Spoke to a class a Columbia earlier about press freedom and anticipated having to explain what Gawker was but it did not occur to me for even two minutes that I would also have to explain who Hulk Hogan was

How can one manage to believe they are an absolute genius held back only by an unfair world and rotten luck AND believe they are a piece of shit hack who never did anything worthwhile? Our answer is simple: VOLUME.

The Wreck of the Cantor Fitzgerald Howard Lutnick is more Gordon Gekko than Gordon Lightfoot, and he's shipwrecked US-Canada relations while his boss Sundowns. If you could read my mind, you'd know I'd like the Gales of November 2026 to sink them to the bottom of "Lake America." by Maureen Dowd

AI is the lynchpin of the whole political project. It’s the container for the parallel governance they have promised each other. I truly think that they are surprised that people don’t like it…and that they can’t yet wholesale punish everyone for not liking them.

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

This past Saturday, the 2 Line opened up the cross lake connection. There is now a train to get people from one side of Lake Washington to another. It’s also the first train running on a floating bridge IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! I remember voting to fund this back in 2008. This is incredible 😭

I dunno I think neoliberalism’s grand plan of dismantling the welfare state and the social contract and replacing them, respectively, with nothing and nothing created a pretty fertile breeding ground for fascism and this isn’t even particularly controversial anymore.

Seeing people say AI is a tool that helps "working class people become writers" and its such bullshit. The process of learning and skill sharpening is labour, and its telling that there is work to be glamorized (being perceived as a Writer) and labour beneath people (learning to write)

Choose your fighter
A collage of five images, three of which are on the top and two of which are on the bottom. The photos are of, in order: Sean Dunn (the guy who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent), the Master Debater (ultimate debate chad), the guy who taunted ICE on an e-bike in Chicago and got away, the guy who punched Richard Spencer in the face on January 20, 2017, and our most recent hero who punched the guy trying to cause a ruckus at a high school by supporting ICE.

Each of the photos are of them in their “action shots,” if you will. Dunn is in the act of throwing the sandwich, Master Debater is in the midst of saying he would have both to some trolls question about whether he would have economic growth or gender equality, the e-bike guy is in the midst of taunting an ICE agent and biking away, the Richard Spencer puncher is seen right at the moment of making contact with his face, and our latest hero is clasping his hands together and saying “okay” after the troll said he would get in trouble if he punched him in the face.
