As Pope Leo confirms his approach to LGBT community to be like that of predecessor, a particular optic should not go unnoticed: at today’s audience in the Apostolic Palace, Father James Martin was seated directly across from Leo at the desk, a place normally reserved for heads of state.
I’m serious. This REALLY infuriates me. @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @cnn.com Do your job. You failed to lift this up in 2024. If farmers are hurting, explain why and who is to blame. And remind Americans that we paid BILLIONS for Trump’s first tariff blunder. It’s so irresponsible to ignore this.
Congestion pricing is actually the perfect example here. Trump declared that “congestion pricing is dead” (and that he is the king) Hochul and the MTA told him to fuck off, and now, more than 6 months later, congestion pricing is still alive and working exactly as planned
They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning
You could mention that this is unconstitutional. But that would require a spine you don't have.
Did the deviantArt white bread fetish guy write this?
Just learned from the editor of The Harvard Independent that my op-ed outperformed their previous top post ever. It got roughly 450% more pageviews than their average. I hope more people read them. They were great to work with and brave to publish the piece!!!!
No candidate willing to sacrifice trans folks to win deserves a single vote. No candidate willing to sacrifice migrant peoples to win deserves a single vote. No candidate willing to sacrifice Indigenous folks to win deserves a single vote. Warrior up, people. You CAN build a better world.
What are we even doing?
So much good from this episode but it was one of the best guest appearances, every single word was funny being said by that voice
I have told so many family members this. It's like when NYT pitchbot, the onion, or dril makes a goddamn post and it comes true.
Unironically the movie The Death of Stalin lays out exactly how it will go, except there are no Khrushchevs or Zhukovs, just Beriyas
regardless of what happens to the tariffs, they're doomed from the start because the average conservative holds all three of these positions at once: — virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — against increasing the minimum wage — buys foreign imports because they're cheap
Well, here we go This is the op-ed in which I denounce the Riesman Center for Harvard Hillel Pray 4 Josie harvardindependent.com/avoid-the-bu...
People so hate dealing with getting prior approval from health insurance companies - and the attendant denials - that someone shot a CEO over it. Now the Trump administration is beginning to bring the prior approval system to Medicare - and will use AI to decide who's covered for what.
Democrats’ favorite research firm told them to avoid discussing Trump’s “rising authoritarianism” and focus on tariffs instead. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
wish people would expand their definition of safety to include safety from government violence
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
The middle ground is abolishing ICE and prosecuting ICE and top administration officials in a Nuremberg style process. They're putting immigrants in concentration camps and torturing them. There's no middle ground to be had. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
I mean if gymnasium Jordan says he didn't touch kids it must be true
the actual communication problem democrats have is this: their most prominent national figures filter everything through focus grouped lines and are incapable of plain speech
I mean…
And this is why The Argument getting so much funding as a supposed "left" leaning publication is so ridiculous. They're going to argue for the status quo, not building a better world. What a joke.
checking in on this it is interesting to me that the handful of examples people have — a handful weighed against hundreds of thousands of words of communication — are three to five years old and come from budget documents or t-shirts or people who aren’t even in office anymore
the reason this discourse will never end is because it is completely untethered from any kind of evidentiary standard. as long as there is a 19-year-old barista somewhere saying “cultural appropriation,” guys like nichols will complain that “democrats” use alienating language.
Unless you are determined to be naive or committed to being delusional, it is clear this White House is stealing democracy & bringing violent dictatorship to your doorstep. First LA, then DC, next Chicago. The danger is not red v blue or towns v cities, but ALL of US in the US👇🏾
I'm not willing to maintain the idea that Bluesky is an echo chamber while Bill Kristol is one of the most popular accounts on here. Those things cannot coexist.
I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own. Now, we continue fulfilling that promise. Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.
I’m sorry but the “should scientists be activists” train left the station for the last time when we started spending billions to build concentration camps. I feel like you guys are engaging with the science stuff as though the camps thing is like, happening on a different TV show
This is it, this is the broken mentality that's brought all the others in line. He's just as diseased as the rest of them.
My mom visiting with me from Youngstown, Ohio, handled it just fine today, FWIW.
It's not computing power, it's training. It's also the fact that these things (by design) have no reasoning. They also can't learn.
Counterpoint: no it doesn’t you fuckin moron
He should shut the fuck up
@govmurphy.bsky.social Hey, shut the fuck up.
every demographic that moved in favor of Trump and now thermostatically reversed:
incredible that three overpaid consultants in a trench coat can get media play by urging democrats not to use words that literally no one in mainstream politics uses
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout. On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar. This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵
Such a lazy newspaper filled with cowards
In the face of intense public opposition, the Memphis Chamber of Commerce has gone to unusual lengths to promote Elon Musk's xAI supercomputer, including sending a mailer with inaccurate information about the governmental oversight in place to monitor the facility. By @wendicthomas.bsky.social
Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.
According to this story, DOJ will investigate people who burn the flag and then try to prosecute them for something else because burning the flag is protected activity. www.cnn.com/2025/08/21/p...
Some voters are obviously into that sort of thing But there are enough casual Trump voters who would be genuinely grossed out if they knew what Trump definitely has done to children
Pretty sure its too late for that. A LOT of people in this country would love to piss on his grave.
if you can't sell the american public on the idea that federal troops in the streets is fundamentally unacceptable then you have no business being in politics. and if you do not forcibly believe this at your core such that you can't shut up about it, that goes double for you
Yeah and it sounds like they wanted more of it but just stopped doing it
Maybe the media needs to look at how it talks about crime.
Oh God that's right. Why did MA do this?
This must be a weird Massachusetts thing because theres a Sheraton hotel just west of the city sitting over the mass pike in Newton.

Build a statue of John Brown at Harpers Ferry (I assume they don't yet have one)
I want a presidential candidate who promises to construct Union memorials and statues all over the country. And yeah, North and South. Blanket Virginia with statues of Thomas, who actually chose the right side. Hell, put one of Sherman in the middle of Peachtree Park.
from chandra manning's wonderful book "what this cruel war was over"
much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.
I want the next Democrat president to crush, publicly humiliate, and economically ruin wasteful, useless ICE employees - just the same way the MAGA admin is doing that to cancer researchers, aid workers, and national park employees (among so many others) right now.
This really is an incredible piece. Steve is one of the best tech journalists of all time, he deserves twice the attention he gets, I don't see anyone else doing this level of in-depth analysis. Astonishing that nobody else got this story. This should be front page of @techmeme.com!
5 minutes of research shows India&Pakistan and Cambodia&Thailand refute Trump had anything to do with the negotiations. Pretty sure theres another story with the Congo "peace deal" too.
I'm 100% convinced Putin told Trump he has a full copy of the Epstein files and will release them if he doesn't get concessions out of Ukraine.
If only Maggie was in a position to DO something about it.
This is real and not some weird AI stuff? That's insane
Ahh ok so the sugar is to super charge the proofing. Thanks!
Damn that's a lot of dough. Mind if I ask what the recipe is?

"They should have sent a poet" is my personal favorite. Ann and Carl always saw how art was just as important as science.
“Abolish ICE” is the floor
God, bucees sucks
Documents with sensitive details about the meeting between President Trump and Russian President Putin were left behind on a public hotel printer.

"The Reality of Hope" is now streaming via @newyorker.com! Thank you @hiyu.bsky.social, @photographotter.bsky.social and everyone who we made this with, especially @maxfilmsvr.com. The film shows the kindness of the VR furry community. Enjoy! youtu.be/SMWpcHrIMBo?... #RealityofHopeFilm #VRChat
This just confirms everything I've ever heard about the TNG cast
The "oh are you surprised?" language drives me up the wall because it is literally doing the work for them; dictators like Putin have for years engaged in trying to make people cynical and fatigued about egregious corruption so they can normalize it.
I know the New York Times is effectively a fascist outlet, and I am so fucking bored by the inevitable sea of “oh are you SURPRISED” replies to this post. How else would you prefer I point out the horrific Yarvin language on a microblogging website?
It's a commissar. They appointed a commissar

Altman now saying they're "looking into" having 4o back. Doing this would be basically admitting GPT-5 isn't good lol
let’s see how things are going over at White Castle
Less reliable weather data hurts Americans' ability to protect our families and property from natural disasters. Less reliable economic data hurts Americans' ability to protect our businesses, investments, & jobs from economic risks and to grow them by recognizing opportunities.

I wonder how it would have been framed if Joe Biden had been in a delusional fantasy world about key aspects of the job.
I rang patron saint of AI bubbles @edzitron.com to get his thoughts on the MS news, here's his take on the earnings report that investors loved:
The Culinary Workers Union representing 60,000 hospitality workers in Nevada has achieved a historic victory on the Las Vegas Strip. For the first time in its 90-year history, all major casinos on the Strip are unionized.
The extent to which women I know do say things along the line of "maybe I should just give up and marry a rich guy" is...not a good thing
All those Trump surrogates who touted this, and news orgs that reported it credulously, owe Americans a big fat apology www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
I THOUGHT that voice sounded familiar
If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.
