both real, and extremely important.
