Someone needs to stop me from buying any more cardigans.

This addresses one of the big problems of the American news environment: 90% of the time someone says, "Democrats should do X", Democrats already did! The news just didn't tell anyone about it!

A new study, based on a survey of 1,150 workers suggests that the injection of AI tools into the workplace has not resulted in a magic productivity boom and instead increased the amount of time that workers say they spend fixing low-quality AI-generated “work.” 🔗 www.404media.co/ai-workslop-...

calling autism a “tragedy” and saying that there should be fewer autistic people are eugenicist talking points. Everyone who opposes such views also needs to recognize the ways in which everyday ableism left the door wide open for a person like RFK Jr.

I hope I'm never famous enough for him to want to talk to me.

not getting much attention, but it's a big election in 6 weeks: Mainers will decide a conservative proposal that'd add restrictions to voting, especially mail voting. (If it's approved, it'd be in place by the 2026 midterms and the high-stakes Senate race.) boltsmag.org/maine-questi...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

This is why I keep talking about wanting to hear about Dem Senators shunning their colleagues (and I don’t!). Republicans should be ashamed and they should pay a social price for this among their peers. But you KNOW Schumer thinks they’re all really good people who golly gee just *can’t*

Really appreciated this from @moiradonegan.bsky.social

He's apparently also said any school that doesn't start a chapter will get investigated! FFS.

I guarantee you that we do!

Their feelings are very delicate

the New York Times repeatedly - three times by my count! - repeating that Harvard was about to settle with Trump for a record amount is probably the most straightforwardly easy to document example of this tendency to report Trumpworld wishcasting. Don't print lies in the newspaper!

This historical record will show that China didn't take global leadership status, America gave it away.

I'm not the first to notice the reinvention of @wired.com from mouthpiece of tech ideology to showing everyone else how to do journalism today, but this cover is something else. The inclusion of their own hagiographic covers in the back is a nod to that shift, which is beautiful. Also…

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

I do think it’s conspicuous that no real public conversation has emerged over the reality that the rise of AI means that women and girls no longer have a choice about whether their image is made into porn; that this is now a cost of entry for their participation in public life.

One of the most common use cases of generative AI is to create pornographic images of imaginary people and unwilling real people, and in both instances that includes children.

full disclosure, I ain’t validating this with a click, but the headline is bullshit. you come back and you punch the bully square in the fucking mouth

I really do think we need to see the rape and abuse of women and children as not like a peculiar indulgence or hypocrisy of the right, but as a foundational practice from which their worldview proceeds. Rape is the metaphor from which they draw their other conclusions about domination and hierarchy.

Nexstar, the largest TV broadcaster, needs Donald Trump's approval for a $6 billion deal. If approved, Nexstar would control TV stations reaching 80% of households — violating the cap set by Congress to protect against monopolies. This censorship of Kimmel reeks of corruption.

Rural hospitals, no. Argentina, yes.

A LOT of these guys joined ICE, etc., specifically to beat the shit out of immigrants and protesters. And statistics tell us anyone willing to behave this way in front of witnesses and news cameras has probably beaten domestic partners too.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

“DEI” for these people just means integration and the enforcement of civil rights laws www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/r...

The Supreme Court could say the president’s allegedly illegal actions must be put on hold while the Court reviews it. Instead, they repeatedly say Trump’s abuses must be allowed to go forward while in dispute. That’s entirely a choice. There’s no basis in law. Made the opposite call with Biden.

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

It's impossible to overstate how problematic it is for the White House to demand payouts or company stakes in the course of approving deals, hand-selecting acquirers, demanding corporate compliance or anything else.

if you’re in line to get raptured, STAY IN LINE

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

joining the war on autism on the side of autism

Ah, I see, shadow docket *plus* rocket docket for whatever Trump needs. Reminder that the emoluments clause case filed by Maryland & DC started June 12, 2017 and then was stalled for so long that SCOTUS dismissed it in January 2021 without a decision because Trump losing made it moot.

i couldn’t think of anything more eloquent www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-death-...

To June Jordan, Toni Morrison said, “You know there's always been a fascist strain, here: It's not even political in the sense of this party or that. It's like a virus that can attach itself to Democrats or Republicans… And we know it's around. We can tell because black people are the nexus.”

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

We didn't get diagnosed! They're still under diagnosing girls! that doesn't mean we aren't on the spectrum FFS.

I’m glad Jimmy’s back. But Brendan Carr still needs to resign. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

We’ve really got to move past the “if the President says it we have to amplify it”-style of journalism. This is particularly true of the wildly unhinged conspiracies spewed by the least intellectually curious President of the modern era.

Women of America: a series of leathery, uncannily colored old men who look like they’re being propped up with a series of wires and two by fours are here to tell you how to be healthier

if you have a Christian family you’ve been wanting to wordlessly abandon tomorrow would be a great day to do it

LOL.

One reason I do not think Trump is going to create a 1,000 year reich is because he failed to cancel a middling funnyman and immediately pivoted to trying to outlaw not having a headache.

Steve Silberman is not here to shout it — so it’s up to all of us. Vaccines don’t cause autism. Neither does Tylenol. (I mean seriously WTF?!?!) The “epidemic” of autism is the result of increased testing, broader definitions, and raised awareness. LOUDER.
