And this is something the current pre unfortunately does well. He names a problem along with what he thinks is the cause and then says what violent thing he’ll be doing to address it

I don't think politicians should say "people will die" without explaining what they're doing to stop/minimize that

“The apes were particularly fond of figs, which contained some of the highest levels of alcohol the team recorded” www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Reading the article you’d never know that the gun range in question is operated by the Katy Police Dept.

That is not grief or sadness. She’s excited about her new Christian spotlight. That’s a grift. Also; calm down on the eyeliner; we know you’re a demon; we get it.

Elites would rather burn their countries to the ground than allow the masses to make one of their own face consequences for anything. Universally true

To anyone who followed Aadhaar’s rollout in India, the language is uncanny. Aadhaar’s ‘savings’ were derived from welfare denied. Countries need to pay attention to the language around surveillance tech in other countries. We’re all stumbling over different iterations of the same problems.

“My big worry is that all this digital stuff won’t be there when we would like it to be there, or when our descendants would like to have it,” says Internet pioneer Vint Cerf. 🧪⚛️ ow.ly/s5qp50X00go

If you get arrested at a protest, and you need to fight a charge, who's your lawyer? A public defender may represent you at arraignment. (Love you, PDs!) Afterward, usually it's an NLG lawyer, working for free. The NLG Chicago needs your support. (ACLU doesn't do crim defense, with exceptions.)

ICYMT: Ms. Magazine has a timely article on anti-abortion violence coming out in the print magazine laterthis month. It appears in four parts online: msmagazine.com/2025/09/16/a... msmagazine.com/2025/09/17/g... msmagazine.com/2025/09/18/r... msmagazine.com/2025/09/19/a...

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

“‘It is tested in war zones, the border, tested in cities along the border and tested in the interior of the country,’ said Dave Maass, director of investigations at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a privacy rights organization. ‘That tends to be the trajectory we see.’”

The USGS has issued an aftershock report for the next week. 🔹There is a 27% chance of M3+ aftershocks 🔹There is a 4% chance of M4+ aftershocks. 🔹There is a 2% chance that this earthquake becomes a foreshock to a larger earthquake. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Mitt called it "self-deportation," and it's the only way you could ever make a dent in the undocumented population. And you have to do it at the expense of every American freedom and value we've ever aspired to have.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It's like they made a clone of Goebbels but somehow the volume got stuck on "screeching banshee"

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

This piece argues we’re in not one, but three AI bubbles: 1. a financial bubble with inflated valuations, 2. an infrastructure bubble with overbuilt data centers, 3. a hype bubble where AI can’t meet its promises. Honestly, all three seem highly likely to me.

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.

Too many man city players down for no reason

And… Saka!!!

Yes, @jeannetteoho.bsky.social and I are working on a special issue on May Ayim, which will appear next fall 2026. The contributions are truly great and offer different perspectives that explore the literary works of this fabulous writer.

Madueke looking good on the wing, dangerous

put Eze in

A lot to do but going to relish the fact that I’ve received proofs for a thing I wrote. Another boost

I feel like im living in a mockumentary

Farewell to Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce, the Pocket Rocket who blazed a trail through athletics that few could even dream of! Olympics: 3 Gold, 4 Silver, 1 Bronze World Championships: 10 Gold, 6 Silver, 1 Bronze Total: 25 global medals One of the greatest! 📸: REUTERS/Eloisa Lopez

Jason Bateman is best when he’s playing a scumbag. Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing

The daily mail thinks that the problem with the ai clips of the dead guy being played in church is that the dead guy never said those words? 😂

Oh

Some people are saying it's Tuesday and I'm going to be honest as a journalist: YOU CANNOT FACT CHECK THE RAPTURE

It went from "they came for the comedians" to "they came for the reporters" in 24 hours.

LMAO WUT

Make this anthology series nowwwwww

Pretty insane that there are ICE recruiting commercials just playing all the time now.

I guess I need to invite the anthro librarian to class

So I just saw Rebecca Lobo in the airport and managed to not disturb her

This is quite accurate. V few people under the age of 35 use either BlueSky or X.

Paul Verhoeven has been tapped to direct reality itself now, I see

i somehow didn’t expect that a two-day workshop on pandemic risk modeling was gonna force me to clarify some arguments

As in: all those unprecedented massive zoom meetings that energized Harris's campaign in the first two weeks are the problem & the folks who mismanaged it horribly in the months after are the solution.

Oop

And then the president. it never occurs to these people that they lose nothing that they already wouldn’t have lost by resisting. In other words, your giving in, your surrendering, does not save you. it doesn’t preserve your position; it makes you more vulnerable.

25% of Drs in US are foreign grads. Many are on an H1B visa. This will hit health systems hard especially rural hospitals and hospitals in underserved areas that sponsor these visas through waiver programs. The old cost was about 5000$ a year. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Thinking about how this paragraph could be the precursor to, “and I vote no. I condemn violence in this moment, and in the targeting of my colleagues in x and y…” or whatever.

Survey says

imagine relying on AI to write your bio and then having the nerve to say you're witty and full of personality
