If only there was an Arab who knew about algebra or algorithms

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I feel like we’re glossing one big reason to have Obama out there mixing it up. It’s because Trump’s going to try to run in 2028, and if SCOTUS tells him he can, then so can Obama. And head-to-head, Obama would beat Trump like a rented rug.

Please don't make the hat a thing in the US. I know Hat Guys here and I don't want any of them in any position of authority.

mfers out here like "no I'm not neurodivergent haha I just have an exceptionally flat affect and a typey laugh and am known as a notoriously rigid thinker and terribly socially awkward and am so AI-pilled I need an agent to come up with three adjectives for my own child"

The thing that is exciting me most about Lula winning after mayors tried bringing their cities to a halt to stop turnout is ** mfers are going to go to jail over this ** and that's something we need to bookmark for later

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

the handful of die-hard anti-trans voters that exist are going to vote GOP no matter what. so this ad will not pick up a single new voter. all it does is further disenfranchise trans ppl – a marginalized group MAGA hates. this is a pro-MAGA ad & Turek is furthering MAGA's cause by airing it

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Tonight I'll be nervously watching the contest between a stunned, wobbling incumbent and the horrible, nepotistic byproduct of a former winner, reliving former glories for the pleasure of racist fanatics I'm referring, of course, to the Seahawks/Chiefs game

I feel like Gen X and Gen X ONLY received meaningful media literacy education. Like they taught us to spot bullshit, and we were so good at it we went, "so THAT'S bullshit, THAT's bullshit..." and they realized it wasn't good for business so they stopped teaching it, and now people hate us for it.

Like NO BETSY THEY DON'T MAKE DONUT-SHAPED SHRIMP, THAT'S AI. NO TAYLOR THE DEMOCRATS DON'T VOTE ON WEDNESDAY, THAT'S A JIM CROW-ERA SUPPRESSION TECHNIQUE. JIM CROW IS—

We should call him Sunny D because he's sundowning and thirsty

In case you’re wondering what the Outkick guy is up to with the Finals credential WNBA PR gave him: He saw two WNBA PR employees sitting at their desks during the national anthem and posted their photo to Twitter and has followed up with additional posts attempting to dox them

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

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"

"Don't believe women claiming abuse with witnesses" is a hell of a closing argument. Think the GOP is about to underperform its polling on women by a couple more points.

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

CHOMP UPDATE: I have fed Chomp a red mole enchilada. He’s kind of groggy. I think the odds of him eating me today are exceedingly low. I think it was the homemade queso fresco that really put it over the top this time.

These dorks who are like "AI music is great, it just plays what you like" I don't want music I already like. I want music that goes with other music. Stuff I MIGHT like. I want entropy. If you don't get that then eat your fuckin Kraft mac & cheese and leave the rest of us the fuck alone.

Me: hey, where do you get your queso fresco? Mexico: get? what’s to get, you make it Me: you MAKE it? how? Mexico: milk, heat, acid, salt. queso fresco Me: … Mexico: … Me: WHAT

"Typical journalistic malpractice by NYT, who REFUSE to refer to me by my married name, Ghislaine Incognito"

emptywheel@emptywheel.bsky.social

Alina Mildon--more commonly known as Alina Habba--got 174K people to read her complaints about a story on her corruption, complaints that include the fact that NYT used Habba in the headline, from her Xitter acocunt in the name of Alina Habba.

Ramaswamy is a cautionary tale because no matter how cruel he shows himself to be, no matter how hateful, no matter how faithfully he performs their rituals, he'll never be part of the MAGA inner circle because he's too brown.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

Wow. Vivek Ramaswamy admits he was responsible for the despicable attack ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother.

He says this in a stump speech and he gets laughs around the "fire a weapon" part, but it's actually a thing that needs to be said, because it's a technology that exists, because this is a dark-ass timeline

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social

AI shouldn't be able to fire you, fire a weapon, or deny you healthcare.

i keep hearing there is "infinity money" for organizations that want to work on "AI safety" but i can tell you that none of it is going to the organizations that have been working to address AI harms for years. we are all fighting over scraps while new orgs spring up over night with giant budgets

The jets operate for five seconds. FIVE. Total. Then the tanks take SIX HOURS to refill. And they occupy an ungodly amount of space, ON TOP of the 800kg of battery. Can you all recognize this was a parlor trick and move on?

If the flying Tesla Roadster does become available to the American buyer, there will be a host of issues to address.

I love that the Cowboys are actually getting the experience of getting their teeth knocked in, but part of it is only a simulation because of how many flags Green Bay is getting to nullify INTs, etc. So they have to keep playing even though it's hopeless.
