Recently, Meta announced that it would be turning to AI to assess risks of new products and features. This is a move by Meta to offload its responsibility to its users by using “AI” as cover. www.npr.org/2025/05/31/n...

It’s pouring rain here right now. Out of left field. Not a hint of it in the forecast. Wild.

You know he’s practicing this speech.

I’m pretty grossed out that @burningman.org is still using Twitter to report traffic and gate times while their account here is totally inactive.

Well, dammit, Bill Moyers. Godspeed to you, and thank you for everything you brought to the medium. Your conversations with Joseph Campbell reconfigured my mind in a way few other ideas and dialogues have.

Colman Domingo to Tina Fey in “Four Seasons”: “God your face gets so loud sometimes!” I feel so called out.

One cannot help but wonder if the Curia will go the same way so many other bodies politic have in response to a liberal leader. That is to say, can we expect the next pope to be an arch-conservative? Even if Francis softened the College of Cardinals, alliances can be awfully powerful.

Is anyone having trouble with 2FA on United? I have tried all three available methods (app, sms, email) and nothing is working.

Since Cory Booker is rightfully getting a lot of positive attention I just want to add that he has very consistently been one of the only high-level politicians who actually cares about good drug policy and cares about hearing from people with lived experience in addition to other experts.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

Can someone please take the transcript and throw it in NotebookLM and make a podcast out of it please? Thanks.

Let's be super clear that the REASON they used Signal was to set disappearing messages. They are intentionally violating federal record-keeping laws.

Like, do they ALL have brain worms??

Gawker founder Nick Denton is selling his apartment and moving to Hungary. In a wide-ranging discussion, the demise of his mini-media empire almost a decade ago, his bearish attitude toward America, and why he admires Peter Thiel.

I did not realize that I was wading into a misogynistic slop house when I started watching Homeland.

This is a Hitler-screaming-in-his-bunker-at-generals level of lunacy

Democracy dies in darkness, indeed. Kay Graham would not have believed this could happen in America.

Let me translate two things this libertarian light nincompoop is saying: Personal liberties means doing whatever the fuck I want. Free markets means doing whatever the fuck I want. He’s an adult toddler.

The way an evening with folks you weathered many a storm with can fortify your soul.

I knew episode 8 of The Pitt was rough – I'd heard the buzz – but in no way was I prepared to sob for 20 minutes AFTER it ended. I think my whole body released a week's worth of sadness.

Welp, the GOP is finally getting the "trickle down" effect it's been harping on about for 45 years.

The University of Pittsburgh confirmed Friday that there would be no new Ph.D. offers of admission while Pitt works to understand how reduced federal aid could impact the institution.

If you’re going to force me to look at Nazi salutes by using them as the images for the articles you publish, have the fucking decency to call it what it is. Provocative gesture? Literally what the fuck is wrong with you.

The Daily Beast@thedailybeast.bsky.social · last yr.

Steve Bannon whipped up the CPAC crowd by talking about the possibility of Trump staying in office for a third term—and concluded his speech by giving a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month.

when the crowd cheers for the Nazi salute, what you have is a crowd full of Nazis

I’m stuck in meetings for a couple of hours and he proclaims himself king? I have no more spoons. None.

This is such a great example of how accessibility features (in this case, alt text) create a better experience for everyone. #a11y #accessibility

What's good about this one is that MAGA will read it as a new name for Mar-a-Lago

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

DOGE says it has saved $55 billion in federal spending so far, but its website only accounts for $16.6 billion of that
