Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

Age verification bills are bad, actually. The government shouldn't be doing this. Parents should, you know, parent.

Pentagon To Host Good Friday Service Just For Protestants, Not Catholics

NEW: The Pentagon today invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel.

Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics. www.huffpost.com/entry/news-l...

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

“Vice President JD Vance thinks aliens are visiting earth and that they are Demons” is the most “I wish Carl Sagan were alive” moment I’ve had in a while.

Finger on the pulse

The airport perks for Congress may be drying up, not a minute too soon Delta Airlines suspends its special congressional service, while a Senate bill could end the line-skipping perk for members of Congress.

BREAKING: Delta is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded, per @ajc.com.

Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers.

Kids, did you know that before the internet, it was highly unusual to see a real person die on video?

They used to have urban legends about it, they called them "snuff films." Now we get autoplay videos of exploded soldiers and bloody mass shooting victims beamed right to our pockets.

coates also did it without carlson's barely contained cauldron of antisemitism roiling underneath it

kobey layne is a long shot candidate for governor challenging amy klobuchar as a progresssive. sd62 are into her speech

Respect for @paulference.bsky.social and & Kobey Layne for running for MN governor from the left. Mayor Her responded to “AIPAC Amy” cries at #sd62dfl convention by saying folks could vote for other nominees - these folks offer a choice.

Just to be clear, Tucker Carlson has:

- repeatedly advocated for the racist Great Replacement Theory
- called Iraqis “semi literate primitive monkeys”
- said it’s ok for 27-year-olds to marry 16-year-olds
- framed trans people as inherently violent
- defended a man who killed a BLM protester

OK, this Tucker Carlson impression on Saturday Night Live last night is uncanny! Has all the verbal tics and go-to phrases down, and nails the high-pitch cackle.

The policy of home demolitions in the West Bank is escalating. Israeli forces blew up the home of the Abu Ihlayel family in Hebron.

minneapolis city council member jason chavez saw hennepin county sheriff’s office doing crowd control enabling ICE to kidnap latino neighbors. “if we don’t like when ICE pepper sprays or throws gas bombs, why should we support local law enforcement doing those same tactics?”

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
