I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

I think my government should not be killing children by denying them water. Nor killing children any other way. Nor killing anyone by denying them water. Just … for starters.

That interaction reminded me of this short story about looking at a time loop from the outside, so let’s hope you’re not dealing with that in 5ish years. derinstories.com/breakfast-ti...

leveled up with this explanation, cos as an autistic person i pride myself on reacting appropriately to animals, to signal harmlessness, so why wouldn't i want to do this for human animals? never occurred to me to stop listening to the words and instead recognise the BEHAVIOUR.

everything is terrible so here’s the swedish chef doing rapper’s delight

This amused me greatly 😂 especially the fox painting 😂 Thank yoooo @cheekybudgie.bsky.social

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

A good read by @niniandthebrain.bsky.social Research quietly progresses through self-correction, problem solving. This process came into the glaring spotlight in 2020 in real time. I observed how science was misunderstood. Misinformation was rampant. 🧪 techingitapart.substack.com/p/we-have-a-...

A tiny human (2?) wearing a single bright yellow sandal is walking along holding Dad's hand. Dad looks down and says: "Where's your shoe pumpkin?" Tiny Human looks up and shrugs. "Ya don't know?" Tiny Human shakes her head. "Wanna see if we can find it?" Solemn nod. The mission begins! (2)

Back at the start of the Trump II administration, it was disorienting to watch powerful law firms preemptively surrender and genuflect before the King Turns out it was because the people in charge were close friends with Epstein and were worried about getting outed www.ft.com/content/7001...

Unmute. This is amazing and I love him for it

Hey Midwesterners! Please wear a mask!!

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

Reminder that "jaywalking" was literally made up by american car manufacturers to shift the blame for accidents from drivers to pedestrians. "Jay" was a slang term meaning "idiot" or "rube".

This watermark graffiti by street artist Mathieu Tremblin is, like, the best thing ever.

One of the things I want to do this year is start selling art. I thought I'd start small with a Valentine's card. I thought a knotwork anatomical heart would be both pretty and different. Anyway, here's my cardiologist nightmare fuel, that may or may (k)not become a card. #SciArt #watercolor

and a little extra birb for #Birbfest2026 - Palestine Sunbird 🇵🇸✨ #SciArt #birds 🪶

here we are peeps, 32 birbs #Birbfest2026 more or less got them all under 20min, with a few more shimmery poofy ones taking an extra few minutes my fav is still that silly horizontal nuthatch #SciArt #birds 🪶

For us lady scholars, who have been known to critique homogenous male academic cliques and spaces as exclusionary… consider the money and elite networks that ALL these men benefitted from. All because those lady scholars were likely a bit less interested in sexually assaulting 14 year old girls.

Here’s Duke behavioral economist Dan Ariely asking Jeffrey Epstein for “the name and email of the redhead that was here with you.” This is four years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.

Austin has authorized Tesla taxis and they are getting into crashes at a rate 10x that of regular drivers, despite having front seat safety monitors so they're not 100 percent self driving even sherwood.news/tech/teslas-...

It is legitimately shocking that a company's $1.6 trillion valuation is based on 5 cars in Austin, Texas and an unlawful marketing scheme. Tesla can be summarized as illegal marketing and illegal market manipulation to meet milestones for an illegal executive compensation plan. That's it.

New NHTSA crash data, combined with Tesla’s new disclosure of robotaxi mileage, reveals Tesla’s autonomous vehicles are crashing at a rate much higher than human drivers, and that’s with a safety monitor in every car. Tesla has reported 9 crashes involving its robotaxi fleet in Austin, TX. /1

It’s so heavy when you are going to get groceries and you find a car sitting with its windows broken out and it’s empty but still running and someone’s stuffed animals or pictures or papers are just laying all over the road. I have personally seen at least five of these in the last three days alone

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold. It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

there’s gotta be a pokemon of this

If Congress refuses to dissolve the agency that was only created ≈ 25 years ago, fine. But officers can't have weapons anymore. No firearms, tasers, chemical munitions, flashbangs, billy clubs, pepper spray, NOTHING. You're a glorified process server, you don't need weapons.

Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

How? How do you double-check the accuracy, if you're not already an expert? Ask a different GenAI? Or do you, you know... Have to go and do the research you would have done anyway, pre-AI? Because I'm buggered if I can think of how you do that in a way where the GenAI saved you time.

This. Remember they cut healthcare for this.

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

Stochastic Terrorism is terrorism. The president is a terrorist.

you can't build genAI without first extracting, without compensation, all the existing intellectual and creative works you can get your hands on. genAI cannot be produced if you actually pay for its inputs, and the people building it are on record saying as much

This is better than anything Tim Walz has said

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it: Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live." That's a death threat. If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.
