Independent journalism is developing so quickly that Kabas is now Minority Reporting the news

hey @bhphoto.com , what's with the popup from Bread every time I look at my cart? And each time I answer the captcha, it just pops up again? Same on Edge and Chrome on Win 11. I have $300 of stuff in my cart but I'm not allowed to see my cart, never mind check out? arghh

Happy Earth Day!

Starting to think that "the Pope is infallible" is the "Assault Rifle 15" of left-leaning ex-Catholics

@harmanphoto.co.uk are you folks still making direct positive paper, or is it gone? desperately trying to find some for a project I committed to :-/

Look, I just hope that if SCOTUS strikes down birthright citizenship, they are intellectually consistent enough to require that we take down the Statue of Liberty and send it back to France.

when someone calls themselves a "creator" its fuckin sad. have some respect for yourself! say you make videos or art or write or whatever! "creator" means "i produce chum for platforms in the way they require for better engagement" it means you "chase the meta" and this makes you Not Artistic !!!

@proton.me hey proton, FYI: On the "how to create or edit CSV files" page, there is a link to download a sample CSV file, but that file is 404. proton.me/support/crea...

"Let's get dressed up and go to the bookshop" totally needs to be a thing.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

TRANS KANSANS: I'm moving this weekend (just two blocks, but still involves packing & carrying literally tons of books) & my apartment will be available to rent immediately. Small town in Western Mass, trans-friendly & with a strong arts scene. We'd be happy to have you. DM for more. 💜 Please share!

You may not like it, but this is the ideal computer. Using a computer with many blinkenlights and no screen makes you nearly invulnerable to the horrors of disinformation and social media. It's time to go back

The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.

The constant condescension about ai is another aspect of it that makes me hate it more. The assumption is you can only be against it because you don't understand it like I do. No man. I don't like voluntarily making every human enterprise dependent on a tech run by a tiny group of financial maniacs

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

fellow engineers, you really need to start asking yourself some questions when building something: 1. how will the police use what i'm making? 2. what kinds of people are the police going to use it against? 3. how many people will be harmed in silence before we find out?

Unidos somos América.

"Content extruder" is the perfect term for people who use the slop plagiarism machine to make "art".

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

In all sincerity, if they get this through and agree to fund DHS, I will never vote for a Democrat again. I am floored by the spinelessness, and I've been had too many times. It's just embarrassing that it took me this long to figure that out.

I know he's busy with the new job, but I can think of one guy who might be able to convince Trump that his natural charisma and likeability are being undermined by the actions of a certain evil thumb-shaped vizier

this is it. this is the level. this is the standard for democratic officials. anything less is intolerable.

I know it’s not healthy to be so angry all the time but also “stay angry, little Meg” runs through my brain like a lifeline these days

We will all be judged by what we did at this moment.

Very cool—thanks for the update! Today I got gassed by the federal government two times within a few blocks of my house

Please be aware that contrary to their fundraising ads, @forwardblue.bsky.social has no relationship with the No Kings mobilizations, no record of doing anything in support, no inside information, and is ignoring requests to cease advertising that suggests they are involved.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

The Trump regime is literally allowing this stuff to be sprayed on our food.

"Next time you render your free AI-image in a couple of seconds, will you think of all the work, knowledge and skill that we HUMANS created over hundreds of years that made it possible?" A medical illustrator had her work stolen by a famous surgeon dudebro -> www.linkedin.com/posts/amanda...

Local water district is trying and failing to cope with the fact that sewage sludge is increasingly contaminated with PFAS and there's simply no cost effective way to deal with it. I'm sure spraying unbreakdownable chemicals on crops is fine, though.

Larry Summers wrote a memo claiming that Africa was "underpolluted", and we're supposed to be surprised that he's also a sex pest scumbag? He should've been ostracized by the left three decades ago.

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

There are so many reasons to vote for Mamdani, and many more reasons why one should not vote for Cuomo. A huge, not insignificant one, is rewarding @lindseyboylan.bsky.social for the nonstop work she has done to make sure sexually abusive old men don’t get to lord over all of us anymore.

happy "the car clock is finally correct" day to all who celebrate

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

hey Mr Onion @bencollins.bsky.social how can I carry the Onion in my bookstore in Western Mass? FWIW I used to read it on paper in the early 90s and so glad you've brought it back!

sure would be nice to have private accounts right now

@postoctobrist.bsky.social just got this ad served to me on insta and I think they meant it for you sputnik1957s.com

Today is yet another sad day for America. Our political landscape filled with hate instead of love and humanity and it must change. It cannot go on like this, it is unsustainable. 1/3

Always has been.

Centrist Mamdani was Obama.

you could not pay me money to read any amount of words on “blueskyism” if you are tempted to write a screed about social media website you don’t read then go outside

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Framing human rights in terms of "the average" explicitly means discarding those seen as "less than average", including the sick. That's just eugenics. It's exactly how eugenics operates. It's an explicitly eugenicist position. These people should be shunned

As a professional public health scientist I can't believe I have to remind "journalists" that the whole fucking point of public health is not to protect the *average* but to protect the *vulnerable*. Protecting the vulnerable protects everyone. The framing here is murderous, apologetic, eugenicist

I just can’t find the humor in the false fear generated by Republicans in DC because it’s not sincere and it’s not really funny, it’s their way of saying that Black people don’t belong in society, that Black people are inherently unsafe, and that it’s worth using violence to segregate us.
