Historians and citizens who say they are concerned about the Trump administration's pressure on the Smithsonian are working to document exhibits, as they exist today, throughout the museum network.

They are so absolutely definitely planning something that is a war crime and a cover-up.

I picked the wrong time to leave L.A.

Does anyone still feel our pain? We are dying slowly beneath the rubble of hunger, displacement, and fear. We live without shelter, without food, without safety… as if we are nothing. ♦️"Don't let us disappear in silence. Help us survive 🙏 t.co/qDos7sWaNM

A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

a major problem im running into career wise is that “respectable” organizations are only willing to or can only pay me a pittance while these kind of right-wing outfits offer lavish salaries and only require a fraction of the qualifications

Floof.

Hoo boy

In my life I've seen treatments for AIDs developed, vaccines for Ebola and malaria, and now this. Medical science is one is the areas that still consistently seems to make these miraculous advances and I'm genuinely grateful to everyone involved. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Walked into the living room just in time to catch my dad thoughtfully saying, "...don't think I could fight a Bigfoot" to himself. Noticing me looking at him with raised eyebrows, he said defensively, "Well, I couldn't!" and went back to reading. This is all the context I will get.

So many women have been talking, writing and warning people of the dangerous ideologies and biases of tech in Silicon Valley, for decades, and it’s so infuriating that so many men (not OP here) just flat out ignore it and act surprised at the technofascists infecting it now

thrilled to announce that last week i started a new job as a bullet engraver for the FBI

I have a few good friends who have been struggling the last few years due to the contraction of the streamers who are starting to get work and seeing the light at the end of their tunnels and it is GIVING ME LIFE. I have nothing but hopes for all the struggling & strivers out there. Crush it, y'all.

Neurodivergent folks should all be paid a stipend to do things we like to do, and the world would end up benefiting from it.

Tl;dr: "It's fine if you allow heinous content and disinformation about liberals to circulate, but we didn't think WE would have to worry about it!"

Agreed - though with the caveat that there is a difference between watching a TV show/movie, which is often done with other people, and the act of reading a book, which is usually done privately. If you're not fully comfortable with sex, sexuality, and intimacy, the first scenario can be awkward.

“We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein,” a plaque at the bottom of the...bronze installation reads. A permit from the National Park Service will allow the statue to stay on the National Mall grounds through 8pm on Sunday.'

They didn’t pull the network promos. My god. Nexstar and Sinclair making complete fools of themselves.

the full text of Zelenskyy's speech isn't up yet, but it will be on his official site today (in English) www.president.gov.ua/en/news/spee...

I was never as enamored with High Potential as others (though Kaitlin Olson is phenomenal). Two episodes into season 2 so far, and my feelings about it are moving in the wrong direction.

if you can look at it without catching poster’s madness, the list of who actually gets engagement here is pretty interesting. somewhat dire at the top but quickly it’s real and high quality posters. bluefacts.app/top-reach

No one prepares you as a 40-something who moves back in with your parents for how your mom will watch IG/FB on her phone without headphones, then fall asleep on the couch holding her phone so that you hear the same 30 seconds of audio playing over and over. 1/2

The incredibly talented @irathethird.bsky.social lost everything in an apartment fire this week. His GoFundMe is *almost* fully funded! Just a few bucks could make a difference! gofund.me/94b3f3cd6

So I'm a practicing druid. What I don't just forage myself for my practice, I often buy from craftspeople on Etsy. I like to envision a world in which the delivery guy sees my packages & is baffled. "This chick's buying sticks again." "What is this, an iron bowl?" "But...why the deer antler?"

Trying to imagine the internal dialogue of every reasonable UN member currently being held hostage by this pile of decayed synapses and cerebral hypoxia.

Hey guys, just checking, is this good?

I know they don’t care, but Meghan McCain really is a dishonest censorship supporter. Not one Republican ever cared about free speech. Every single Republican supports censorship.

In absolutely horrible news I learned this morning that Hany was killed in an air strike- he was driving people from the North to the South when it happened. This is one of the last messages he sent me 💔 He leaves behind 8 kids, he was only 48 and he was very kind.

You’ll never believe how many more moons Saturn got after we started sending probes all around the solar system and started counting tiny rocks as moons

Happy proper autumn, all. 🍁

Lemme tell you, @aimod.social's AI banner and avatar imagery labeler is doing the Lord's work. So many of you happily RTing shit from people with AI in their profiles without knowing it.

I, for one, would be thrilled if the evangelical crazies in this country were right and today really is finally the Rapture.

"You leave the carnival with your arm around your girl and climb behind the wheel of your car. It feels like nothing could go wrong."

we’re gonna get some prominent person’s leaked AI fuck chats and I would like to opt out of that discourse now

Guess it's time for me to update this piece for what seems like the 37th time in the past two days.

Taking bets on the first entertainment journalist (assuming there are enough of us left to start a pool) to use the title Disney and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week. Will it be me? Maybe!

As I keep explaining to people, Disney was not the one negotiating from a position of strength; Kimmel was. Maybe he tones it down - a bit - for a while. But that's unlikely, and even if he does, it will be short-lived. He isn't the one who has stepped on 587 rakes in the past 5 1/2 days.

Bluesky really loves demanding something and then getting mad when politicians do it. Why should I take some of you seriously?

LOL

Almost every reactionary movement is built on bad parents not wanting to admit they're bad parents.

"Are ghost candles a fire hazard?" Is that a real candle that looks like a ghost or a candle in another plane of existence that looks like a ghost and was lit by a ghost or did the ghost light a real candle in our plane of existence and the appearance of the candle is irrelevant. Help us help you.

Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for free speech in our nation. More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

A Brazilian drug raises hopes of reversing spinal cord injury. Scientists in São Paulo have developed a treatment based on the protein laminin. In animal trials, it reactivated dormant nerve pathways, restoring movement and sensation after paralysis. buff.ly/Jcj1euy #ShareGoodNewsToo

It’s fall- you know what that means. (Monarch butterflies migrating to Southern California, Mexico, and Florida)

Boy, they really do not prepare you for the sudden and constant fatigue that comes with being a woman in your mid-40s.

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

Republican Freedom Fighters. They've snitched to more people's bosses by 6am than you will in an entire lifetime.
