Mamdani is so good at not only deciphering but also explaining! Do watch/listen to this. Check out the thread here as well. I often wondered how/why Rob Ford managed to rise so high politically.

Florida's gift to the national political discourse. We don't have really big rocks here for people to crawl out from under. Joe emerged from a particularly thick and slimy green algae bloom causally related to his party's big $$ friendly policies.

Microsoft exec called AI scraping ‘the largest theft of labor in human history,’ new unredacted filings reveal
Newly unsealed court filings show Microsoft privately called OpenAI's data practices "theft" while both companies scraped paywalled Times content, built datasets from it, and warned internally it would gut publishers.

Total BS, buck-passing to shift responsibility for the rising cost of fuel, particularly diesel, from his own reckless, idiotic decision to start a war with Iran to Ukraine, which is the victim of Putin's psycho aggression defending itself quite strategically and effectively.

I have thousands of clients whose sole source of income is social security. Without it they can’t buy food, pay rent or take care of other basic needs. They literally couldn’t survive without it. Of course, Howard Lutnick-being a MAGA billionaire-could care less about taking away their benefits

No more "ripeness" issue available to argue now that the USPS has finalized its rule. The focus will be on the blatant unconstitutionality of the USPS deciding which mail to deliver to your door. Think about that and the precedent it would set apart from the election meddling. Boggles the mind.

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️

Supreme Court, 6-3, hands a provisional win to Trump over his effort to exert control over mail-in ballots, but lots of questions remain about whether the underlying proposal is lawful, as majority concedes. Plus a nationwide injunction in a different case remains in effect, for now,.
