Obviously the casting of Sadie Sink as Jean Grey seems inevitable when you know that the character’s revival was inspired by Farrah Fawcett.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains.
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains. Look I could do this all day but I’ll start here (the rest of the 4AD catalogue in the 90s is also worth your time)
This is the same guy every tech writer called a genius for like 10 years lol
this is the final straw for me and mr. rocket ships
I don’t want to tell anyone how to do their job, but a movie isn’t the best way to go for X-Men. Do a prestige multi-season show like GoT. The source material is perfect for it and the appeal is more about the depth and complexity of the relationships and the threats. 🤷🏻♂️
Instagram says it will ban some of the creepiest kinds of content filmed with Meta glasses, like harassment. I wrote about how Meta gets to have it both ways: saying it will police bad behavior while creating the conditions for it to exist in the first place. www.theverge.com/report/97090...
Meta just created a moderation nightmare for its smart glasses
A new ban on some Meta glasses content is more complicated than it seems

WATCH: @jahimes.bsky.social joins @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social to discuss Donald Trump’s primetime address where, as Rep. Himes says, he “lied to the American public.” Trump’s claim that U.S. elections have been “rigged” is “how American democracy goes away,” Rep. Himes says. #LastWord

Yes though I gotta say the Hartman-as-pretending-to-be-senile-Reagan sketch is just flat out one of the best sketches in the history of the show www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5wf... bsky.app/profile/squa...

"They just want to turn it off." A fascinating story of the librarians who have started teaching classes showing people how to remove AI "features" from their phones and apps. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/02/m...
These Maine librarians are helping patrons resist AI and Big Tech
Despite breathless reporting on how AI is going to change the world, Hannah Cyrus, a Bangor librarian, said that, in her experience, most library patrons aren’t finding it helpful.

I once wrote Dante had Beatrice; Orwell had Stalin; for political writers their muses are not the good things. Wrote this in one sitting today.

I think the reason the Reflecting Pool is getting so much reaction is because it's a tangible metaphor for all the failures of this regime. It's a physical manifestation of toxicity, vanity, cost, error, and assigning blame.
Happy Father’s Day to the dads, people who act as dads, and people missing their dads
I recently painted a series of 90s singers but haven’t posted them here. I have synesthesia which causes me to see colors when I hear sounds. The painting captures what I see when I hear Nirvana
Can’t help but notice all the people who said Obama would desecrate the White House with Escalades and rap music on the South Lawn are absolutely loving this UFC fight on the South Lawn. Probably just a coincidence.

i think this is one of the most defining issues of this cycle to show if the Democratic party finally understands its base. If we fail to hear rural voters on this and use it as a lever to build momentum around indigenous-led land management we might be missing the best chance we’ve ever had.
I repeat: People Aren't Stupid. Voters in Virginia have turned sharply against data centers, with the share of those who would be comfortable with construction of a new data center in their community plunging to 35%, with worries that the projects are a scourge on the environment and utility bills.
Real good bit about the slippery slope of genAI use. A battle we're already fighting, especially against the C-suite.

Trump & Blanche’s heist of $1.8 billion to hand out to their supporters who committed crimes must not be a 1-2 day story. It should be talked about every day until it is stopped. Republicans should be asked about it every interview. Trump should be asked about it every day.
As Republicans aim to erase Black representation in Mississippi, Mississippians and their allies erupt: ❝ 𝙒𝙚’𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙧𝙞𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙪𝙨, 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙫𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜. ❞ #USDemocracy #MomSky #Mississippi #BVM

one factoid I will never be able to remove from my brain is that "declining birthrate" is pretty much accounted for by the reduction in, specifically, teen pregnancy. really gnarly to think about who wants to frame that as a bad thing
