There must be a ceasefire. Remaining hostages must be returned. The killing of civilians must end. And Israelis and Palestinians must come together to speak about two states on one homeland - the only option for lasting peace and long-term prosperity www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYxC...

I just want to say “thank you” to the people who turned “Discovery Channel” into “Ghosts and Bigfoot” and “The Learning Channel” into “Granite Countertop Propaganda” for being a guiding light* for me as an owner of an educational media company.

We need to make it illegal for AI models to offer advertising. And, we need to really examine referral fees as well.

The last thing we need is to have algorithms designed to maximize revenue driving LLM output and interactions.

We need to have learned our lessons from algos in social media

Thanks to the state of American's political system, China could absolutely beat American back to the moon. I don't want the world to say, "The 20th century was a great American century. The 21st century is the Chinese century."

This moment demands something different: honesty, courage, and a clean break from the past. Not the same old playbook from DC Dem insiders. That didn’t work in 2024, and it won’t work now. #txsen #terryfortexas #politics #txpolitics

Colbert certainly deserves retirement if that's what he wants to do, but it would be really cool to see him do a regular show where he could talk to all sorts of smart people again. @stephencolbert.bsky.social

They scream in their truck selfies about being "alpha males." But real strength doesn't need to be announced.

Too many men in the Trump movement confuse blind loyalty for leadership. They’re not leading—they’re following. And our kids are watching.

When the People fear the Government there is Tyranny, when the Government fears the People there is Liberty.

This administration wants the people to fear them & their secret police. I will fight that to my dying breath.

My loyalty will be to the people of Texas, never to any politician in D.C.

Develop a narrative and repeat it endlessly rather than only fact-checking.

For example, he’s a liar. Call him that and paint the picture by presenting him with his lies—over and over and over again.
Rewording my earlier post.

RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress.

I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good.

If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

Please, please, please don’t let those drones be the only ones Ukraine smuggled into Russia. I hope there’s another 100 containers dotted all around Moscow.

Literally every New Yorker I’ve talked to about it has said they love it.
NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of.

I’m fascinated by scientific breakthroughs that were universally hailed in the moment, like pasteurization, that are now vilified by some people. Is this a uniquely American thing? Anybody written a book about why/how this happens? Like the psychology behind it. I’d love to learn more.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

This is a nice thread about The Onion. Thank you for saying nice things, and I can confirm the premise: If you pay your staff well, and you allow them to do what they're great at, it works better than chasing algorithms. The art is better, the truth is found easier, and—bonus!—the revenue is better.
It isn't a surprise to me that returning to print has made the Onion significantly funnier, but it is a surprise to me how *quickly* it has done so.
