I also want to draw your attention to a little linguistic trick that anti-trans groups have been using for years. Notice that they're not saying "men from women's sports" or "boys from girls' sports," but "men from girls' sports." This is intentional, and is meant to conjure up specific imagery.

Big Tech is "fracking" your attention. These activists are fighting back.

Learning from the comments that I’m apparently a “liberal Zionist” (I am …. really not)

Me and the girls out on the town

Sorry about this but why is Philadelphia’s public transit system so bad? It’s like “car directions 8 minutes, bus directions fuck you, what are you, poor” territory here

CBS staff, you have one job and that is to incept Bari Weiss into believing she can win over Isaac Chotiner.

Go ahead and read it - this was the piece that moved the needle for me over to “subscribe” to @flaminghydra.com - lots of great writers, great price… as we all now try to build our own little information universes, I think this is a very nice piece of the puzzle.

Not sure if I personally need to read anything else about the Ballerina Farm lady’s 24/7 dom/sub lifestyle

ALSO TODAY: @todseelie.bsky.social on his 2013 book BRIGHT NIGHTS and the now-ancient history of New York City it depicts, "the last gasp of freedom before mobile social media took over our lives, and remade the way we view, move through, and experience the world." flaminghydra.com/bright-nights/

The references are very explicit. The kind of troll postint we’re seeing from this administration is unprecedented. People have killed because of the QAnon conspiracy theory. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Emily Sundberg isn’t a journalist and that’s why people like Zuckerberg will talk to her. There’s zero risk of a real question 🙃🙃🙃

examples of what the FBI included as evidence of "Antifa terrorism" in the Prairieland case: -Narcan spray -Anarchist tattoos -a highlighted copy of Emergent Strategy -a zine made of a 2019 review of Hereditary and Midsommar from @reproutopia.bsky.social -First Aid Kits -seeds for garden vegetables

I'm not gonna say the Times had this story ready to go but

Employees at Scientific American were told today that the magazine has been sold to LabX Media Group, the outfit that runs Discover Magazine and IFLScience. And that means -- of course! -- editorial layoffs. The media mass extinction rolls ever onward.

Literally just read this (you should also subscribe to @flaminghydra.com after all, you get each new daily effort delivered to your inbox) and what a great, great piece. Salut to @annamerlan.bsky.social for sure.

Over the weekend, I wrote about my long-ago inglorious days as a record store clerk for @flaminghydra.com: flaminghydra.com/a-brief-hist... (If you see the bonus photo of how my hair used to look at the time, I would prefer that we.....did not ever discuss it)

Someone just sent me an unsolicited “demo” of their business, which is facile and incorrect AI slop written in “my voice.” While I have never been more grossed out, I love that the robot couldn’t even put a computer in this photo of “me” surrounded by, I guess, my hoarding problem?

So @jonswaine.bsky.social @washingtonpost.com has seen hundreds of documents containing evidence that Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence, was directed throughout her career by the leader of the cult she grew up in www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Happy Father’s Day to everyone who has learned a lot of trivia about Abraham Lincoln over the years

AI makes people worse at the things they’re good at.

A fetid algae soup is actually a good metaphor though

Whew this is ironic www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Hegseth proudly ended the flu vaccine requirement for the military. Following this idiocy, only 40% of new trainees got vaccinated. There’s now a flu outbreak at an AF facility. A new recruit has died, though it is not clear if it was from flu. Now, the flu vaccine is again required there.

Okay sorry, why does Joe Rogan look like that now

The “Freedom 250” UFC fight at the White House features ad placement for the Saudis, along with gambling and crypto companies.

This is why Defector is great: I don’t understand 60 percent of these words and I can still tell this is a good blog defector.com/jalen-brunso...

It’s a strange and perhaps fitting irony that Elon Musk’s rhetoric comes the same week he could turn into the world’s first trillionaire with a SpaceX initial public offering that could tank your retirement fund.

Chief MAGA propagandist Benny Johnson is clearly a huge fan of this lady whose name he can't spell (or the intern whose job it is to write these emails didn't bother to look it up)

If you’ve been following the “rigged election” rumors from the CA primary and thinking, gosh, haven’t we seen this all before? Well, you’re right! Sounds like you’d be competitive in a friendly and frenetic game of “Rigged Election” Bingo! uwcip.substack.com/p/rigged-ele...

The only reason I learned some German was to be fully ready to absorb how cute this is

I’m checking the score just to see if my friends are experiencing heart failure

He’s just absurdly good at this

The grand jury transcripts from the “Broadview Six” case were released this week, making it clear that they were not buying what the prosecution was selling. It’s “a crock of shit,” one juror said.

So now, of course, the president and his friends are in the position of having to claim there was fraud in the LA mayor’s race but not in the California governor’s one just yet. Let’s see how that goes! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Spencer Pratt lost his bid to become LA's next mayor. Trump and his horde are claiming the election was rigged.

I try not to be alarmist, but I think we should be paying very, very close attention to how the president and the MAGAsphere are talking about the California elections: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

MAGA has a playbook to steal the midterms. They’re using it in California.

It turns out the other person who lives in my house understands basketball well enough to tell me how many more games there are going to be. I immediately lost track but he tried

Who’s tasked with telling Trump they’re just saying “boo-urns”

ProPublica analyzed the genetic code of America’s measles outbreaks and here’s what we found: The measles virus still spreading in Utah as of this May is very closely related to the one that sickened Texans over a year ago. @natlash.bsky.social @sheinvestigates.bsky.social
