this language is now indexed as a form of racial harassment. The mere mention of Palestinians and their ongoing mass killing, siege and starvation is treated as a form of bigotry. I don’t know what else to say other than this is completely dystopian and insane.

CNN: Platner’s campaign just announced raising over $200,000 in a single day following the New York Times article — their best fundraising day since Janet Mills dropped out of the Maine Senate race

[Wazz @WazzCrypto]

POV: You're about to rob retail in broad daylight

[Joe Wrote @joewrote]

To recap:

- Dem and Rep operatives spend the week setting the narrative that Graham Platner is a predator
- Pro-Israel NYT runs a story on Graham Platner
- Done by a pro-Israel reporter
- No SA allegation
- They talk to 6 exes. 3 say he was fine.
- 2 of the remainder say he drank and womanized
- The last is a Conservative activist who protected Brett Kavanaugh
- She claims Platner trapped her in a room
- The NYT reads her diaries, texts, Google Chats, and Facebook messages. Nothing corroborates her story.
- NYT finds a text from the accuser saying she "Would personally campaign for Susan Collins."

This is the most obvious Zionist smear campaign in history.

“Backrooms” is about the Gen Z experience of living amid the cultural detritus of the 1990s, faded photocopies of a decade that - at least aesthetically - never ended.

The uncanny reality of a 20-year-old witnessing Oasis reunions, “Frasier” revivals, “What’s Goin’ On?” memes.

Scorsese is pro-AI for the same reason so many middle aged and older people in creative industries are, and the same reason all those college administrators we saw getting booed were: they are being lied to about something they don’t really understand by enthusiastic rich people.

How much human connection are we missing out on because our current models of communication are flawed?

Wait, you guys are making $70k a year?

The lack of morning weather balloons launched across the western and central U.S. is having a real, tangible impact on degrading forecast quality.

We can't look at weather balloon data that doesn't exist. We can't pump nonexistent data into models. We can't rely as heavily on models that don't "know" what's happening above our heads.

Today's severe weather forecast is less certain because we don't have weather balloon data to confirm the strength of jet stream winds aloft.

This is extremely frustrating, and is the result of logistical, organizational, political and budgetary decisions.

The number of Spencer Pratt voters is pretty mortifying lol. Just the dumbest people in the world live among us

This is a natural phenomenon called regulatory capture.

Recent retiree Greg Bovino traveled to Portugal to attend a Nazi conference, gave an interview citing Nazi general Erwin Rommel as an inspirational figure, and wore his regulation SS haircut.

When is it ok to start calling them Nazis? Or is that still too polarizing?

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

if nazis are marching in your parade, it’s a nazi parade. democrats participated in a nazi parade.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

There is no world in which this is okay.  

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 

His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated. 

If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself. 

This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it. 

The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next. 

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW. 

Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. This is insane. Republicans are voiding elections that have already happened to change the maps to get the results they want. They're dismantling democracy.

[Sridhar Ramesh @RadishHarmers]

The defining principle of our society is that people who were lucky during the dot com boom or Web 2.0 should have vast and ever-growing individual power over the entire world. The only acceptable check on their power is their squabbles with each other.

@RadishHarmers I'd studied some math describing the spherical cases when that 3b1b lecture released, but lacking a formal education in calculus makes intuiting these relationships tricky.

Fascinated to learn about this general formula

@RadishHarmers You're a legend! I'll read into this soon
