"TIMNIT GEBRU: I think that Bernie Sanders is really leading the left astray, and I’ve been extremely disappointed and, in fact, to be clear, shocked, absolutely shocked, by the kinds of people he’s been surrounding himself with and the kind of advice that he’s been getting."

The DA should offer his resignation given his apparent complete indifference about investigating and prosecuting sex crimes. Let someone who actually wants to do the job do it.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million to defeat Prop 40. Their combined wealth in January 2025 was $439 BILLION. By September 2026, it had grown to $722 BILLION. They're accidentally making the case for the billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

Mayor Lurie, Supervisor Mandelman, and the entire DCCC owe Brad Chapin an apology. I will definitely not be voting Mandelman for state assembly given his disgustingly blasé attitude to SA. He did finally unendorse Yekutiel, but only for political expedience under pressure. Too little, too late.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

Not a great shot, but on our full moon hike up into the woods tonight, we happened across these two gaias. I've never seen owls up there during the day, so this was a real treat. Seconds later, they flew away.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

When I was a teenager, I protested outside Dunnes Stores on Henry Street in solidarity with the striking workers. I also got to see Nelson Mandela speak in Dublin when he met with the strikers and was granted Freedom of the City in 1990. Here's the story of why they were striking.

I have no problem with devoting SOME funding and effort to understanding the risk of AI killing us all. But I think it's insane that in 2026, as we're watching AI cause right-now harms to right-now people, that the ethical tech space has been almost entirely taken over by these galaxy-brain fears.

"We were letting actual 8th graders sneak into our wild drug and sex parties at our Silicon Valley AI group house" is the most eyebrow-raising quote among many from that New York Times piece, IMO. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/t...
The house quickly became a hub for events. Eric Zhu, 19, a tech entrepreneur, said he used to sneak into parties there when he was about 13. No one checked anyone’s age, he said, and “it was pretty crazy.”

Today, billionaires yet again bribed, censored, and bullied their way to the top. As a result, a billionaire media company closely allied with the president will soon own one of its closest rivals, including some of the nation’s critical news outlets. Saudi Arabia will co-own those outlets, too.

I remember doing a calculation on the Tuam babies when this news first came out and on average one child died about every other week over the span of many decades. The ones who survived were trafficked by the Church to the US for adoption without the mothers' consent.
