An abstract pen plot on white paper in portrait orientation of hatch marks loosely bound in the shape of triangles are hatched with cyan, yellow, or magenta in a seemingly random but organized way to create large amorphous areas of color, creating secondary colors of red, green, and violet.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

The Oscars Needs Sinners More than Ryan Coogler’s movie needs 16 Academy Award nominations or a Best Picture win.

@angelicabastien.bsky.social and i answer the question of the moment: "what does "sinners" record-breaking oscar nomination haul mean?"

for the academy? everything.
for the future of black film? history tells us it won't change much.

like i get that young adults are hardwired to question “this is how the world works” received wisdom from the grownups who think their collective experiences have settled everything once and for all, but if you thought evo psych race-science bullshit was kind of like gnosticism, that’s on you

Paramount says we’re going to have 30 films, separate lots. Honestly, who cares. You're losing 2 independent greenlighting teams. That leads to 1 voice & a loss of diversity. Loss of independent P&L. You're weakening bidding for the projects that exist on the margins.

Gillibrand: "How they missed this was a girls' school is very concerning to me. If Sec. Hegseth did not cut the funding for this area of review by 90%, if he did not continually try to undermine the rules & procedures our service members & generals take - I think he should resign bc of this failure"

Aaron Teitelbaum: these antitrust cases need a strong narrative (JetBlue-Spirit, Random House-Simon and Schuster). In Paramount/WB, when merging parties talk synergies, that's synonymous with cutting people's jobs. What impact will transaction have on people's lives.

They appear to actually believe that anything that doesn’t center whiteness, maleness, heterosexuality, and/or Christianity is automatically “DEI” and is therefore bad. The confidence with which these ignorant arsonists burn things they don’t understand is breathtaking and nauseating.

The culture of mediocre white men continues. This is a study in the Dunning-Krueger effect. Too bad these clowns have no subject matter expertise is any area. They don’t even have a fully formed pre-frontal cortex. Musk made the dumb kids the fall guys and they thanked him for it. Lock them up!

Don’t be a stepping stone for war In the face of escalating war, Hannah Brock Womack shares how to keep pushing back against the idea that conflict is inevitable.

"This war was not inevitable. It was a calculated choice by people with power who believe that might is right. Our experience of God teaches us that this is wrong."

Countries must seek energy independence through renewables and nuclear, says John Kerry Former US secretary of state says oil shock driven by war in Iran highlights dangers of reliance on fossil fuels

Security and sustainability go hand-in-hand. ⚡🛡️ The current oil shock is a reminder that energy independence through renewables is the only way to protect our family budgets and our planet. The future is electric! #CleanEnergy #ClimateAction #MomLife

Look, I'm a simple man.

I'd be happy just to watch Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth & RFK Jr violently fight in a bunker over the last cyanide capsule.

North American birds are dying off faster. It signals a human crisis, too. The accelerating decline of birds is a bellwether of far deeper biodiversity crisis — one that threatens not only beloved species but the humans who live alongside them.

The birds in our backyards are telling us something. 🐦 A new report shows bird loss is accelerating, but it's not too late. By changing how we treat our local environments, we can bring the song back to our neighborhoods. 🌿✨ #ClimateAction #Biodiversity

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

Right-Wing Attacks on James Talarico Are a Reminder That Christian Extremism Is Official Republican Policy The reaction to Talarico's Christian rhetoric demonstrates the ways in which far-right theology is about underwriting misogyny and racism.

Right-wing Christians and even the NRSC have lined up to mock James Talarico’s inclusive, open-hearted Christianity.

Some have even called it blasphemy.

But the Christ of the outsider and the poor is a threat to their political power.

Okay, so this might seem like dumbest damn thing I read today (stiff competition with the UFC fighters train FBI agents press conference).

But consider this: Who actually benefits from coarsening public discourse, smartass surveillance, and jokey domination?

I am begging tech people to try "having friends" at least once in their lives before making this stuff

Kinda stuck on this.

ai boosters want to stuff their product into everything. The product they’ve used to steal people’s art, poison the environment, put people out of job, and convince folks to self-harm, and they are like:

“What if it could also personally insult you?”

Sorry about setting off a global energy crisis guys here’s a fresh tariff. 🤡

“The WGAE stands strong with AFM workers. We’re all artists. We believe deeply in the power of humans to connect to each other through art.

It remains to be seen how long a political party predicated on doing mortal and material harm to their constituents can remain viable.
