Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything.

Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

man, I know valorizing politicians is a fool's game but I really do like her a lot

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · 8d

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Been stuck here for two hours and counting, and I can’t stop thinking about the 30 Rock ep where Liz and Carol the pilot break up bc he won’t go back to the gate…

I’m sitting on a plane that can’t take off bc there’s something wrong with the cockpit computer system, and they just turned off power to the whole plane—we’re at the “try turning off and back on” stage of things, which really doesn’t inspire confidence

Oh this video is the funniest, most illuminating thing ever created by human kind? Too bad, what a shame I’ll never see it

Lilly Dancyger @lillydancyger.bsky.social · 9d

If there’s any information out there that’s only available in video form, I will simply never learn it. I am at peace with this.

Most business leaders have moved on, believing that Mamdani will win and that it is time to create relationships with him.

The Business Freakout Over Mamdani Peters Out, Mostly

A few diehards are still trying to stop the democratic socialist, but with polls showing him likely to prevail, most business leaders are getting ready for a new regime and even offering praise.

In my History & Film classes I talk about the Robin Hood paradigm, where new RH movies/shows come out during times of economic crisis & government mistrust, and Law & Order-type shows in times of prosperity. If L&O is framing ICE as Bad Guys rather than Good Cops, nobody thinks they're the heroes.

Mark Harris @markharris.bsky.social · 11d

Catching up with the 27th (!) season premiere of Law & Order: SVU. The villain is ICE. When you have lost the Dick Wolf universe, you have truly lost the center.

Just a reminder that if you enjoy a book, please leave a quick review on Amazon or Bookshop dot org, or wherever. Even if it's only a sentence, it really, really helps get the word out to other readers.

okay so listen is the reason the rapture isn't happening today because it's the pub day for HERETIC: A QUEER REVOLT AGAINST EVANGELICALISM, EMPIRE, AND THE LIES WE ARE SOLD? no. but like. what if it was.

One of the many, many strange things about these times we're living in is that they have this atheist Jew wishing that the rapture and hell were real, so these people would disappear or at least get what they deserve someday

As a reminder, this is great, but withholding spending without saying *why* is less effective than a short email to customer service.

If you’re cutting your Disney spending plans, take a minute to tell them why, otherwise they might think it’s bc they haven’t had Mickey take a knee for Kirk.

I'm seeing people deciding to let their season passes to Disney's theme parks lapse, which might be the thing that ultimately gets the company to regain its spine
