"The president wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison! But he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory" -- here's Obama's full riff about the "phony outrage" over his Trump/Cheesecake Factory comments and how it illustrates that "these are not serious people"

“It’s all humans underneath...The problem with a lot of current discourse around AI is that it seeks to ignore that...we start constructing stories around AI as its own sentient being...But it’s not. It’s something that’s built — something that’s constructed by us, by people, all across the world.”

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Obama in Michigan: "After 10 years of chaos and cruelty and corruption and incompetence and tomfoolery and nonsense the likes of which this country has not seen in modern times at least, you get to say enough is enough. We're voting for change right here in Michigan."

Man, Hegseth's Department of War is even more buffoonish than everything else. Kinda amazed how the US military didn't just have some basic war plans they could activate. Their lack of preparedness is astonishing. meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

Anyone who knows anything about admissions knows how hard it is to get to gender parity given how many more women apply to college and how much higher their scores are. To get to 60-40 male…

JW Mason@jwmason.bsky.social · 2w ago

Just to be clear: These different admissions rates are not just a mechanical result of more women applying. The most recent entering class was 58% male and 42% female. That is a choice. chicagomaroon.com/53303/news/u...

President Trump and the Republicans had a two year romp through every political fantasy nourished in their heart since The John Birch Society and Richard Nixon, and you know what: it turns out their ideas were bad and are tanking the economy.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...
