“WE HAVE TO SHOVE ACCOUNTABILITY DOWN THEIR F***ING THROATS.” 🔥🔥 Katie Phang delivers a fiery sign-off on today’s episode of Sidebar with Katie Phang: “I don’t want any of you to ever think that we can’t get through this. But I want us to thrive, not just survive.”

KAEPERNICK: The part that I hope people take away in this moment is what Robert Kraft and what they’re saying by denying Macklemore is they are openly colluding. They also want people to know that if you take an action that they don’t agree with, they will come for you.

The truth is none of y’all hate Robert Kraft enough. Get on my level. (From February) gillianbrockell.com/the-truth-ab...

The best reason to hate the New England Patriots is where their team planes have been.

I mean if you really want to hear Ed Sheeran without any opening acts you can simply get put on hold with your bank

I don't like Sheeran, or Pink, had no idea who Macklemore was, and I'm very tired of the cult of celebrity. Exhausted, actually.

Streisand Effect. Congrats, Robert Kraft and pro genocide supporters. You've just made Macklemore and his speech mentioning "Free Palestine" into a global issue, galvanizing the majority.

Will Trump’s Lies Backfire?

He can insult our allies, attack our institutions and undermine the people working to make us smarter. But the truth is catching up with him.

Meta using Bowie's "Five Years" in an ad is like Republicans using "Born in the USA." Clearly they didn't read the lyrics. Idiots.

Folks! Today is National Voter Registration Day. You do not have to decorate. Or wear a costume. Or send cards. (All are welcome, though.) All you need to do is check your voter registration: midterms.voteamerica.org/vote/verify/ If you're not registered, do it: midterms.voteamerica.org/vote/

With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Skip the civil war fantasy. The midterms are still winnable; he is still losing in court, and the actual work is boring and unglamorous, and nobody gets to feel heroic doing it. Predicting doom in advance is the cheapest possible way to sit this one out.

Nessel: What I think is likely to happen, more likely than not, is that we won’t go through the normal certification process that we usually go through. The president will try to throw a wrench in our ability to do that, and the certification will have to come in the courts,

Anyway, we are NOT throwing our trans siblings under the bus for ANY reason. NO. You can kick rocks.

I always visually confuse the words sacred and scared bc I'm dyslexic. This is both.

A fatal cat disease was finally cured, but the treatment wasn’t legally available. So a group of cat lovers created an international black market. The latest from our friends at @revealnews.org:

I'm so angry. Nick Cave is a cunt for being so good.

I want to do a radio show. I want to play at an open mic night. I want to have a BIG garden again. I want to be a flower farmer. I want to sell tomatoes at a ramshackle roadside stand. 1/2

I believe the biggest threat #AI poses is to the economy. AI is not only theft, it's also a shell game.

If you're worried and confused about the AI crisis but don't understand all the lingo and concepts, I'll put the essence of all this in simpler terms. Forget the actual tech reasons for a second. You should really be worried about the lack of transparency combined with incompetence. (thread)

Interesting and accessible counterpoint to the latest concern hype about AI by @leninology.bsky.social (And it has a good explanation of the functioning and limits of LLMs, for those curious.)

When you're constantly just trying to keep the lights on and put food on the table, you don't have the time or energy to fight the system. Keeping people hanging on by a thread isn't a policy failure; it's how they keep us too tired to push back.
