Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

The chieftain turned to one of his warriors. "Say, what is the best pronoun?" "She, powerful like the sea." "That is good." The chieftain turned to another warrior. "What say you?" "He, soft like a breath." "That is good. Conan! What is the best pronoun?" Conan thought. "Whichever I choose."

It's difficult to wrap one's head around the level of megalomania, delusions of grandeur, and zero-empathy encompassed in this response – and yet we see Trump display it multiple times per day.

I love this postcard series. I have one framed on my wall.

what this shows is that it has always been within the power of congressional republicans to say no to this man, and they must be held accountable for all the times they did not

I run an EXTREMELY niche jewelry shop. Have for ten years. Our artists are all LGBTQIA+. Our staff, LGBTQIA+. Our customers are either queer, queer adjacent via family or friends, or allies. Something I can tell you? QUEERNESS SHIPS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. YOU DON'T LEAVE RED STATE PEOPLE BEHIND.

It’s probably worth noting that Martin Sellner is an actual, no bullshit German neo Nazi. Like I mean a swastika wearing, banned from numerous countries neo Nazi.

“The policy “appears to be driven by the bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group: persons who identify as transgender,” Judge Robert Wilkins wrote for the majority.” apnews.com/article/tran...

Not for nothing but freedom of navigation has been a core US foreign policy objective for 200+ years and preserving the Arabian Gulf from domination has been one for just a hair under 50. When I say things like “calamity” or “inexcusable defeat”, I am not being partisan or exaggerating.

Trump really has remade the whole conservative movement in his image. Weiss is just like him, a petulant power mad imbecile who can do literally nothing right and gets incandescent with rage anytime she is questioned, but also too much of a chickenshit to fire people to their face

this happened like *three hours ago*, holy shit. somebody was recording audio!

No troops doesn’t mean no airstrikes, which is a loophole I’d expect Bibi to exploit regardless of what he told Trump. We’ll see.

Hegseth Strikes Female and Black Navy Officers From Promotion List. The net result: a slate of 22 new one-star admiral nominees that bears little resemblance to the broader force these officers will help lead. Of special note: The list has no women. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

New: Hackers have been stealing high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI support chatbot to change the email associated with the account they want to steal. Shockingly easy, terrible flaw associated with offloading support to AI: www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

We aren’t talking about this enough. Trump’s lawsuit against his own IRS, the one that he settled to create the $1.776 billion dollar January 6 slush fund, was over the leak of his tax returns. But they were leaked when he was in charge of the IRS.

Happy Pride month you buncha queers

We are stronger together. Once again, it is Pride Month. We at the SCP Foundation like to take this month to acknowledge the myriad queer authors who make our site what it is. Welcome back to Pridefest. scp-wiki.wikidot.com/pridefest-2026

congrats to jared polis once again

You can think of this as a "reverse" or "turn" strategy. Reversing attention from the distraction & recentering attention on what is essential. Calling out the politics of creating hate-objects & turning attention back to those who profit from the strategy. It's a contrast. Well played. (from March)

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

Axios will be reporting a deal is close by tomorrow morning

I'm not sure why, but I feel like @susanarendt.bsky.social would get a kick out of this game... www.youtube.com/watch?v=6URN...

Starting tomorrow 🙂‍↕️ 🏃🏿🏳️‍🌈

I love libraries. I read so much from the library when I was a kid and now that I can I buy books myself. But even if you can never buy your own copy, it makes me happy when someone takes a book of mine out of the library.

To my beloved el jibbities, we are more beautiful, more needed and more resilient than they can comprehend. We will not just survive this time, we will deliver justice and we will thrive

This is the position of all mainstream Christian churches.

Platner defenders are the most bizarre people. "ARE YOU SAYING YOU'D VOTE FOR SUSAN COLLINS??" No, I'm saying I don't live in Maine and it was probably a mistake to nominate a guy who's going to have photos of himself sticking his dick in a dead dog's mouth leaked by next Thursday

there are a ton of new people out there fighting this administration and it's important that everyone remember this: you not only have the right to remain silent, it's kind of essential

"He's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he's gone" is a very good line of attack against Trump.

if you are "using AI for writing," you are not writing. i do not know how to make this any simpler

If the response from Democrats to family members and neighbors being thrown into concentration camps is to mobilize the police to attack people trying to stop these atrocities - then they are on the side of the concentration camps. www.inquirer.com/opinion/miki...

On this: I’m a tall Brown woman with a strong jawline. A whole white woman accused me of being a man in a public toilet the other day. I didn’t correct her because my being trans or cis was not the point. The point was she felt entirely comfortable and confident doing that to someone in a TOILET.

In Sikh culture, when the racists started attacking us because they thought we were Muslims, we didn’t correct them and say we were Sikhs because the point is it shouldn’t happen to anyone. As a cis woman, I do not correct someone attacking me because they think I am trans for the same reason.

was firing dejoy a top priority for biden? no. but its indicative of democrats simply not using their power, once elected, to do the shit that people asked them to. the party is too secure in its whole "whoops guess we cant do things" approach, and the people who reflexively defend them enable it.

Don’t pick up tear gas grenades at all, not even with welding gloves

It’s not about Hezbollah.

Again, if you let any state get away with doing something against anyone, eventually they'll do it against you. Israel has gotten away with war crimes in Gaza, and they are allowed to continue doing so - and now it's here, too.

Time to delete your Linktree!

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

“The Right always takes distrust of capitalism and redirects the rightful anger from the people who deserve it to vulnerable populations in order to create faux-populism to further their own agendas.” Great @jysexton.bsky.social 🧵

dear god just saw how an it looks when someone's hit with the account wide adult content warning and it's fucking MISERABLE blurred icon, blurred banner, every single post is hidden, even text posts, and posts that have images require you to hit unhide TWICE for the text and image, fucking nightmare

“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.
