Yes, the fact that I'm attending the White House Correspondents Dinner might SEEM like a supine gesture of complete deference to the insane dullard who demands total obedience from the press, BUT that's until you see the secret message I have on my pocket square
When you call a principled stand virtual signaling, you might be the problem.
a lot of men never recovered from women being able to have jobs and demand fair treatment and have been waiting for any opportunity to punish them for it
We are so far beyond even Teapot Dome levels of "government captured by private industry" in this country, and Democrats genuinely seem to believe their unpopularity is driven by being too nice to trans people, instead of being driven by their screamingly obvious hypocrisy about this.
Cenk’s smart enough to know that “Patriots versus Israelis” is just Die Volk versus Die Juden rephrased and that makes doing it unforgivable. It’s a play for the Fuentes set, and that he feels the need to go after that group to make money and gain followers should tell you something’s rotten.
Sesame Street v @sesamestreet X.com The word of the day is HABIBI! Happy #ArabAmericanHeritageMonth from Ramy Youssef, Elmo, and all of your friends on Sesame Street! screenshot of elmo asking: Mr. Ramy, what does salamu alaykum mean? 9:10 AM • 4/16/26
i love sesame street so much for not wavering on the values so many of us grew up learning from that show & yes the replies are the dumpster fire klan rally you’d expect them to be on there (like i have yet to find even a remotely funny one)
Hegseth saying “The Pharisee Press” should be a fully mask off moment. He is saying “The Jewish Press”. But Christians of all political stripes are so devoted to using Pharisees as a rhetorical prop that liberal Christians regularly insist it’s totally fine, no matter how many Jews try to explain.
Not everything that breaks is technically the fault of vibe coding but the kind of culture that would foster vibe coding is the kind that produces a lot of shit that breaks.

it really is such a shame Google destroyed Google search
Why do we even bother with endnotes--this is my personal pet peeve as a historian, I need to read the spicy, sassy, whiny footnotes immediately
Former Syracuse basketball player to be deported after more than a month in ICE custody
26 years old from South Sudan. He has been in the US since age 13, when he was recruited to the country for basketball.
Now being discarded as if he was human refuse.
Shame on Syracuse for not intervening.

Update: according to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, 763 schools have been bombed since the war started.
Kendra, I genuinely don't remember when or how, but someone in the Roswell fandom found a way to add the original music to the DVD rips. (I have all the files... They're huge or I'd share them with you/the world!)
I absolutely couldn't watch it without the original music.
This is freaky! I just finished a whole rewatch. That show was my first fandom.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses
Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.
Quite the week for the president of the United States on Truth Social.
Sunday: "Praise be to Allah!"
Tuesday: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."
Thursday: [video of a woman being murdered]
While many are quick to declare the crisis over, the working poor are still being crushed under the load the well off are putting on them
One of the most brazenly corrupt events in history will take place tomorrow when Jared Kushner represents the U.S. in critical negotiations with Iran to end the war while he accepts millions in fees (and billions in investments) from the Saudi gov’t which has been lobbying Trump to continue the war
Verso and Pluto Books do this and it's the best.

your reminder that Ro Khanna spends his India visits palling around with literal nazis and supremacists and takes money from organisations affiliated with them for his political career and then comes and cries about the state of democracy in the USA for cameras
a truly stupendous amount of this is Israel’s fault *but* there is going to be growing horseshoe pressure to claim that it is *all* Israel’s fault and I don’t think that’s true
Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon.
You are being lied to
Even if Trump is "bluffing," the US may never come back from this. Whether you voted for him or not, the rest of the world sees this guy as our collective will. To everyone else, we are a landmass teeming with viciousness. We have a very high bar to prove that's not true.
Congress is so funny. The world could be blown to smithereens and half of them would be like not sure this is a kitchen table issue.
