@hiddenschools.bsky.social Gotta say thank you for putting together the synopsis for the Craft books. Especially the later ones (Ruin of Angels and Wicked Problems) have SO much going on that even having read these, your synopsis was pointing out details I think I missed the first time!

Vitamin A won't cure measles. A 'healthy diet' won't stop you from getting measles. "Wellness" doesn't make you immune to disease and disability. The people who push these ideas are eugenicists. They are conditioning you to believe disability and chronic illness is our fault.

I don’t know. Maybe we should deport anyone with 34 or more felony convictions.

Marth Stewart went to prison for insider trading on *one* stock. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought *17* stocks just before Donald Trump declared his "pause" in tariffs that caused those stocks to rise in value. How many others were tipped off? How many stocks did Donald buy? Ivanka? Mike Johnson?

The final poster. THE LIFE OF CHUCK drops in June. I love this movie!

I don't often lack words for what I'm seeing, but I am absolutely without words: TX-03 Congressman really just quoted Joseph Goebbels and then walked out of the committee like he hit a home run.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

Yep

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND LISTEN TO THIS BILLY JOEL CLASSIC FROM BRAK

“Libertarian” tech bros cheering on the abolition of work from home tells you a lot. These people aren’t for innovation, results, responsibility, and personal choice. They are authoritarians. They worship control and hierarchy.

I see that Melania chose to wear her Hamburglar hat to honor the criminals in the nation--and next to her.

I really, really don't want to do this, but let's do a bit (just a LITTLE BIT) of fact checking about what Zuck said on the Joe Rogan podcast, because this is something I not only followed closely, but also spent time *talking to the actual people at Meta who dealt with this* which WAS NOT ZUCK.

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.

For the record, you deserve every cent of every promised Social Security payment after you spend a lifetime earning benefits.

This is the graphic that finally got my mom to shut up about this particular issue. Perhaps it will be useful for some of you, too.

I am enraged by the media, doctors, and politicians who are sane washing RFK Jr and claiming some common ground. Common ground only exists when there are genuinely good intentions, but anti science grifters are not presenting good faith arguments. There is no common ground, only a slippery slope.

Having to block so many thirst trap "followers". After reading about the way lists proliferate it seems needful to not ignore it but it is unending.

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

Listened to @marawilson.bsky.social on the most recent episode of @nightvaleradio.bsky.social. She does a perfect job as Faceless Woman and I wish there was more. Tone and cadence and the sly script fit like clockwork. (The other shorts were really good too. I simply liked hers the best!)

This didn’t get enough media attention when it happened so I’m posting it again. The Biden’s were not only innocent, they were framed. And the GOP knew it and amplified the lie anyway.

Funny/Not-Funny in a wholly unsurprising way.

sam altman, 17.9 billion dollars ago: AGI will give us super powers. it will solve every problem and we will live forever sam altman, now: i guess it's pretty much just a chatbot. (shrugging) whaddyagonna do

Because this CLEARLY needs a wider audience, here is a short German workplace safety training video (with English subtitles): Forklift Truck Driver Klaus is about to experience his first day at work! youtu.be/TJYOkZz6Dck

Never, ever put off buying book one of something because book two isn't out. That's a good way to ensure book two is dropped by the publisher. Sure, a couple of big noisy boys have let you down. Most of us can, do, and are burning to in fact finish what we started, given half a chance.

Don't lie. To yourself, or to us. If we actually want robust veteran care, one of the first steps would be acknowledging that the GOP has ✨historically✨ been against properly funding the VA, since loooong before Trump or MAGA. You can't get over an impediment if you won't acknowledge why it exists.

Very happy to have written my very own minor mode for #emacs and put it out there (in a limited way) for folks to use.

imagine if someone promised human cloning then handed you an animatronic baby, and when you pointed out it was a robot covered in rubber, they told you the technology would improve, while someone from WIRED wrote an article about how they believed it was a baby this is genAI

Toxicologist here for any fluoride concerns! The amount of fluoride added to water to prevent tooth decay is so minuscule that—no matter your age, size, or health status—you would die from water poisoning long before you could ever even start getting toxicity from fluoride. Fluoridated water is safe

I’m still thinking about this woman in Georgia—miscarrying and hemorrhaging ‘dinner plate-sized clots’—who, even after qualifying for an abortion, couldn’t skip the state’s 24-hour waiting period because she wasn’t close enough to dying. This is torture

I want Kamala Harris to run a commercial about this shit non stop in Texas. After offering to pay for the funeral of fallen soldier Vanessa Guillen, Trump got angry and said “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f*cking Mexican! Don't pay it." No money was ever received for the funeral.

please keep going with “dipshit” please bring back “weird” it was WORKING and it resonates with people and it’s actually extremely important to point out when the emperor has no clothes and also Musk (like Trump) gets off on being hated but cannot handle being mocked

I am begging everyone everywhere to never lose sight of just what a complete and total shitheel Trump has always been and always will be. Not a single scrap of decency anywhere inside. This is who Republicans willingly gave their souls to.

Many people don’t seem to understand how decentralized the terrorism of a second Trump term will be. That’s the big idea behind Project 2025. It doesn’t matter if Trump can’t directly oversee something. He has tens of thousands of little fascists who will be operating autonomously to remake society.

Good morning

Relevant Texas news for people considering whether or not to vote: the Supreme Court just blessed letting pregnant Texans die in ERs. Dem Senate nominee Colin Allred could help confirm new justices and reform the court www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Trump is openly running on election fraud, weaponizing DOJ, deporting 6-8 percent of the population, crippling tariffs, and imprisoning dissenters. It’s the most authoritarian, anti-freedom platform in modern presidential history. This is the November cover of the leading libertarian magazine.

Will Ferrell has an enormous audience of straight dudes who need to hear this. Nothing but facts here about anti-trans bigotry:

my new life motto

X’s lawsuit against two related ad industry trade groups “sits at the uncomfortable junction of antitrust law and free speech,” EFF’s Mitch Stoltz told @motherjones.bsky.social.

Reminder: Trump liked what China did.

We need people to write stories that ease the heart

Walz is proof that the pundits who demand that Dems “appeal to rural voters” don’t mean “explain progressive policy in a way that connects with rural voters” they mean “be conservative in a way that I, the pundit, personally agree with” fuck ‘em

what if instead of being transphobic garbage, KOSA was actually the Kids Outside Safety Act and it was a sweeping federal investment in modern bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure (w/ shade trees) across the nation so that the most vulnerable members of society are able to safety go outside to play

“Spyware represents a grave threat to the student press and free speech on campus. It also conditions students to expect government surveillance and may create an assumption that nothing a student does at school — or at home — should be beyond the authority of administrators.”
