If you are a parent and have teens, check to see if their school is allowing TPUSA to set up a club; and make sure your children and their friends know that TPUSA is a cult. They lie, and manipulate. Speaking from personal experience, I spent 10 years in a cult.
Lots of folks curious at finding themselves oddly rooting for a Church — esp. THAT Church, an outfit that deserves its criticisms.
To them I say, ROOT ON!
Not for any Church, but for knowledge, expertise, & consistency over equivocation, bluster & the dipshittery of poseurs.
Such is NEVER a sin.
Polymarket ₩ @Polymarket 22h JUST IN: Amazon will invest $25,000,000,000.00 to build data centers in Mississippi @TukiFromKL do you understand what $25 billion in Mississippi actually means.. the poorest state in America.. $44,966 median income.. 28% of children in poverty.. and Amazon just chose it for data centers. $25 billion for 2,000 jobs. that's $12.5 million per job.. they didn't pick Mississippi to help Mississippi.. they picked it for the cheapest land.. cheapest power.. and the most desperate politicians willing to sign whatever Amazon put in front of them... cotton plantations came for the cheap labor.. factories moved south for the no unions.. now data centers are coming for the cheap electricity and the tax breaks... the product changes every generation.. the extraction doesn't.
Check that fine print #Mississippi...
A frustrating moment in a long struggle: academics & journalists who insist they share your concerns about AI, which is why they want to find a “human-centered” AI. Yes, right after we locate the human-centered nukes. I’m not looking for a better way to work with AI. I know which side I’m on.
Truly a "let them fight" situation.
"Studies suggest youths are more empathetic and less narcissistic than in the past, as well as more open-minded and inclusive."

it's weird to be numb and incandescently angry at the same time
Hey if you're a young adult in the US pay very close attention to the moment because in shockingly few years the popular account of who did or said or supported what right now will be at times unrecognizable. Don't let that break your brain or just you, as a person.
Gentle reminder that if the good people of Minneapolis can risk their lives confronting armed officials who are abusing their power, then so can the politicians we elected to represent our collective voice. Going on vacation is a giant middle finger to all of us, and so cruel to Iranian civilians.
Lol I was about to say exactly this hahaha
A woodcut icon of Jesus, pulling prisoners out through a hole in barbed wire fence. He is standing on crossed gates of hell that read ICE detention
Happy Easter! I’m back! The most important thing I want to share today is this new @benwildflower.com icon, an abolitionist anastasis icon showing Jesus harrowing the Hell of imprisonment, which is BREATHTAKING. (I commissioned this piece.) Proclaim resurrection and liberation, friends!
“He’s unwell,” “he doesn’t belong near power” are as beside the point as “he shouldn’t be allowed to do this.” They’re callbacks to an order that’s been broken. We know fascism is wrong. We must after 10 years move past the part where we keep rediscovering it daily with new shock.
Jesus hitting death over the head with a chair labeled death
Here it is folks, the best Easter meme.
"What the right wants is a camera,but a camera that can be aimed at realities that do not exist. A camera that can show you the world as you have decided it must be, with the unimpeachable authority of the documentary image."
Wow.
Amen.
Esquire couldn’t book this actor for an interview so fed previous responses through a couple of thief machines and ‘interviewed’ a digital photocopy. Including asking personal questions about his dad.
People need to be sued and then fired for this.
i'm an athiest so i don't want to speak for anyone but what an honor it would be as a servant of god to be fired by a drunk sadist under the thumb of a guy best described as "dumb antichrist"
True story: James Madison’s final public act was to warn the 1829 Virginia convention that if they allowed white men who didn’t own property to vote, that they’d all vote to tax rich slaveholders until they were forced to free the people they enslaved.
Just in case you thought any of this was new.
Helena in Focus @sthelenafocus X.com Not only is Jonathan alive and well on St Helena, but during his time on the planet he has now seen off 76 US Attorney Generals, from the 11th Attorney General, Roger Brooke Taney, in 1832, to outgoing 87th Attorney General, Pam Bondi, in 2026. Jonathan is the great survivor.
In case you were wondering: Yes, there is a Jonathan the Great Tortoise angle to the Pam Bondi firing news.
I use AI to do research (i.e., find things to read, explain parts of academic papers I find ambiguous or confusing), transcribe interviews, generate pushback on my column thesis, suggest trims when I'm over my word count, sharpen podcast interview questions, and perform a final fact check on columns and editorials. But mostly it's compressing the ancillary tasks to the main job: reading, thinking, and writing.
One of the least surprising things I have read: Megan McArdle using AI extensively to do all those pesky tasks that she prefers to skip, like “fact checking” and “understanding what she reads.”
✨🎥 NEW – Change-Makers: "Everybody Wants A Village" (Nobody Wants To Be A Villager)
A look at the main reason I see organizations fall apart: a lack of peer support. And how easy it is to give that support 😀 (Many examples from my life that felt good to get into 😅)

Close-up of linocut print. Prisoners gather around Jesus as he leads them out of hell’s earthly manifestation.
Caging and deportations are the devil’s work. Liberation and welcome are what Jesus, the leader of the cosmic jailbreak, invites us to join. Which side are you on?
@Nemzsi thank you black mold. thats a wonderful idea black mold
what people sound like when they say i asked claude
I'm so proud to be in this number 😌
I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you
Surely I have a scientist or nerd following me that can assist with this?
One of the sales pitches of AI in education is that it lightens our load, but I find that it makes so many mistakes and hallucinations that it isn't actually useful in the long run.
I wish everyone could see that LLMs are designed to make you happy and not give you any sort of fact.
For bluegrass and Levi’s 501s and popsicles.
i think i am going to choose to refuse to accept this kind of moral suicide. for spongebob squarepants and all our national heroes. for the new york knickerbockers and the buick grand national. i refuse to surrender that to these freaks and their moral nihilism
