What if those weird ink blots aren't actually Rorschach tests but that's just what most people see when they look at them

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

Even as a younger artist springsteen always felt like a midlife crisis to me. I'll give him nebraska simply because it feels like one of the few times he's ever had something sincere to say, but the rest of his catalog is pop music for dads that think bad company is too spicy

Had to endure an AI prescription phone tree today that only wanted me to talk to it instead of offering the keypad alternatives. I typed in my birthdate, assuming that would work, and it reversed the month and day and got the year wrong. When I tried to retype it told me it couldn't understand that

RFK jr: a pregnant woman at Columbia medical school was on tiktok making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me!

Trump:
The baby looked at you?

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Absolutely love these stories and hope we do eventually get more. It's hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to I might say the sworn sword. As exhausted as I am with irl lost causers, Ser Eustace has the potential for an astounding guest performance

Bluesky’s Trust & Safety team has somehow managed to become more restrictive & hostile towards marginalized people than a platform owned by a literal neonazi.

Starting my day by giving google feedback on their AI search results, "turn this AI shit off, no one fucking wants it"

The best part is the email response telling me my feedback, "turn this AI shit off, no one wants it" is now being reviewed, and they'll be in touch.

Two years of genocide in Gaza today, a joint Israeli-American war crime that persists in spite of massive resistance at the domestic and global levels

Ending the occupation remains the moral imperative of our time and we are not free until every last Palestinian is free, from the river to the sea 🇵🇸
