There are almost no crustaceans in the deep ocean. Not because they would get crushed, but because they would DISSOLVE. The cold & high pressure cause changes to water that make it very corrosive to calcium carbonate shells. But there's one crustacean who solves this problem with ALUMINUM ARMOR.

Amazon sets the routes, the quotas, the uniforms, the cameras — and then tells workers they don't actually work for Amazon. Every delivery worker in this city should be able to afford to live here and have their rights respected. Workers deserve better.

Republicans couldn't get the Save Act through legitimately, so they are trying to sneak it in through the budget.

Everyone okay?

As a reminder, the American Academy of Pediatrics called this “torture.”

I hate this man so fucking much.

Keep calling your reps! It's working!

WASHINGTON (AP) - House passes bill to aid Ukraine and sanction Russia in a sign of impatience with Trump's approach to the war.

I know it’s become cliche and cringe to talk about this in 2026, but if you’re like under 25 years old, and I cannot stress this enough how one time, Obama wore a tan suit and people spent weeks arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office. And they were serious about it.

Trump lasted--what was it? 90 seconds? 2 minutes?--with Stormy.

"maga leads to flesh eating disease" headlines just write themselves

"The demand Ursa Ag has seen is part of the backlash to manufacturer repair monopolies and the injection of technology and internet-connected sensors and terms of use into even the most basic of gadgets."

Yeah, it's substack. I'm sorry. This is fucken brilliant. We need 100 more AOCs. open.substack.com/pub/ifloz/p/...

"Across the continent, the ability of ordinary citizens to document, resist, and speak out is under constant pressure. [...] unconventional advocacy tools, including film, are gaining traction among human rights defenders seeking to bypass traditional gatekeepers and reach a wider audience."

Every time data centers are brought up, I'm reminded of a recent meeting I had with a person working in that sector who mentioned how important power demand modeling was, because they projected if the grid were to go down in Phoenix during peak summer, 30,000 people would die in the first 24 hours

A new month means new price drops and (re-)releases!

We lost Jonathan Joss exactly One Year ago today. A neighbor burned his house, killed his dogs and shot him in the street for being Gay. Never forget Jonathan Joss. #KingOfTheHill #JohnRedcorn

It turns out that you can't bully yourself into getting better from type 2 diabetes any more than you can bully yourself into getting better from any other disease, and no matter how many people get a kick out of believing it, a lie will remain a lie.

Might’ve laughed a bit too hard at this.

"He created a hostile work environment." Irony is dead.

THANK YOU KATIE PHANG AND BEN MEISELAS.......

Is this not just a way to put the public on the hook for when the crash hits. Like wouldn’t it essentially just nationalize the bailout we all know is gonna happen

Scott Pelley is a hero.

If we ever get past this time of concentrated fascism, PBS has to come back with a vengeance. I don't just mean Sesame Street. I mean government funding should be put into it to make it something to rival HBO. And everybody who left 60 Minutes should get together and start a news division there.

Have you no shame, CNN journalists? At long last, have you no shame? THIS IS NOT HOW YOU DO JOURNALISM. THERE IS NO ACTUAL NEWS HERE.

Member of @authorsabb.bsky.social @jerroldconnors.bsky.social came through in the best way and assembled this for us all! Know thine shitty bills!

i know the White House thinks it's cute that nobody in the administration has real responsibilities beyond fluffing the president on TV, but that disaster of a press briefing by Dr Oz is a reminder that it's actually good to know what you're talking about

Did YOU?

According to estimates, nearly half of graduate programs in fields like art, music, theater, and dance would fail the test. If a program loses federal loan eligibility, many students may no longer be able to afford to attend, forcing them to transfer, switch majors, or leave school.

The Department of Education is finalizing a rule that would judge college programs based on how much money graduates make after leaving school. Programs whose graduates don’t earn enough compared to their student debt would lose access to federal student loans.

FL doesn’t have personal income tax. DeSantis has claimed the state will make up the difference but there is no concrete proposal as to how. Also he won’t be the one in office to fulfill that promise. He is term limited.

The ultimate aim here is preemption of local rule, giving Tallahassee ultimate control over local spending, with cities/counting queuing up in a bread line for basic necessities for operating costs. And tax payers won’t see that ultimate cost when checking a box to lower their tax burden.

The FL GOP legislature have signed a death warrant for local government by exempting the first $250K in homestead value from property taxes at a cost of billions to local government budgets, gutting essential services and putting new restrictions on local spending. The question now goes to voters.

This is how politicians of the Labour right used to deal with the fash, btw

The New York Times—during Pride—published an essay about the joys of being heterosexual. So in the spirit of not doing that, here's my conversation with @chescaleigh.bsky.social about coming out late, finding your queer self on your own timeline, and why it's never too late to be gay.

San Francisco has a lot of issues that would be much easier to address if absolutely everybody voted in elections like the one today. Corporate slimeballs count on you not voting.

I don't think we should outlaw heterosexuality I really don't I know it's got some issues, and there's all the toxic sludge that spatters on the rest of us, but people should be allowed to be straight if that's what's in their hearts maybe there should be a waiting period or counseling tho IDK

oh no how will we generate pure unrefined mediocrity from the midden heap of stolen human interactions where will I get my fresh artbarf, my hot steaming infoslurry

The entire reason AI is being deployed in schools is to funnel money out of schools and into tech companies. Whatever reasons you've convinced yourself that AI edtech is necessary, regardless of how "useful" you think it is, it's sole purpose is to pad the pockets of the wealthy.

This is what they've done.

ETTD

One of the biggest difficulties is reconciling with one's self-perception as a good person versus the harm they've caused. And that most of us cannot think of ourselves as monsters because if we did it would be difficult to like live.

I was listening to this cult podcast and one of the things they said about cults in particular is that many people who are in a cult are both victims and perpetrators. The cult lets them rationalize doing horrific things as actually being good. But when they leave and start deprogramming /1

Air conditioning is unapologetically a good thing because it helps people not die. And one good thing about air conditioning is that it largely needs to run during the day when solar power is at its maximum: it can and should align with clean energy goals.

Trump's sweeping plan to desecrate Washington makes everybody sane hate it. The president's delusions of architectural grandeur span a $400M Epstein Ballroom, an insanely grandiose 250-foot arch, and dozens of other stupid, tacky building proposals such as painting everything blue. FIFY.

Somehow we need to get the tacticool people to realize that Big Crisis where you finally get to Be A Hero and Prove Your Worth might never happen but every time you talk to someone you get a brand-new opportunity to be a decent human.

My aunt, Priscilla Stephens Kruize (the niece of Robert Stephens from THE REFORMATORY) can no longer live on her own at age 87. Our family has launched a fundraiser to help. I fictionalized Aunt Priscilla’s activism “The Rider” in Jordan Peele’s OUT THERE SCREAMING www.gofundme.com/f/help-prisc...
