Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund check. Amazon got $600 million.: Walmart got $10 Billion. So basically they got to raise all the prices then cash in?

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Beware of people saying those opposed to AI use in art & writing are gatekeepers. The true gatekeepers wait for the world to buy into their products. And once we do, they will gatekeep like hell! For more on why I don't use AI, check out this essay I published last year in @apexmag.bsky.social. 6/

These words aren’t about the tech companies worth billions of dollars or how they created generative AI models by pirating the works of artists and writers without permission or payment. These words a...

this is a uniquely beautiful place beloved of my dad and late grandfather and the park rangers going "yeah all we can do is watch and record the destruction" makes me want to redacted with a redacted. it makes me want to go throw my phone in the trash & learn to be sarah connor in t2, essentially

Also, older Army and disabled Army! A lot of people at the shows I went to wouldn’t even look at me when they were passing out their freebies, but there were a decent percentage that asked me if I’d like one as I was hobbling around with my cane, and I am always delighted to get a freebie!
Claire⁷ | Yoongi got me wet 🪭💜@clairus.bsky.social · 3h agoAlso, I noticed a lot of men who were in queues looked away when freebies were shared as if they didn't expect them or want them. But they always said yes when I asked and most of them were super excited or curious. So don't forget Army men too! And of course all Army, treat everyone equally.
I haven't done one of these in a while, so here I am ready to talk books! Let's do this!

In 1986, contracting HIV meant you were going to die, usually slowly, painfully, and alone. Now it's a chronic illness like hypertension. In 1986, gay and lesbian couples couldn't have their relationships legally recognized and had to adopt elaborate legal workarounds.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 19h agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

They are coming to drive your electricity prices through the roof, destroy your environment, take your water, deafen your ears, pervert your politics, enrich billionaires, take your jobs, and make you pay for the privilege. What’s not to love? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 18h agoTrump: "I think any community that turns down AI is making a big mistake ... data centers, if you look at the state, everything is good around them"
Quite an upset in the #KSGov Dem primary. State Sen. Cindy Holscher, who came out against data centers and the Kansas City Chiefs stadium deal, has defeated state Sen. Ethan Corson, who had a big financial edge and an endorsement from term-limited Gov. Laura Kelly.
Like, I'm genuinely offended that someone would think we would be so dumb as a people to vote for a candidate who is against Medicare for All just because he is black. Get these Herschel Walkers tf up out of here.

IMO, Victor Marx is the craziest and worst nominee of this election cycle. Now he’s resorting to gutter antisemitism.
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · yesterdayDepicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.
