    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&amp;#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

    Laura Poitras has a documentary about Seymour Hersh on Netflix called &quot;Cover-Up.&quot; I can&#39;t recommend it enough.

    @emily_rugburn@lgbtqia.space A documentary about Seymour Hersh, who (among other epic scoops) uncovered the My Lai massacre in the Vietnam War. What&#39;s great about it is the way Poitras gives you so many interesting ways to see a story that&#39;s essentially an old guy spinning yarns.

    @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.

    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&amp;#39;t really a good idea; their effectiveness decreases. But a whole brigade of infantrymen on three ships can&amp;#39;t sit there for too long, or bad things will happen.
