Message to men: you can date/marry way, way above your league if you will just fucking learn to cook and do some laundry, please stop hitting yourself in the face with hammers or "optimising" things and try vacuumcleanermaxxing instead...

This site is pretty fun!

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day. Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

Bumping this for the daytime crowd, as I'd like to get a heating-oil order in tomorrow if I can. 🙂

Lolsob—imagine a world where Diane Wynne Jones and Diana Duane were THE Famous Wizard Writers and JKR is crowdfunding for heating oil. Probably that timeline has different presidents and less warcrimes too

The reason I called this an own goal the other day is it's like critiquing the paint on the walls of a kitchen someone smeared in shit. Sure. They shouldn't have called that paint autumn harvest when it was beige. But like... There's shit on the walls?

My Washington State tax is going to go up and that's a good thing. We had the most regressive tax structure in the country for DECADES.

There cannot be moral billionaires because if they had morals then they wouldn’t be billionaires.

People said they wanted more culture pieces on Bsky, right? For COYOTE, I interviewed the @oaklandreviewofbooks.org and @meganwachspress.bsky.social for a behind-the-scenes account of how Megan's 7,000-word feature (!) on coal in Oakland came to be—a phenomenal work of longform journalism.

The tags on this give the game away. Goodreads reviewers aren’t the same as professional critics. Goodreads is fundamentally a product review platform for Bezos to data mine. Critics/ reviewers are doing critical analysis.

Paging @makana-yama.bsky.social

My current rep, Kevin Kiley, is on this committee. Thanks to the CA redistricting, he will be running in a much bluer district this year. If you are currently in CA-3 or in what will be CA-6, call this limp noodle of a man and squeeze.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline. I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate. Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

CDPH is urging Californians to check their measles vaccination status after several recent cases were reported in Sacramento and Placer counties. These cases represent the third measles outbreak in CA in 2026. Learn more: www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OPA... [1/3]

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

Love’s Labour’s Lost, Julius Caesar, and Cymbeline.

We need candidates who fall firmly into “looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you” overlap.

If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken

being anti-trans is an unelectable position, sorry newsom, we need someone more electable in 2028

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

Greg: so we've seen four attempts to untangle the Gordion Knot, and they've all been shit. Who's next Alex? Alex: well finally Greg, armed with his massive sword as usual, it's Alexander the Great [Alexander smugly turns to watch the VT]

Coolcoolcool, this is normal and fine. *screams silently about the absurdity of jungle primaries*

"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

It's a great night to consider running for office. It's still not too late in some states to get on the ballot for 2026 -- and definitely not too early for 2027 or 2028. runforwhat.net

That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court. That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits. Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

Dallas County voters, polling hours have been extended until 9 PM CT. If you're in line, stay in line! Your polling place may have changed since the last time you voted, and you MUST vote at your assigned precinct. Go to IWillVote.com/TX to find your polling place.

I still mask indoors because we as a society have chosen not to implement indoor clean air standards despite absolutely having the technology and ability to do so. We left what is a social burden on individuals, with terrible consequences.

getting a machine to "free me up" by doing academic work for me is like getting a robot to "free me up" by eating my food for me. it's genuinely deranged.

the HPV vaccine is fucking incredible, period end of that's it

Part of functional literacy is being able to understand, on your own, the concept that the writer is writing for a specific audience. That the thing has a specific context. Like, an article about dog grooming is addressed to dog owners. It does not need to include cat grooming.

Well, in more pleasant news, the Fish Doorbell is back... 🧪

I can’t say I’m surprised by the uptick in casual antisemitism when opposing Israel but then again I had pennies thrown at me at school until like 2006, so it’s only been very recently a lot of this has stopped and it’s good to see people saying “we should not go back.”

i think it’s cool the fascist AGs are mandating conversion therapy as the only treatment for trans people on the thinnest of legal pretenses and the Democrat AGs are too pussy to enforce their own non-discrimination laws on healthcare providers forcibly detransitioning their former patients

Hey, cool. @lastweektonight.com just did a segment using reporting I did w/ @farooqumar.bsky.social Oliver was talking about body cams--and how law enforcement agencies have often undermined their potential The same body-cams Dems are centering that ICE reforms on www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP4_...

BREAKING: Today Bernie Sanders is proposing new legislation to raise $4.4 trillion in taxes from America’s billionaires — a move that would virtually cut their massive fortunes in half. A chunk of the money raised would go toward sending a $3K stimulus check to every person earning under $150K.

Share why you think Gavin Newsom is not *the guy*

Proximity to power is not, in and of itself, a good. It will not help, save, or improve things by itself. That part is up to you. 4/

THIS. The best case for this is that Platner is some combination of deeply uncritical and willfully ignorant; both terrible traits in anyone with a modicum of power. And that is the *best* explanation.

HELP

To respond to this response: No one is saying you are antisemitic in some ontological sense. The claim is that it is irresponsible for a major journalist to use a large platform to share the antisemitic conspiracy that every Israeli reservist lives in New York City.

This should be required viewing for any progressive running for office.
