Joy and gratitude for being picked to be that special girl allowed to cut the life support for hungry children. They should make a Hallmark movie about it.

I'm a big Claude fan, and it's awesome to see them launch a Claude for Nonprofits program www.anthropic.com/news/claude-...

Hey, another fave localish band! Now listening to jangly pop "Fool" — and love the "Cover art courtesy of the family of Siona Tagger www.tagger-siona.co.il/en/

"The legitimate struggle for Palestinian rights, the necessary opposition to the current Israeli government’s callous and self-defeating policies.. has been hijacked by an international movement poisoned by violence and hatred." forward.com/opinion/7224...

Tell us Max, what antisemitism should we NOT be concerned about?

“The Aristocrats!”

"That Mr. Musk has come to hold so many of the same beliefs about social engineering and economic planning as his grandfather is a testament to his profound lack of political imagination, to the tenacity of technocracy and to the hubris of Silicon Valley."

We're working hard to re-launch K'lal as a technology and cybersecurity hub for the Jewish community. Tech thought leadership, cybersecurity strategies, knowledgebase of best practices — all tailored to Jewish communal needs. I couldn’t be more excited. klal.tech

From @nytimes.com + J. David Goodman: Trump’s Fight Against Antisemitism Has Become Fraught for Many Jews - American Jews have watched with both alarm and enthusiasm as strong-arm tactics, including arrests of activists, have been deployed in their name. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

Outro is forming a new haute cuisine dining experience in a hip Toronto neighborhood and has JUST been cast in a prestige HBO series.

We categorically deny Jeffrey Golberg's report that he was accidentally added to the band chat, and any suggestion that we are planning to rehearse new songs on Thursday is FALSE.

Dr. Bill Cassidy, you could have stopped this. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/h...

Those who know me know I was highly critical of what I saw as some of the rhetorical excesses of the campus protests. Khalil and I wld probably get into a spat immediately. It's all the more important for people who believe as I do to say clearly, the protections of the law are for everyone.

I don't take a back seat to anyone on the subject of anti-semitism. Jews are being used here as a fig leaf to advance a broader attack on universities and higher learning. Trump wants to bring Universities to heel and obedience. Jews are just a convenient cudgel here and just as disposable.

Patricia Bauman died a year ago. ActBlue is a payment processor. Almost anyone who’s given to a D candidate in the last 20 years could be mischaracterized as a “ActBlue funder.” Listing five Jews, two of whom are long dead, as “ActBlue funders” secretly behind the Tesla protests is antisemitism.

Track One of the playlist here is Track One of the Broken Promise EP... and let me just say we are amped to be leading the charge for this crowd of serious rockers.

congratulations to No Other Land, which may be the first film to win a major Oscar but not theatrical distribution.

The thing that everyone thinks is nuts, but I absolutely think would work: a presentation that looked like an Apple keynote product launch, but for all the cool shit that the government makes for people. Cancer treatments, national parks, space discoveries, free tax filing, cool new airports.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

People need to understand that we are in an entirely new paradigm. It is now Russia the US against Ukraine and Europe. This is not a shift in US policy, it is a transformation of what kind of country the United States is in the world

Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

there really ought to be more discussion about the fact that virtually every promise (or denial) trump made during the campaign was a total lie

We’re witnessing a Brexit-level instance of completely unnecessary economic destruction. A country that’s not hit by any shock, but simply chooses policy self-harm.

The title word of "Fool," the opening track on our new EP, is sung in four-part harmony, by the four members of the band. @rosyoverdrive.com called it 'impossibly cool-sounding' and 'one of the best things I've heard so far this year, easily.' No arguments here. outro-band.bandcamp.com/track/fool

Hey #running people, who runs with an Apple Watch (Ultra or regular)? Do you do marathon training with it? How do you like it?

Instead of quickly posting the usual hot takes and takedowns, people should actually read this piece and sit with it for a bit.

"'My 15-year-old was screamed ‘heil Hitler’ to her face, with the Nazi salute ... we were stopped on the street by some woman screaming that ‘Hitler should have finished you all',' she said." www.sbs.com.au/language/eng...

I’m just on BlueSky these days to see what everyone got in their Chase Bliss Mystery Box.

a taste of what's to come

we're cooked

Regimes seem solid until they are not. Every resistance act matters because often regimes are crumbling from within from corruption and yet good at hiding that fact. cc: Russia

New map from @thomasvlinge.bsky.social. Oppo forces in green, Assad forces in red. Assad is running out of places for his guys to hide.

Anyone out there have recommended vendors for quality band stickers and other merch? #music

Hey, can you read this thread?

This Rig Rundown of Idles' guitar rigs is pure and absolute #guitarpedals porn and it's the best www.youtube.com/watch?v=bysQ...

Where are all of my #guitarpedals people?

The top 6 stories on the NYT right now are on Biden pardon. This is the seventh story. These people are fucking insane. Prosecuting journalists is below 6 other Hunter Biden stories.

End the war. Bring home the hostages. Remove the government of failure.

No.

What is hurting men, especially white men, is being brought up to believe you're born smarter and better. And then discovering that's not true. And flipping out and/or checking out, instead of welcoming the opportunity to have to prove yourself like women have to.
