Hey friends- It’s really hard being alive right now for those of us who care about things like humanity, decency, the environment, democracy, etc, If you are here still fighting for what is right I love u. None of this is easy. Please take care of yourselves. Logging off sometimes is A-OK.

holy shit this is so good and so spot-on

I’m sorry but the fact that this is not everywhere is kind of malpractice

A little-known process that requires insurers to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. External reviews are one of the industry’s best-kept secrets, and only a tiny fraction of those eligible actually use them. By @deldeib.bsky.social

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

So cool! Brennan Gilmore captured this photo of Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) on Saturday about 10 miles east of Charlottesville. This comet might become visible to the naked eye later this month. More info at cwg.live

My mom just got denied care by the VA for obvious BS reasons and here you dirtbags are, punching down instead of investigating why the VA claims denial errors have skyrocketed in the last 8 months.

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

It's just how it is, but every once in a while I'm absolutely astounded by how many blatant lies the most powerful people in this country tell every day.

This is the second lawsuit of the day filed/separate from the first amendment suit.

93 million U.S. residents are immigrants or are U.S. born and have at least one immigrant parent.

I needed to see this today. Perhaps you do as well. ❤️

Maggie offers a timeline cleanse.

Every day I log on and just see endless videos of ICE agents breaking state, federal, and international laws.

It’s obscene.

worth remembering that hoover's administration was defined by 4 years of economic chaos, suffering, dislocation, and fear. People genuinely believed the country itself was on the verge of irreversible collapse. He still got 40% of the vote.

I've heard countless folks say "I can't even draw a stick figure" and let me tell you, that squiggly hand-drawn line will always have more heart and expression than any AI art could ever have.

It wasn’t a vote about whether to shut down the government or keep it open. It was a vote about whether the Republicans would be allowed to strip health care from millions of Americans and continue tax cuts for the rich, or whether to put the health care back in the budget. Rs refused to restore it.

From the Editorial Board: Neuroscientists have found that when people read, their brains don’t just process words — they simulate the story world. By contrast, social media rarely demands such deep simulation.

"CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss" is the exact same deal as "Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth"

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

I really need all of us to abandon any impostor syndrome. It’s time.

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

This morning in WBUR Today: Former Market Basket CEO Artie T. is pushing to get his job back in court Here's what we learned from his 94-page counterclaim, and how the company's board is responding: www.wbur.org/news/2025/10... @wbur.org

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “It is easy to lose sight of the real stakes” in this government shutdown, the editorial board writes. “President Trump is seeking to deprive millions of Americans of their health insurance, and Senate Democrats are refusing to acquiesce.”

The Sora AI thing is proof of something very important: The technology itself is useless without the ability to use the likenesses of real, living, unpredictable people, and the art they create. And the only way to get those likenesses or that art is to summarily steal it.

Windows 7 Georg is an outlier who should not be counted

Because Wikipedia is one of the few info sources that extremists can’t control (it relies on cited & fact-checked material), they naturally want to shut it down. It’s long been a goal of the Project 2025 authoritarians. Also, many of the blacklisted “sources” are blatant propaganda. Sputnik News? 🙄

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

"too"

Read bad art. Write bad art. Critique bad art.

I hope this catches on and becomes his legacy

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Jane Fonda relaunches the Committee for the First Amendment, a free speech initiative originally spearheaded by her father, Hollywood icon Henry Fonda, in response to the rise of “McCarthyism” during the 1940s.

Oh no. This is such an enormous loss. Jane Goodall has been a hero of mine since I was a child. She was a relentless advocate for the planet until the day she died. And she always did it with patience and compassion and kindness. We are so lucky to have lived in a time that had her in it.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open" That's it. That's the whole story.

fun fact: ICE attacking anyone they have already attacked is an attack on a civilian. every single person whose house or car they've broken into, who they've kidnapped out of a Home Depot parking lot, who they've snatched off a delivery bike: CIVILIAN.

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

How many one-time passcodes can one woman possible endure?

i don’t know how man cishet men told me bald faced that i was overreacting about the government attacking my right to not get pregnant in my life but it was a lot and i hate every single one of them

This only happens to you once

Well don't I feel stupid

There is no argument against birthright citizenship other than “I am incredibly racist and don’t like it” It is clearly and simply spelled out in the 14th amendment - if you are born here, you are an American citizen.
