After building the best public education system in the world brought us the Counterculture and the Anti-War Movement, conservatives in the US began a 50+ year assault to destroy public education.
My dad says he saw some kind of early or live footage of that plane on the day that showed some kind of flash headed toward it then quickly cut away, never to be seen again.
I think "Epstein didn't kill himself" still counts as a theory, but it's one that I world be very unsurprised to see confirmed.
Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.
I just... like... I oppose Palantir. I support organizing to do so. But it feels really weird that a group dedicated to fighting a digital surveillance company asks you to sign up with your full name & email (optional postal code!). Like yeah I can give fake info, but man, read the room!
Gamergate (circa 2014) was the tip of the spear for fascism. Watching the slide (not passively, but often feeling pretty powerless and ignored) for over a decade has been fucking wild.
They're taking money from them too.
I could say a lot more about this, but to take it out of the abstract here, the argument he's making is that if Harris had shifted left on Israel, for ex, she would've lost more votes from undecideds in swing states than she'd've gained from the left. I have seen zero evidence to back that claim.
The only way we unfuck our country is through a puritanical anti-corruption drive. We need to rip out a vast substrate of corrupt elites and marginalize an even larger contingent of mere incompetents and cowards.
Ppl need to be terrified of the white-collar criminal laws of the United States again.
Yep. The limits of hard power are a bit more topical lately.
Yeah, I think in both cases the spread was if anything slowed by the fact that early on not everyone who wanted one could afford to buy one. (Also probably some infrastructure issues) I really don't think people would go into debt to use AI the way they would for a car.
OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit
Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here
Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse
Media and universities: AI is here to stay
Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.
Every billionaire who's conspired to violate the law and the Constitution with this regime -- their businesses get nationalized, their assets seized. They lose everything. Literally the rings off their fingers and the watches off their wrists get taken away.
Yeah, it feels a bit silly to say it, but I think "recession indicator discourse" is a recession indicator.
i’m not being mean or anything like congrats to everyone but i met one of these women and how poor and ruined her life was after she freshly fled in her car. her nerves were shot.
she’s one of the people that made this possible, and she’s forgotten and unheard from
One day I want to live in a world that values young women, their autonomy and careers, as equal to that of men.

Friends, @alixhui.bsky.social and I and 70+ historians have been working on this gigantic project for three years and it finally feels like it's going to be real.
It looks like a cheap ass Vegas replica made by a Speer fanboy who saw the Arc de Triomphe once on vacation.
A guy asking ChatGPT to review a series of fart sound effects and getting a serious kiss ass response that calls it atmospheric
I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.
Demand that your Members of Congress vote NO on any legislation that reauthorizes Section 702 without significant reforms to protect us from the authoritarian Trump regime. Democrats must reject the warrantless mass surveillance of American citizens.
It's an account for Atmosphere apps.
It's not a "handle" for the whole "internet".
It's not a "Bluesky" account, a lot of us don't host our account there, and hopefully less will over time.
Atmosphere came from the community, we build as a community.
Don't overcomplicate it.
Atmosphere Account.
Say @robertgarcia.bsky.social? Now that Melania has stated clearly that she was not an Epstein victim, couldn't you (and @rokhanna.bsky.social and Massie) ask DOJ to unredact instances where they have redacted her name?
This is 100% fantasy but... nationalize a few media companies and start putting out actual news?
In Canada we actually got assigned the Communist Manifesto. Which is entirely reasonable for a college history class imo, but it's really weird how different things are sometimes.
Last June, the man credited with introducing President Trump to his wife asked the administration for a favor. Paolo Zampolli, a former modeling agent turned presidential special envoy, had learned that his Brazilian ex-girlfriend was in a Miami jail, arrested on charges of fraud at her workplace. They had been in a custody battle over their teenage son. Now he saw an opportunity. He reached out to a top official at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, explaining that his ex was in the country illegally, according to records obtained by The New York Times and a person familiar with the communications. Could she be put in ICE detention? That could help him get his son back. The official, David Venturella, promptly called the agency’s Miami office to ensure that ICE agents would pick up the woman from the jail before she was released on bail, according to the records and a person with knowledge of the conversation who requested anonymity to discuss it. During the call, Mr. Venturella noted that the case was important to someone close to the White House.
Oh.
Holy hell please let this be the reason Melania ran to the press: the guy who imported her, Einstein visa and all, used ICE to deport the mother of his child.
Zampolli was in Hungary w/JD.

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
Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel.
King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.
BENEFICIARIES of race laws?!
