Just want to be clear that when RFK Jr. said in the hearing today that he is “overhauling” the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force, it is because this administration wants to reduce the number of services that health insurance companies are required to cover.

...She swallowed a spider to catch the fly, I don't know why she swallowed the fly. Perhaps she'll die?

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater. This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning. Never doubt your power to change the system.

As an American. I make the decision to buy a gun and go shoot somebody. I get convicted and go to jail. An a health Insurance exec. I make the decision to deny care and kill someone. I get a bonus.

The training behind the sit-ins: how Black civil rights activists in Virginia, 1960, learned to resist smoke, slurs and physical abuse without reacting

“The pope should be careful before talking theology” is just extraordinary stuff. Top-shelf. You write one book that gets turned into a Ron Howard movie and suddenly you’re nailing your manifesto to the cathedral doors.

So, it's okay for a cat to run away and hide under the bed when visitors come, but, when I do it, it's "rude" and "antisocial."

Market manipulation is what's going on.

We kind of have to. Barring a Constitutional amendment, the U.S. will always be a two-party state. The presidency is too powerful, and to be president a candidate has to win a majority of EVs. Failing that, the House chooses the president, each state getting one vote. Only the GOP wins that.

yeah because the point was to terrorize the opposition, not to enforce law. gregory bovino is a domestic terrorist.

Isn't it ridiculous that in January Trump invaded Venezuela and kidnapped their leader, and he's done so much wild shit since then that it's hard to even retain that information?

I have a theory that Trump didn't mean to put Epstein in his Jesus healer AI slop post. I think the AI just associates Trump with Epstein because they're always in pictures together.

Impeach everyone who is accused in the Epstein files. (If they maintain their innocence, they can present their evidence to the Senate.)

I think this is the most likely explanation for what unfolded after the fact. #DonaldJChrist

This is probably an unpopular opinion but the thing about rumor mills is that they tend to be very light on specifics, and there's a lot of space on the 'oh yeah he's kind of a creep' spectrum well below 'rape'.

This is scary... A Florida doctor tried to persuade colleagues in the operating room that the liver he removed from a 70 yo patient was a spleen. The patient died on the operating table, and now the doctor's been charged with manslaughter... 15 years in prison if convicted.

A grandma who’s forced to work as a DoorDash driver to pay for her husband’s cancer treatment in the richest country on the planet… and the best we can do for her is not tax her tips?? That doesn’t deserve an applause. It’s a fucking disgrace.

seen on Facebook.

Also contains this epic paragraph:

I dipped my toes into Twitter a week or two ago and I’ve already received a 12 hour timeout for posting a comment I’ve seen here hundreds of times. Glad there is such free speech over there. 😏

Wait. Did they tell Trump to say the screenshots of his Truth Social post were "doctored," but he misunderstood and said it was a picture of him as a "doctor"?

Resident Evil Requiem insanity mode is a mode for sickos. It's for people who like playing games where you plan out and redo segments over and over trying to get a slightly better run each time. "Well, if I do this, then maybe I'll be able to save a bit of ammo here..." I'm one of those sickos.

Boot back into Windows for one day, and I'm immediately reminded why I left. Why would typing "steam" bring up "stream deck" when there is an app called "steam" on my PC?

Would be neat if voters held Congress members accountable for their oftentimes unexplainable Congressional votes rather than trust they’re doing right by the people because of their Political Party affiliation.

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

If there's a draft, draft the gun owners first.

An important thing I've gotten from this gross Sw*lwell situation is that we now know who was actually serious when they said it doesn't matter what the political party of sexual predators is, they have to go...and who was lying.

Ukraine becoming the world’s most effective military under Zelensky’s leadership — while the historically powerful US Armed Forces has its reputation decimated by Donald Trump — is exactly what this nation deserves for voters disrespecting it so much they twice gave Trump the White House.

It's pretty sad that 25% of society falls into this category. If someone believes that it is necessary to hide the rape of children to achieve whatevet objective they have, they are a broken human.

All members of congress recently blocked the release of representatives names who had to pay settlements to sexual assault victims (taxpayer money)There is a fund for this!! #releasetheguiltyrepresentativesnames

Heartwarming.

Awwww....thank you kitteh...! 🤩😻😽 #Caturday

I think there are plenty of theological-oriented reasons to find the Trump as Christ images offensive. But, I think there’s also a real secular concern about the judgment and stability of a man who earnestly compares himself to God.

Welcome to Bluesky. Here’s your copy of the Communist Manifesto and your season pass to the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, and Sixers for some reason.

They did. You just have to learn Braille.

Regarding Graham Platner: If he knew the tattoo was a Nazi symbol, he is a Nazi and he has no business being a Democratic Senator. If he didn't know the tattoo was a Nazi symbol, he is fucking stupid and has no business being a Democratic Senator.

A little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens is set to expire, and we’re worried some Democrats could join the GOP to reauthorize this civil liberties disaster. Urge your Members of Congress to vote NO on any legislation that reauthorizes Section 702.

And my chest is on the receiving end of this kick from LAPD officer Palmer.

here's the thing - the white trash in that pic have been buying guns like crazy since Obama became president (gosh I don't know why) but in the last year there's been a huge uptick in new gun ownership from people who *aren't* white cis het males maybe it's not the right time to make it harder?

Also, this goes without saying but it is not normal, no matter how drunk you are, to be conscious in a bar and then have the next thing you remember as being raped. The more we learn, the more it sounds like his victims were drugged.

You know shit is bad when financial reporters are like "Actually the stock market is full of irrational dipshits"

Day 273 of Natedogg's Daily Rules Tip: Q: My opponent just cast Arcane Omens targeting me, using four different colors of mana. If I cast Reverberate and copy the Omens, will my copy also make my opponent discard four cards? #mtg

Weird how ppl post here that we don't need the Epstein Files..just believe the victims. Do you actually know how courts work? Evidence.Testimony. Evidence to back up testimony? Jfc. STOP with just "believe them" bullshit!! It doesn't work that way!! Names. Crimes documented. Dates. Jfc..stop it!

In swedish news: "And many Hungarians went to the polls. By early evening, voter turnout had broken all records with 77.8 %" SEE!!! It works if people ACTUALLY shows up to vote! VOTE AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPEND ON IT BECAUSE IT DOES!

I need there to be a Bluesky feed for "Posts you missed that everyone is talking about that you can only infer from hundreds of people vague-posting"

Thus, today's election is not really the end of an authoritarian regime. Rather, it is the first step in a much longer unwinding process. It is massive and absolutely necessary first step — one that anyone who believes in democracy should celebrate. But it's more a beginning than an end.
