Gods not this again. We are not Australia or Brazil. If you think that you should not vote, the option to just not vote is right there! If you want to campaign and influence policy to keep other people like you from voting, isn’t that just a bit hypocritical?

What's amazing about these fucking misogynist lunatics is that absolutely nothing prevents them from voting in this biblical way. A wife who believes she shouldn't vote can not vote. If she wants to obey her husband and vote they way he directs, she can do that.

This country is determined to kill me via sheer rage. This baby's next chemo treatment is supposed to be TOMORROW. It's $2,000. That means they're $950 short. Can we raise $950 today to help a 3-y/o live, for the love of all that's holy? gofund.me/fd86ecc06

This is appalling: “Case counts [of measles] in 2026 are more than double what they were the same period of 2025 and more than ten times what they were in 2024.” 4/1/26 … 1/ www.nbcnews.com/data-graphic...

We thought about making an April Fools joke, but there's so much medical misinformation out there we didn't want to risk accidentally making it worse. Instead, here are some tips for avoiding being fooled by misinformation any day of the year.

Thanks to Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill, big corporations paid $65 BILLION LESS in federal taxes last year. For reference, $65 BILLION could pay for over 2 years of ACA tax credit extensions. They literally cut healthcare to give mega-corps like Amazon & Meta a tax cut.

Y’all, given how reality has been under fire as the norm for so long that’s disbelieving the headline tends to be what makes you the fool, I say we cancel April fool’s day and try again next year. Deal?

I can not overemphasize: I don’t care what equipment you pee with. I DO care whether you choose to have a conversation on speaker phone in the stall next to me while I am having explosive diarrhea. Please, use the restroom of your choice respectfully. Thank you.

Blaming allies they claimed to not need, for a failure they say didn't happen, during a war they've already won, against a regime they already decapitated ... The mental acrobatics required to keep up with their cognitive dissonance is exhausting.

I have never read an X-Men comic and now I’m EXTREMELY interested. (I didn’t even know Mikki was an artist: I just followed her recently as a snarky sanity anchor because it’s 2026 in fascist America, and now she’s just gotten like super extra cool points and I’m gonna have to go through her CV.).

And people ask why victims never speak up.

Thoughts and prayers and the consequence of your own actions my man!

the violin is simply too small to play

i just think “he had a nazi tattoo” is a reasonable thing to make a red line when deciding whether to support or oppose a political candidate. apparently lots of people disagree, for a variety of reasons. but idk i feel good about it being a red line for me personally

The number one rule for No Kings 3 tomorrow is DO NOT INTERACT WITH COUNTER PROTESTERS! Do not talk, do not argue, do not react to their words, their single-finger salute, or their rolling coal. DO NOT ENGAGE!!!! You safety team is ready to deal with any negative people.

FELLOW AUTHORS: the deadline to file a claim in the Anthropic settlement for stealing all our work is MONDAY. The settlement provides for $3000 per work. GO GET YOUR MONEY. www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/claim-form

Fuck Newsom. And not in the hot way.

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.

the problem with arguing against license plate readers because they're insecure is that they'll just find another vendor who claims their version isn't. arguments should focus on the inherent right to not have our movement tracked without reasonable suspicion under the 4th amendment.

I simply wouldn’t unleash an airborne bombing campaign of major cities and kill a bunch of school girls if I wanted to “inspire” popular revolution

Reminder: No Kings is this Saturday. Go to www.nokings.org to find the location and time of the closest gatherings to you!

Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

“…it is not logical to enter such a process with parties that violate agreements.” So maybe just maybe perhaps… our actions have consequences.

I know I normally do politics here, but Magus and Ghoulie Squad are a fun authentic-vibes streamer duo who specialize respectively in horror and indie/retro games. I highly recommend that you check out both of these talented artists! Also, sabotage streams are the best.

Donothon Announcement! ALL next week @ghouliesquad.bsky.social and I are hosting a donothon to raise money to see each other. I miss my bestie 🥺 Elden Ring, Pokemon, D&D, & more! There are big events every day~ All funds go towards food, housing, and travel costs! ko-fi.com/scarletmagus...

“Not enough people hate women, but maybe if we make this about hating trans kids it will work.” Point of note: genital surgery for “trans infants” has never been a thing. Genital surgery for intersex infants however, has very much been a thing primarily due to the “there are only two sexes” crowd.

His addled brain is just a whirling Lazy Susan of deranged grievances. Every day he just gives it a spin and serves up whichever whiny lunacies his random synapse firings create.

All I'm going to say that: If I had never done a thing, I wouldn't be so quick to jump into discussions about whether "AI" can do the thing.

Let's start the weekend off with a REALLY feel-good story: dads learning how to braid their daughter's hair. At a pub!

Here’s the free pattern if anyone wants to make one drive.google.com/file/d/11w5k...

For me a lot of the "nothing feels real anymore" vibes stem from the fact that failure isn't met with consequences for this tech. It's bad and bad for the planet and unwanted and yet instead of reality logically following with "okay it's dead" I hear "next time it will be better."

HELL YEAH!

I wouldn't say I'm massively into phones or anything but I sketched this out of frustration bc why are there no modern phones with these features, it would be so perfect and I'm mad the only ones are old and slow

"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning" got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

Trump: "There are bad people. They go out shooting protesters. You're a protester, they shoot you right through the head. This is an evil group of people."

Odd way of saying “we’re going to stop impersonating dead and living people and hold ourselves to a higher standard of consent and accountability moving forward.” Guess that’s not what they’re saying. :(

It speaks so many volumes that this guy’s idea of liberation is being able to publicly insult the people who already often have to spend every waking moment in public on guard against physical assault or extortion from people like him.

Never forget: 8 years ago a random person on Craigslist wrote the most effective ad for the Toyota Corolla, ever.

Sounds good

What frustrates me the most beyond corporations pushing independent workers down is that a corporation sat back and watched one person fight an entire government-backed agency to make this footage available, and only after Marisa did all the work and took all the risk did they come in to scoop it.

What really sucks is that I've sad time and again that I believe independent and legacy media can co-exist and it doesn't have to be adversarial—as long as there's mutual respect. In this case, there was not.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

I’ve been a Guinness the cat fan for a while, but only tonight did I figure out that all of his photos have AMAZING alt text, so I’m going back through them. Anyway, gazing upon a majestic chaos-gremlin is always a nice distraction from the scrolling of doom: go check him out!

Posted the other day about attending a wounded warrior welcome home at the Pentagon in 2012. Being present at these ceremonies is important, not just for the families, but because they change your perspective of the cost of war.

The Illinois primaries are in 12 days and one Trump friendly Dem has a primary challenger. Incumbent Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) has voted yea for over 20% of the fascist bills the House has seen this session. She is being challenged by research scientist Dylan Blaha.
