No, it makes sense that someone who plays and enjoys hockey has such little knowledge and yet animosity towards basketball. The exceptional thing about Wemby is that he’s doing things people his height usually can’t. Being too tall in the NBA is often a detriment, especially in the small ball era.

Hilarious to call basketball a DEI sport when hockey is just a sport for rich white kids.

He hasn’t let up on American Christians since he became Pope
Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

Teacher here:

Teachers absolutely DO NOT need AI to make their jobs easier.

We need good high-quality curriculum (costs money)
We need resources and supplies (costs money)
We need smaller class sizes (costs money)

We don't need AI slop substituting for any of that.

It’s also this pretense that the man hasn’t been charged and convicted of sexual crimes as well. The man has a whole Wikipedia page about his sexual misconduct stemming from the 70s.
I’ve heard most journalists and politicians say that Trump hasn’t been directly accused of wrongdoing or implicated in the Epstein Files.

But, there are repeated instances of Trump being directly named as a perpetrator—by victims and by Epstein. It’s not circumstantial, it’s direct.

Another collection of newsroom buzzwords slopped together not to actually explain what happened, but to mollify the enlightened centrist audience that it would inevitably be leaked to
New Bari Weiss & CBS leadership note to staff—

“…Americans say they do not trust the press…To win back their trust, we have to work hard.”

“Sometimes it means telling unexpected stories…sometimes it means holding a piece about an important subject to make sure it is comprehensive and fair.”

I hate that when AI is wrong people are like "But isn't it amazing that it thinks it's right?" but when I fuck up my taxes it's "a crime." Hypocrisy much?

I’m not gonna watch the CECOT segment because I know it’s going to be horrific and I’m already horrified every moment of every day but I’m very glad it’s out there, it’s important that it’s out there, and it’s gonna hold CBS accountable for any changes they make to it and that’s a very good thing.

Same goal as AI: control information sources, pollute them so no one knows what's real, then you can't have democracy anymore.

On the contrary, a majority of voters will choose a strongman offering them a lifeline of fake cognitive security amidst the fog of the unreal created by media & AI czars.
it's odd to see the people who can accurately assess Bari Weiss isn't a good journalist and failed upward into her role as chief brunchlord, but can't take the additional leap to realize this is part of an active plot by extraction class media ownership to actively destroy journalism and consensus

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months.

It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.
This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.

And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.

Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

Men in masks — in a woman’s restroom. Isn’t that worse than what we were warned would happen if trans people were allowed to pee?
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

It’s pretty sinister. The companies behind dating apps expressly don’t want users to find long-term relationships. If we find love, we use the apps less AND give them less of our data. 👀
I forgot most of these dating apps are pay to play. Capitalism gon have everybody lonely lmao

Supervising professor: “she didn’t do the assignment”

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

An interesting thing about reading all the Heated Rivalry press like I did with Crazy Rich Asians is seeing the differences in profiles and features. It's apparent which ones clearly understand the cultural impact, demand for romance, and lightning-in-a-bottle moment, while others fall short.

In 2021, Elon Musk said he would end world hunger. The UN told him it would cost approximately $6 billion.

Elon donated $5.7 billion to his own foundation but never gave the money directly to the UN.

Since, Musk’s worth increased by $500 billion plus a $1 trillion bonus.

Problem never solved. 🌍
