SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE

Hear that? Neither do we. On Monday, the president held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new White House helipad, during which the audio was indecipherable, leading a Newsmax reporter to speculate that the reason might be the absence of the usual television press pool.

The way you should look at this is that it's effectively a boycott by the other 4 major networks -- including Fox News -- to provide television coverage of any White House events until CNN is restored access. As we know, if there is one thing Trump loves more than anything else, it's to be on TV.

The TV pool networks won't provide coverage today: "Effective today, the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the President. This follows the White House's position preventing CNN from fulfilling its assigned pool duties. There will be no replacement pool put in place."

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The response in Israel to Naza is beyond unhinged. Mobs have shown up at the house of co-director Rachel Szor's family. All over social media the directors are being branded traitors and "not Jews". There is a frenzy of incitement to violence against them online www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

With just under one month to go until the next No Kings, there are already more than 1,000 events on the map. That means October 17 will be the largest early vote activation in American history. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Total unscientific nonsense spread via the media as a means of pretending they are doing some bastardized form of recursive self-improvement. Takes a lot to make me dislike a company more than OpenAI but Dario truly has taken the lead

i was aware how weird and dumb the "rationalists" and their satellites were thanks to @iwriteok.bsky.social and aware how weird and dumb the folks in the AI industry thanks to @edzitron.com. now i'm aware that the latter are almost entirely a subset of the former thanks to this podcast episode.

“The rule threatens to disenfranchise millions of elderly voters, disabled voters, military voters, and all others including the most vulnerable who depend on mail voting, in both red states and blue. This disenfranchisement risk is literal, not hyperbolic.”

This headline is sending me

The Irish musician Aaron Rowe has said he is withdrawing as a support act on Ed Sheeran’s tour.

wow. with this announcement, all of ed sheeran's openers for this tour have pulled out:

Every half-ass plan for our extinction that they provide just turns me on. No internet, you say? No online banking?? No 2FA to use the bathroom at my job??? Baby I was a latchkey kid in the 1980s. You’re describing my platonic ideal. Extinct me.

Beautiful excerpt from Klein & Taylor's new book. Reading this along with Wendell Berry & Kingsolver's essay. Heartening & smart.

We are being blitzed by AI everything not because it is good, not because it works or is accurate, but because it seems cheaper to have robots than to have people. The existential threat posed by these machines is not that they will wake up, but that they will destroy society by cutting us out

If I hired a research assistant who provided wrong answers confidentially as often as the AI overview presented by search, I would fire them.

What we call AI isn't intelligent and it doesn't have opinions. It doesn't guess answers, it is a complicated autocomplete. It does not work.

For years, the industry has argued that you can't prove which company caused which disaster. A new study says otherwise.

Dolly Parton knew what it was like to struggle as she fought for working families her whole career. From providing free books to kids to giving working women our "9 to 5" anthem, she was an icon and an inspiration. Rest in power to our union sister. We will always love you.

400 library workers begin their strike Monday after endless months of trying to negotiate with management. Already the anti-union propaganda machine is calling the library workers entitled. The LIBRARY workers. You don't staff the desk at the free stuff store because you're greedy.

This guy is peddling the same tired “it’s just like the dot com bubble” talking points that you only draw on if you have no real interest in reality. He’s also the guy who wrote the infamous “advice to a poor black kid” blog. Legendary dipshit

Spider-Man vs. White Supremacy, y'all! 🤣 Psst...Spidey won.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.
