It’s so fucking bad ass when a guy loves the president and the cops. Wears all their merch too. That to me is cool.

“so what’s your take?” “the city of New York must pay me $1 million cash in the next hour and I will kill one person for every minute they are late” “100% disagree”
"What’s driving me crazy, then, is not the idea that AI exists or that people are using AI. It’s that I have a finite time on this earth that I mostly want to spend interacting with other human beings."
Jason Koebler@jasonkoebler.bsky.social · 3mo agoI wrote about being inundated with AI writing at every turn, unwittingly turning my brain into the AI police, and how shitty AI writing is randomly showing up in my real life outside of the internet www.404media.co/your-ai-use-...
Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.
Ari Berman@ariberman.bsky.social · 3mo agoBreaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow
One of the defining hallmarks of our modern age is that people in charge of good things are willing to make them incrementally worse for a chance to make more money, knowing most people are powerless to stop it.
Nicole Auerbach@nauerbach.com · 3mo agoThe NCAA officially announces that the fields of the Division I men's and women's basketball championships will increase from 68 teams to 76 starting in 2027.
Forcing states to accept animal torture even after they’ve voted against it. I’m nauseated
Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · 3mo agoI did a write-up of the recent farm bill passed by the House, as well as the floor votes leading up to its passage. It locks in deep cuts to SNAP and overturns state animal welfare laws. jonathancohn.medium.com/the-houses-n...
My reaction to the damn savannah bananas being advertised at me everywhere I turn
“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

Cake or Death@johngcole.bsky.social · 4mo agoyes you fucking morons free preschool for everyone or it becomes just "free preschool for the poors" and then you call them leeches and ask for tax breaks when really we want free preschool for everyone because we want smart well adjusted kids why is this so hard? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/n...
Red States: We are canceling all programs that don't support our theology. Blue States: We're canceling all the same programs, but because they don't support our business school.
Timothy Snyder@timothysnyder.bsky.social · 4mo agoSyracuse is named after a classical Greek city known for its practical and artistic ceramics, a city which is now in Italy. When we kill the humanities we kill self-knowledge. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/n...
which, incidentally, is exactly what was going on when those statues went up in the 1920s, 60 years after the war. the lost cause keeps losing but there's always a loud contingent of racists who won't give up the ghost.
Berny Belvedere@bernybelvedere.bsky.social · 5mo agoMuch of reactionary politics today is best understood as a Confederate restoration project.
They think punk means *acting without consent* not *acting in defiance of power*
Pookleblinky@pookleblinky.bsky.social · 6mo agoThe thing about that "ai art is punk rock" is we've seen it before. These exact same guys a decade ago were saying Trump was the punk rock candidate, then they said crypto was punk rock, then NFT's were punk rock, that Meta was punk rock. They basically just think punk rock means Jeff Epstein.
That, and whining. Republicans love to accuse media and activists they don’t like as “whiners.” Constantly. But all the right does is whine
Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · 6mo agoI find it frustrating that the left has been characterized as more prone to scolding when the right’s entire culture is built on an openly insidious kind of scolding
what makes something "vulnerable to AI" is not the capacity of machines but the credulity of management.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 6mo agoOf course, it is also true that historians jobs may in practice be vulnerable to AI, because a lot of people who control the money for historian jobs probably haven’t thought much about where history comes from, either.
Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 9mo agoReal tweets from the White House are indistinguishable from anti-Trump AI slop. Or, in this case, 1990s Adbusters parodies.
