My latest story features Hammaad, an exceptional @MIT/@mitidss grad student whose work on an open database for organ procurement info has already won him an @MITLibraries prize. Much more importantly, it could pave the way to saving many lives every year! news.mit.edu/2024/hammaad-a…

When I watch a tiktok that is an animation of cute little characters snuggling to a silly song, I think "this content was deemed a national security threat by my government and that both makes sense and is fine"

@N7IRL This finally stopped happening to me, I think. I never did figure out what it was.

I need to find a way to remove whatever aura of "works here" that I seem to have, because I have not actually worked in a store since 2013 (and that was only technically 'in' a store since I was on carts past 2011) but keep having people ask where 'I' keep things.

@bluepashminas It seems like this is an open event hosted by a Muslim group, which makes the decision to cosplay here even more bizarre. Did she really infiltrate this event, or did she just like... attend it in an offensive costume? BIZARRE

The official Columbia Jewish Alumni Association is praising a Zionist for infiltrating a gathering of Muslim Americans by wearing a hijab and cosplaying as a Muslim woman. Can you even begin to imagine if the roles were reversed?

@jzux I think we as a society have generally moved on from the idea that wearing black is bad luck in any circumstance, which is great news for whoever is your date to this party

@LadyToriJade omg that is so cute ☺️

@oncloud_e @FemboyYt Soon I'll be a trans knight. Does that count?

love seeing guys in those american flag punisher shirts walking around and just thinking "oh sweet, this dude voted to kill me"

@peteyreplies only if I get in, so my wealth is safe

@focusfronting You can find your future polycule at Trader Joe's

@peteyreplies lol what

@deaneckles I thought you were throwing shade at Atlanta before I watched the video😅

Why doesn't Boston have any Michelin star restaurants, but Atlanta does? youtu.be/-ccVaNWow6E?si…

@mehdirhasan Biden is taking meetings with Israeli leaders to affirm his support while sending billions of dollars in weapons to their military. Calling this "inaction" is delusional liberal propaganda. He is not doing more to stop the suffering in Gaza because he is committed to causing it.

"President Biden's inaction, given the suffering in Gaza, is shameful. I mean there is no other word for it." Democratic Senator @ChrisVanHollen with some very harsh words about Biden & his administration, which looks "so weak" on Israel. Full interview: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-to…

Kamala Harris lost because voters think that Democrats are too woke. The 500 articles we ran about the Oberlin dining hall have nothing to do with any of this.

So you're telling me that you can't be president if you are 34 years old, but you can be president if you committed 34 felonies

IDSS researchers in the MIT Initiative on Combatting Systemic Racism are building an open data repository to advance research on racial inequity in domains like policing, housing, and health care. bit.ly/3NSptdh

@mehdirhasan Hmmm yeah why has the media spent 10x the airtime defending Biden's respect for Republican voters than they have on Trump's promise to point the US military at his political enemies?

Where’s the media and GOP civility police at times like this? Why is Trump consistently allowed to get away with language that no other presidential candidate, Democratic or Republic, in modern American history has been allowed to get away with? Why?

@dieSegenChukfi wow how do you keep the voice tiny and/or in the back of your head

@melnickjeffrey1 Hang on. This woman was totally out of line but that's not what she said. Did this interaction even have anything to do with Gaza? I thought she was yelling at a Trump supporter.

If you yell at a baby in a stroller I think you should be condemned to the most fitting punishment I can imagine: you must listen, for 15 minutes, to that child recount for you the plot of their favorite movie.

@melnickjeffrey1 This song is NOT inspired by a class that I also took at UMass. Allegedly.

Not gonna lie it felt pretty cathartic to yell about slicing up eyeballs with 500 other people last night

I continue to believe that this will never see the light of day. Warner Bros is scheduling tax write-offs in advance or something.

@memilies The real heist is this scene when Julia Roberts steals the entire movie
