FYI: People are now using the name “Olivia Newzzi” or variants to get around people muting the actual name. Adjust accordingly.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

You shouldn't be allowed to be the Health Secretary if everything about you is really fucking gross.

The curse of being on social media is having a few shitposts pop off every once in a while, but whenever I try to convey something important it never gets any traction.

Don’t think I ever got as close to telling my entire family to shove it as I did tonight because goddamn.

Great thread.

this dumb shit is what i mean when i say this is a purely aesthetic “politics.” yeah man, why can’t we have a fusion of cosmopolitan social democracy and revanchist hierarchies of wealth and privilege? tough question.

Remember Andrew Wakefield? Here he is with his friend RFK Jr. in 2020. Wakefield is the guy behind the fraudulent, retracted MMR–autism study. He lost his medical license for subjecting autistic children to unnecessary invasive procedures. Now, with Kennedy in power, he’s getting a second act.

life moves pretty fast

Always feel a bit bad when people put items up for sale at the end of the month, due to lots of people attempting to avoid a money crunch before rent is due.

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

Frog two seconds later:

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

You're welcome😊.

Being with a cat that doesn’t like you is a good reminder that, in life, some people won’t like you either.

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass. Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

Every time I listen to Trump, Bessent or Lutnick talk about economic conditions, it is always completely obvious how utterly disconnected they are from the everyday struggles the average American working family is dealing with right now. They simply can’t relate to normal people.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

youtube.com/shorts/Z5DcZ... I don’t agree with all of his takes, but I feel he has an authenticity that more YouTubers would benefit having. Also, given who his son is, he must be possessed of a certain level of mental fortitude to not be crushed by an overwhelming sense of guilt and doubt.

I might have posted this before but I am still looking for a situation where this panel would be relevant as a reaction pic. I haven’t found it yet, so the search continues.

I think the people wondering how the Nuzzis & the Lizzas of the world get so famous are maybe making more discriminating choices. But fact is, more people prefer such ego bombs than the many, many excellent journalists w/out white mustangs or tell-all bamboo metaphors.

Also, while I’m grousing, can we agree that the discourse about “echo chambers” is, more often than not, completely facile?

I’ll never not be suspicious of people who say things like “Oh, I came back to BlueSky and one person pushed back against me, what a hellsite”.

Ah yes. The #RockEmSockEmRobots. They weren’t as much fun as they looked on TV, but they were still pretty fun. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/a...

“And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains. Within the sound of silence. Within the sound of silence”.

youtu.be/jKCwaOgNNj0?... via @vanguardpod.bsky.social Cenk sounds genuinely hurt here at this turn of events. It’s very odd.

One thing I genuinely enjoyed in this otherwise very dumb movie is that Richard Kiel (Eegah, “Jaws” in James Bond, etc) actually had some time playing a nice, normal, even sweet guy. And he did a fine job! But… then the movie’s villain turns him into a rampaging death machine. Oh well.

You're right. This space might be just the right size for us.

There is alot of evidence of covid heart damage. The European Society of Cardiologists has advised vaccines for all to protect against heart damage which is becoming more ‘common’ due to COVID infections. www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/clinica...

An really important thing a lot of people don't realize about Trump is that he doesn't bully people he doesn't think he can bully.

So, I'm really kind of fucking annoyed and disappointed with Mozilla enabling AI in Firefox by default and not giving users a simple opt out switch. I have disabled it in my firefox via 'about:config' , if you want to too, here's how to disable it completely or enable certain bits you find useful

lithiumindustries.bandcamp.com I’m applying to get my music on other platforms. If they let me in, there MAY be remasters and/or exclusives. If all goes well, @argrecnetlabel.bsky.social may follow suit. While you wait, check it out here.

“Righteous Tarnished, what brings you here?”

I think Trump’s demeanor proves he is 100% chicken shit when in person, BUT it also proves Schumer, Jeffries et al never gave Mamdani any courtesy. They couldn’t even fake it.

Everybody's trying a little Enron these days

Mamdani getting Trump to back down & even *compliment* him costs Mamdani absolutely nothing (& indeed actually shows his skills) & probably also saves a lot of vulnerable ppl in this city a trememndous amount of pain if it means Trump is less inclined to act shitty towards us bc of this meeting

It occurs to me that after my “Dell PC” post popped off I didn’t even get to how bad Dell monitors are! 😆 Whenever I’m in a business that has a multi-monitor Dell setup I’ll ask the receptionist if they ever have any problems with it and they always say yes. ALWAYS.

Good thing the work day has been slow today because goddamn. 😆
