Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

thank you to my sister for sending me this @joshgondelman.bsky.social piece which rocks www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/at-...

wearing a John Deere cap until they put my opinion in the newspaper

A very good afternoon to the absolute hero who organised and parked this beauty in the middle of little Tommy’s far-right hate march. ❤️

Crazy how this is reported as if he hasn't been selling pardons. And even if that's not the case, attaching a goal number to something that's supposed to be deliberative is reality show insanity.

Killing the world’s richest man by rapidly spiking his cortisol with cooler and cooler film casting choices

Stop calling the leisured provincial gentry "working class"

I will battle every member of the city council and all of the "socialists" in LA until they stop sweeping homeless folks and instead house them.

TPUSA was promoting an anti-trans event on Juniper's campus when she was stabbed to death Sunday. I'm pretty well-informed + I only heard about this today on the "It Could Happen Here" podcast. Violence against trans and nonbinary people has skyrocketed in recent years. Media coverage is dismal.

One cool thing about heat pumps: The heat they provide is at least ~2/3 renewable, regardless of the electricity source. (Note the circular flow between the indoors and outdoors.) If the power source is renewable, then the system operation is 100% renewable, although manufacturing generally is not.

At least $1.1 million. That’s how much judges in Louisiana oil cases have made from oil-linked investments. Yes, you read that right: while profiting from oil firms, they were also hearing cases involving those same companies.

hell yeah pop science news is also celebrating the opening of the D line extension

Do not skip out on jury duty. We keep us safe and this is one way we can do that.

Never felt salty about a tax I paid that went on to improve the material conditions of needy people who are not me Plenty pissed about taxes that go to cops, to sports arenas, that are extracted from the underserved to provide green space to rich enclaves, that go to war, pay for data centers etc

bari weiss is to journalism what elon musk is to building profitable businesses

health department shut down Jitlada and now this i’m fighting for my life here dawg

Hey what a coincidence I hate them both also!

it is so funny to get your mom to give you millions to run against LA's only popular elected official (kenneth mejia)

🏢We ranked the TOP 100 PROBLEM RENTAL PROPERTIES in the City of LA Top 3 addresses with the most housing violation cases: 🥇636½ N Hill 🥈11700 W Wilshire 🥉6650 W Forest Lawn Look up violations for any residential address, Dec 2013 - Nov 2025: prp.lacontroller.app

This is awful. Jesus. These funds have saved people from getting evicted, fired, and losing custody of their kids. (Also, just to be clear, it doesn’t criminalize the funds’ existence, but it makes them subject to federal insurance regulations, which will effectively kill many of them.)

Do we have a count on how many members of Congress are missing?

someone told me today that they mentally associate me with Illinois and what a compliment thank you!!!!! (genuine)

An entire generation of feminists were thrown in jail for distributing pamphlets on birth control, which violated Comstock, incl. Emma Goldman, who was eventually deported from the US (not the only reason, but one of them) Birth control, abortion access—all a right we with uteruses are entitled to

It can’t be said enough how infuriating it is that Comstock continues to haunt us from the 1870s

every election is like “ok your options are someone who is making out with a cop or someone who is pointing a gun at you” and I wish it were not so!!!!

No supplemental income. They call this class war for a reason. There will be casualties — unless we come together and help each other. Unless we stand the fuck up and do what we gotta do on our ten toes.

This goes to what I was saying in my prior post. While this country (speaking for this country because it's where I live,) does everything they can to make the rich, richer, they are attempting to kill the poor. WoC are the main targets because of anti-DEI policies, being fired, and having…

The CFO of Spindrift is complaining on LinkedIn about Anthropic's customer service. He recommends OpenAI because it allows you to "work with a human sales person." Unfortunately there's simply no broader lesson that a c-suite officer of a successful CPG brand might extrapolate from this preference.

it is my personal belief that seth simons deserves a pulitzer www.humorism.xyz/a-brief-hist...

reading all the Hitchhiker’s Guide books and really enjoying them!

it’s time to cancel the Olympics there will never be a fair wage with the Olympics

The darkly hilarious thing that Republicans will never understand is that the people *covering* the right have been dealing with this for years. I had an 30-plus minute conversation with neo-Nazis about my Jewish heritage (quarter, patrilineal) at CPAC in 2024. We told you, dude!

If Anna Camp's agent isn't on this they just don't want her winning awards

People will be like ‘Bluesky is all academics & historians’ & I’ll be like, ‘You mean the people who enthusiastically tell me the coolest shit I ever heard?????’

today in terrifying push notifications

one of things I hate most about AI is how people treat it as a neutral actor when it is anything but

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

marc andreessen has such a large head and I bet he’s not as good as george w. bush at dodging shoes

That was the goal

doing the "walkout" with Morgan Wallen is a great double whammy, proving that you are both a racist and have the most dogshit taste in music imaginable

my least favorite AI booster line is when they bring up the washing machine. washing machines did reduce women’s time spent washing clothes, but the overall leisure time of Americans has not really been reduced due to an increase in domestic appliances.

I like how goofy some of these problems are, a normal car recall will be for some bit of mechanism that can become jammed but this car is like “don’t get it wet”

one of my biggest frustrations—and I can’t be the only one—is that I am a moron and, yet, everyone richer is dumber. every five years, I have to live through a cycle of everyone with power and money investing in something that is an obvious scam and then we all just wait for it to collapse.
