What I imagine the TPUSA convention is like. youtu.be/84burI5cXGM?...

one lesser awful thing about the Epstein files is that genuine crimes against a huge number of children are being morphed into fuel for the influencer industrial complex who don't care about truth or accuracy and just want grist for the content mills

Not surprised that AI is quickly becoming a symbol of low class and the people with financial means (and are often the ones pushing AI on the rest of us) won't tolerate it.

@altwatcher.bsky.social you keep way better tabs on AltNPS than I do. Have they posted anything at all about Mike Lee's proposed changes to the Senate appropriations bill that would remove language protecting federal lands, including national parks? www.sfgate.com/national-par...

I really miss the days when the country took the time to romance us first. Now it's just uninspired war without any foreplay. If he even manages to stay awake that long.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

And that silence relies on a shared racial understanding that doesn’t need to be spoken because it is ingrained: That white men are and have been the most qualified and the only true meritocratic hires, that their rightful place is on top. So there is no need to speak to the past.

Hot take: the goobers who write/read this crap believe it because they only make movies about the few people who made it. Like Woodward and Bernstein, and not the hundreds of copywriters and filing clerks toiling away down in the cubicle dungeons.

The FBI is committing all available resources to transvestigating the shooter.

Growing up I was pro-wrestling adjacent. I didn't have strong opinions, but my best friends were mega-fans. That said, Mick Foley was always my favorite wrestler. Glad he's still one of the good guys.

Small-scale, fiercely independent journalism rarely gets recognition when awards are handed out, but it's vital in our communities—especially this year. So I made an award and am thrilled to announce @unraveledpress.com and @lataco.bsky.social as the inaugural winners. dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

These guys all pinned their hope (and money) on AI being the next iPhone when it's actually the next 3D TV. Remember those? Yeah, me either.

Really useful analysis of data to show how many people are going to ICE detention from local jails. These arrests are less visible to the public - as compared to raids or street arrests -- so we don't see the full scope.
