Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.
No interruptions, please. Weβre building universal child care.
We donβt talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"
Holy shit! This is a whole ass shit show. This is an American woman living in the UAE. My country is being run by complete imbeciles right now. Not to mention how badly theyβre lying to us with little amount of information they are putting out. Iβm just ashamed. #TrumpsEpicFailure
So I guess it was either World War III or drag queens reading books to our children.
On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.
Just another day/reminder of how βthe richest and most powerful nation in the worldβ cannot do mass transit.
We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and weβre doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Per @pabloreports.bsky.social β Nashville Noticias reporter Estefany Rodriguezβs husband says they βdonβt know where she isβ after she was grabbed by ICE.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich donβt create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people β and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.
A budget is a moral document.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
This reminds me of the time Kim Kardashianβs Skims tried to trademark the word βkimono"
I know I sound crazy but instead of spending a billion dollars in a day to kill people in another country we should try spending a billion dollars in a day to help people in this country.
Yesterday I read an interview with the singer in a punk band who uses GenAI to help with writing his texts.
Punk. The whole point of punk was that if you know how to play 3 cords badly and have something to say just fucking go for it.
kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it
The USL players deserve professional standards for their professional talent, and itβs time for the USL to deliver.
The players are ready to strike and fight for what they deserve. USL: do the right thing and bargain for a fair contract now.

The U.S. war on Iran is estimated to have already cost taxpayers over $2 billion dollars.
You couldnβt make this up.
And if you did, everyone would say itβs too much.
Donald Trump ran on a platform of no more wars.
But hereβs the reality: no president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Frances Perkins (born Fannie Coralie Perkins; April 10, 1880 β May 14, 1965) served as the U.S. Secretary of Labor from 1933 to 1945, the longest serving in that position, and the first woman appointed to the U.S. Cabinet.

Adter seeing "Sinners" I had to kick myself for not giving Wallace a twin brother.
Very proud to watch his journey.
CBS News writers belong to our union, the Writers Guild of America East. The stories we hear from our journalist members there are horrendous, but at least their rights as workers are protected.
CNN writers are not covered by a union. I am so worried for them.
The world can be so icky but at least we have art. I am grateful for the painters, the photogs, the quilters, and the writers here. You make it all better.β€οΈ
*cat and dog pics count as art.
Paramount's new offer amounts to $31 a share for the entirety of Warner Bros. Netflix had previously offered $27.75 for only the studio and streaming portions of the company. Crucially, Netflix did not want to acquire Warner Bros.' linear television channels, which include CNN, TBS and the Food Network. Included in Paramount's offer are a series of sweeteners meant to demonstrate its willingness to put its money where its mouth is. If the deal doesn't close by Sept. 30, Paramount will pay Warner Bros. shareholders 25 cents a share every day β referred to as a ticking fee β until it does. If the deal is killed because of regulatory matters, Paramount will pay Warner Bros. $7 billion. Paramount will also cover the $2.8 billion termination fee Warner Bros. would owe Netflix for backing out of their previously agreed-to deal.
lol it's built into the warner bros deal that ellison has to pay the breakup fee β so he's literally handing netflix $2.8 billion just to walk away. (what would be REALLY funny is for like the EU to kill the deal and put him on the hook for another $7B.)
Fox News miraculously rediscovered the Epstein story.
