This makes me so sad for our species.

I wouldn’t say I have gained book sales on Bluesky, necessarily, but X never sold a single book for me. I miss the Twitter that was, but that bird is dead.

Send another with a burn unit!

Yep.

apnews.com/article/gill... This case was ALL OVER the Florida news in 2018, DeSantis mentioned the FBI investigation MULTIPLE times during his campaign against Gillum. He _barely_ won an election that changed Florida state history, yet the FBI lost the 7 year legal battle that smeared Gillum

Today is the 3rd slopiversary of us having to temporarily close submissions. The problem of "AI"-generated submissions hasn't gone away and is still a huge waste of our time. House policy remains the same: #noAI stories, translation, art, or anything else.

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape

My favorite line in the article: “Whether an Eldritch horror climbing out of a bathroom mirror requires a physical renovation remains unclear.”

The FCC prohibited Colbert for broadcasting this interview with James Talarico on CBS. So he put it on YouTube. We are deep in the dictatorship now, y’all. Also, Talarico deserves a listen. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

May this fire horse soar.

Oh look, a country that recognizes and appreciates the sacrifices its people make. My grandma was Ukrainian. I would be proud to be Ukrainian in a way that I am not proud to be from the U.S.

So many heroes. Here is one.

In the drawer of silverware I am the squishy-tipped baby spoon you kept long after the kids were grown because it’s quiet, not clangy, when you use it to stir the cream in your coffee.

“What do you think the odds are that person is a goat fucker?!” Grade A trolling

Dem leadership for generations: no you fool, you infant. It is a process. It takes time and political capital and expertise, it's- Mamdani, dusting off his hands: fixed it Dem leadership: what do you mean you fixed it Mamdani: Just had to unplug it.

This is what embodying the American spirit looks like. Alex Pretti is America. Renee Good is America. Liam Ramos is America. We are all the disenfranchised, downtrodden, and despondent. They are us. H/t @jamestalarico.bsky.social

Tell me five classes you took in college: - women mystery writers - astronomy in science fiction - history of witchcraft - Japanese speculative fiction - a liberal arts honors class that showed me how correlation is not causation and how most social science news reporting gets this so wrong

Romancelandia! Just look at @mostlybree.kitrocha.com go!

Nothing is a distraction from anything else, they just have limited mental capacity to be mad and we don't, so multi-task that rage, y'all.

When people are brave and beautiful and good.

what is pining if not denial persevering

Trump just declared a national emergency over Cuba — and quietly gave himself authority to tariff third countries that sell oil to Havana. Emergency powers. Vague definitions. Trade as punishment. This is bigger than Cuba. Factcheck coming in asap.

This is absurd to put all of those CBP agents involved in the murder of Alex Pretti back onto the streets already. They pose a very real, proven danger to the community.

Alex Pretti was a hero whose government murdered him.

If folks don't know what to do with their rage today, and they have cash, I suggest going to standwithminnesota.com and finding someone who needs help

All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

An FBI agent who was pressured into dropping an investigation of Jonathan Ross has resigned. Every institution of federal government has fallen. No one can save us but ourselves. Nationwide General Strike! www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Alt text: I saw an ER nurse recommend that anyone assaulted by ICE and seeking emergency care should ask for a forensic nurse exam, since these specialists are trained to document injuries for legal purposes and that documentation can be admissible in court. —@illestdivinity💯
