Following @michaelhobbes.bsky.social here will basically give you a PhD in the media bullshit industrial complex

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.

These articles always depend on a bizarre Schroedinger's Seattle: The city is falling apart due to progressive overreach but we should have re-elected the conservative non-socialist who has been in charge for the last four years.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

Confused about whether to read TO SHAPE A DRAGON'S BREATH by Moniquill Blackgoose or BREATH OF THE DRAGON by Shannon Lee & @fondalee.bsky.social ? Good news! You can just read both because they're effing fantastic!

If you voted in Seattle, check to make sure your vote was counted! If not, you may have a chance to cure your ballot: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

If only Gorsuch had that realization roughly about the time he thought presidents should have immunity from everything. #SheShed

“No hell is hot enough or eternal enough for Dick Cheney.” 🤌🤌🤌

It saddens me that some of my colleagues decided to let their work be fed into the Content Regurgitation Machine. GenAI is neither inevitable nor unstoppable. You have more power than you think. GenAI cannot exist without us, without human creativity and labor. We can starve it.

New awareness campaign

It's rich that Klein of all people would weigh in on this. He's the quintessential lib pundit who 1) talks to no one on the ground, 2) has no relevant expertise at all, and yet 3) is confident in the path forward. It's the pundits and consultants who have strangled the party to death!

A Scanner Darkly is on Tubi

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

tfw you go from "yay, hit another wordcount milestone" to "wait, this is getting very long"

Bloody hell, this one hurts. What a legend, I was just looking at his movie poster book the other day.

I took a notion to draw a wee comic last night, based on my real-life experience where I felt bad for some sticks.

The Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition is connected to a network of rapid response organizations across the state who have trained people on how to verify the veracity of reported ICE activity, support people who are being detained, connect with legal support, and provide legal observation.

It being Christmastime, it's time to share on Bluesky the family Christmas tale of how on one Christmas night, three ghosts worked to get someone to change the errors of his ways. Except not "ghosts" but "Marescas", and less "worked" and more "attempted to murder" the guy across the street.

Publishers should be invested in promoting the books they publish.

the Pillars of the Earth is both a great book and a shining example of every single misogynist cliche that you could ever put into a book, ever

sure am glad I have to feed every single assignment prompt into AI and then "humanize" just to demonstrate to students I know where they are getting this creepily perfect and lifeless writing

there’s a person on the corner in an inflatable unicorn costume dancing and holding a sign that says WELCOME TO HELL

me: "And he finally leans in and she's able to get out the heavy pin, the bolt set into the bone" voice-to-text: "And he finally means in and she's been using her panties. Happy V an Android phone"

@npr.org your own article says this is a shit headline. Grow a spine or at least some journalistic integrity. You're failing to meet the moment.

America 2025. Please Don’t Offend The White Supremacists

"sorry, we gotta go right wing on the border, and not stand up for trans people, and also support israel to the hilt, or they might not vote for us" huh! interesting. does this calculus on getting votes apply to us who want different? "no. fuck you. you just support us forever without complaint."

Jon Lasser was a sweet and thoughtful guy who added much to the world. Memory eternal.

GOP lawmakers cite Georgia’s experiment as a model for the federal Medicaid work requirements set to take effect in 2027. A new report by a government spending watchdog found that the nation’s only Medicaid work requirement program spent twice as much on administrative costs as on health care.

this is actually an important lesson even if you dgaf about kimmel. take the win!

(preparing to break my fingers with a hammer so i don't post 'mammorial')

a really worthwhile read! I am fascinated by this kind of stuff, being slightly too old to have come up on A03 and shipping culture, but still having done my share of "filing off the serial numbers."

We hear a lot about boys getting radicalized online, and not enough about how to stop it. This is good video with 5 specific things parents/adults can do:

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

And it's Ben&Unilever ice cream. This feels particularly personal. Fucking corporations must go down.

Redford advocated for Native Americans and Native-led projects in Hollywood & made a high-profile documentary about Peltier. He used his platform to lift others up. Respect. Memory eternal

this feels like an incredibly stupid episode of breaking bad, like badger and skinny pete are asked to take care of an animal shelter walt's laundering money through or something
