I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

That's when things get dangerous: when aristocrats grow bored with leisure and mobilize their inherited capital to change the way we all live. Billionaire dilettantes are weapons of mass destruction, and their special projects have a wide blast radius and inflict a *lot* of collateral damage. 33/

If fresh, uncooked food becomes dangerous, then safely feeding yourself and your family becomes more expensive in terms of both effort and money. Food safety deregulation is a mass weapon of class war.

Re: popcorn Have we thought of the nature of air-filled, exploded kernels and tried to find a meaningful metaphor? The guy at work who administers sso, but who doesn't like foreign films and tried a ukulele once at a party, but then was rejected by the woman who trained the LLM? Is he...?

Peter Sellers could have revealed himself as a god, but what would have been the point? These are the post-midnight truths that I hint at, to the humanity.

Thinking about gradually getting weirder each month until eventually I smell like purple, and I'm loud like the vastness of space. The ether. Empty but full. You know?

I've been drinking 7 & 7's (per my husband: 7 X 7's) and watching Enola Holmes, so there is a wide path for regret of various kinds.

As America marks 250 years, may we recommit to building a diverse democracy, an economy that works for the many and not just the few, and a future where every generation has the opportunity to live a dignified life. Happy 4th of July!

Lily Tomlin. My husband would 100% back me up on this. If Lily Tomlin weren't available, then Steve Martin.

I really feel like even a moderate increase in investment in our educational system would yield truly exponential benefits. Even if it means I never have to read stories like this ever, ever again.

Oh ffs.🙄 Kylie Jane Kremer, the permit holder for the Jan. 6 rally before the Capitol attack, claimed someone with an "extreme case" of TDS "geoengineered" the hot weather in D.C. today. She pointed to the cold at Trump's inauguration as proof of the same plot. www.rawstory.com/trump-weathe...

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

I don't know if you've heard but the Catholic Church officially has a schism! Go read @clairewillett.bsky.so 's feed, where she covers everything from the excommunication of the St. Pius X members to Mel Gibson's current religious status. Honestly, I'm out of breath from the whole thing.

BIG NEWS: Governor Newsom signed a first-in-the-nation executive order to help California explore safeguards related to AI-driven job displacement. California can lead on innovation while making sure workers, women, families, and communities are not left behind.

Are we sure he doesn't just keep a starling in his pocket?

RFK Jr caught a starling at the Dulles Airport today. I don’t want to know what happened after.

Assume AI training for K-12 is a good idea. Schiff's bill, the LIFT AI Act, is a grant program for the National Science Foundation. The NSF has no director. The nominee is a Thiel acolyte with no science degrees. Trump just fired the entire Board that oversees NSF. No. Absolutely not.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov

AI is reshaping industries and our economy, and it’s crucial that young people and our workforce are equipped to succeed in this landscape. Proud to introduce a bipartisan bill with Sen. Rounds to ensure students and educators have the resources they need to harness the power of AI.

1. "Is this wise or advisable..." shld be a thing people can ask. 2. Luring men for info is a strategy. Using a specific app in an undercover, coordinated way to gain intelligence is a tactic. 3. A piece on coordinated tactics used to gain govt info from feds, on the ok of one friend is wild to me.

“Don’t tell random women operational details” isn’t something that ICE needed to learn from me. They knew it. They just can’t help but do it because dudes everywhere, forever, are the same.
