Did you hear about the DC July 4 fireworks show? It promises 850,000 fireworks in 40 minutes. That's 354 per second. You'll miss up to 142 of them every time you blink. For your edutainment, I proudly present the nerdiest thing you will read about this dangerously absurd / absurdly dangerous event.

It's the start of disability pride month Where are your n95s

NEW BLOG FOR YOU Google's energy consumption numbers in their new climate report are mind-blowing. 2 years ago they flipped from linear to exponential growth, and their climate impact is blowing out, too. A WILD testament to the obscene bloat and waste of GenAI: ketanjoshi.co/2026/07/01/g...

oh shit they all got signed!! here’s some good trans legislative news for once

Happy Disability Pride Month! Now more than ever we need everyone engaged in disability justice. Fascists target the disabled. If you want to fight fascism, help the disabled. Wear a mask. Get vaccinated. Fight for public health, housing and Medicare for all.

22 years ago today I released Salad Fingers.

Taking all my mental energy to not post “everyone who posted the laugh react to this **** yourself now” on Facebook

My god, they aren't targeting trans people just to get at other people. They are targeting trans people to target trans people. And they are targeting other people. We don't just exist as a warning for the rest of you, fuck me.

everyday is the same but worse

liberals are still doing this today and only talking about how this decision will affect cis girls and not about how the supreme court just made discrimination against an entire group legal

Saw a couple of posts from US artists saying BSky is now asking them for age verification. Please follow the link in this repost. I’m the UK we’ve had this crap going on for over a year. The methods listed here work great, it’s what I use it (no way I’m providing personal info!)

its kind of insane how 15 years ago saying that everything that sucks is a conscious effort made by a secret cabal of billionaires would get you called a tinfoil hatter and now its simply a fact of reality that makes people go "yeah no shit man, but what can ya do"

it's not even like a fun or especially mysterious conspiracy, it's more or less plainly in the open that Meta is paying everyone off for this shit so it's like what am I supposed to do with the knowledge that every world government is ran by useless sell-outs?

this whole online ID verification push stuff is turning me into a weird crank at rapid speed because I've never seen such an unpopular policy forced through with such speed in so many countries simultaneously with basically zero real consent from any population, just pure elite collusion

This is literally why there's a bipartisan effort to remove internet access from young people. It's an attack on queer people, leftists, and anyone who questions authority. They don't want our children finding out that MLK and Frida Kahlo were socialists or that Stonewall was a riot.

Available until July 6th, which is also my birthday, in 4 different colors. roryblank.bigcartel.com I will cut it off early if I think it's going to become difficult for me to manage fulfilling all of them. I pack every order by hand myself, you know.

I made a new t-shirt that I think has an important message about the future and also about friendship and i think maybe you will like it roryblank.bigcartel.com

Obviously making fun of people’s names is bad but A Guy With A Funny Name can be a very good bit.

Fix your hearts or die. You know how many of us joke that Pride month should be followed by Wrath? This year I feel a deep, burning fury towards all who use transgender lives as political propaganda. We are human beings. You cannot erase us. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Before any of you all go "BuT tHiS wOn'T aFfEcT mE", yes if will. It will affect EVERYONE. Not jusy here on bluesky, on EVERY. FUCKING. WEBSITE. You would have to give up your fucking ID info just to use ANYTHING on the internet. It's mass surveillance. theintercept.com/2026/06/28/a...

I love it when kink accounts interact with my COVID-cautious posts it’s like the inverse of horny on main

this guy claims to be poor, but can afford a barrel and suspenders? 🙄

The only thing he can think of doing with his brand AI agent device thing of course is shop; because that’s the only real goal

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

In the Substrate pilot I have a gag where the bananas are $7 (there’s lore attached to that) and now I’m a little worried that I’m accidentally going to manifest that into reality

The fact that we rolled out a bunch of social safety net programs at the start of COVID and like cut child poverty in half and then they took all of it away for no fucking reason is my white whale.

I don’t understand how now, in a time where the material suffering around us is harder to ignore than in most of our lifetimes & the reasons why are as clear as they have ever been, we still have so many for whom the very easy position of ‘we can & should help people unconditionally’ is unfathomable

the bread is $13.50 and all the circuses are subscription based

Woah! We should have this everywhere! But our “leaders” are more concerned with protecting airline companies and the economy instead of protecting people’s health and literal lives, and they don’t want to remind you that deadly and disabling airborne viruses are still ever-present. 🦠😷🦠

BREAKING: @aoc.bsky.social just introduced the AI Data Center Moratorium Act in the House. The bill would ban the construction of data centers until Congress addresses the economic, environmental, and safety impacts of AI.

We've been told we have to just live with respiratory viruses, despite them killing 1 million per year, causing long term health issues & costing $600B annually - the time has come to try to end respiratory viruses time.com/article/2026...

I don’t know how to fight climate change given the window to avoid certain lethal tipping points ends before some petro-fascists will even leave office. How do you reconcile that?

Curing sickle cell disease is legitimately one of the absolute top miracles of the entire 21st century
