Can’t even. I keep thinking that if she was blonde and blue-eyed, this would have ended years ago. No political capital lost in brown people suffering.

1. I've found a large, AI-driven bot network on X which is posting in support of Trump in the US election. Thread.

Kamala Harris makes her debut on SNL.

Holy shit this article! theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Donald Trump's opposition to “woke” safety standards for artificial intelligence would likely mean the dismantling of regulations that protect Americans from misinformation, discrimination, and worse. wired.trib.al/zZFUXD7

Here is the full report but I’d be curious how the initial tweet travels if you don’t mind sharing it. wired.com/story/facebook…

@Jimuhl4 Eradication

HAMAS dirtbag Sinwar who master minded the grotesque massacre of Israeli women and Children in Oct 7th. Has been confirmed blown into bits of hamburger. No 72 virgins for him🤣 I fully stand with Israel and the total Erratication of Hezbollah Hamas and Ayatollah terrorists

@MoussighiLaw @KamalaHQ Wrong. As always. See below

@KamalaHQ The poster girl of Democratic Supreme Court Justices, the late great RBG, even agreed that Roe got it wrong and the decision belongs with the states. Why don't people understand that the federal government is not supposed to have the power to decide that?!?

Georgia voter: Women are entitled to do what we need to do with our bodies. It’s necessary to save our own lives. Why is the government involved in women's basic rights? Trump: Yeah, I think it's great. For 52 years, they wanted to end Roe v. Wade. We were able to do it

@BronwynHill1 How do you explain the support for Israel’s actions from people across the ME? Asking as a person who grew up in a Muslim nation

@vichygirl @noplaceforsheep Interesting handle, ‘Vichygirl’ 🤣

@noplaceforsheep This BBC news anchor can’t even spit it out …listen to this commentator almost choke on her words as she tries to contextualise the IDF pushing bodies off the edge of buildings…

What exactly is the abuse & discrimination Jewish students are enduring on campuses? The presence of anti genocide protests in itself is not anti semitic, & yet that is the only “offence” referenced in media reports.

In July we asked readers to give their complete attention to a painting for 10 minutes, an effort to consider the value of uninterrupted focus. Nearly 100,000 readers participated, and many liked it so much they wanted to try again. Here's your chance. nyti.ms/3z9NKI2

If you think you have time for “we will sit out and go get it four years from now with a more ideologically orthodox candidate” consider the following: America has fallen so far that even a decade ago the idea of a Trump-Kennedy political alliance offering something dramatically superior to the current Democrat Party would’ve been laughable. Let alone inconceivable. Yet here we are. The clock is ticking….

What I admire most about Joe is his decency, his resilience, and his unshakable belief in the promise of our country. Over the last four years, those are the values America has needed most. I am proud to call him my president, and I’m so grateful to call him my friend.

In less than 12 hours, I've received dozens of emails from former and current students, staff and academics about this article. Thank you to everyone that has reached out, my DMS remain open (but sorry if I don't reply right away). theguardian.com/australia-news…

Every time I see this I tell myself I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry, and then we get that final sudden fortississimo from the choir and orchestra and ... 😭

I cannot wait for the first debate

Great cover

@C_Indy911 🤣

Y’all tried to kill him. Not cool. We were all here for it. We saw it coming. We saw you quietly lament because you failed. When we see you, we can’t UNSEE you no matter how we wish we could. There is nothing you can do to change the trajectory unless you take us ALL down. Your move.

@JohnFetterman Thank you, John

I refuse to join the Democratic vultures on Biden’s shoulder after the debate. No one knows more than me that a rough debate is not the sum total of the person and their record.

@deewatts60 @stormrobinson I’ve written a report on this for Standards Australia - A World Designed by Men for Men

@stormrobinson I know how to change a tire. I can't get the lug nuts off. They don't engineer these things with us in mind.

There was a car with a flat tire at the trailhead today. “That sucks” I thought and started on my run. Passed two Gen-Z chicks coming down the canyon about two miles in. The car with the flat was the only other car at the trailhead so it must be theirs. “That sucks” I thought and kept on about my run. I got back about an hour later and the two chicks are sitting in their car, doors open, all distraught. “Are you alright?” I asked. “Yeah… we’re fine… we’re just… it’s fine” the girl in the driver’s seat replies with wide eyes like I’m definitely a serial killer. It was clearly not fine. “You have a plan to get down?” “Yeah, we’ll call someone.” There’s no cell service for 10 miles in any direction. “Do you have a spare?” I asked. “Uhm, I’m not sure. It’s fine” she replies. It’s a 2016/17-ish Honda HR-V. The spare tire is under the cargo floor. “You do. I can put it on for you if you want.” The two chicks stare at each other. “Uhm… no, that’s ok” the driver says to the passenger in the tone of a question. “You sure? It will take me ten minutes” I said insistently but trying not be a creep. The two chicks stare at each other some more. (They clearly would have chosen the bear.) “Or I can call the ranger when I get down to Pasadena.” The two chicks stare at each other some more. They whisper in girl code. They look me up and down. They stare back at each other. The passenger finally speaks: “uhm, so… would you mind helping us change the tire?” “Yeah, it’s no problem.” I have them open the cargo. They dug out enough hiking supplies to hike the PCT. “You have enough gear to survive out here for a week” I joked. The two chicks stared at each other. They looked at me. They looked back at each other. In girl code they agreed it’s safe to chuckle. “Hehe, yeah” one of them says. By the time I got the car lifted, they had let their guard down a little and thanked me “seriously so so so so much.” They told me they had no idea how to change a tire. They’ve never had to change a tire before but one of them did have a dead battery once in college and had to have her dad drive over an hour to come give her a jump. Ten minutes later, the tire was changed and they seemed genuinely surprised I didn’t kill them. They thanked me again “seriously so so so so much” and assured me that I “have no idea, omg” and then they were on their way. It made realize how much it sucks to be a woman where every man is a threat until proven otherwise. I don’t blame them for being cautious, but I do blame them for venturing into the mountains with $1000 worth of REI products, but no clue how to change a tire. Teach your daughters how to change a tire ffs!
