The Trump administration has ordered visa officers to deny immigrants who are obese or have certain health issues, in yet another instance of the president’s strange obsession with physical traits. trib.al/b0AtL8r

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation. To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Based on analysis of years of revenues, losses and funding, since 2023, OpenAI has taken in $28.6bn in cash and had $13.7bn in losses. However, reports say OpenAI ended 1H 2025 with $9.6bn in cash - suggesting OpenAI's losses are billions higher than reported. www.wheresyoured.at/where-is-ope...

BREAKING: The USDA tells states funds will be made available later today to pay November SNAP benefits in full.

Just naked bigotry, they don't even bother trying to hide anymore

10/10 take. No notes.

the craziest shit happens to lestat. every scene where he has to explain what the hell happened to him is so funny to me

iwtv s3 is going to be deeply unserious and deeply devastating at the same time, which if you think about it was also the vibe of the first 2. it may look a bit different this time around with lestat's perspective, but horror and comedy holding hands is part of what makes this series a standout imo.

I cannot wait to see these bitches again

apropos james watson’s death i had an idle thought today about how stupid race/iq stuff sounds. “buh if your skin is darker you are biologically less smart” is a thing only a dumbass can believe

schumer's audience for this isn't bluesky, it's caucus moderates, state governors, and federal worker unions who might be getting shaky about holding the line, and it worked, at least with the caucus mods, who showed up for this in solidarity.

Decline all this, and see what now thou art

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

Okay?

Everyone already knows Trump is a creep so it must be something else

the funniest part is that in a normal government, this would be a bog standard, easy compromise for republicans, who want the subsidies extended, too, but they're all terrified of the elderly tariff otaku, and johnson and thune are both extremely weak leaders in thrall to their most insane members

People gave Trump a ton of moderation credit for being rhetorically softer than his peers on the welfare state but in practice Trump has been way more aggressive on that then even the most wide-eyed reactionaries

The average Dem Senator vs the average Dem Voter

The sense of entitlement from these people. Jesus.

I talked to librarians, authors who have had their books banned, and groups that support them for this article. The glee with which schools, libraries, governments, and companies are replacing human workers and nuance with AI would not be possible w/o the successful war on schools and libraries

It surprises me that Musk’s arrogant, autocratic, incompetent, mistake-prone, drug-addled, and deadly reign at DOGE is not mentioned. Nor does it discuss his Nazi salute, support for far-right political causes, and turning Twitter into a purveyor of lies and hate. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/b...

Maria Florinda Rios Perez was shot Monday when she and her husband went to clean a home; her husband says they were given the wrong address.

If I was writing a popular history this would be my pivot moment I think.

This is so embarrassing, man. The six most influential Republicans in the country with the unreviewable power to make the law whatever they want, patting each other on the back for their courage. Butter-soft.

those WITHOUT risk factors. Additionally, this study’s design makes the evidence more compelling because researchers included younger individuals, which makes the results more balanced and provided a fuller picture of vaccine effectiveness for all cohorts. The Centers for Disease

SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO NOTE. This new research calls into question the idea that younger individuals and those without risk factors don’t need the vaccine. INSTEAD the data shows that, while the vaccine is MOST effective for older individuals and those with comorbidities, it was ALSO protective in

A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that last season’s 2024–2025 mRNA COVID vaccines reduced people’s risk of emergency department visits by 29%, their risk of hospitalizations by 39% and their risk of death by 64%. Of the nearly 300,000 U.S. participants in the

Thanks science!

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

One study found that non-Native participants who had less exposure to contemporary Natives were more likely to agree that the U.S. should nullify all treaties, eliminate all reservations, and abolish tribes’ right to self-govern.

It is a bewildering stereotype to encounter. The stereotype that you no longer exist. Nearly half of U.S. adults agree with what that woman said: that all Native Americans are dead and gone.

Once, I was at a grassroots social justice convening in Florida. On a break while people made small talk, a white woman came up to me and said, “I thought we killed all of you.” As in, she thought Native Americans were extinct like the woolly mammoth.

On the rare occasion Native people are portrayed in the media, we live in the past. In one study, researchers typed “Native American” and “American Indian” into the Google image search bar. 95% of the results were “antiquated portraits.”

In celebration of Native American Heritage month I want to talk about erasure. Erasure is how anti-Indigenous racism functions in the U.S. today. 🧵

WE DONT DIVE TO GRAVE SITES not all shipwrecks are labeled as preserved grave sites, but many many are. it affords them deep levels of protection so creeps and the morbidly curious can’t got steal relics or disturb the souls.

A distraught man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”. We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want. Building my guns for the revolution. 💪🏾✊🏾 #Swoletariat #ResistanceTraining”

He said there was no room to sleep. People sat up, slept on the floor, standing up. He saw many pregnant women there too. The conditions were unbearable. His wife is horrified by his account.
