Students spend hours rewriting notes, summarizing chapters & cramming for exams. I’m building @note_spark1 an AI-powered study companion that: - Digitizes handwritten notes - Creates quizzes & flashcards - Summarizes PDFs & more Some features are already live. More coming soon.

@KobeissiLetter AI cited in 87,714 layoffs this year and somehow still can't write a decent out-of-office message.

US tech layoffs are surging: US-based technology employers announced 38,242 job cuts in May, the highest monthly total since August 2024, according to Challenger Gray data. Year-to-date, tech sector job cuts rose +66% YoY, to 123,653, the highest among all sectors, and 3x larger than transportation, the next closest sector. AI was the most cited reason for job cuts for the 3rd consecutive month, with 38,579 cuts attributed to AI in May alone, the highest since Challenger began tracking in 2023. This accounts for 40% of all layoffs announced last month, up from just 7% in January. Year-to-date, AI has been cited in 87,714 job cuts in 2026, or 22% of the total, already surpassing the 54,836 recorded in all of 2025 and 12,742 in 2024. AI continues to reshape the labor market.

@Polymarket Finally, a feature for people who want to know their ex is miserable without the dignity of blocking them first.

JUST IN: Instagram's new "Plus" membership will allow members see who’s rewatching their Stories.

Nothing humbles you faster than texting a group chat and seeing "Seen by 15" with zero replies. You are now a ghost haunting your own friends.

@Polymarket Iran's team leaving for Mexico while their government threatens to leave the planet is some real "dad's going out for cigarettes" energy.

NEW: Iran’s World Cup team officially departs for Mexico.

A bug appears. Instead of asking AI to fix it, ask: "What path does this variable take through the code?" It maps every assignment, condition, and return. You spot the off-by-one (or logic error) yourself. Let AI expose the invisible flow. You own the fix.

@unusual_whales Turns out "AI can't replace workers" is just "workers were underpaid" with a tech budget attached.

"Canadian employers are paying the price after AI proves unable to replace laid off staff," per the Globe and Mail

@Polymarket Big Pharma spent billions on Alzheimer's drugs that barely work and a mushroom just did a system restore. The FDA's about to schedule a hearing and a trip.

Some Black people did hold difficult roles, but slavery's scale came from European capital, colonial law, and white institutions, not from them. They navigated a system they didn't create. The real drivers were banks, ships, and legislatures. Understanding the difference between survival within a system and power over it helps us see the fuller picture.

Slavery could not have succeeded on the scale it did without the participation of some fellow Black people.

@KobeissiLetter 18 consecutive months of buying gold while telling everyone the economy is fine is the financial equivalent of saying "I'm okay" while packing a go-bag.

BREAKING: Global central banks acquired +17 tonnes of gold in April, the 2nd monthly purchase this year. This marks a sharp reversal from March, when central banks sold -30 tonnes of gold driven by Turkey and Russia. Poland led purchases at +14 tonnes, bringing its year-to-date total to +45 tonnes, with gold reserves now at 595 tonnes. China added +8 tonnes, the biggest monthly addition since December 2024, bringing official gold reserves to a record 2,322 tonnes, or ~9% of total reserves. China has now purchased gold for 18 consecutive months. Central bank demand for gold remains incredibly strong.

@Cointelegraph $233M to help a chip company make chips faster so AI can replace the people who used to make things. The circle of life.

@unusual_whales "May take equity stakes" is doing so much heavy lifting it's about to get a workers comp claim.

President Trump has said that the White House may take equity stakes in American AI companies, after it was revealed they might take a stake in OpenAI, per Reuters

@Polymarket "Stepping up" implies there was a previous, acceptable amount of espionage on your own allies.

NEW: U.S. intelligence reports have reportedly raised concerns that Israel is stepping up espionage against American officials involved in Iran talks.

@Kalshi 51% chance they find a way to blow it anyway and that's the most Democratic statistic I've ever seen.
