Hot take but I don’t think politicians should be allowed to cancel events hosted by their primary challengers. Pretty clear abuse of power.

Boarded my flight at DCA National airport. Come to find out, the president of the United States has paused ALL flights because of the UFC fight at the White House.
The air traffic controllers were not warned, nor were the airport staff or travelers.

Coding bootcamps were an effort to flood the market and depress tech wages. AI improves the concept. I think some problems the coding workforce faces could be better handled if development were treated like a trade instead of a badge of being one of God's most specialest geniuses

At some point there has to be an accounting, some kind of comeuppance, for Learn to Code. It's like we told an entire generation to go to barber school and then 5 years later introduced the HaircutBot9000.

My favorite such joke:
Jun 8
old joke: four rabbis are arguing doctrine. its 3 against 1. the odd one out asks God for a sign that he’s correct. it snows. the 3 dismiss it. it thunders. the 3 dismiss it. finally a voice calls from heaven, “hes right”. so one of the rabbis says: “alright, now its 3 against 2”

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer caught on a hot mic talking about the controversial Al data center being built despite overwhelming opposition: "We're used to people saying 'f*ck no!', and then doing it anyway."

Israel just kidnapped a 20yr old Palestinian student, taking her hostage. She won’t be called a hostage & she won’t be reported on in the US bc she’s Palestinian.
Had Palestinian forces took an Israeli civilian hostage — would be front page news in every mainstream media outlet.

🇺🇸 🇵🇸 Sama Safi, a 20-year-old American citizen and honors psychology student at Birzeit University, remains in Israeli detention after soldiers seized her from her family’s home near Ramallah at 3 a.m. on June 2, with lawmakers warning her life is at risk.
Safi, whose family lives in Florida, was taken without charge and transferred to Ofer prison, then to the Moscovia interrogation center in Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society. Her family says she has a chronic condition that causes fevers up to 105°F and requires daily medication and a quarterly injection she travels abroad to receive.
She was one of five Palestinian women detained that week, including two members of the Palestinian women’s national football team. The Israeli military said the women were suspected of “promoting terrorist activities.”
Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Sen. Chris Van Hollen have both demanded her release. “I am really sick and tired of the Israeli government taking American taxpayer dollars and then mistreating Americans,” Van Hollen said. Israel has not told her family or the U.S. embassy where she is being held. Rep. Tlaib said, “Her life is at risk—our government must free her now!”

NYC-DSA released a public statement criticizing Mayor Mamdani's proposal to increase NYPD headcount.
NYC-DSA leadership has been extremely reluctant to publicly criticize Mamdani since he took office, so this is a very big deal. instagram.com/nycdsa/p/DZf0Z…

The sheer scale of a trillion dollars can be hard to comprehend. Let me put it in perspective. You would have to earn a dollar a year for a trillion years straight to have that much money.

to the argument that Spielberg/Lucas ruined the artistry of American movies with blockbusters, i am always reminded about the Seinfeld line about Lewis & Clark discovering the Mississippi: “they woulda found that eventually.”

Judge Johnson has listened to submissions for several hours, but has just ruled (as expected) that the four defendants in the Filton case WILL be sentenced with an aggravating factor of a 'terrorist connection'. There are still various matters to deal with before sentencing and the court continues to sit late.

Very sad. Israelis ran a fake charity purportedly to help children in Gaza that served as “a honeypot: a decoy built to attract people who wanted to help – in this case, by aiding Palestinians – and to take donors' money, their personal data or both.”
Jun 11
2/ And today's scoop:
Fake Gaza charity is linked to the disinfo op in France, which was operated by shadowy Israeli firm haaretz.com/israel-news/secu…
