Happy birthday, Jonathan Swift. The great satirist was also Dean of the Anglican St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. He had wheels installed on his pulpit in order to be moved directly over any parishioner who fell asleep during one of Swift’s hours-long sermons.

watching the Mamdani campaign from afar during the primary, so many things were impressive, among them the incredible work his online video team was doing to spread the message in fun, creative, educational, invigorating ways that spoke to people
this is my story about how they did it
You can tell the campaign staff is good because you don't know any of their names.

It’s the billionaire-class flavour of the “risk-aversion” model, where periods of prosperity and stability ironically fuel a turn toward ideologically conservative/reactionary positions - rooted less in survival anxiety & more in boredom, identity threats, and perceived/invented external dangers.
I know everything is on fire but PLEASE contact your representatives about the selloff of public lands. It's a heartbreaking proposal that will destroy the soul of America.
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
My god. 6 MILLION acres of public lands in Oregon, including the vast majority of our national forests, will be sold in a fire sale if the MAGA budget passes.

I gave up trying to reform it. We've gotta build something bigger and better. The propaganda, the copaganda, the immigrant panic is too thoroughly embedded in institutional journalism.

The Hollywood Reporter: Although the entertainment business is still grappling with President Donald Trump‘s post suggesting that a tariff on foreign-made films is in the works, the White House said in a clarifying statement Monday that “no final decisions on foreign film tariffs have been made.” “Although no final decisions on foreign film tariffs have been made, the Administration is exploring all options to deliver on President Trump’s directive to safeguard our country’s national and economic security while Making Hollywood Great Again,” White House spokesman Kush Desai tells The Hollywood Reporter.
