Jesus fucking Christ the pilot just told us the reason things are so fucked up on the runway is that only one air traffic controller is working right now
He also says Delta is fucking up and not listening to the controller. The shade of it all 💅

This Frontier flight is delayed and also chaos. Everyone is swearing they'll never fly Frontier again
They have not achieved enlightenment. They have not become one with the dysfunction. They will never master the art of the $15 flight with a week's worth of clothing inside a personal item

🧵Earlier this summer, the @sfchronicle.com dispatched me to Los Angeles to cover the protests against ICE's immigration raids. After I got back, I was curious to see how those raids were affecting Bay Area residents.

How Trump’s immigration crackdown created a climate of fear in this Bay Area city
President Trump’s immigration crackdowns have many people afraid in a Bay Area city where nearly half of the 115,000 residents are Latino and a third are foreign-born.

and that's just the "nice" ones. The rest have gone full fascist. Sure, there are communities of people of color, of queer folks, different marginalized groups — and they're all cooked, too. In between their conversations, they're steeping in pure hate and can *never* escape seeing Musk propaganda.

everybody who stayed on that site has had their brain fully cooked. you see it in a million ways. they use the r-slur. they casually joke around with folks who don't hide their affinity for race science. they don't even flinch at nazis in their timeline, don't bother to block the spammers anymore...
I wonder how much being on Twitter/X has influenced the management, editors, and senior journalists in the NY Times. They have all drifted rightward since the Pandemic & Musk's takeover, as their feeds are filled by the algorithms with RW propaganda & opinion.

I don’t really care what this place is or isn’t. Alls I know is it’s been great for the business of The Onion and that both Zuck and Musk have experience cooking and/or hiding the books on their own traffic. Doesn’t really matter if there are more page views if they’re not real people.
Both X and Threads have far more users than Bluesky. But X is a Nazi pit and Threads is exceptionally boring—and if you're looking to drive traffic, Bluesky outperforms both. So don't feel anxious that you're missing out by using this smaller platform. If you enjoy it, happily continue to do so.

The President is laser focused on helping manufacturers win business from abroad, which he is why he is pushing the price that Americans factories pay for the copper they use in wiring, motors and more, to be 27 percent higher than their British rivals pay.

The unamerican climate of fear Trumpism has managed to create in corporate America hovers over lots of stories but, by its intrinsic nature, does not get directly reported as the extraordinary news it is.
Seeing a lot of posts on here tonight questioning why any organizations stay on X after Grok went on an antisemitic posting spree. Remember, Trump’s FTC is investigating watchdog groups to determine whether they tried to organize an illegal boycott of X & other conservative websites.
Media Matters is suing the Federal Trade Commission, arguing the agency is infringing on its free speech rights with its investigation into the organization www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/t...

don't forget that as part of his shadow presidency, musk ordained that several federal agencies can only release public info, including emergency alerts, through x. democrats should not only be leaving in droves, but pushing legislation forbidding the exclusive use of proprietary platforms.

right wing sock puppets have been the source of almost all outrage against feminists and leftists for 15 years now, prove me wrong
Even more crucially, "Cindy Steinberg", the woman that Grok spent the morning committing hate crimes against, *doesn't exist*.
It was a sock puppet account used for right-wing bait. The profile photo is ripped off from an Onlyfans model. All it took was a troll post for Grok to go Full Hitler.

Some of my fellow Jews think a college kid wearing a kaffiyeh is a greater threat to their personal safety than an authoritarian government rounding up people to send to torture camps and the world's richest man who made a Nazi AI, and I'm really not sure what to say to them anymore.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

I’ve subscribed to exactly one substack and this is it. I’m a bit wonky, but Chris writes some great summaries and analyses along with his updates on the most “famous” cases in federal court right now.
Update: Law Dork is now just 72 new paid subscribers away from my year three goal. Consider it, if you can! www.lawdork.com/subscribe
OK, folks. Law Dork is 127 paid subscribers away from my year three goal.
Chipping in now would be an amazing way to (a) thank me for my work this year so far, (b) power me through SCOTUS month, and (c) help me to begin year four of Law Dork — which starts on June 21 — strong. Please consider it!
