Before you enjoy your patriotic feelings about the US on the 4th of July, listen to Prof Eddie Glaude explain what it has meant to Black people. #ChunderRoad https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/articles/the-fantasy-of-america-at-250

Wow, this seems like an even worse idea than the drone that flies around in your house listening to everything you say. #Privacy #AI https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/05/robot-training-startup-will-send-humans-wearing-cameras-to-clean-your-home/

This is pretty neat. Wish I could&#39;ve been there, a thing I seldom say about concerts by rock superstars. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/05/30/ringo-starr-embraces-and-transcends-time-and-nostalgia-at-rousing-san-diego-concert/

Wait a minute: if Ka$h is polygraphing his staff to find out who leaked about his excessive drinking, it must be true that he drinks to excess, right? https://www.ms.now/news/kash-patel-ordered-polygraphs-of-more-than-two-dozen-members-of-his-team-sources-tell-ms-now

@dcdeejay@mastodon.online I totally agree, but look at the way otherwise sensible and sophisticated computer users give it all up to Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

Laura Poitras has a documentary about Seymour Hersh on Netflix called "Cover-Up." I can't recommend it enough.

@uastronomer Maybe someone told Musk that Mars has no magnetosphere and that everyone who goes there would be zizzed by cosmic rays if they ever went outside.

This guy was standing by himself on #MarineStreetBeach this morning. I got as close as I dared, not wanting to scare either one of us if he were wounded. When I came back up the beach a few minutes later he was flying a bit, so okay I guess. Another peli was floating out in the water, maybe a companion or mate.

RE: https://mstdn.social/@Free_Press/116223718340027628 You can make people live in the close confines of warships for 6-9 months, but it isn&#39;t really a good idea; their effectiveness decreases. But a whole brigade of infantrymen on three ships can&#39;t sit there for too long, or bad things will happen.
