Having social media access made growing up gay 1 million times easier (I don’t think I would even know I was gay as a teen if it weren’t for social media), but it also made growing up progressive and informed possible. Social media was where I learned about abortion rights, for starters

Just sitting here watching Majority Report and I was randomly reminded about how there were internal messages in UK Labour of people hoping Corbyn lost so that that wing would be disempowered and now there is a huge Labour majority and the leader had to resign and the party seemingly reviled by all.

The three largest RAM manufacturers in the world are being sued for allegedly working together to fix the supply and price of memory, leading to the recent surge in price for consumers. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/ram-man...

even if it was good policy, this shit is completely ancillary to the goal of actually limiting the power of big tech. Elon Musk has a trillion dollars and is trying to start a global race war, your response to that can’t be “kids should be on their phones less”

I just came across her channel by random chance but shout out to @maggiemaefish.bsky.social who is also part of a cool looking horror short called "Blow" which is about a Blow Up Doll that exacts vengeance by luring deserving victims into her her dollhouse 😁

My wife seems to have thrown an unhandled exception upon learning that I haven't really seen much of Jackass.

Once again, if you have never been to a WNBA game, I am pleading with you to go. The best vibes of any sporting event I have ever attended. The nonbinary lawyer who got presented with an award during a timeout for their work with LGBTQ kids seeking asylum got a standing ovation.

Things I never thought I would type: look at how they greeted the Algerian team arriving back at the DoubleTree in Lawrence, Kansas

I dunno man if I was going to make definitive statements about someone else's ideology being against the basic premise of morality, I'd probably defend that claim a little better than whatever this was.

Tens of thousands celebrated Budapest Pride, the first since Viktor Orbán’s ousting.

The cooling system was installed by the village AC technician, Thermodynamix 😊

friend at a big tech co just told me that her company's chatbot and their client's chatbot have been caught in a mutual support loop for several days that has generated nearly 20k emails

Hey, Adios is 45% off! store.steampowered.com/app/1271400/... $10. 2 hrs. One of the best voice-acted games in history. Two men who love each other very much are trying to persuade the other to stand down, because if one of them doesn't, the Farmer will have to be killed.

New York freezes rents for almost one million homes in political success for Mayor Mamdani

Daily bunny no.3361 spends a night aboveground

Batman: The Dark Knight Roguelike developers release first screenshot of Batman fighting the Joker. .......... ........... .....BJ.. ............

These are the actions of an authoritarian regime, where their agents come to intimidate you if you share public information about how they have killed American citizens

So...VPD posted an AI slop photo of a drug bust, deleted the post, and reposted a 'corrected' version of the photo. Thankfully the Tums turned into coins and the bills look more like legal tender. Cops using AI to generate politically-motivated content seems like a pretty big deal.

Thank you all. For everything. Please don't let anyone say that the results of the NY-03 primary prove that a progressive candidate can't win. I started absurdly late. No ads. No mailers. I spent the last 4 months afraid that I might get <100 votes. More than 5,200 people—20%—voted for change.

I feel like this is the some of the better news I've seen in a long time.

It is really funny seeing Fox News speak poorly of a candidate and cite that that candidate said mean things about Kamala Harris as though their audience would some how see that as disqualifying.

We have an opportunity in this moment. A responsibility. To insist on everyone’s humanity, all the way through.

Me in 1768: I dislike the new Prime Minister and the Steam Machine is still too expensive. Me in 2026: I dislike the new Prime Minister and the Steam Machine is still too expensive.

I’ve always been amazed at how the Manhattan Institute gets taken so seriously by so many when it hires people like this. I mean, this is pretty shockingly vile racism for a someone at a “respectable” think tank to spew.

The Supreme Court's fifth and final decision is Blanche v. Lau, another 6–3 split. Per Thomas, the government does NOT require clear and convincing evidence that a green card holder committed a crime before divesting them of their lawful status at the border. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Republicans stripped all that language out and are throwing billions at Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk for expensive, slower, satellite service they had either ALREADY DEPLOYED, or already planned to deploy. Curiously I don't think any major outlet had bothered to explain this all yet.

Keir Starmer spent all the political capital of a landslide victory on trying to out-transphobia and out-xenophobia fascists and now he's being ceremonially placed in a contraption less than two years later and none of the people who think this is a foolproof electoral strategy will acknowledge it

has anyone done this yet

You’re gonna be alright son.

Same office that covered up prosecutor's crimes in the Broadview Six case just covered up a police shooting. Feds said a teen beat up a cop before he's shot. They have clear video evidence showing the kid just squirmed away from him. They hid it from the judge. Judge just set a sanctions hearing.

Ask your son, you incorrigible racist grifter!

An EvoBio/SpecEvo thread: Why do some animals get really big? Why don't ALL animals get really big? And why do I automatically see it as pretty silly when a fictional animal is portrayed as larger than a Blue Whale?

this quote you're about to see everywhere, I don't think it's real. here's the video it's supposed to be from www.youtube.com/live/ho_Zmwg... and here is a transcript gist.github.com/david-crespo... nothing like this is in it. which makes sense because it doesn't sound like him at all

I wasn’t going to ask, but honestly, getting disability has been the worst experience and the brain fog + fatigue combo is unfortunately unhelpful for making the process smooth. So…sigh:

Honestly and seriously? Gillibrand should resign.

The remake of just one of the movies she starred in made over a billion dollars last year alone, and she still died in poverty from an extremely preventable infection. We need universal healthcare or we don’t have basic human rights.

nothing in the US is getting better until we start start treating this kind of thing as what it is: a form of bribery

If you've seen the Juneteenth flag, but don't know its history or what it means, you can read about it in the words of Ben Haith, the man who designed it. Happy Emancipation Day! ✊🏽 #Juneteenth capitalbnews.org/juneteenth-f...

Playing Vampire 2 and have decided that after 100 years my Phyre is super horny for anyone interested and picks every flirt option.

Just oozing The Juice, as they say. No hesitation recalling the big plays by the players and when they did it. Man loves his team (and his city)

This is the pol the Democratic Party tried to keep at arms length.

I wonder what people who are still litigating 2016 have to say.

Hey!! If your company is giving you Juneteenth off tomorrow, take five minutes to read what the day is about and THEN drop a lil money at a Black-owned local business. Be real punk rock about it
