If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.

4 years ago today, I got my offer of pub for CRIP UP THE KITCHEN. 3 years ago today, it went to the printer (1 year is an extremely rushed production cycle for a cookbook oof). Today is the perfect day to buy it for yourself or the disabled people in your life! julessherred.com/crip-up-the-...

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

Something I still can't figure out is how a reference to the "USS Hiroshima"—which does not exist—made it into an official DLA procurement doc. My total speculation is it was a dark joke meant as a placeholder that slipped through and got published.

Scientists: have you been the target of an online harassment campaign, doxxing, or weaponized FOIA requests? I'd like to talk to you about steps you had to take to protect your digital security for an upcoming Nature story. (You can be anonymous if necessary.) RTs appreciated.

This. Political reporters as a group (honorable exceptions, etc.) know nothing about science—how it's done and especially, how to read such results. They are thus patsies for RFK Jr. & anti-vax grifters more generally. Used to treating quotes as facts, they become conduits for unexamined bullshit.

A baby died of whooping cough in Kentucky… it’s the third child death from the disease in the past 12 months. Measles and whooping cough are highly preventable with vaccination. Sadly none of the children or their mothers were vaccinated. One more example of the harm being wrought by RFK Jr

Don’t kid yourself, Jimmy — if a British cow ever got the chance, it’d eat you and everyone you care about

The Endangered Species Act has saved thousands of animals and plants from threats like poaching, habitat loss, and pollution. In total, it has prevented the extinction of 99% of the species it has protected. Now, Trump has weakened or eliminated key provisions of the bedrock environmental law.

The EU court has ruled that Poland must recognise the marriage of a Polish same-sex couple who married in Germany, even though Polish law does not allow such marriages. The ruling requires Poland to change its system for recognising such marriages so as not to discriminate against same-sex couples.

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union. They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration. More updates TK.

Another Member of Scottish Parliament (@ross-greer.bsky.social was at a demo two weeks ago as well) joins the fired workers outside Rockstar North in Edinburgh. "I stand with the workers. I hope that they will be reinstated before Christmas to this job that they love..."

Any time corporate executives are in a room together and don't know they're being recorded, the transcript is like: "Christ, I hate our customers. We're agreed that we all hate our customers? Let's lie to the IRS, criminally. Did I mention the Holocaust never happened? Put more lead in our soda."

Any one of these massive AAA videogame companies could file suit against the 6-piece Chicken McNobody ringleaders harassing their employees, and that they don't is a choice. I said before of goobergate that the industry enjoys having a bunch of unpaid Pinkertons around too much to ever give it up.

Between this and the Rockstar snitch, my sad conclusion is you should never assume work has your back. I don't say this to victim blame, but from my experience, if you're trouble, even through no fault of your own,colleagues you thought were friends will nope out real fast

WASHINGTON (AP) — Judge dismisses cases against James Comey and Letitia James after finding that prosecutor was illegally appointed.

Emmanuel’s story enraged many Houston residents as community members grappled with the cruelty of keeping a disabled child locked away from his mother. This article was published in partnership with @thebarbedwire.com:

This is a huge win that you might have missed last week: we successfully pressured airlines to shut down their data broker, which was selling passenger data to the government without a court order. I'm going to keep at it until other industries to follow suit.

Current mood after working on a million things non-stop since the beginning of October

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

"fast becoming the new affordability frontier"? Seems to me we've been there for years already.

Please, please read this entire thread. It is fantastically written and an even better read - you deserve to arrange some time for yourself, and to to partake of this story.

Disability advocates and their supporters have called on the Massachusetts legislature to pass a bill banning the use of ‘aversive therapy’, as the state’s Judge Rotenberg Center (JRC) continues to administer electric shocks to disabled children.

This show is not everyone's cup of tea but it sure is mine and I think Duplass and Brice have created a truly great character here who straddles comedy and horror in ways nobody else has even tried to do:

If this does turn into a pandemic, don’t worry, Jay Bhattacharya has a plan! You need to exercise! sciencebasedmedicine.org/bhattacharya...

“Prosecutors think they’ve found a constitutional loophole — if you can’t punish reporting it, punish transporting it.” We wrote for @theintercept.com about how efforts to criminalize possession of words threaten press freedom.

A year ago, flyers promoting vaccines were prevalent across the Navajo Nation. But as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has put his stamp on federal immunization policy, the Indian Health Service’s messaging on immunizations has taken a stark turn. By @maryhudetz.bsky.social

Transgender awareness week is over, you are unaware that you are transgender

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people. It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

While Maryland Gov. Moore posted about Trans Day of Rememberance, his state was torturing a trans woman by denying her hormones and housing her with men--according to her lawyer--for 2 months. All of this for "hate crime" charges from alleged vandalism of a trans symbol near a Catholic school.

“I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers.” Heartbreaking piece by Tatiana Schlossberg, President Kennedy’s granddaughter and RFK Jr.’s cousin. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

top 5 autistic girl experiences: 1. trying to fit in to the point where you don't know who you are anymore 2. "friend group" who leaves you out of the plans 3. being unhealthily obsessed with your friends 4. everyone telling you "its hormones" so you don't get help 5. being chronically online

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
