David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

These are American struggle sessions, meant not to spread ideas or foster debate (obviously) but instead meant to grind the populace into a numbness as awful things are said from powerful platforms.
the thing about commentators who self-brand as fearless truth-tellers is that their ideals of "free debate" always take the dullest, most predictable tacks possible www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Her name should be tied to this bill forever.
Republicans have hit a new & disgusting low with Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill that would put parents & doctors in jail for providing gender affirming healthcare.
Trans kids deserve support, love, & care that affirms their needs, not cruel, despicable attacks on their existence.

The design profession has been pushing the "just another tool, like Photoshop" since early days, while also claiming there is some craft to using AI. It may have been more naive than disingenuous but at this point, designers need to sober up. #design
This really is a must read for anyone in academia.

Truly, Democrats have to insist that all flavors of anti-immigrant policy—including opposing birthright citizenship—are GOP policy. There can be zero "well the country is moving in this direction…" bullshit. The *country* isn't anti-immigrant. Democrats have to stop talking like Republicans.

I worked for Frank Gehry. Because of him, I went to The Simpsons Halloween party, had a key to the Disney Concert Hall, met amazing artists. Frank was wonderful to me. When I left his office, he said you'll do big things, just try to stay out of politics. Sorry, Frank. Your memory is a blessing ❤️

Every morning I take the dogs for a walk in the woods. There's a certain fallen tree trunk we always cross and it's become a measure of how Silas is doing with his arthritis and general mobility. Some days he misjudges it and lands on his butt. Some days he's unstoppable!

"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.
