all these people protesting today in groups of a few dozen on the main streets of small towns in deep red Trump country - where they will absolutely take shit from their neighbors about it at church tomorrow or at work on Monday or next time they go to the grocery store - are braver than the Marines

The Hack: Where David Tennant puts on his Doctor Who voice, only it sounds the volume is turned down slightly, and it's on 0.7x speed. 😇 #TheHack #ITV #DoctorWho

I try not to repost news from Meidas because, and this is important, they click bait and rage bait and honestly I don't think any of us need that shit.

Deep in the article, there are quotes from young liberal staffers too. There is a problem with inflammatory rhetoric on both sides.

I've updated my document that tackles four of the common arguments used to encourage teachers to use AI. I hope this will be helpful to those educators wanting to push back on AI mania.

This Halloween I’m going as the scariest thing of all, emotional intimacy!!! ha ha just kidding I’m prion disease

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

I'm going to choke from laughing so hard at this 😂😂😂 WHERE'S THE LIE

a broken clock may be right twice a day, but you should still throw it out

I'm getting more excited every day for this production!!!

practically a requirement for this administration to be a sex pest

What utter buffoons. I don't have a single shred of faith there will be any consequences, but in another timeline this is career ending.

Manifesting 🙏🏼

I love how Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and #2 in line for the presidency, is always like, “What? News?! I never read or hear anything that happens in the world, anywhere. I’m totally offline. What even is ‘social media’? They play news all day on TV!? Wow! That’s a surprise!”

As I recently wrote, "globalist" has long been a term that antisemites have used to attack and demonize Jews. link.motherjones.com/public/41852...

Part of what’s happened is that as (neoliberalism, if you prefer) our political theory of governance starves one part of the social safety net, people flee to the other parts. Disability claims is, for a lot of people, an onerous, right to get last stop on a train heading for a brick wall.

"Well I'm not a policy maker"

We're currently watching over a century of complex societal issues manifest into the total decay of democracy, then just boiling it down to "it's just a distraction from <insert current thing>". It's very unlikely we'll avert disaster if people can't even accept that this is real and happening.

Pritzker needs to take some sort of demonstrative action against this. But nothing he does will stop this. Still, liberal voters and elected leaders are confronted by the fact that the police are not democratically accountable. They have no interest in protecting you or your rights from the feds.

I know these guys are all dumber than a sack of hammers, but it is fascinating to see the military decide “logistics are gay” in real time

therapist: hey, how've you been? me: not bad! i mean. well. kinda bad. therapist: yeah, no, i saw the questionnaire.

The very predictable effects of Trump’s attacks on SNAP is that more Americans will go hungry. But the Trump administration has a solution for that: it is stopped collecting data on food insecurity. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

If William Rehnquist were in his 20s today, he would 100 percent be an aggressively online Groyper who declines to join his law school's FedSoc chapter because it's "a little too woke" ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/william-re...

I see a lot of discourse suggesting that kids whose parents restrict screens will never be exposed to internet horrors in childhood and will develop a healthy relationship with technology and I gotta say 1. That doesn’t work and 2. It’s creating yet another impossible and unfair parenting standard

Been writing again today.

You could give this man an existential crisis by showing him the bottom half of a muppet

More Michael Sheen content:

he’s so offended that nobody respects him for his war crimes that he’s decided all americans who commit war crimes are fellow travelers whose third eye was opened by firing bullets into tents of women and children and we all just need to accept that war criminals’ ways are higher than our ways.

phrases to use more often, to reduce the likelihood of being swayed by propaganda: - I don’t know - I’m not sure what to expect - that’s not my area of expertise - that’s bringing up some strong feelings I need to sit with before I respond - I don’t understand that explanation - I need a break

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

📣📣📣 THAT PART

Shaun King pivoting right because the left got tired of his grift is hilarious.

Lawdy, I hope there are tapes

find me another Dem that wouldn't be too afraid to do this. seriously.

Seeing a party that abhors vulnerability try to publicly mourn, a very vulnerable thing to do, is like watching a dog trying to drive a car

Once more: the best evidence shows that Tylenol taken during pregnancy is not harmful. **This question is settled.** The benefit of reducing discomfort and fever is extremely important at a time when the fetus is developing.

Am the daughter; can vouch! Absolute crickets 😂

You should all replace your cancelled Disney+/Hulu subscriptions with a @dropout.tv subscription btw :))))

Evangelicalism is lowkey tragic because biblical literalism robs them of appreciating any of the bible on a literary or thematic level.

FAIR Fund Chicago provides book vouchers so every student attending school book fairs—hosted by @bookieschicago.bsky.social can choose books freely, confidently, and without exception.We remove cost as a barrier to literacy, ensuring every student walks away with stories they’ve chosen themselves.

Another way to put it is: they are obsessed with the idea that with enough repression and punishment, they can create their peaceable kingdom--on the corpses of their enemies and the corpse of the US Constitution. Behind that is the fantasy that a wholly homogenous USA can be created....

I remain convinced that Disney is so paranoid about a repeat of the evangelical boycott, which didn't end until they wanted to see the Narnia movies, that they've been making business decisions based on avoiding a repeat that they didn't think about people who aren't evangelicals getting mad

If this keeps up we're all going to be so bored we're going to start reading books and talking to each other in person.
