Large group of customers saw the FBI at this pizza joint and noped the fuck out. A few other people seemed to steer clear as well. Has to be terrible for business.

A staffer on Stephen Colbert's show wanted to ask the first ever Muslim candidate for mayor in the history of New York City to play a game of thumbs up, thumbs down about an ongoing genocide.

“Military occupation doesn’t make our city safer. Resources and investment makes our city safer.” thank you Bri and all the other protestors who took the time to speak with me last night in Chicago.

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.

With Eric Adams out of the race, Cuomo's gaining ground, pulling 33% support from NYC voters, per a new Quinnipiac poll. That compares to the 23% he pulled last month when Adams was still in.

Regardless, Cuomo remains well behind Mamdani, who's got 46% support, per the new poll.

Netanyahu's mouthpiece, Amit Segal, casually admits on Twitter that his country has been holding 1,700 people from Gaza hostage, including children.
Among other things, according to the decision:

- 250 security prisoners will be released.  
- 1,700 residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre will be released.  
- 22 minors under the age of 18, residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre, will be released.  
- 360 bodies of terrorists will be returned.

Cannot think of a more appropriate way for any central Pennsylvanian to go out in 2025 than being accidentally shot to death by a pastor wearing a Dan Flashes shirt.

I don’t usually cover breaking news, but this story is truly wild.

A pastor in central PA brought an AR-15 to church and pointed it at people during his sermon. Gun safety experts and internet commentators are, predictably, not happy!

In a move experts called a serious safety violation, he pointed the unloaded weapon at churchgoers, while asking for a 'violent action of faith.'

The current paradigm of "AI"— all of its, e.g., embedded values, design, cultural deployment, & structural affordances— has been repeatedly demonstrated to harm both critical skills development & the structure & maintenance of the relational social fabric.

That sounds pretty anti-pedagogical, to me

“One of the negative consequences AI is having on students is that it is hurting their ability to develop meaningful relationships with teachers, the report finds. Half of the students agree that using AI in class makes them feel less connected to their teachers.”

The actuality of lost jobs and a reliable news source aside, these people really do keep giving us reasons to not feel as bad about the NPR funding cuts as we otherwise would.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

For the normal people in the room, you should probably know this shit is a hit with neo-Nazis. The 14-year old Groyper you know has more space in his head for circumcision conspiracies (all of which blame the Jews) than you have space in your head for your cousins' first names.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

The Trump Action Tracker is a British academic’s answer to Trump “flooding the zone” with anti-democratic and anti- rule of law behaviours.

It’s a one-stop-shop for logging thd lot. And the neta-analysis of what is happening is very enlightening… darkly.
