@samtlevin.bsky.social did a really lovely profile and interview with Miss Major in June of 2023:

"Her doormats say “Welcome bitches”, “Fuck off”, “Come back with a warrant” and “Home, where the ho & me come together”."

“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.”
Rising Use of AI in Schools Comes With Big Downsides for Students
A report by the Center for Democracy and Technology looks at teachers' and students' experiences with the technology.

Mike Johnson said he would swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva "as soon as she wants." His office then backtracked — saying Johnson would only swear in the duly elected Grijalva once the government reopens. Grijalva won her special election more than two weeks ago.

This is almost as bad as the infestation NYC saw in the 1970s, in which violence would often break out between the Baseball Furies and the Gramercy Riffs or you'd be caught in a rumble between the Lizzies and the Boppers. Terrifying times.

Exclusive: The Pentagon has investigated nearly 300 Defense Department employees for online comments after the death of Charlie Kirk.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's order to target those critical of Kirk reflects deepening alarm over his stewardship.
Hegseth’s sprawling hunt for Charlie Kirk critics spans nearly 300 investigations
The inquiry, resulting in a smattering of disciplinary action so far, follows an extraordinary directive aimed at silencing criticism of the slain activist and Trump supporter.

Why are your healthcare costs higher?
Why is your electricity bill tripled?
Why is everything you buy so much more expensive?
Why are your neighbors gone?
Why can’t your mom get a cancer treatment?

America was born of two traditions: no kings and white supremacy.

They’re fundamentally incompatible. But the latter always was compelled to present some allegiance to the former. And it turns out that was the only glue holding us together?

NEW: Justin Pearson of the "Tennessee 3" is challenging Rep. Steve Cohen.

There's an age dynamic: Cohen is 76, Pearson is 30.

And an ideological one: Cohen left CPC last year + is pro-Israel. Pearson says war in Gaza is a "genocide."

Freida Parton says she did not mean to scare anyone when asking for prayers for her older sister, Dolly:
Freida Parton “I want to clear something up. I didn't mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She's been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference.”
