do these geniuses ever wonder why or have any way to rationalize the fact that no one in the republican party says "we need a strong democratic party, it's not healthy to have just a dominant republican party" or do they just blank out like a westworld robot

Oooh ooh I saw lightning! *checks the map* Halfway across the state.

He actually thought the chat bot was Teddy Roosevelt.

i kinda love this answer, it’s very illuminating. it’s not about female athletes at all, it’s about the fragile egos of delusional psychopathic parents who want returns on their perceived investments

Among other very bad things, the proposed and imminent rules would cause "reduced public access to weather, water, and climate information as recipients of federal funding face new restrictions on public communication of their scientific knowledge and understanding."

Let's roll! #photography #Boston #BlackAndWhite #MBTA #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono

USMNT still obviously stands for United States Mutant Ninja Turtles, and you won't convince me otherwise.

tfw you first learn about Leopold II

ICE is evading questions about whether it’s unconstitutionally tracking immigrants and the American people. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and I are fighting to make sure it faces congressional accountability—and we must abolish ICE.

I was really hoping they'd ultimately board a zeppelin at the end of this headline.

Didn't really expect "Catholic schism over Vatican 2 happens 61 years later" today, but...

The most obvi- Oh for heaven's sake. Just stay away from lighthouses, okay?

We limit the speed of ebikes "for public safety", yet this study shows we'd need to limit SUVs to 5.7 km/h for them to pose the same risk to other people #motonormativity findingspress.org/article/1587...

I don't know* who needs to be told this, but "I believe no human is illegal" has absolutely nothing to do with the Nicene Creed.

Oh my God. He’s doing it. He’s closing that cesspool.

Here’s Why Weather Forecasts Have Seemed So Inaccurate Lately. Meteorologists simply aren't able to gather as much data as they used to, and you're suffering for it. gizmodo.com/heres-why-we...

the egg price thing under biden was all fake lol

Had to dig up a hard copy for this one.

Ooooooh, it rained for *almost 40 seconds*. Weather is happening!

And as our fearless leader @herberthistory.bsky.social will be traveling this weekend, I'm hosting! Join the Revolution in heels as Historians at the Movies #HATM watches Dumplin' on @netflix.com this Sunday 7pm CT. We're sending Pride month out with a bang... and a tiara 👸. 🗃️

In a just world we would be impeaching those four justices at this moment. Actually that doesn't even scratch the surface of Justice but it's what we've got, and we're still not doing it.

hi seth! trans civil rights lawyer in massachusetts here. if “blanket” bans go too far, what do you think is the appropriate extent to which trans people should be banned from participation?

Dunno why this isn't what I expected ordering a spool of 100' of wire from DigiKey.

It’s important to understand that the Court is now just an arm of the oligarchy. This decision strips the people of the right to limit the role of money in politics. It gives billionaires special rights to buy our elections. A precondition of oligarchy.

people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...

We must do whatever it takes - including a constitutional amendment if necessary - to combat the influence of money in our political system.

You are trying to pretend we all have amnesia, Seth.

What if, instead, we had a Supreme Court with good people who had good opinions?

The average speed of a car driving in Boston is 13MPH. That is slower than the average speed of an adult on a pedal bike. Boston should block a bunch of streets from car access to create continuous corridors for the faster vehicles, bikes, to move free of the endangerment and obstruction of cars.

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov, Gov Whitmer et al: from here on the ground we cannot tell who was sent here for 250 and who wasn’t, they are all just occupying forces

So *both* a terrible idea *and* not even close to any of the urgent things

Chief Justice Roberts: “We exempt the Federal Reserve from the Slaughter decision due to its unique historical relationship with my stock portfolio.”

I remain convinced that like three 27-year-old forensic accountants could end Brett Kavanaugh in a week

i cannot stress enough how much this man should not be the democratic presidential nominee

In a little under two hours, we're watching THE AMERICAN EXPERIMENT over at #HATM. Join us!

This, but if the thing in question actually requires sitting there, The Sits might include walking into the next room without knowing why.

The silver lining here is these are still opt-in and hard to get, so they'll be nearly exclusively limited to true believers. Which means anyone who gets one has a "member of the Nazi party" passport for the next decade.

Folk, the a/c discourse is a trap. While we’re all arguing about whether Luddite-left Europeans deserve to suffer, no-one is talking about the elite fossil-fuel interests who have knowingly caused #ClimateChange and are still blocking us from halting global heating with their corruption and lies.

Remember that SoftBank a few weeks ago failed to get a 10 billion dollar loan using their stake in OpenAI as collateral, so they tried to get a 6 billion dollar loan and they still couldn’t find anyone willing to take their OpenAI stake as collateral.

I appreciate McGovern taking the time to correct the misinformation going around about demolitions. It's super frustrating that he has to though, and that the misinformation is coming from another councilor. Yeah it's Zusy. youtu.be/292vyTAQYms?...

ok this one got me
