This Meta ad on optimism for AI and hope for the future is strange for choosing David Bowie’s 5 Years as the song. The song is about the end of the world.

they're all just lying, it is tremendous lying, but it is just lying

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

Before anyone who follows me loses their shit. Plague is endemic in rodents in the Southwest U.S. A handful of Americans get it each year.

Very probably the best photo I've ever taken of a 16th Century dovecote with a cow standing in front of it, surrounded by buttercups, looking like she has just dropped a debut album she is thoroughly proud of.

Of course he got “paid back.” Thats the point of a bribe. Trump didn’t say he paid cash.

CNN@cnn.com

President Donald Trump on Friday claimed his son, Donald Trump Jr., paid back the Russian billionaire who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund parts of Trump Jr.’s wedding celebration in the Bahamas.

A guy who made billions because he created a platform for rich kids to speculate on fake money has thoughts about what are net positives and negatives for the world.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.

What is the best run of three or more consecutive albums by a band or artist?

Great thread!

Literally the only way the global war on terror could have reached its end stage: By the U.S. losing its wars and our president who is the former host of celebrity apprentice gushing over a former member of Al qaeda who now controls a country for being so physically Hot and asking him to do favors

99 year old woman with a hell of a splitter!

Look at that grip! Maybelle Blair, age 99 (she “came out” at 95), threw out the first pitch for LA’s Pride Night yesterday. She’s also good friends with Justine Siegal who’s heading up the new women’s baseball league debuting in August.

🚨If a state is making it harder for your family to vote, why reward them with your talent and your NIL money? I said what I said. You can still make it to the NFL, NBA, or anywhere else without propping up politicians attacking democracy and voting rights.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Breaking my Bluesky silence to point out that Abdul El-Sayed absolutely *is* a physician, he has always been very up front about the fact that he chose public health over residency, and this is a hit piece nothingburger from a news outlet terrified of a politician who is unabashedly pro-Palestinian.

Team McMorrow@teammcmorrow.bsky.social

Turns out Abdul El-Sayed misrepresented, over and over, being a physician. He’s not. The truth? He’s never held a medical license, never did a residency, and never passed his boards.
