I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

My husband and I started a non-profit to help surrendered dogs in CA by pledging, supporting rescues, and back end funds. We hoped to help 100 dogs by the end of the year and we’re there! Much more to do but feels great. Here are a few of our happy tails. www.zeffy.com/en-US/peer-t...

What y'all are doing is amazing! I wish I could donate more, but I hope even a little helps a delightful doggo find a better home.❤️🐶

If Mitch McConnell is indeed brain-dead, then every one of the senators and congressmen who said they spoke directly to him should be impeached.

get a load of the look on Zelenskyy's face as Trump calls him "President Putin"

pure insanity this is perfect

Ron Howard being cool cool cool with ai and saying Jim Henson woulda loved it because Jim just wanted to work on the fun stuff and not the nuts and bolts... and my man, you don't create great directors and creators if you don't help PEOPLE learn the nuts and bolts. Artistic oligarchy. boo.

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

Our government telling an adversary to disregard the President's social media posts because they're not real and are intended for promotional purposes and US media consumption, says it all. Holy fuck.

Why is this just so crazy to read from him. Explaining how the robots are not human. Just spelling it out

I disagree and this is kind of a bad take. the vast majority of science fiction across formats, including in text, on both the big and silver screens, and in video games, are largely cautionary tales in some form or another. failing to see those cautionary tales speaks to declining media literacy

Hard-boiled science fiction readers *want* to believe in things like AI--and have been prepped for it through over a half century of writing.

thank you to everyone who sent this to me

Funny story, each year thousands of teachers make wishlists on his stupid site because they don’t have school supplies so he makes millions off that teacher in Queens and could just give teachers free stuff but he’s a greedy bastard

Bezos on CNBC: "You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens. I promise you."

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person.

Selma Rejects Jim Crow 2.0

Half of the population in Dallas County, Alabama, where Selma is located, was African American in 1965.

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

People need to start to understand what happens when you fire the inspectors.

Ted Turner was the seedling of all that is wrong with American media

Maybe instead of shitting on kidlit, he could get off his high horse and fight against HR 7661 or financially defend the librarians getting fired for trying to keep books on shelves. How about trying to help his industry instead of making it easier for book banners to destroy it.

In his new book, Mac Barnett writes "I have a nagging fear that children's literature suffers from a slightly higher crud percentage than literature as a whole...maybe more like 94.7 percent of kids' books are crud." He currently serves as the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature

Friends in LA- Karen Bass wants to end the program that gives a bit of joy to shelter animals. Going out on walks. This makes them more adoptable. No one wants their tax dollars going simply to killing more dogs. She has done so much harm. So many dead dogs. www.instagram.com/p/DXhJmQVlPy...

I tried to gin up some humor here, but there is none. These guys are at 2nd grade level intelligence and the press just sits there and gawks like these are normal comments from normal people.

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

As a Californian, I’m excited about @xavierbecerra.bsky.social But I hope he plans to work on the animal shelter crisis, which has spiraled out of control. We are “Killifornia” What my tax dollars go to is morally and environmentally obscene. Ban backyard breeding. Fund shelters. Spay/neuter.
