If this was your boss, you'd call HR. If this was your toddler, you'd put them in time out.
If this was your grandfather you'd have him evaluated.
If this was your client, you'd call elder services.
I truly, truly do not understand how we are here right now. I just can't grasp it.

Anthropic & their platform Claude can't perform basic collating and coordination of documents. The idea that they can be relied on for medical research is beyond laughable. Their "weapon of mass destruction" is more likely to be the impact of their data centers on our environment. They're a joke.

Condolences on your loss 🤍

We're very much aware of this. As a single citizen I can't do much about this. If only there was a collective body, housed somewhere, that represented my concerns and felt compelled to act in some way. Perhaps a leader, not necessarily from the majority, who believed in aggressive, direct action. 🤷🏼‍♀️

His book is fantastic. It's a depressing read, but so important.

That was my first thought. I have no idea who this person even is, or why she's relevant. I'm not saying what she said isn't stupid and terrible, but I'm not quite sure why This is news. Terrible people saying terrible things seems pretty on brand for a large swath of the country.

And younger than all the surviving Beatles. Black and white photos make this feel like ancient history, but it absolutely is NOT.

FREETHROWS WOULD HAVE GOTTEN US BISCUITS.

I was hoping for biscuits but this team is not getting us there.

This is going to be a nightmare. The NOFO that dropped tonight is going to absolutely create more homelessness. The cruelty is the point.

This is gross and I'm sorry.

Here's the really sad thing - I sent this to my family and my college sophomore nibling had no idea what a picket line was. I'm not sure that kiddos these days even know what a strike entails.

Yup. This is entirely bullshit.

For anyone wondering how Germans could've just loaded their neighbors into the train cars, I give you this sociopath.
BU has a med school and a well-regarded school of social work. This sort of behavior is in direct conflict with the mission of both schools. I hope they speak out.

What's the context here?

I haven't. 😐 The number of men - who I'm certain considered themselves 'men of god'- who said that out loud when talking about young girls in public was FAR TOO HIGH where I grew up. I don't know if the South had a particular penchant for this phrase but I heard it FAR too often. Ew, and also, wtf.

I think this is what I find most galling. What gene are they missing; what part of their upbringing skipped empathy and honesty? And how do they not only look at themselves in the mirror, but pretend to parent? This is why I'm agnostic at best - no way a loving God lets this happen. She is pure evil

And this post is reusable, so it's environmentally sound as well! 💚

The basketball coach at UMass is making 2 million, but the mayor of one of America's biggest cities making an eighth of that is somehow "news". Thanks Boston Herald, for reminding me that New England CAN be as racist as the South!

@thatdjspider.bsky.social has always been a gift to the scene in Charlotte (and beyond). She gets a dancefloor moving like nobody else, & brings a mix of deeply dark with just enough whimsy to keep it interesting. I've gone to events all over the country, and she remains one of the best to do it. 🖤

I'm relieved that my alma mater found its spine, and is doing the right thing. Standing up to the absurdity is the only way - capitulation is cowardice, at a time when robust resistance is essential. Be true to your namesakes, Tar Heels, and stick fast to the right side of history!
