BREAKING: Gov. JB Pritzker says the Trump administration has sent the Texas National Guard to Great Lakes Naval Base outside Chicago, awaiting orders to deploy to Chicago. Trump administration officials will target Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16) celebrations. @wttw.bsky.social
They think the dog won't bark/vocalize happily or act/be happy or have a personality at all or be able to do literally almost anything on their own anymore, because they're working exclusively on a completely outdated definition of the word. bsky.app/profile/nick...
Anyone else find this just a little dystopian? I mean I know it's commonplace nowadays, but...😐
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com
Trump announces National Guard deployment to Chicago, saying: "We're going in."
Great story by my colleagues on the constant political realignment of Grok, the generative AI chatbot over on the other site. This change to Grok’s answer about the greatest threat to Western civilization is particularly ironic/meta. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/t...

What is happening.
Amid the speculation about Trump's declining health, he is fundraising about hoping he gets into heaven.
In his own voice, Elon Musk is fully committed to a replacement conspiracy theory as his main lens on UK politics.
We are not that far out from Vance amplifying a false rumor about Haitian immigrants in Ohio eating pets. He's shown himself to be an amoral political leech whose main goal is to put himself as close to positions of power as possible. We don't know how bad things could get under President Vance
"Can seven billionaires possibly be wrong??"
they’re so close
Fixed.
“LIKE A BROKEN RECORD” Now that the @nytimes is reporting Modi and Trump had a falling out over Trump’s lie that he deserves credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire, we re-submit to you this clip of an Indian anchor calling him out months ago — even as 🇺🇸 media wouldn’t.

Every AI chat has a hidden water cost. One ChatGPT conversation? About half a water bottle. Here’s how to calculate the true footprint of your prompts:
It ... it incredibly unsettling when people say "signs" of Eugenics when RKF Jr.'s stated policy on diseases is (paraphrased) ... "only the weak die from diseases so it's ok for diseases to spread through society" That is not only erroneous, but also an *explicitly* Eugenic stance.
A scientist who resigned from the CDC this week warned that RFK Jr. has shown signs he believes in eugenics.

Earth got hit by a coronal mass ejection 4 hours ago. The aurora chaser in me is excited, but fall migration is underway so I’m nervous the magnetic disturbance will confuse birds. But data suggests birds adjust to peak solar activity? www.allaboutbirds.org/news/geomagn...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump says he's awarding former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Huh! I did NOT know there were over 38 million Bluesky users already, good to know!

People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.
Something press pool could ask about
Does anyone know how long his fake tan lasts before he has to re-apply it? (This photo taken 1 week ago)
@nickwrightdata.ntw.app as we found out the last few years there is no satire obvious enough that someone somewhere won't believe it
The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...

Happy Labor Day 🙂
On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
Happy Labor Day! Matt Meyer, the Democratic governor of my blue state, celebrated the holiday by vetoing an important bill that would have protected workers from one of the most common forms of wage theft (eg being reclassified as an "independent contractor"). Off to my union picnic!
JUST IN: Drew Ensign, on behalf of DOJ, reports that all of the migrant children have been returned to ORR custody.
Trump leaves the White House this morning (Andrew Caballero/Getty)
At first, I was wondering why he looked like just a regular old guy, and then I realized... Where is his fake spray tan he literally always wears??

Can someone perform Language Style Matching on the entire DJT Truth Social dataset? Just saying, I bet you'd find out they all classify out into some very interesting yet completely disparate subgroups 🤷♂️
Something to ponder the next time Mike Johnson says he is a Christion?
It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.

New comic strip found: DeFlocked - 2025-09-01 https://www.gocomics.com/deflocked/2025/09/01 #comicstrip #deflocked
It's often been debated if Trump could pull off a fascist takeover of the United States, because he's clearly not very smart. I talked to @anneapplebaum.bsky.social about that for my newsletter
"Hitler was widely thought to be a buffoon—both by German conservatives and by foreigners," says Anne Applebaum. "What that meant, in practice, was that he wasn't taken seriously until it was too late. His buffoonery disguised the danger that he posed to Germany."
🚨 Help! Third Way put out an odious memo saying Dems shouldn’t use words like “cisgender” or “minoritized.” Problem: it’s scientifically wrong. I drafted an evidence-based op-ed response (I’m a data scientist) and need fast-turnaround outlets. Can you help me by giving suggestions or sharing this?
Conference pet peeve: presenter describes new magical intervention as "AI". Does not elaborate on model architecture. When pressed, claims they aren't a data scientist. This has happened at nearly every conference I've attended in the last 3 years. #academicsky #statsky
Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death. Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...
Earlier this week, Trump fired NSA's top data scientist — i.e. a math super-genius — because he had worked on the intelligence community's analysis of Russia's interference in our 2016 election.
Possibly the nerdiest scandal of all time, geoguessr’s song contest was rigged and caught by a data scientist, who had been archiving vote totals by scraping data the site was leaking by accident.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'd like to draw your attention to the phrase "fetch, toss, and play". Fetch. Toss! Play. I submit to you that any reasonable person would not call the clear "RIP AND TEAR" actions portrayed in *the prosecution's own footage* either fetching, tossing, or playing.
Today on a Sunday drive in Nevada, a different state from where I live, I stopped to help a mother opossom and her babies cross a desert road. Departing alone at a normal rate of speed I was t boned by a fast moving ice cream truck. I am now in traction at the hospital. You have no further questions
UPDATE: In its latest status report, DOJ says that three of the five migrant children discussed in his previous status report have now been returned to ORR custody. Drew Ensign says that he'll file another status report tomorrow when the two remaining children are in ORR custody.
Unemployment for Black Americans has surged to 7.2%, the highest level since October 2021, when the job market was still recovering from the pandemic. The drop in employment is a warning sign. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
(Oh sorry, thought you meant it was new/recent) That's just having good taste and emotionally connecting with the music! Nothing wrong with that.

Lorelei Cloud was born 3 years before Native Americans living on tribal lands in Colorado were guaranteed the right to vote. She is now vice chair of the Southern Ute Tribe. “I don’t want future generations to have to deal with any of what we’ve had to.”
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
“At Goodwill of North Georgia, the number of Black people who for the first time ask for help finding work is up 41% over the past three months, compared with a 23% increase in the number of new white job seekers.” www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

Clothing idea: A similarly gigantic scarf that's instead 100% made w/hardened steel--providing absolutely ZERO direct warmth, in fact sapping it from you--but it paradoxically DOES warm you up, as you must struggle so mightily to lift it that you break into a sweat standing up, no matter the weather

What Star Trek series is this disgruntled "fan" quote about? "[Star Trek is NOT supposed to be characters] talking about their feelings!" ....that's right! DS9! Can't wait for in ~30y when "fans" lament that "Trek has gone woke, unlike the classics like Discovery" www.youtube.com/shorts/DxgDq...
Minor update, but I know people are watching closely: DOJ's Drew Ensign has entered an appearance in the case, so I expect a filing from him shortly.
