snapchat just announced its answer to Zuckerturd's creep-o-vision meta glasses. $2,180 to look like a snap perv. This is a win for those of us who find this vein of surveillance tech products to be deeply disturbing but must continue to exist near people who have them. These'll be hard to miss.

LOL, the Trump admin just shut down the newest Claude model for *everyone* because Anthropic has no way to ensure it can't be accessed by foreign nationals in the U.S. Wouldn't surprise me if the underlying cause was Elon Musk telling Stephen Miller to do this because nobody wants to use Grok.

This is from this month, the year is 2026, and this just happened in broad daylight in Chicago full of Flock cameras and what a shock the CPD hasn't IDed the kkkulprit.

1/ I have to correct some misinformation here. The stakes are too high. We aren’t going bankrupt. It's a totally unfounded and incendiary suggestion, especially for a news outlet to make. Also, they’re fundraising for themselves off of our bruises? Oof. Mercenary in the guise of being supportive.

these people truly hate us

I’m very excited for this! On a summer evening in 1972, a pivotal generation of Harlem Renaissance legends gathered at Duke Ellington’s townhouse. The trailer for “Once Upon a Time in Harlem” is out:

President Trump had 22 medical specialists assess him as part of his latest checkup, according to a medical report recently released by the White House, who also declined to identify which physicians assessed him.

These fuckers came for fountain pens with SEO-heavy AI slop. Now they're coming for birds, again with AI slop attributed to an author who doesn't exist? This is personal.

More than 92,000 people are no longer getting Affordable Care Act health insurance in Illinois, including a majority who were dropped because they didn’t pay their monthly premiums, according to new state data.

I have a moral obligation to repost this every time raw milk is in the news.

Memes are our ancient texts. Future scholars, yes this is accurate and yes, Americans of means do nothing about our government's violent actions.

BLUMENTHAL: Who won the 2020 election? TRAYNOR: This issue has become a question of political controversy B: It's 'political controversy' only because Trump refuses to accept the results T: It is not appropriate to engage in discussion regarding that B: So you're going to use the same script

NASA isn’t on Bluesky but they are on Threads and they put out a statement about the selection of an all-male #Artemis III crew.

When the Artemis program was first announced, the claim, all over the website, was that the landing mission (which has since been shifted from III to IV) would include "the first woman and the first person of color" to walk on the Moon. Last year, that language was deleted from the NASA site.

INVESTIGATION: 🚨 A Polymarket exec used a personal PayPal account to pay major political influencers like Riley Gaines and Brian Krassenstein, who then hyped how "accurate" Polymarket is at predicting outcomes. We uncovered $350,000+ flowing to influencers this way www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

Polymarket offered me enough money to pay my rent for ten months for one post in my newsletter and I turned it down because I enjoy being able to sleep at night.

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up
