@cd_slash_x@haroon@khoslaventures@rabois@Replit@amasad@vkhosla Honest assessment:1) internet & algorithmic addiction bends the brain 2) cognitively, being ultra wealthy means life is a series of your own preferences & that is cognitively akin to being kicked in the head by a donkey - daily.
BREAKING: Supeme Court allows Alabama to use congressional map that eliminates one of the state’s 2 majority Black districts.
Justice Sotomayor is right— ruling “disregards both democratic values and the rule of law.”
This is a shameful and treacherous moment in our democracy
Respectfully, the recent record suggests otherwise.
The ongoing #measles outbreak, the delayed response to #hantavirus, he limited U.S. engagement during the current #Ebola PHEIC , and the lack of preparedness for #WorldCup all raise important questions about whether public health threats are being addressed with the urgency they require.
Preparedness and response are measured by actions, not statements.
@ElvinBen@EricMGarcia Oh! Ugh! I didn’t hear about all of that. As a California voter, I am inundated with gubernatorial race politics, but I always liked her and Abdul. This makes me feel sad to hear. Well, then this news is welcome!
NEW YORK – Far-right Israeli ministers, including Bezalel Smotrich, were among a record-size delegation of Knesset members marching Sunday in the annual Israel Day Parade in Manhattan, as thousands lined Fifth Avenue to take part in and watch the event.
The parade took place under heavy security, the "most extensive" in its history, according to New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, and against a politically charged backdrop after years of Israel's wars in Gaza and Lebanon, divisions within New York's Jewish community, and controversy over the city's Mayor Zohran Mamdani, all of which shaped attention around the march and those participating.
The Israeli delegation was presented as part of efforts to bolster Israel's public image in the United States and as a response to Mamdani, a fierce critic of Israel who has said he will not attend the parade, breaking with a tradition largely observed by New York mayors since 1964.

"Late Kakistocracy" is that phase of democratic decline where the regime starts running out of ppl who will work for it, and so the folks who aren't qualified for their current positions are promoted to even larger positions for which they are even more unqualified
Science gasps for breath. They are removing all the ocean monitors to understand changes in currents and climate, and the excuse is a master class in obfuscation & double speak . (1/2) https://t.co/vs782YbcI3
The quick win for us all on Trump’s cop-beaters slush fund (aka payroll for November election interference thugs) is that a federal judge stayed ANY expenditures from it, even before the crooked Trump administration filed its reply.
The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is less than 10 days away from falling to its lowest level since August 1983- over 15,625 days ago- a level not seen since the SPR's initial fill-up that began in 1977.
BREAKING: we are NOT accepting media reports as proof that the $1.8B slush fund & "settlements" associated with it are dead
