El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

You trying to change me

What do you have against doing this?!?

I honestly cannot believe this. The TV trope of Feds Showing IDs exists because real Feds did that shit so you knew they were actual law enforcement officials and not some random person there to kidnap you or kill you. We know this has literally happened with Fake ICE! And yet.

Judge rules New York can’t ban federal agents from wearing face coverings

YouTube's history videos are such crap now. Even when it's a human voicing it, the format is the same AI slop every time. The same confident yet incredulous tone. The same back-and-forth between answer and history. The same sense that people living at the time were surprised.

This. If you have the highest-quality mass market product, and you degrade quality a little (but not enough to drop to 2nd place), you can decrease costs without significantly eroding your market share. And that's before considering the momentum of brand loyalty.

I think this is fundamentally wrong but in an interesting way I will need to write about sometime. The key is a) consumers do not choose what is produced, or how, they choose between what is produced. This is a crucial difference

Maybe if we moved the window a little?

I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.

It takes balls of steel or ovaries of iron to make the choice to transition and I respect the HELL out of anyone who does.

This is not the exculpatory evidence he thinks it is.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

Another example of the problem with the fixation with Trump’s putative emotions: here a story about the Trump administration’s corruption, incompetence, and venality is framed as one about Trump’s “wrath.” www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

Is reaching net zero easy? Obviously not, it requires remaking pretty much all of society, that's why we haven't done it! But is there another solution? No. It's net zero or warm the planet up forever. That's your only choice.

Looks like my Superman thread was linked on Metafilter. Where some people like it and some people are cranky about it. Which, you know, is the internet.

A real question: were classicists acting this insane about O Brother, Where Art Thou when it came out

NYC justice system needs to find these guys and charge them with assault

Masked ICE thug just casually shooting pepper spray at a few old ladies standing peacefully on the sidewalk filming them in uptown Manhattan today. Just because these monsters are quieter now doesn’t mean they’re not still out there violating people.

How does this thread not have more likes

I met Superman once, it was the worst night of my life, and now he's sharing memes he made with everyone from the party. And nobody can leave the group chat! You can't level Superman's group chat.

This hurts not just Democrats, but the many Trump voters in blue states

David Roberts@volts.wtf · 7d ago

This is morally monstrous behavior. These are ordinary, innocent people that Trump is condemning to suffering & death out of political vindictiveness. Every decent human being, regardless of political party, should condemn it. Where is the fucking *anger*? From the press? From civic leaders? Pols?

Seeing the history really drives home how nakedly partisan this is. He's even hurting his own voters, many of whom live in blue states.

Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · 7d ago

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Okay, we have a new contender for Most AI Thing to Ever Happen 1) July 25th: someone messes around with an LLM and posts a proof of the Collatz conjecture that does, in fact, verify in the theorem prover. (The AI use is not disclosed on the github page) https://github.com/xrchz/CollatzLean 2) […]

You may recall the case where Lynne Freeman sued Tracy Wolff for writing a YA set in Alaska where the male lead was hot and broody, just like in Freeman's book. This litigation went on for three years before a judge finally read both books and said there was zero infringement.

I don't know if things are better or worse in Canada, but after seeing this, I wouldn't trust my money in anything that isn't an actual bank with its own government coverage.

i understand the impulse to react to a terrible story by saying that you’re not surprised, but i hope i’ll always be surprised by terrible stories.

Almost nothing gets bacon recalled so I figured this would be for some terrifying reason. No, turns out "The products were 'imported from Canada without the benefit of import reinspection into the United States.'" The picture, however, implies that this is not about Canadian bacon. So IDK.

Over 12,000 pounds of bacon recalled. See affected products

Yup. When Musk says "no one" died, he's asserting that people of color are not people. Not that fact-checking is useless. But it needs to be paired with reminders that Musk is a racist who is asserting that non-white people aren't people. newrepublic.com/article/2135...

The Real Reason Elon Musk Keeps Insisting DOGE Cuts Killed “Zero” Kids

In his explosive interview with The Economist, the SpaceX billionaire inadvertently revealed something darker about his true vision for the future—and about his affinities with global fascism.

being a billionaire and on the internet all day is crazy to me. if i had even five million dollars, you would not find me online whatsoever.

@khwilson.bsky.social I still hear your voice in my head chastising me for using vertical video when filming a hawk back in like 2014 and I hate this trend.

The Verge@theverge.com · last wk.

Vertical video haters, I have bad news: It’s only going to get worse. TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram are if anything going to become more short-form and vertical, since those short videos are easier to make and easier to load into endlessly scrolling feeds.

Nazi. Shit.

Democrats are not up 11 points in the polls. An average of the most recent 10 polls is Democrats +6*. I know, taking a mean isn't perfect, but it's better than looking at a single poll, and _much_ better than cherry-picking a favorite. * www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

1. It could be "the end days" for the Republican Party. That's how Jake Sherman put it when the co-founder of Punchbowl News shared the latest by the Emerson College Polling Center. x.com/JakeSherman/...

This is thought-provoking coming from @polphilpod.bsky.social (as opposed to someone on the right). I think culturally yes, but I'd really like to see more progressive economic proposals from the Dems. And a willingness to fight, hard, when in power would be such an improvement.

Toby Buckle@polphilpod.bsky.social · 2w ago

i don't think anyone's really caught up with the fact that the dems are now more progressive than just about any comparable party/block anywhere
