ZOHRAN MAMDANI: "It is sad that for too many Americans when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, they have to turn to a history book."

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.
Kinda amazing that the right has, like, NO good public speakers.
I wish people would stop conflating "social media" with algorithmic content feeds.
Claiming that social media is harmful to kids (or anyone else) is as nonsensical as saying "hanging out with your friends is harmful for you" and I think it deserves way more pushback.
"SD har länge avfärdat fakta som åsikter och använder själva åsikter som om de vore fakta. Det är bara ett av skälen att de är ovärdiga som samarbetsparti. Regeringsföreträdare hävdar att SD har förändrats. Men det är övertydligt att det är precis tvärtom."
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
I too aspire to have an API limit and for you to either pay me more to keep working, or wait until after I've had a nap
It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.
Beställde ut de data Schibsted lagrat om mig och får till min förvåning ut en lista (!) över artiklar jag läst i inloggat läge. Ännu ett skäl att neka cookies. Dessvärre tar SvD numera betalt för att läsarna ska kunna neka datalagring, så framöver kommer jag läsa andra tidningar.

Today's Famous Person with a Cat: Peter Magyar
Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog A weird thing is that whenever I post criticism of Al, the majority of the people agreeing with me seem to be leftists. It's pretty much the only position I hold that seems to be more popular with the left than the right. It should be the opposite. My whole point about Al (especially Al in creative fields) is that it isn't human, it doesn't have a soul, and we cannot surrender our society to an unhuman soulless algorithm even if it makes our lives easier in some ways. It's very strange that an argument predicated on the existence of the soul resonates with the left while conservatives tend to scoff at it. 3:02 PM • Mar 12, 2026 • 748.5K Views
"for unknown reasons, my mortal enemies appear to be concerned with the core essence of humanity in a way that my allies are not. oh well, better not think about it too hard."
This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Science is good. We should fund it.
Pick the wrong answer and Tim Cook dispatches the Cupertino police to raid your house.
Games like darts, billiards, bowling and chess completely give away what's going on.
The ONLY reason to segregate these sports by sex in the first place is because men cannot emotionally handle losing to women.
The ONLY reason to lock out trans people is bigotry.
