senseless, daily terrorism. what purpose could it serve other than make Ukraine fight harder against the monsters that do this?

to celebrate our nation's birthday we're going to mass poison the capital city

1/ I'm starting the holiday weekend off with some good vibes. I’m not giving bad news any headspace right now, so let's pause and celebrate some public health wins that have happened recently!

it is good that kitty puked on my phone, because, otherwise, how would the case have gotten such a thorough cleaning?

and 5 years is Starlink's number. From research I've seen it's actually going to be more like every 3-4.

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

"Do you support free public college?" "No I support ruining the lives of a handful of children ritualistically for political gain."

I guess the FBI don't care about kidnappings anymore, ending a tradition that began with the Lindbergh baby.

The schism is not medieval. These chucklefucks aren't interesting enough for a real antipope. You don't need a historian of the Avignon Papacy or the 11th century for this, you need someone studying Vatican II and the archconservatives who refute it.

(If you're going to write about this as a medievalist, don't focus on the antipopes, focus on medieval pogroms. That's the common thread. SSPX are anti-Vatican II antisemites founded by a French archbishop of the worst Maurras type)

"If buying isn't owning, pirating isn't stealing."

I may be a hanafi and shrimp being makruh makes sense, but I consume it like it's halal.

surely, it's not kosher, some say, it's just makruh, but Kat's a determined nosher, shrimp's like honey for winnie pooh

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

Adolescent trans girls deserve to fucking *belong*.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

Cat tax has been paid.

wonder if Albania's newest citizen, Eric Adams, might be getting a little nervous if the corruption of his unexpected hosts comes under scrutiny?

obviously, entirely plausible they'd burn through a lot of amo in a short time with a questionable result, but there's some other number that feels a little off....

these tariffs have always been backwards protectionism, but glad the US consumer could help pay for giving china a good technological boost, i guess

don't fall for this trap! sounds nice, but these people are part of the plot to bring back Middle English pronunciation, and I'm not having it. "Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote the droghte of March hath perced to the roote?" over my dead body.

6 years ago today Fox News helpfully distilled some of the demands of the Movement for Black Lives... Curious that they could figure out the demands but that white dude bros on the so called Left say that it's unclear... LOL

good in context, better out of context

🤔 would converting if it meant never having to deal with health insurers

Also the AI beluga thing is particularly galling because it comes at a time where there's been a spike in online disinformation about many of our local zoos and wildlife centers, which seems to have started when ADF&G seized a bunch of animals from a sketchy guy in Haines last year & placed them...

There’s a way to hide all these altgov accounts. bsky.app/profile/skyw...

Fifth most liked post on Bluesky yesterday. No escaping the fucking AI liars.

My official linguist view is that most of what so-called "native speakers" feel compelled to "correct" in others has nothing to do with how the language works, or clarity, and everything to do with markers of whether someone belongs to a particular community. For English, this means white supremacy.

we need more education about how the long-term punishment of Haitians is crucial to the white supremacist project a proof-point for them about why you should never rise up, how you can never be free

His stern eyebrows? A pose. His reaction to lust? 'I must!'

And make no mistake, when the Klan was ranting about unassimilable immigrants in the 1920s, they were very much talking about Italians whom they attacked as Catholic pawns of the pope, as a "criminal race" whose members were all tied to the mafia, and as a non-white threat to white women.

can't see cables between the streetlight poles, looks like buried electrical (nice), but check out the long boom that puts the light element directly over center of street, away from house windows someone wanted nice things for their city

wasps before the p, before they knew they were w, and actually more norman than a

don't know how much clearer you can be about freedom of conscience in this country when you sentence someone to 100 years in prison for "ideology"

do you guys understand how cool this is? do you have even an inkling of how massive a quality of life improvement this can provide?

these people made a butt hole their icon and why aren't we treating that as a serious warning?

I had to wait 25 minutes on hold as a #prescriber calling in urgent #medications and there is one overworked and frazzled #pharmacist serving 100 people. If not obvious, US #healthcare system is in imminent collapse. Basically like the Surfside condo a few years ago. With same result (mass death)

getting rid of the hyundai and hitching up two horses to stay safe

yes, churchill was the archetypal tory scum fasinating thread:

that, and the ever increasing daily terror trans people have to live with

if there's one thing both political parties in america can agree on, it's an absolutely atrocious policy towards our neighbors we should be aware of the consequences. 🧵:

i need to reemphasize that i saw them let a guy go yesterday with a bag of weapons

think different, wendy's dude

a worthy tomb for a mighty warlord. he will be buried with his best drones

live your life to be Zohran happy

yeah, that's about the response i get

USA social security will really send you a letter 8 mos after your mum dies saying “she died halfway thru the month and you didn’t notify us before she died so you need to pay 2k back within two weeks” and then send you to an online portal that doesn’t accept non USA addresses

people have scoffed at the idea that some books improve in translation, but it's true
