“epstein class is iranian propaganda” is definitely something i’d expect the epstein class to say

One thing this piece bizarrely doesn't consider is that one reason why Mamdani is being so "careful" is that, as a high profile progressive Muslim politician, he and the city he leads are now a target for the far right

‘I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI As AI has upended the way students learn, academics worry about the future of the humanities - and society at large

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project

The risk for babies who get measles under the age of 6 months to develop this within 10 years is 1 in 600.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Vibecession Forever @ghazellebern... • 1d It turns out everyone was listening when you all were saying Democrats are worse than ICE. Maybe stop? Subscribe to Radio... @kleinm... • 1d Gavin Newsom is as popular as ICE right now www.nbcnews.com/politics/ 202..

God it’s so fucking funny to blame Gavin Newsoms polling on people criticising him for his unpopular and horrifying policies. “Why don’t you stupid bastards just bury your heads in the sand!?”

??? why is RFK Jr. going to the doctor for a surgery when he could simply eat a variety of weird meats at his injury

Kennedy to Undergo Rotator Cuff Surgery

and notice how he doesn't form a commission to outlaw doing steroids and jacking off

An important guest has arrived

there is an extremely long list of people who need to be held accountable in the next administration but sending the DOGE boys to big boy jail needs to be near the top of the list

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

The Left has to fundamentally explain to millions of people that the rank-n-file of the Republican party is being systematically staffed by literal neo-Nazis.

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, “But what if I’m stalked?”

And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.

18 Dems just voted *today* for Trump’s agenda. Does it make sense yet why they’re so unpopular?

if we had an opposition party they'd oppose things

Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened

This is not germane to Karl's point really but this image looks like if Jim Breuer got cast in a Peter Thiel biopic.

Abughamentum!!!

This is a two way race.

US watching a movie where a vigilante’s entire family is wiped out: “Oh yeah, time for fucking vengeance, this dude will never stop. Get them!”

US watching Iran pick a Supreme Leader who just had his entire family wiped out: “This guy is plainly going to be reasonable and fold.”

Matthew Yglesias is poking fun at the White House finally realizing its policy is too unpopular to run on? The guy who spent all of 2025 and until circa February of 2026 arguing Democrats shouldn’t even talk about Trump’s immigration/deportation policy? That Matthew Yglesias?

This is an escalation by DHS.

Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.

Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.

Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch
