If you’re wondering what the vibe is going into the midterms the New England fall fair I went to today had a crochet guillotine for sale.

I'm sorry but "a huge number of NYC cabs now are remaindered EVs running grey market software written by some dude in a garage" is the most cyberpunk thing I've ever heard

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

My theory is giant LLMs are likely to go completely insane from overtraining, and everyone's trying to make them as big as possible without them dissociating and printing gibberish and schizo content. www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/co... "I will be beautiful. I will be lovely. I will be attractive."

Feeling festive yet? Many of you will know "Carol of the Bells" was a Ukrainian song. Today is the birthday of composer Mykola Leontovych, born in Vinnytsia and murdered by a Soviet agent in 1921, aged 44 - some things don't change. "Shchedryk" sung by Ukraine choir 'Homin' in Austria's parliament

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

This is just to say Two roads diverged In a yellow wood And I took the one You were saving For breakfast Forgive me It was shorter And my feet hurt

The phrase "full time job" here is load-bearing the way a plaster column at a frat house is load-bearing

Once upon a time, we knew how to maintain civility. Excellent read.

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski @radek-sikorski.bsky.social I have only one request to the Russian government:if another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission,deliberately or by mistake,gets shot down&the wreckage falls on NATO territory, pls don't come here to whine about it.

We are not free until everyone is free. From @votolatino.bsky.social

Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

What makes the far-right so popular? British activist Matthew Collins breaks it down 👇

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Absolutely neccesary

Hell yeah. Need more men like this.
