this is the thing. I DONT CARE if *some* students have managed to get accommodations by allegedly "gaming the system" or "doctor shopping" I DON'T CARE. Because my experience tells me how hard it is to be disabled in higher ed, as both a disabled student, and disabled faculty member now.

That's right... Harrison Ford

There is/was no ‘imminent danger’ to America. None. Also, Trump granted a 13 Mexican cartel members US residency. And pardoned a guy who helped facilitate 400 tons of cocaine entering America. So it IS NOT ABOUT drugs either. Go figure.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

This is the most corrupt, lawless administration in the history of the United States and there’s no close second.

The wealthy have succeeded in making the poor believe they're middle class and it makes class war easier for the wealthy and harder for the poor.

Re-watched this recently & realized River Phoenix is more Hank William-coded in this than Tom Hiddleston was in I Saw the Light. Also realized Peter Bogdanovich directed this!?! Certainly my 17-year-old self was oblivious to such things, but quadragenarian me was delighted to make the discovery!

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before

Raise a glass to Bill Watterson, wherever he is and whatever he’s doing. Not only did he give us the genius of Calvin and Hobbes, he has kept it evergreen by steadfastly refusing to monetize it.

i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.

New: cops used Flock AI-enabled cameras to monitor No Kings protests around the country. Also monitored No Hands protests and protests against DOGE. "Should serve as a warning of how it may be used in the future to suppress dissent." www.404media.co/cops-used-fl...

Please wear a mask when punching fascists so I can share the footage without identifying you 🫶🏽

Still think we’re not there yet?

Most people, even very smart people, truly do not understand the extent to which car dependency was manufactured in the United States, and how decisions made 100 years ago are why cities and towns look the way they do today.

Yeah, if you grow up in a food desert, or near a polluting company, or work for a company that doesn't let you take appropriate breaks, or get hit by someone else's car, shame on you for not taking care of your health.

She doesnt know much, but one thing MTG does know: the “mainstream media” and centrist democrats will jump through every available hoop to help her rehabilitate her image. Not only does she know this…she’s banking on it.

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

None of the films Rock Hudson made w/ director Douglas Sirk are streaming — not even as a VOD rental. But 4 of them are on TCM tonight starting at 8pm ET. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate his centenary. #FilmSky #TCMParty

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

The only thing that Marjorie Taylor Greene apologized for is taking part in "toxic politics." And all that means is that she's going to use a softer voice when trying to disenfranchise black people and strip us of our civil rights. www.cnn.com/2025/11/16/p...

The White House is objectively and demonstrably pro-sex trafficking

How do you land Vanity Fair west coast editor at age 32 after having affairs with two presidential candidates you were covering as a journalist. That is some prime white lady shit.

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

No justice, no peace is a fact, not a threat.

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.

Bluesky Safety: we have suspended Patton Oswalt for saying "pedophiles are bad." This is against are terms of service

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:

Sad to hear about the fire at the DoJ filing room that happened next weekend.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

"You have at times seemed to question the very concept of a career. You told senior Barry Platowski, 'We are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you different.'"

Wild how every single member of the political and business elite went into full drooling fascism the second the prospect of consequences for abhorrent behavior started to seem possible

The president is a massive pedo who was best friends with a massive pedo who ran a big pedo ring, we are at late-stage Michael Jackson levels of "everybody knows"

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One"

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

Saying “reading books in public is performative” is a very quick and simple way to communicate to me that you are a stupid little pig I do not need to listen to and in that sense I appreciate it

"COULD you die if you get on an airplane due to the horrifically negligent way that the current administration has run the government? Yes. WILL you die? Very likely. Can it be prevented? Unfortunately, no. Other than that, we urge people not to worry about air travel."

The best way to show that MAGA is not part of some dark authoritarian movement is to remove professors who suggest that it is

OVER A MILLION USERS DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT EVERY *WEEK* what the fuck are we DOING here

congrats to everyone for thinking this through before signing very big contracts to put it on every student’s device at the school or university you run

Rare is the perfect photograph, a photograph that is both literal and metaphor, a photograph that fills the void where a person should be.

you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

The timeline right now. Find the country trying to run itself into the ground

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

First and foremost a cinephile victory
