um holy shit?! Amazing work by the striking workers and BDS?!!

"Who would have predicted this?" - Black women did. - Trans people did. - The *entire* disability community did. - The anarchists did. - Post-Evangelicals did. "Well why didn't I hear them." You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

OUR PRESSURE IS WORKING! We spent all last week on the Hill pushing for articles of impeachment of RFK Jr. It's time to crank up the pressure EVEN MORE! You can help us! @standupforscience.bsky.social #impeachthequack

I’ve been on a real Britbox mystery binge lately and I feel like the other comfort factor of a Cozy Murder is that they frequently acknowledge the ineptitude of the police but posit the existence of alternate independent crime solvers more focused on protecting the innocent than punishing the guilty

Neurodivergent folks should all be paid a stipend to do things we like to do, and the world would end up benefiting from it.

As we saw in the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination earlier this month, the Trump administration is looking to markings on bullets and grasping at any other early information they can grab ahold of to blame some amorphous, leftist, anti-Trump entity for another act of violence.

Don’t get me wrong, it continues to be very scary that the Trump administration keeps desperately trying to create Reichstag fires and Horst Wessel Power Hours, it’s just also very noticeable that they somehow keep failing to stick the landing.

It sucks the way the humanities are being eroded & labeled unimportant. For every rant against a “new identity,” there is an ancient poem or painting or song or or or that tells us there is nothing new under the sun

This is very powerful. #MentalHealth

"They're denying science" is maybe the funniest thing Nancy has ever said.

This is an extension of the Right's concept that there's "polite violence".

[new Isaac Chotiner interview]

Peter Thiel giving lectures about the antichrist is just another illustration of the fact that the most dangerous thing about billionaires is that they exist in a world where nobody tells them their stupid ideas are stupid and are therefore prone to inflict their stupid ideas on all of us.

it's important to have role models!!!

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

You'll notice Charlie Kirk is not mentioned

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." me on why Ezra Klein should be ashamed / why shame is Good Actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

Boy, you’d think the part where the extreme right-wing religious zealots say, in print, “We look forward to working with the anti-woke centrists in the media to turn America into a theocratic authoritarian state, here’s how we plan to do that” might give Weiss et al. pause, but, nah, probably not.

"I voted for it because it doesn't actually do anything" is a pretty good encapsulation of Jeffries's recent politics

i've been studying the right-wing for over a decade what is happening now in online right-wing spaces is fucking me up in ways that i'm currently unprepared for and don't know how to cope with

calling autism a “tragedy” and saying that there should be fewer autistic people are eugenicist talking points. Everyone who opposes such views also needs to recognize the ways in which everyday ableism left the door wide open for a person like RFK Jr.

#Animorphs fans, I'm very happy to share that the first three books in the series are being rereleased next May with brand new covers. 🧊🦎 You can learn more here: thenerddaily.com/animorphs-by... Cover artist: @creepcaptain.bsky.social Book design: Cassy Price and Christopher Stengel at Scholastic

"well, the next time someone brings up a terrible anecdote about Cambodia or Vietnam, I will definitely drop the Star Wars story to show that people have two sides" is the most gasp-inducingly ruthless thing I've ever seen in Interviewer Boldface, and I can't believe this guy just went "yeah lol"

…And in this example we have a major corporation pulling a show because it might too overtly criticize self-avowed white supremacist terror networks.

Well there was a Buzz Lightyear movie that implied lesbians existed so now I hope you understand

LOL

Call your senators and your house rep. Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go. Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

Christian 1: well, we did it. No more pagan gods. A universal faith Christian 2: sure is buddy. The holy gospel. God's truth. Just the father, the son, and the holy spirit. Who of course proceeds from the father and from the son Christian 1: the fuck did you just say

"As Karen Ortiz, an EEOC administrative judge who was fired in June, puts it, his administration’s goal is to turn the agency into a “grievance apparatus for white, straight, Christian people.”"

One dynamic that national coverage of campus speech has understated is the degree of surveillance for the purposes of punishment. In this case, the student wanted anonymity. In other cases, students are trying to build a brand. Few students but big effects. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/how-to-bec...

Another example of—it doesn't matter how much you give up your own position to try to "appease" the Right, they will just ignore all of it and continue to misrepresent you to their base in order to win elections and dehumanize their opponents.

Anyone got a Rapture Updates Feed?

Yeah this is ALL bad.

Also an interesting case-study in how, once you start thinking you can *make up a story* to explain something, you end up committed to the reality of the story you've created more than you are to whether it matches external reality. A lesson for us all.

This is one of the worst analogies I’ve ever read and I used to have a podcast where all I did was read some of the most atrocious writing in English history.

dear lord, i've seen what you've done for others

Another great day to purchase from @reforest-kelley.bsky.social.

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.
