This is important
I only needed to read the headline to know @sulliview.bsky.social was dead on. When she called the coverage of Trump “stenography” I said to myself “yep.” And I applauded when she outlined 3 changes on how to respond to Trump.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

Purdue is no longer a serious institution
Signaling their bold new commitment to AI, Purdue is changing its mascot from the Boilermakers to the Bullshitters.
It’s been fun while it lasted: “Purdue University will begin requiring that all of its undergraduate students demonstrate basic competency in artificial intelligence starting with freshmen who enter the university in 2026.”

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

✅⚖️ Thanks for your leadership, Senator. #ruleoflaw #abregogarcia
Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again.
This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.

Nate Silver never had his finger on the pulse of anything but it's wild how cooked the dude's brain is. Yeah, sure, Heather Cox Richardson is just as bonkers as the most extremist GOP members of Congress. Totally reasonable point of view there, Nate.
