Fiona Apple is on fire right now. Asking you to join her in the fight for public virtual access to court in Maryland. Injustice happens in empty courtrooms. Explains how to call now & urge lawmakers to pass the law. Also this video is just the best. Watch:
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
My fellow Americans I have been extremely confused at what foods are safe because I guess that's how we live now. This tool will not only let you know what foods have been recalled by the @FDA but also allow you to scan barcodes in case you're unsure.

YOU CLEARLY HAVE A SHITTY GOVERNMENT WHEN THE GOVERNMENT BUYS "SHOCK GLOVES" FOR THEIR SECRET POLICE INSTEAD OF FOOD AND SUPPLIES FOR ITS SAILORS WHO HAVE BEEN STUCK ON A SHIP FOR 8 + MONTHS 😒
My 5% wealth tax on less than 1,000 billionaires would raise over $4.4 trillion to:
Provide $12,000 to a working family of 4
Enact universal childcare
Expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing
End homelessness
Require a $60,000 minimum salary for teachers
Let's get it done.
AIPAC understands that if they lose the Michigan primary, they're done. It will show that their support is now a liability not an asset and they'll become totally toxic among Democrats. This race is AIPAC's last stand, which is why they're throwing everything they have into it.
.@brianschatz today on the Senate floor w some heat:
"There were Democrats, people who consider themselves Democratic strategists, who said out loud that Democrats were walking into a trap because USAID doesn't poll well. I don't care if it polls well. I am not here to have a pollster tell me that I shouldn't care that kids are getting malaria. I am not here to get talked out of the United States being the good guys, because health care polls higher, because the cost of gasoline pulls higher. I'm not deciding what to put into a 30-second spot. I'm deciding how to use the power given to me by the people of the state of Hawai‘i. And I think they care about whether people die unnecessarily because of the stupidity of this Congress.
It’s very craży that 70-80 year olds are generally seen as unemployable due to physical and mental decline BUT we're allowing them to run our ENTIRE country.
Taylor Farms lettuce is the what happens when you start putting corporate convenience ahead of food safety. Rather than making it easier for companies to produce contaminated food, we should be making it easier for people to afford their groceries
There’s nothing better than watching a Republican man wither like a dry flower in the sun when faced with a strong, confident woman. Here, Russell Vought is taken down by Representative Pressley. #DemsUnited
Weird how the median person living in social democracies have double the wealth and access to things like universal healthcare, year long maternity leave, mandatory pto, full worker protections, and guaranteed sick leave. We just spend our taxes on bombs and billionaires.
It turns out the great egg price increase that helped topple Joe Biden's presidency was <checks notes> due to an alleged conspiracy among egg producers to artificially increase prices and the coverage of that fact is a blink-and-you-miss-it story on the NYT website 🙃
