Who could have seen this coming, besides anyone who has paid attention.

This gutting of the the VRA has broken me. It just seems so hateful, so disrespectful of the rule of law, and so consequential.

More accurate to say continues to use union busting firm, in this case regarding an attempt to unionize?

D&D and mtg are bad for all of us.

Can't wait for the consecutive wapo editorial board editorials saying that the red gerrymandering is fine but the blue is a threat to democracy.

The practical result of adding the sum rev from yesterday to today's decision in Callais seems to be that use of race in partisan gerrymandering is permitted (because hard to prove it was race, not politics) *unless* the state is doing it to remedy a VRA violation. This is Bizarro 14th Amendment.

A well-reported update on the 15 South American people ICE sent to DR Congo two weeks ago. Trapped in a rat-infested hotel by the airport with no options but going back to the countries they fled. This is what we're doing to legal asylum-seekers who "followed the rules." www.npr.org/2026/04/28/n...

Georgetown University School of law ladies and gentlemen.

Let me get this straight: Bari Weiss has radically edited the new Trump interview on 60 Minutes? Let's not forget that Weiss lost her mind over standard editing of a Kamala Harris interview in 2024. But as Juliet shows, this Trump editing goes way beyond standard broadcast practices. Good grief.

Ew Moleskine used genAI for their Lord of the Ring collection by mentioning they used it, then entirely removing the claim after some backlash. Incredibly shitty of them for a brand that claims human creativity. cjleo.com/blog/moleski...

Playing product ai whackamole is so exhausting.

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

If you hear someone say low IQ person, just know they are dying to use a racial slur.

I can tell what's going on in the world effects what RPGs I wanna run. Country's awful? Spire, grey ranks, and no gods county Artemis launch? Cosmic dark and solar crawl Catholic Church fighting Trump? Sisterhood

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed. We must get rid of Palantir altogether. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

Pretty damn serious win. Transgender Rights Are Human RIGHTS!!! www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

The fact is USA had 4X the World Covid mortality (3640 PPM vs 899 PPM) due to DJT’s pathetic response & then the GOP’s vaccine avoidance strategy in 2021, which caused 200-250K needless USA deaths in red states & counties. These are facts the U.S. GOP media wants us to ignore.

I didn't lose trust in institutions so much as it was the last gasp of me every trusting my neighbors or fellow Americans.

That's some premium grade boot lickin right there

This feels like a great analogy to use in a lot of fields.

If you hadn't noticed, Bluesky had a bit of an oopsy-poopsy today what with the vibe coding, etc. We're reupping this ORIGINAL REPORTED STORY on the failures at a trans homeless shelter in NYC now that things seem to be working better.

Asking the forbidden question

A child. They shot him in the head while he was running for his life. He couldn't run fast enough.

The Texas Rangers have unveiled a controversial new statue modeled after Jay Banks, a former Texas law enforcement officer known for enforcing school segregation. The unveiling preceded the MLB’s celebration of Jackie Robinson Day, which commemorates the first African American MLB player.

I think this is the most likely explanation for what unfolded after the fact. #DonaldJChrist

This makes me want to (redacted)

it is a little odd how conservatives are just casually discussing if the president of the united states is the antichrist

Fun moment from last night's Orioles game- check out the ERA

The second part is insane but I wanna focus on "it wasn't a depiction". I swear he's the dumbest mother fucker on earth. What could that possibly mean.

At first I thought this was the post and that Bezos had made them write it.

Using the r-word is just bad. Democrats should have higher standards for themselves than Trump when it comes to using a slur that MANY disabled people find offensive. Looking at you, Graham Platner. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I got to catch up with my friend @farirpgs.com to talk about their newest game, Breathless: Frightmare Edition. How do you take a game built for one-shot, high action play and transform it into campaign-ready horror? Listen on your favorite pod platform or here: open.spotify.com/episode/7bXX...

My. It's almost like making predatory lending for student loans, while flatlining government grants, loans, and subsidies results in fiduciary looting in the name of efficiency. When Reagan became governor of California, the UC system had free in-state tuition. So did the SUNY system.

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

It is with great sadness that the WIZARDS team must announce the passing of our dear friend and co-host, @williambwest.bsky.social this weekend. Will was a loving father, husband and devoted son, with many friends and fans who mourn along with his loved ones. He will never be forgotten.

political and media establishment for the last 40 years: we need to teach children the liberal values of acceptance, tolerance, and standing up to bullies. everyone raised in the last 40 years: we shouldn't genocide the exact same political and media establishment: WOKE HAS GONE TOO FAR

Lol no such thing as a rule of law

Schools are like "hey lock up your cell phones they're too damaging to the learning process. now please open up your lying plagiarism machine and start generating content"

the thing about putting dumb horny straight white guys in charge of everything - a state that Hegseth et al are furiously attempting to return to - is that they are the easiest people on Planet Earth to manipulate by means of blindingly obvious ruses

Once again, the national average pay for adjunct professors with PhDs is a flat fee of $3900 per course.

OpenAI wants to be off the hook if its frontier AI models go rogue and cause 100+ deaths or more than $1 billion in financial damages. from @mzeff.bsky.social

Me- I can't get any more rpg Kickstarters, the tbr pile is too big. RP- uh huh sure. Stoneburner was incredible and Im sure this will be too.

When they tell you they are racist, believe them

I made a giant list of non-AI resources to use for your TTRPGs and other creative pursuits with massive amounts of art that's either in the Public Domain or Creative Commons! Comment your suggestions! #TTRPG #TTRPGcommunity #dnd #pathfinder #daggerheart docs.google.com/document/d/1...

In the words of Sidney Dean, "It's hard work. It's hard god damn work . . . " making sure my outrage for Trump fascist moves that I already know about does not prevent me from generating outrage for *NEW* Trump fascist moves that I learn about today. Trump's gutting the National Forest Service.

What a very human analogy all of us humans have the ability to understand that certainly isn't weird and off-putting.

Cops have shot photojournalists in the eye many times over many years across the country. This too is fascism.
