I really want to hear from the dozens of journalists who wrote glowing profiles of Alpha School in the last few years. Actually scratch that. I never want to hear from them again.

AI School Hooking Children Up to Heart Monitor in Front of Class While Playing Critiques of Their Work

The controversial AI-focused private school Alpha School is making its students do some unusual things before enrolling.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

Gloria Steinem is the exemplar of Imperial Feminism. She might be important to the history of (white) feminism, but that doesn’t mean we should go about lionizing her and ignoring the deep, deep flaws in her variety of feminism.

regular meghan 나영지 🇵🇸@ruemcclammyhand.bsky.social · 6d ago

she helped primary Hilary Clinton in 2008. she had a massive terf phase. she’s a perfect example of the kind of white feminism that does not seek to eradicate systems of injustice but merely wants to be included in the class of people on the receiving end of power.

Also, I think global second wave feminism is one of the most successful and consequential social movements in human history.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Sep Advocate Rep. Seth Moulton, who made throwing trans girls under the bus central to his MA Senate Dem primary campaign _crushed _ by incumbent MA Sen Ed Markey, who made support for trans girls in sports a core position: 65% to 35%. Take THAT Third Way.

The congressman tried to turn attacks on transgender athletes into a Senate promotion. Sen. Ed Markey crushed him by nearly 30 points.

The media treatment of El-Sayed and their omission of JD Vance's bigoted attacks of him strongly support the notion that South Asian Hindus are viewed as "model minorities" while Muslims are definitely not.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · last wk.

Egregious omission by NYT: Its report on Vance-AES feud quotes AES's barb about Usha and Papaw without including the original Vance quote that AES was responding to. That makes it look like AES brought up Usha out of the blue and drains his quote of its real meaning: newrepublic.com/article/2149...

There are many reason to criticize Satmar, and Hasidic Rebbes as a whole. But when you decide they are "bad Jews" because you don't like their politics and anti-Zionism, you have truly lost track of what Judaism is. In any form.

"we work to represent the "ground truth" as accurately and neutrally as we can" well, nothing says accurate and neutral as renaming lake ontario to lake america

Why were there only 3 measles deaths in the last 10 years Robert

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w ago

RFK Jr defends measles: "In 10 years, there have been 3 measles deaths in America. There are now about 1.2 million deaths every year from food-induced illness. The media and certain demagogic politicians are constantly trying to scare us about infectious disease."

This is the fundamental problem of all fucking organising and it makes me scream. Solidarity cannot be transactional because showing it with those most under attack is the single best way to protect yourself and the only way it works and they will not be able to give back what you give them.

Mallory Moore@sexabolition.blog · 2w ago

Because the worst that can be done to the most vulnerable of us today is what we are condemned to be subjected to in the future, with fewer allies by our sides, if we do not. Solidarity and radicalisation isn't an ideological thing it's the only practical solution to our predicament.

thank you the new yorker and françoise for having me do this cover for the late, great dolly parton

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

In case you are an academic who is currently being gaslit into believing that you're a caveman who wants their students to be jobless if you resist allowing AI in your classrooms... I present to you Berkeley Law's response, which can be summarized as "Fuck off directly into the sun."

Wait a damn minute. The things Arday did, like the marathons, had been previously covered, with first hand primary sources, by English news orgs, contemporaneously?!?! And yet the Telegraph and others just kept repeating that he'd lied about them, despite tons of documentation they happened?! 🤬🤬🤬
