You can’t fool me. I’ve watched the #Gophers snatch defeat from the jaws of victory too many times before.

Let’s go, Cats! (The other purple ones)

More cynically, I think this is about creating a permanent underclass that has no choice but to do the tech world’s bidding while sharing in none of the profits. Tech feudalism, basically.

The blazer in the middle flirts briefly with being normal. Everything else is a joke and also absolutely not going to convince anyone boycotting to come back to the store.

Why is this so important to the tech bros anyway? Because they want to pass liability on to the AI model?

Christa Pike was tortured yesterday by the state of TN in every single USians name and the fact is that this is a country that is mostly OK with this. This says everything about all of us. We are all implicated in this barbaric practice. It's sickening.

Bee lab honey is a score for sure.

This just makes me sad. What is the point of any form of education then? How long before people start rejecting math (for example) as a conspiracy by Big Algebra? Is basic literacy/numeracy pointless in a TikTok-led world?

I don’t believe he is, but his broad and factually incorrect assertions make criticism of his views more valid than they would be in a vacuum. And this is like a tiny echo of the discourse around antisemitism in NYC (and elsewhere).

That’s fair. I’m also reacting to this article for a non-obvious reason. He’s been criticized for saying some things against the current Indian government (fair) using some rhetoric that is factually incorrect (unfair). This has led some to believe that he’s anti-Hindu.

Yeah. I’m not suggesting Mamdani’s priors on this topic are not extremely questionable. It’s more that maybe (?) he’s recognized that this is a problem he needs to confront as mayor of NYC, where his opinions on antisemitism actually count vs just saying what he wants as a councillor.

Definitely “this is your brain on drugs” as a part of the whole “just say no” ecosystem.

Yes, I think this is more a thing to be watched cautiously than affirmed, if that makes sense.

The bit I quoted, I mean.

That’s not his turn of phrase, fwiw. It’s Emily’s. I think the larger point is that there are multiple forms of antisemitism and they all need to be confronted?

I’ve been asked to weigh in on the debate over whether to bring an iced coffee to an interview. It doesn't matter. Iced coffee is NOT why it's hard to land a job right now, and it's NOT why Gen Z can't get ahead. Our economy is rigged. We need to change that.

People just write off entire states without thinking about all the people who live there and all the different lives lived. It’s just reductive nonsense.

“And insisting that our understanding of antisemitism always and only adhere to one definition is like insisting that we always and only use a hammer for home renovation. Sometimes that is useful; sometimes that can result in destroying your house.” 🔥

Wrote about how Trump’s tantrums over the Supreme Court reveal the not so hidden subtext of what Republicans expect from the justices. Also a mention of how Supreme Court politics resemble the Calciopoli scandal. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

As is nearly always the case with the president’s accusations, this was an illuminating projection. Trump fears that public pressure on the Supreme Court can sway the justices and how they rule. So when they don’t side with him, he assumes that’s what happened, and he trashes the Court in the hope that it will side with him the next time. He views criticism of the Supreme Court much as he views laws in general: When Trump or one of his allies wants to do something, such as use taxpayer dollars for cultish campaign ads, it’s legal. When his opponents want to do something, it’s illegal
