DON’T LOOK AWAY! The Trump administration is catapulting us into a data black hole and the consequences could be massive. Halting data collection on drug use, maternal mortality, climate change, more, by @alecmac.bsky.social

The Trump administration proposed a rollback of federal protections for endangered species. A draft rule from the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) seeks to eliminate the current interpretation of “harm” under the Endangered Species Act.

Dear god.

I think there should have been a Good Knieval

Over the last 20+ years people kept saying "hey these new laws getting passed that restrict the rights of American Citizens are gonna get used nefariously one day!" and now here we are and everyone's making shocked pikachu face

There's simply no ethical way to support Harry Potter in 2025. It's not possible. $0.20 from every dollar you give JK Rowling goes directly to physically harming a trans person and that's not a joke or an exaggeration.

There are better fantasy books out there that don't fund harmful bullshit. Idc if it's a "comfort series." You can do better than reading a series about how an orphan becomes a cop while breaking all the rules and shit.

This is profoundly, the most disturbing story I've ever read. Elon Musk believes his children are a legion and he needs to make as many babies as possible before the apocalypse. He has a breeding fetish mixed with a messianic doomsday cult obsession. archive.ph/H7U2a

5/ full Mars Branch Davidian shit here

2/ I can't even imagine the trouble this dude we be in if he were subject to any kind of law.

That's what y'all get, tbh, because you hopped aboard the train late as hell. It's not about THOUGHT policing, it's about ACTUAL policing, which is why they started all of this with Queer and Black people; because they knew y'all wouldn't bat an eye. 💀💀💀

The key difference between this dumb giggling cruelty and e.g. JD Vance saying Wokeness has gone too far, or Wes Streeting saying we need to massacre a sacred cow every day til we’re up to our knees in blood, is that there is no difference. It is all the same shit at varying voltage and intensity.

Big tech then: "Every man, women and child on the planet can now have their voices heard because of the internet" Big tech now: "Cut that commies statement from the internet feed so nobody hears it"

What the hell happened to people in this country? When did we all become cowering idiots in the face of injustice & war? We are not our grandfather's descendants who bravely fought in the beaches, the air & in the streets. We should be ashamed but sadly we're not. The power & money is too strong.

A big fuck you to @theguardian.com for laundering anti-trans hate for years. A moral stain that can't be forgiven.

*pinches my nose so hard it falls off*

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote???? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun. #FuckTrump #Resist

Every decent, thinking person should be furious. This is state-sanctioned abuse masquerading as science. Trump and RFK Jr. just handed a government vaccine study to a man who practiced unlicensed medicine on autistic kids, pushed banned, dangerous treatments, and lied about vaccines.

Ended. Up. Ended. Up. endedup

I really appreciated @hankgreen.bsky.social’s dire wolf video, which is really worth watching. He breaks down the science, the hype, and why it’s important to tell the truth about extinction: youtu.be/Ar0zgedLyTw?...

So @mothersbasement.bsky.social made a really good point on Twitter that I feel should also be here: You wanna see a piece of art that clears every single AI bullshit "art" piece out there? Bam, here you go. (Quoted Geoff's tweet in the alt text, as he put it really perfectly.)

any day in which i get to make a joke about james joyce's letters to nora barnacle is a good day for me but a terrible day for someone else

Fascinating note by @amandamull.bsky.social in Bloomberg: throughout US history, going all the way back to colonial times, "Buy American" was manipulated by wealthy merchants and oligarchs to enrich themselves.

Elon has tweeted over 10 times about the Rufo smear piece on a intelligence community ERG on intelink. They're creating the manufactured consent to purge LGBTQ and especially trans employees from not just the intelligence communities but the entire federal government. They'll use ERGs to do so.

This is some good info for making Facebook stop collecting your data.

what you’re saying is that the fascist have complete control over peoples government email addresses/chats and are now just searching to see what kind of dirt they can bring to fight to target citizens with nazi violence? you can downplay this all you like, but this is how state violence starts

Stop listening to James fucking Carville.

We 🧡 that @profaliceroberts.bsky.social is a great supporter of indie bookshops, and we also 🧡 these stunning #indiebookshop editions of CRYPT (out now in paperback) They are #SIGNED plus they have a groovy skeleton sprayed edge 💀 www.foxlanebooks.co.uk/product-page... #BookSky 📚💙

it was less than 6 months ago a lady threw away her entire career to have an emotional affair with a man that looks like Krang from the ninja turtles

it's 28 Kennedys in that generation and somehow you found the dumbest one

"Obviously it is not standard to have aircraft collide. I want to be clear on that." -- Sean Duffy, our new secretary of transportation in the new awful administration.

You could put Trump alone in a room with a turnip and he still wouldn't be the smartest in the room.

FUCK REPUBLICANS

How long before the Statue of Liberty is caught up in ICE’s NYC deportation raids, and sent back to France? Her presence seems a bit hypocritical at this point…

The local news is reporting Trump's Operation Aurora could be starting here in the Denver/Aurora area as early as tomorrow. The Colorado Rapid Response Network who sends volunteers like me to live ICE raids has put out the following:

How to protect yourself:

Defend your community against ICE raids:

The bird flu is spreading to more than 50 mammal species and putting food supplies at risk. H5N1 is airborne and spread by migratory birds, making it hard to control. Despite culling millions of birds, the virus spreads, raising prices and increasing human cases. This is a global health crisis.

The Video Game History Foundation opens its digital archives to the public next week

I was mistaken. Felon Donald Trump did NOT cancel cancer research. TRUMP CANCELLED ALL MEDICAL RESEARCH!!!!

Hoping to post my first speedpaint here tomorrow! #art #sanrio #hellokitty #WIP #nostalgia #panpastel #cuteart

The only way to mourn something like this is to throw yourself into art. Creativity is medicine. It heals the brain & the heart. Lynch understood the importance of art more than anybody. It's essential we don't forget this, that we don't lose it. It's the one dependable thing we have in this world.

"I don't know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn't make sense." David Lynch

I have a little plea and it's this: please keep posting about things that aren't The Horrors. I am not saying to not look at or be informed about The Horrors. What I am saying—what I am genuinely kind of begging you to do—is keep posting about books and movies and sunsets and pets and joy. Please.
