AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

the other thing is that conservatives resolutely do not see the purpose of education as providing social mobility but as reifying and deepening existing inequalities of status. they are as hostile to low income students getting admission to elite institutions as they are black ones.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

WATCH: “Did you go to public schools? Did you drive here on roads?” 🔥 @abdulelsayed.bsky.social expertly handles Fox propagandist martha maccallum’s fearmongering about socialism (From @acyn.bsky.social )

What other evil group did we fight in the 1940s?

Homey looks like he just opened the Ark of the Covenant.

Somehow, there’s always money for another tax break for billionaires and there’s never enough money when a rural family needs a hospital, a doctor, or a safe place to deliver a child. I’m sick of it. And I know Mainers are too. We can change it together.

Maybe don't feed your unpublished research into the plagiarism nexus?

the most dudes rock thing i have seen i a minute. also yes this is what my algo serves me

"Is he even in this thing?"

Does it ever feel like you're in a cage being watched? Well, you are. By Flock cameras, thanks to Mike Rogers.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

A central part of why it seems like powerful, rich people live in a consequence-free world is that the social incentives to hold them to account have withered. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar... 𝟏𝟐-𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞-𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬

Jack Smith: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime"

Scammers, consider this your red card. Report false advertising and deceptive business practices at nyc.gov/DCWP. This World Cup, everyone plays by the rules.

I think the MAGA political calculus is that they can cut anti-terrorism units because if a terror attack were to occur, it would benefit Trump like 9/11 did for George W. Bush. Trump is absolutely craven. www.cnn.com/2026/06/22/p...

Made some points today, even the little guy was getting in to it. (Disregard my pale, whispy legs)

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

"Let's me ask my manager if we can throw in that undercoat for $350.00"

Starbucks out of whole milk... "To arms fellow Americans!"

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

Someone at a party told me, "AOC is stupid." I replied, "You really need to stop watching Fox. It's turning your brain into porridge. I've listened to AOC question witnesses in House hearings, and she is better at cross-examination than most top-tier trial attorneys." I then found better company.

Palladin, rogue, ranger, wizard, fighter, and druid.

A mustachioed curmudgeon in his natural environment...

Absolutely! Two can play at this game.

Bri is also my dear friend and I am displeased to see how low this gfm is, please help her out if you’re able.

"Personnel"

Unsure why I experienced a tremendous spike in productivity today...

Absolutely the right thing to do. The marginal tax increase for the target property owners is still insignificant compared to the benefits they still get from the property and the value they get from having a safer and healthier city.

DOGE turbocharged the deficit. budgetlab.yale.edu/research/wea...

Nobody tell 'em...

Obsidian is an inferior material to chert for projectile points and is terrible to work with.

"Personalized pricing" is just information asymmetry in a bow tie.

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got plan to ban it.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Is this fascism yet?

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

They could’ve funded ACA subsidies for a full year. Instead, they burned $24B in 16 days and risked decades of terrorist blowback on U.S. soil.

it's cool when a legal thing happens because lawyers will quote a transcript with HOLY SHIT THE JUDGE BODIED HIM and the transcript will be like "there appear to be irregularities in counsel's filing"

Things I have said to my toddler...

Jesus. F*cking. Christ.

Using the draw knife on an oak stave to make a bow, plus a photobomb from the middle kid.

In a nation ruled by supremacy and all its many sabotages of the public good, every act of repair is a defiant act. *Every* act of repair is a defiant act.
