"So he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video" is a direct callback to this image that deserves a second life in this campaign

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video. If you want a senator who's gonna lick some boots, go vote for Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Trump, you've got your option.

lol eat shit

El-Sayed is projected to win the Michigan Democratic Senate primary and will go up against Mike Rogers in November

In place of Katey's dedication is this line: "This book was written by Katey Howes prior to her passing. Her loving family would like to dedicate it to her and her passion for writing books for children." Elizabet's dedication reads: "For Katey"

It was a challenging and unorthodox way to go about finalizing the text, but fortunately the manuscript we acquired was already very strong and didn't need extensive changes. More than anything, I wanted to do right by @kateywrites.bsky.social and make something she would have been proud of. ♥️

Katey died suddenly just as editing was about to begin. We pushed the book back a season to give everyone some time to grieve and figure out next steps. In the end, I ran editorial suggestions by Katey's husband, who also shared all of her drafts with me.

Today is a very special book birthday for TAKE IT APART by @kateywrites.bsky.social and Elizabet Vukovic. Katey worked SO hard over so many years to write a manuscript she felt would be a worth companion to BE A MAKER.

Kidlit authors are underpaid and struggling in this industry. We try to celebrate every little win in the face of all the rejection, lack of $$$, and middling support. Now, @pwkidsbookshelf.bsky.social is taking away one of those celebrations for us. This sucks.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

As a Jewish American, I condemn this bigoted justification for violence and believe we should cut off all support to Israel until the the government cracks down on this behavior and ends the genocide.

Israeli settlers in own words: "I think now, after they killed one Israeli, we need to kill all the people in Tal and Sarra, even Jit and Farata," naming the Palestinian villages closest to the outpost. He added, "God chose us [and] because of this you are jealous." www.bbc.com/news/article...

We home! They yelled at us all last night after we arrived, then refused to sleep on anyone's bed, refused to eat dinner, and now it's Caturday. The orange one is farting a lot.

One day I will fulfill my dream of staying at a hotel for more than two days and managing to turn the correct way out of an elevator bank when I reach my floor instead of being embarrassed when I find myself looking at myself in the mirrror yet again. But not today.

Let's keep our eyes on Nolan Wells. This young man deserves our remembrance & his family deserves our support. It seems only Black people nationally, Mississippi, & Ms Rachel care. But you all should know hearts hurt over this. If you want to know what's on the minds of Black America, it's this.

Ashton Pittman@ashtonpittman.bsky.social · last wk.

I wish everyone approached the Nolan Wells story with the care Duvalier Malone does. Care for truth. Care for the grieving family. Care for the grieving friends. Care for the history of mistreatment that informs Black Mississippians distrust of the system. It's all the above.

If you have type-O positive blood and you can manage it, please consider donating blood *as soon as possible* - this is a very bad situation.

Musk calls for the assassination of a reporter who embarrassed him with basic questions

There is simply no ambiguity in what Elon Musk is arguing and endorsing here.

PSA on the Victoria Line tube in London. Phillipson and every other GC weirdo needs to take note.

Yup, not only do they shame others for using it but it's become a catch-all term for a lazy, dumb person or move. "Yo, that idea is so AI bruh 💀" And when you get shamed by a teen, you can see the burn on your skin. They're not stupid. AI is.

Mike Chen@mikechenwriter.bsky.social · 2w ago

I was just talking with @grubreport.bsky.social about how AI has become a slur/insult for high schoolers. That's probably the biggest thing tech companies didn't anticipate. Once you lose the younger generation, you're not getting them back.

INTIMIDATION FAILED The FBI showed up at reporters’ homes. During dinner. Demanding they reveal confidential sources. Not because the story was false. Because it embarrassed Trump. Now the DOJ is backing down and withdrawing the subpoenas after getting hammered in court.

Fuck this guy forever. Hundreds of thousands of the world's poorest people have already died because of his casual cuts and so many more are doomed. He is one of mankind's most evil figures.

Now the GOP desperately wants him dug out and resurrected and sent back to the hill to vote, as they no longer feel confident they have votes to keep the fascist status quo. “Somebody needs to do something. Somebody needs to come out and put a little video out,” Tuberville.
