Me: Do you think Gritty and Grimace are cousins?

Interviewer: I meant questions about the job

Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

Also, Supreme Court justices should be forced to ride the circuit. On horses. Nasty, mean, bitey horses.

This is like going to a bullfight wearing PETA underoos.

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

It’s not written for utility; David Brooks is the name for an AI get-off-my-lawn slop model created for a steady flow of lightly angering then soothing MSNBC boomers who need it to reconcile the conflicts in their heads between wanting to help and murder their leftist relatives.

i'm no stephen hawking but i think what happens is that they cancel each other out

Simon didn’t say ceasefire

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.

Put that piece of shit on a Windows 98 laptop forever failing to check out a continuous stream of books from a library that no longer exists.

OK, one more, likely doesn’t exist, but yolo: A3 or larger, brainstorming-y, dot grid, luxurious paper

AWESOME

Doctors Puzzled by Sinkhole Derangement Syndrome, suggest handwashing, yoga, high-deductible insurance plans.

Oooh, small lab notebook for kids, at least partially graph-lined, that will feel like something special but not be so nice that it hurts the soul when it inevitably gets mangled and needs to be replaced, thank you!

Unionized ProPublica staff are on strike over AI, layoffs, and wages A key issue is protections against layoffs from AI

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more.

They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom.

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

.@dualipa.bsky.social the end is near and i do not want to die with any regrets, so i have a proposition for you (PLEASE READ *ENTIRE* THREAD WITH AN *OPEN MIND* BEFORE RESPONDING) [1/?]

From now on, before anyone in the U.S. says anything, other countries should ask: "Do you condemn your fascist regime?"

So many people here expect everyone to first condemn X regime to speak about any injustice. Let's see how it feels when the shoe is on the other foot.

We have the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. Now is the time to use it. It's past time for Trump to be removed from office. This is a global crisis. It's time for J.D. Vance and the Cabinet to invoke the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.

I’ve researched the entire history that led to the 25th Amendment and what followed and wrote about all of it nearly a decade ago.

Since then — and, in part, due to its limits and complications — I’ve only called for Section 4 to be invoked on two dates: January 6, 2021, and today.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

does any body want to talk about whether or not things are sandwiches

This is real

(if ever there were a time to share my data with your member of congress, now would be that time)

Post from the head of the AFT: No matter how you feel about AI, its use is growing more widespread and it's important that educators understand how they could integrate it as a tool in their classrooms. Hear from three educators who have been experimenting with AI in this American Educator article ⬇️ http://aft.org/ae/spring2026/leonard_siebenmark_venagro

The opening sentence: "Whether you find AI exciting or frightening, its widespread use—including among students—means we all need to learn how to interact with it responsibly" is so obviously terrible on a pedagogical, political, psychological and basic human level. The @aft.org should be ashamed.

Anti-trans hatred is the very lifeblood of 21st century fascism and we need everyone to wake up to this simple truth before it's too late.

read the context of this, wow

This isn’t the sort of thing that can be smoothed over at the next conference. I do not want to interact with these people again.
