the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro: “I ordered the militarisation of the entire country starting at 4pm by land, sea, and air.”

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

This blows my mind every time I run across it. We understood perfectly well how to teach people to read, it worked effectively for decades, and then we just decided ... not to do that any more. I think the best analogue is the history of treating scurvy.

UPDATE — Here are the at least 10 congressional Democrats, 5 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Is this good? It doesn't seem good. "Walgreens will no longer give many of its retail workers paid vacation time for Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major holidays, as the company looks to cut costs under new owners."

Definitely at least submit written testimony in if you haven’t yet. The possibility of showing kindness to the poor is bringing out the worst of the worst and yk council’s conservatives are scrounging for excuses to shut their ears and say what Jon Isaacs wrote on the sheet of paper he gave them

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

Oh no! Rest in peace, Sally Kirkland. This is especially heartbreaking: SAG-AFTRA canceled Medicare supplemental insurance in 2021 for members over the age of 65 and she died with a go fund me page in hospice care.😢💔 www.masslive.com/news/2025/11...

agreed. it's "the guy who makes you uncomfortable for reasons you won't articulate isn't the future. this guy who looks and talks like you is."

So looking at the actual SF chronicle article, the only place this song is accruing notice is on Spotify, which is easily gamed by bots. If I were an AI proponent who desperately needed to boost the validity of my investment, this is exactly what I’d do.

Bari Weiss' first weeks at CBS News marked by all-out warfare against professional ethics standards in the newsroom, part of an effort to convert it from journalism into rank political propaganda.

“Standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She asks ‘What’s the point of standards?’

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court. The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used. The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

incredibly funny that Joyce Carol Oates owned Musk so hard he's started trying to post like a regular person with normal interests

history will ultimately decide this but i think joyce carol oates might have just landed the most devastating burn in human history. like the death star trench run of posting

You ever call a senator's office and ask the staffer who picks up what it's like to work for someone without a spine? 10/10 recommend.

Every day, hundreds of migrants queue up for court hearings in front of immigration judges inside the vast tower block at 26 Federal Plaza. Not all of them leave.

“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”

MoveOn, Indivisible, Our Revolution, and 6 Democrats have called on Chuck Schumer to step aside as leader. So we asked all 40 Democratic senators who didn’t cave to Republicans if they still think Schumer is the right leader. Here's what they said. @andrewperez.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social

"What is obvious, however, is that the Democrats who both voted to initiate the shutdown and then caved in the face of no material change of circumstance were either wrong 41 days ago or are wrong now." @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org assesses what the government shutdown has accomplished.

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.

BREAKING update to my lawsuit against DC Metropolitan PD for body cam footage from USIP raid — We've submitted our response, including sworn declarations from *six* USIP workers, 1 of whom says he "observed members of MPD giving each other high-fives and fist bumps" after removing staff from bldg.

Senate votes 60-40 to approve the stopgap spending bill that will keep the government running through January, sending the bill to the House.  Package also includes 3 of the 12 full-year approps bills - Ag, LegBranch, MilCon-VA.

I have to hand it to them, it's an incredible bit to publicly lose a game of chicken, admit that's what happened, and then spend the next day lecturing everyone about courage and tenacity

Here are the Senators who voted to criminalize hemp products: [with alt text included]

Because this is a brand-destroying action by Senate Dems.

Happy anniversary to this gem 💀 In 2020 me & a bunch of people online were making jokes about antifa liberating the animals at the pdx zoo. I ended up even posting a live thread from the fake zoo riot including animal chants and all which resulted in this far right streamer calling the police 😂

Catherine my good bitch you guys are the only ones who do not know where the Republicans stand

“We’re in an existential fight so let’s band together with cowards who sell everyone else out at the earliest opportunity” isn’t exactly the St Crispin's Day Speech

Chuck Schumer has not met this moment and Senate Democrats would be wise to move on from his leadership.

👀

I will oppose any bill that pretends the health care crisis can be handled later, when we all know there is no commitment and no guarantee that the House will ever get that vote.

“Despite his no vote, the entire political world knows this is a direct result of @schumer.senate.gov’s leadership … He either blessed this surrender, or was incapable of leading his caucus to hold the line.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Because of a pre-cancerous mass they found in my colon, I had to have surgery to get it removed and thanks to my work insurance AND qualifying for low income assistance, I did find myself destitute. I don't like my odds for next year.

Have you considered kicking out the people who gave up the fight and picking a new leader who is capable of leading the same

This man announces his art projects only after 7 years to avoid prosecution. I'm curious if he's going to pop up with anything new since it's been about that much time since he's been in the news. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANFa...
