Hours before yesterday's shooting, the largest network in the country was actively calling for genocide and extermination live on air. Watching one of the loudest voices that led us here get deified by every major network and publication is heartbreaking beyond words. We're begging you. Wake up.

something I learned today: the term "Cultural Marxism" (the antisemitic conspiracy theory now common among right-wingers) is a direct descendant of a Nazi propaganda term, "Cultural Bolshevism".

TO THE DEPTHS WITH YE

This is a great piece by @unbiasedscipod.bsky.social with helpful tips for addressing COVID misinformation. As a science communicator, my experience is that the best way to win people over is with empathetic real world conversations and it's work we all need to do if we want to turn things around.

This is trans rights, too. There is no viable position for the Democrats other than “trans rights are human rights.” Trying to triangulate a position where you throw trans people under the bus “just a little” to woo swing voters only feeds the right’s argument that trans people are a threat 1/x

the new TWIABP is a work of art that I wish didn't have to be made, but I'm glad someone did. so many vivid images from distant past, & even future, to throw the present in sharp relief. "yell out loud as a weather god, a thunderstorm, an avalanche, an Anzu bird, a bull, a bomb inside a Cadillac" 🎶

*this* is how I found out they're making an I Am Legend 2

The movies don't really get into it, but it's worth remembering that Denethor went crazy because he spent too much time doomscrolling on the Palantír and it cooked his brain

Yes, COVID gave anti-vaxxers a convenient lane to build political power, but it's wrong to heap all the blame for this on the dedicated public health and medical professionals who sacrificed so much to save people's lives.

Guys, I have a special & unusual request today. My cousin Sean is a union bus driver here in Los Angeles who was just FIRED in retaliation for saying he would not let masked ICE agents onto his bus to abduct riders. The fight is on to get his job back, you can help: actionnetwork.org/letters/send...

when I first heard "Then Came to Kill" by The Chariot, I went "that sounds like Hayley Williams." then I thought "c'mon man, not every female singer in 2000s punk sounds like Hayley Williams." then I looked it up & went "oh no that really is Hayley Williams"

The NL West is incredible, 4 out of 5 teams have a positive run differential but the combined run differential is -200 thanks to the Rockies

'oh no new York might get a socialist mayor!' yeah well Milwaukee had almost 50 years of socialist mayors and they did such a good job we named half the city after them

Attorney James Hollis says that over 80% of people in Alligator Alcatraz are sick, many with Covid symptoms. This is eugenics. People have already died in ICE custody. Many will be disabled. The inhumane conditions are ripe for the spread of disease.

Saturday was Milwaukee's second wettest calendar day in 154 years. Some 8-10" totals from Greendale to West Allis. The only wetter day was the Aug. 6, 1986 which flooded County Stadium & the basement of Mitchell Field's terminal. (Photo: Richard Brodzeller/Milwaukee Sentinel)

Jim Harrison, man.

new Algernon album next month. hang in there babes ::')

last year during a pretty rough season, I kept myself distracted by playing a ton of Wingspan. so now any time I try to think through a difficult conversation, my brain starts working out combos with wood ducks & bushtits & common moorhens & whatnot. it's honestly maddening. I can't think straight.

For the overwhelming majority of people who practice it, sports is not about competition. It's about social belonging. Once you understand that, the reason why transphobes want to ban trans women from it even outside of competition and even in disciplines like darts is pretty obvious.

Can I offer you some flowers from my garden in these trying times? And some cute shells from the beach?
