Zach Bryan and his band walked into Robert Kraft’s Gillette Stadium wearing “Free Palestine” shirts tonight. I love the chutzpah…as they say.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

PSA: The Trump administration changed the form used to register and request absentee ballots, removing the checkbox for US citizens who have never lived in the US(even though some are eligible to vote under state law). The change could block eligible voters and was made without proper public notice.

I wanted to support Claude hoping its technology would help with cures, sustainability, the environment, and reducing inequities—but now I’m confused. Anthropic executives tried to get the Vatican to change “Magnifica Humanitas” so it wouldn’t deny AI personhood. WTF?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I’m pretty sure that if the Cornell 7 had said “Free Palestine” instead of “Free P****,” they would have already been expelled.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Prison is my second choice for the Cornell 7 and their accomplices. I’d rather drop them in the middle of the Congo Basin w/only the clothes on their backs. They’ll experience nature in a uniquely interesting way—and we’ll never hear from them again, I mean, since satellite phones don’t work there.

May the Cornell 7 never know peace. I hope every coward who covered for, enabled, or protected those degenerates choke on the karma they’ve earned. College is where rapists learn they can act with institutional cover.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ It’s why we’ll always choose the bear.

The real tragedy isn’t the diesel costs. It’s watching people who spent years calling other people ‘takers’ become professional takers the moment their own costs go up. NO BAILOUTS FOR FARMERS! NO BAILOUTS FOR TRUCKERS!

BREAKING: A federal judge just said that Trump's order barring MS NOW, CNN, and Politico from the White House was likely unconstitutional and ordered the administration to immediately restore access to the three news outlets.

My grandfather explained to me that your character determines your decisions, and the outcomes of your life are based upon the quiet integrity of those choices—revealing, in the end, not what fate handed you, but who you chose to become.

EIGHT sailors from the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group attempted suicide during the extended deployment that included combat operations against Iran, according to a letter from Hung Cao. Hegseth appears to have been more focused on photo-op push-ups and haircut inspections, I believe.

My kids have measles, I can't afford gas, my country has been humiliated by Iran, and our senile rapist president is going to allow unregulated AI to destroy our civilization. But a lesbian bar in a town I've never heard of still has a mask mandate. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I’m eating my first meal of the day at 8:30pm. (Chicken burger, sweet potatoes, and broccolini.) I also had 5 iced lattes today. Your girl is stressed from school and it’s not like I’m sleeping more than three hours. I’ve lost 2lbs too. Stress has some benefits! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Presley Gerber had every opportunity in life to get better and heal himself, but he continuously chose the opposite. How are you overdosing in REHAB? Make it make sense. I’m sorry, but this is on him. What a waste of privilege.

Ed Sheeran’s tour is over. This is the direct consequence of having no backbone, clear morality, or honor. Finneas, Aaron Rowe, and Beoga have all dropped out today. Standing with the Palestinian people shouldn’t require this much courage, but I’m very glad millions still do so.

I find it fascinating and quite revealing that some Jewish people become “victims,” filled with irrational “fear” from WORDS and a PIECE OF CLOTH, while actual Palestinians live in absolute terror every minute of the day. The disconnect is something else.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I support Macklemore. Consumers have the ultimate control: refund your tickets, petition other artists to not perform in those stadiums, and withdraw support from anything affiliated with Robert Kraft. Free speech seems to be silenced only when Israel or Jews are offended.

Today, we need only to pause long enough to feel the weight of what was lost, and to honor it without turning away. In the stillness, we remember that these lives mattered completely, and that their ending does not diminish their meaning. I will always love my beautiful city. September 11th…

It’s amazing how I, a student who wasn’t even born when 9/11 happened, took a one-hour flight from school this evening to be in my home city (NYC) tomorrow to mark 9/11. Yet the president of the United States couldn’t be bothered to show up. It’s better this way in the end.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I used to really like Sydney Sweeney. Why does every campaign have to be about her body? She’s naked in this latest sports ad. She can offer more than her body for attention, but whatever. Selling your body is a weird choice.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
