GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

HELLS YES

There’s never been a better time to quit your Starbucks addiction

Hey, Autism is not a disease. While not all Autistics have food aversion, it is found in a lot of Autistic and neurodivergent folk. If you want to stick it to the people sharing and celebrating the spreading of misinformation about Autism, share stuff made by Autistic folk. Like my book:

Picard strategy tip: When an egotistical, malevolent person tells you their dangerous intent, believe them.

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/

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

It's not just that I find Democrats prostrating themselves to be gross. It makes them unsafe. Why should I, a Black queer woman, maintain any faith that these jamokes give a single shit about my material circumstances as they eulogize this horrible man. It sucks.

This exchange says it all.

I'm about to make some people really mad. But here's the situation. A bunch of women, mostly Black women, whose activism work I am familiar with are telling everyone "do not sign up for the protest" in an effort at protecting the community.

Hey all! I'd like to thank the world's media institutions, and of course the Bluesky mods, for being totally normal and proportional about a barely famous trans woman cracking wise about a Nazi's death.

Happy Birthday, Mistress of the Dark. 74.

Surprise he's doing all the work THIS WEEK. So yeah this is a bit time crunchier than I thought. And a bit more expensive. He's giving me half off on some tree of heaven removal tho so there's that. Any help is appreciated!

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

"The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams at us the loudest." -Mon Mothma (Andor)

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means

I used to think that this was only true because no one knew how to actually debate and how to actually moderate a debate. Lots of people make that mistake. It does harm because it communicates to them and the world that their bullshit hatred might have merit.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

For the record, the portion of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg's Judgment of 1 October 1946 which pertains to NSDAP-affiliated journalist Julius Streicher is available here: avalon.law.yale.edu/imt/judstrei...

There's no spontaneity like forced spontaneity :( "Baristas have been warned that they will be “written up” if they don’t write a personalized message on every single cup, even during peak hours, they said." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/b...

I got this email a couple days ago from Primary Stages (I‘m somehow still subsrcibed to them even tho I haven‘t seen a play in NYC in a few years) and I haven‘t stopped thinking about it since. Art is a lifeline for many people. Artists gotta stand their ground now more than ever.

Just helped the teenager dye some hair and I smell like L’Oréal Féria 😂

Top surgery’s on October 1st, run me my check

hi, cis folks! the WSJ endangered trans lives with false reporting yesterday. it’s still accepted as truth by many, regardless of it being false. the article’s still up with a little note. it needs full retraction. it's not even a phone call—it's email. you can do this. contact info below.🧵⬇️

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

hey canadians a reminder that this is SUPER FUCKING EASY to sign (like three fields and a confirmation email), and it’s an OFFICIAL GOVT PETITION that they legally have to bring to the table if it hits a certain threshold. sign it or ELSE.

Breaking: DC Comics will never be getting another cent from me

does anybody want to reduce my barrier to entry for eating tonight from "get up and cook a meal from scratch" to "get up and meet the delivery driver?" that only feels like climbing one mountain instead of three. 💸 bit.ly/FDCshApp

petitions are not a silver bullet, but they ARE a powerful point of pressure. far right, puritanical interests got to where they are due to years, if not decades, of grassroots pressure. To fight it, we have to be prepared to do the same. Make your fight sustainable to prepare for a long haul.

Translation: Very Bad. Evergreen reminder that donations to the national org don’t go to clinics or the regional affiliates. If people want to support clinics to help them stay open, google your local and donate directly

I’m so fucking tired y’all. Go throw some money at Planned Parenthood if you have any to spare.

Gonna be at the car place for probably 2 more hours, AMA to distract the feral anxiety goblin

Today I: - woke up at 5 am - dropped off the little machine that I used for an in-home sleep apnea test - saw my surgeon for my final pre-op appointment 🙌🙌 - got lunch - am now waiting at the car dealership for about five thousand services (this is my first visit since hitting 60,000 miles 😅)

The BLM is seeking to eradicate the Public Lands Rule, which allows the conservation to be included in land use planning. There are a lot of areas of critical environmental concern in BLM land. It's in the federal register and the public commenting period has started. Please comment!

I think the people who write the fortunes in the cookies are leaning into the “in bed” thing now

Poor Mary, you will be missed 🫶

Saw a great bumper sticker today while I was in traffic - it was a cartoon Jesus facepalming with the caption “OMG guys, that’s not what I said”

Good morning. It’s incredibly disrespectful to the living when you mourn people who wished them harm.

I had some trouble sorting out my meds so I can travel and need some more supplies so I can keep experimenting. Thank you again to everybody who's been supporting us as we get closer to escaping this tent. 🙏⚒️💕💸🏳‍⚧♿💜

The good news part of this is I can save some money by just avoiding most movies altogether

I may be totally alone in this, but my gut is feeling a lot like it did about the so called assassination attempt on TACO. Kirk was killed by not just a sniper, a damned good one. This just doesn’t seem to be random or emotional at all. More like intentional narrative creation or distraction.

lol

were you curious? i was curious. i was also pretty unsurprised. anyways, if you're looking for something to do with unspent energy tonight, reps.fyi has contact info for all of these folks, if you want to let them know that you'll vote for anyone less bigoted who primaries their transphobic asses.

Charlie KIrk believed that empathy was a "new concept" that shouldn't exist, so anyone who expresses condolences for him is being VERY disrespectful to his beliefs right now. please keep him out of your thoughts as he begins his transition into worm food. thank you

oh man look at those SS runes on the poster, lmao, I guess you can't make cute lil dogwhistles like that anymore, you fuckin dead Nazi

Those lightning bolts in the second picture are a very interesting choice of graphic design element. That should tell you all you need to know about this turd's life.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.
