She didn’t side step. She called out the fact that the house and senate aren’t working for the people Or doing their fucking job. That’s bullshit framing and makes me wonder who paid for this commercial

I’m actually employed now and here to help you realize the maximum value from your Bluesky investment.
"Taxing the rich doesn't work." Tell that to Massachusetts. Their millionaire tax has raised $3.1 BILLION so far. It's funding bridges, buses, teachers, free community college, and free school meals. This isn't theory. It's working. We've got the receipts.
He’s not wrong 🤷♂️

*takes a deep breath* I think what you can see in GRRM's work is a kind of typically American fascination with the Old World, where the most vulgar aspects of its Middle Ages are regarded with a sort of voyeurism, a sort of fetishism.
Dr. Velislava Hillman and Dr. Peter G. Kirchschlaeger argue that as AI erodes job markets, it exposes the reality that the crisis facing young people "was never primarily technological, but political." Time to rethink what education is for, they say.
AI Lays Bare the Authoritarianism of Modern Work. Time to Rethink Education.
AI now bypasses the original logic of the educational bargain altogether, write Dr. Velislava Hillman and Dr. Peter G. Kirchschlaeger.

It would be nice to see an elected Democrat figure out how to rein in their own police some day.
In one perspective: fair. That’s what elections are for, I suppose. In another: you’re welcome for electing trump. If it wasn’t for that who would be your pm?
Dear America, DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR PRESIDENT AND YOUR FECKLESS GOVERNMENT! WHY SHOULD EVERYONE ELSE SUFFER BECAUSE OF THIS INSANITY? Signed, Most of the rest of the planet
Chris wright: stupid or dishonest. Why can’t anyone in the National media ask this question?
WELKER: If you were prepared, why is the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed right now? CHRIS WRIGHT: Because it's right near the Iranian shoreline
There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down
I thought this was a really interesting observation of intent and the impact of ai for those of use who love to build. Feels right. blog.lmorchard.com/2026/03/11/g...
Grief and the AI Split
TL;DR: AI-assisted coding is revealing a split among developers that was always there but invisible when we all worked the same way. I've felt the grief too—but mine resolved differently than I expect...

Ford retreats from EVs, takes $19.5 billion charge as Trump policies grip industry
It's the most dramatic example yet of the auto industry's retreat from battery-powered models in response to the Trump administration's policies and weakening EV demand.

Man, if I had an electric car company, it sure would be convenient for me to put a megalomaniacal sociopath in power to go to war in the middle east. That would cause gas prices to spike, which would increase demand for my EV cars. I bet I'd become a trillionaire if I did that.
We really are governed by insecure, mean 12 year olds.

I fucking love this. Just a little moment of joy to appreciate between all the doom scrolling

just so fucking obvious that this is being promoted now.
Rene Nel says burglars killed her husband in front of her on their South African farm while her son, Theunis, was tied up. No arrests have been made. “My whole life has changed. I've got nothing to look forward to,” says Nel. cbsn.ws/3OHMXVX
Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

Gd. This is gonna turn me into a boomer because I want to send this to my kids like my parents sent me Fox News clips.
If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵
