“We posted a series of screenshots without any alt text of a thread we shared on the site owned by a Nazi to explain why we amplified the words of a Nazi thanks to a freelancer we sought out to bring us the words of that Nazi which he hacked so we could spread meaningless distortions.” Fuck you.

Our assistant managing editor for Standards and Trust, Patrick Healy, posted on X today in response to feedback on our recent reporting on Zohran Mamdani.

The NYC primary race is bigger than local politics. It asks the question if the larger democratic base is as repulsed by progressivism as corporate Democrats and pundits try to will. Anyways, did you know you don't have to have ever been inside NYC to phonebank for Zohran? www.zohranfornyc.com

This Senate proposal advanced by Sen Cruz would cancel new and existing State laws on any aspect of tech use including civil rights, consumer protection, privacy, fraud, safety for kids, accessibility, and more. In short, we’d lose the few laws we have that ensure responsible AI use. #killthebill

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.gov · last yr.

Don’t be confused: The Senate Republican AI language includes the EXACT SAME AI moratorium as the House bill. Almost word-for-word. This is a complete, 10-year ban on state AI regulation. Period.

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

Sometimes I just start my day at 5am and have done two loads of laundry and cleaned my apartment when I go to the grocery store and it’s not open because it opens at 8am 🤦‍♂️

I know many people my age still have a lot of nostalgia around Harry Potter and might be tempted to watch the new HBO TV series. Please, I'm begging you, do not tune in. J.K. Rowling is singularly motivated. The new Harry Potter series is a cash cow intended to fund anti-trans bigotry.

Been a lil while since I sobbed this hard at a Broadway show! A must-see.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

In a shocking turn of events, many of the people who said they wanted "free speech" actually just wanted to be the ones in charge of which speech is free.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

I get so excited when I see the runtime of a movie and it’s only 90m. Any deviation from that should be a crime.
