@CMccafe So you think it's silly for there to be laws saying we cannot kill cats and dogs and eat them? That's silly?

@mattyglesias If you think of television as a slop medium, you undermine your ability to effectively criticize it.

Much is artistically interesting & possible within television and film.

Constraints can foster creativity. Collaboration can ellevate art.

also MAD MEN is not just quite clearly the best tv show of the 21st century, it's the great american novel. lol

@DaniellaMazzio Do you honestly think there's many major podcasts out there that aren't in some way benefiting from AI or an AI company? Give me a break.

On the helicopter leaving the ship right now. This planet is impossibly beautiful from every altitude I’ve seen it…surface to 250,000 miles

@Papote_T @mattyglesias Whatever. You are displaying no empathy or humanity, so I don't know why I'm arguing with you. Make as many excuses as you want. What happened to this man is horrible and should not have occurred. Any decent human being understands that.

I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action.

@JBSDC @DKThomp @RichardHanania Can you effectively conduct specialized analysis if you cannot reason logically, quantitatively, verbally, etc? Because completing problems sets, reading texts, and writing papers are stepping stones to developing these higher order skills, no?

[Ista @istakirish]

@matt_vanswol Oh yeah. That will fix everything. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

I've been reporting in East Africa on the impact of President Trump's USAID cuts, and I find that not only are children dying in large numbers but the pace is accelerating as stockpiles run out and people grow weaker. I also obtained an internal Trump administration memo stating that the cost of shutting down USAID is $6.4 billion over two years. That sum could save more than 1 million children's lives; instead, it is being spent to to shut down programs that save lives. Help spread the word. https://t.co/VN9XZIU0b3

Terence Tao, one of the world’s greatest mathematicians, is speaking out after federal research funding to UCLA was suspended.

“People who support all the positive aspects of America have to speak out and fight for them now,” he said. https://t.co/g944HOySgX
