I’d run competitions to decide what double bills to play, and then occasionally do ones like my Letterboxd lists

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

Maybe I'm in the minority here but if people who support AI are being shamed into silence then it's working. The shame is working as intended. The left's biggest problem is that it's afraid to hurt the feelings of folks who need to have their feelings hurt. Let them experience introspection for once

Technically, they’re Remains now.

NEW: A trove of internal records from Dialog, the secret society cofounded by Peter Thiel, was left exposed online. WIRED obtained a second cache of records that reveal who's really attending, how they're screened, and what personal details they were promised would stay private.

This is bombshell stuff.

How does she expect to be a future President, when she’s doing all she can to lose the Virginia primary?

So nice to see Thiel spend so much money on the Virginia referendum and get nothing from it. It warms the heart.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

This is a momentous story in a lot of ways. One incredible little detail: the Roberts clerk and the Alito clerk who wrote the key memos creating the shadow docket, Joseph Benjamin Tyson III and Barbara S. Grieco, ended up getting married two years later.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

A message from Greenland 🇬🇱

THREAD. Every year, I tell the story of Ezell Gilbert. It's the story of one of the most remarkable cases in U.S. history, and you’ve probably never heard of it. The story of what the U.S. government did to him is vital for understanding the current moment we are in.

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

AOC on a 2028 presidential race against JD Vance: “I would stomp him.”

This AP news story is incredible from front to back but I wanted to flag something super serious and wildly illegal that may have flown under the radar. It’s called parallel construction and it’s when intel is washed from spy agencies and used by local cops. apnews.com/article/immi... 1/

And this is why The Argument getting so much funding as a supposed "left" leaning publication is so ridiculous. They're going to argue for the status quo, not building a better world. What a joke.

This is America.

Anyone else get another propaganda email from the Social Security Administration today? Pathetic.

You won't see this on the news.

I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.

Stunning! An 8-hour time-lapse to show the Earth is rotating while capturing the Milky Way.

one of the reasons the US is an empire in decline is because it could never fully reckon with and reconcile its anti-Black racism. it has destroyed itself because harming itself means that it also harms Black people.

C.E.O. pay increased last year, and the disparity with what employees are paid is the highest since companies began reporting this measure. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/b...
