Peretti [said] AI will “replace the majority of static content” on the site, a month after shuttting down its Pulitzer Prize-winning BuzzFeed News division...After the initial spike in enthusiasm, the company’s stock took a massive beating; as of this week, its shares are hovering around 70 cents
I just had virtually the same conversation with my nephew (humanities edition) - he’s graduating college in May and had wanted to go into academia but says it’s totally infeasible with so many departments not taking grad students and funding drying up.
We’re losing an entire generation of scholars.
Overthrowing them shortly after the 250th anniversary would be hilariously appropriate though.
do think this administration is kinda a masterclass in how foreign policy can really wreck an administration and why you can't just ignore defense and FoPo
what the fuck is going on in Sam Altman’s head
Talarico: "There's another war in the Middle East. There's a cost of living crisis. There's a secret pedophile ring & no one has been prosecuted. So the people responsible are trying to distract us with the same old culture wars ... what do the American people care more about -- pronouns or prices?"
really does feel like “I will personally destroy this twerp’s life” would be a unifying electoral strategy
prosecute DOGE top to bottom tbh
Stephen Miller complaining about the UK finally eliminating heredity nobility from their legislature is a perfect encapsulation of how perverse it is to have these people in charge during the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Immediately disqualifying for the job for which he has been nominated. The 4th Amendment specifies it’s “the right of the people,” not of citizens.
We cannot allow someone who doesn’t understand the 4th Amendment to be the head of DHS.
Government by guys who openly and loudly claim they literally don't see other people as people but non-sentient NPC's, who are all rapists and pedophiles who actively and gleefully deny others agency, of course these dipshits didn't actually plan for Iran to fight back.
Ok, remember the whole Art of War thing about knowing yourself and your enemies being the key to defeating them?
Well, trans communities are at war. So it is *really* important to know what the actual dangers facing us are, what is panic/disinfo and where our enemies are dangerous/weak...
It's awesome that people still like to say that this is some liberal democracy with an independent justice system that holds people accountable
The literal first line of the article: '"This is embarrassing to admit, but I think I fell in with the right wing as an aesthetic choice initially,” says Anna.'
It's like pure parody.
Let's think bigger. Let's think like Herman Kahn. Let's dig a canal across the entirety of Saudi Arabia to the red sea with nuclear bombs
Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."
What a great update, he is despised by everyone! Remember: don’t give any credit to Republicans for just not liking Trump. Is there anything easier to do?? He’s an unlikeable guy! Anyway sorry to these dogs

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.
100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.
Mainstream media: nothing
Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.
Mainstream media: nothing.
This is what extreme media bias looks like.

Diplomatic staff at the American consulate in Erbil were also forced to shelter-in-place when the facility came under attack from Iran before they were ultimately flown out of the country by the British Royal Air Force due to constraints on the U.S. military, which would normally carry out such a mission, according to the officials. The U.K. Ministry of Defense confirmed to ABC News that the RAF carried "a number of US consulate staff and contractors, at their request" from Iraq to Cyprus.
Trump apparently needed one of those allies he doesn't need anymore to rescue the Americans in Iraq who weren't evacuated before Trump shat the place up.
Meanwhile, Witkoff is meeting with the people who helped Iran do the targeting.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
i am being absolutely serious here: CENTCOM had one job and it was literally to prepare for an Iran contingency
Sage Deviant says she supports trans equality in everything, including sports.
“Liberation not assimilation. I am the Democratic Party frontrunner. Abolish & prosecute ICE.”

Oh, ffs.
Judge: why are you using AI to do run of the mill issue spotting which is a basic part of your job?
