Find someone who loves you the way that people who never served in the military and who won’t be affected by a draft love calling for mandatory federal service.

If AI were going to replace 20% of jobs in *two years*, then we’d be seeing massive, widespread, and effective AI rollouts across the economy today.

But we’re not. We’re mostly seeing annoying chatbots that nobody likes and baubles that don’t actually replace labor at all.

Ten years ago, the CEO of Lyft said that half of all rideshare trips would be carried out by autonomous vehicles in five years.

Instead of mandatory service for military-age males, let’s draft billionaires to serve as experimental submarine ballast after we nationalize their assets.

Giving a lifetime achievement award to a 33 year old is objectively hilarious

Feels important to uplift Rep Pressley's leadership. She puts in a lot of work on issues that others often don't see as a priority. I've appreciated her anti-criminalization work over the years. She's a worker.

I could teach a course called “All Your Other Classes are Bullshit” at the Harvard Divinity School.

Paul Krugman has a literal Nobel Prize in Economics and was given equal tank with Thomas Friedman’s international taxicab confessions.

If you look into the actual qualifications of this cast of long-time NYT columnists like Douthit, Dowd, Stephens, and Tom Friedman, and the truth is that they have none aside from writing columns in other places.

These aren’t top minds or experts in anything. They’re OG clickbait writers.

Trump truth social post with an AI slop image of him as Jesus healing Jon Stewart while a bunch of white losers look on and pray to him to refund their Trump coin investments

Not just blasphemy, but AI slop blasphemy.

Real loser blasphemy.

It’s been long proven that antisemitism has been a singularly dangerous form of virulent bigotry because of how it historically operates as a gateway to other hatreds and lunacies.

I think we’re to the point where we need to add transphobia to the list of S-tier society killers.

I'm not coming for anyone's identity, I'm just saying that for every ostensibly straight man, there's gotta be at least one guy out there who'd make him question things. And so on...

People are hot!

My most vibes-based opinion is that most humans are at least a little bisexual and the world would way less plagued by toxic masculinity if we'd just be normal about it.

The shoes might be my deal breaker

Good colors! Yes.

Voter turnout in Hungary shatters democratic records POLITICO’s Poll of Polls projects a comfortable lead for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s challenger, Péter Magyar, and his center-right Tisza party.

Didn’t save the alt text 😒

Not the most important thing about this election to oust Orbán, but Magyar is the Hungarian word for Hungarian, so Péter Magyar running for PM is like if Tim America ran for POTUS.

A professor in one of my MFA courses tried to make us use an AI video tool for a quick mid-lecture exercise and the class *revolted*

The fashion kids are all right.

I swear I’ve had to look up whether Swalwell was a Republican or Democrat like five times over the years because he’s always had Republican car dealer aura.

I guess I really was picking up on something.

I'm going to have a nightmare about this.

The Project Runway designers await their next challenge. Heidi enters, "hello designers, today we have a guest to tell you about your challenge. Please welcome Bob from Microsoft"

"Today you'll be using Copilot AI to design prints for your fabric…"

Ok on a serious note, it cannot be exaggerated how bad formalized Iranian control of the Strait is for the world. The entire global economy rests on an American guarantee of free commercial shipping. That guarantee is gone. We don’t know exactly what will happen but none of it will be good.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Brutal.

The next Democratic government needs to burn across America like a cleansing fire. It’s time to finish Reconstruction once and for all.

America has lost plenty of wars, but never this quickly.

There is nothing Trump can do to “win” this war. We already lost. The economy’s f’ed. It’ll take years to rebuild destroyed infrastructure. Our allies hate us. The world hates us.

Trump’s foreign policy has transformed America into the planet’s sole supervillain.
