Slightly diminish a band: The Hill Goats

New York City elected a socialist mayor & their moderate Dem governor is forced to move to the left to embrace universal childcare. Portland elected a CEO mayor & our moderate Dem governor is trying to kill universal preschool on behalf of the rich.

wild that 2A exists in a large part to prevent the lethal force power imbalance we see between protestors and government agents on large display

Here are the brands and sizes recalled 👇🏻 this is a serious recall. please check your fridge if you buy these brands.

hey all you artists out there, thanks for makin all the stuff you do

ah, so like the opposite of the rule of law, got it

Thank you. I've been sitting here trying to get myself to get up and walk to get some Five Guys fries. Now I have something to fantasize about while I wait

being privileged to have disability payments that are above the poverty line. (don't worry, they also independently make me ineligible for any state disability aid or assistance)

We don't say sex work is work because it's a cute slogan. We say sex work is work because sex workers are left out of conversations around labor rights. Sex workers have the right to safe workplaces and legal protections. Sex workers shouldn't fsce discrimination because of archaic morals.

obviously τ > π, but also τ > π

André, whose newsletter you should subscribe to, showed up for 2026 with a flamethrower. Pointed out weeks ago that a reported power struggle last spring saw NWSL's sporting director & head of marketing both depart. The chatter focused on the marketing vacuum, & it drove me quietly bonkers..

Dear @nytimespr.bsky.social. Your press release re comments I gave to @transnews.network includes many errors but one assertion is true: “TNN featured an interview with a former editor on the International desk at The Times who was not involved in these coverage decisions.” That is the problem

Actual exchange from court today: Me: I can't do January 20 for the hearing, your honor, because I'm having surgery, but I can do [dates in February] Judge: Ordinarily I'd accommodate medical issues, but not for people like you. Attend from the hospital if you have to.

We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times. Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

Literally fuck every government intelligence analyst who isn't picking up espionage act charges under Trump for leaking this crazy shit in advance

Their foundational product has defined peoples' understanding of operating systems — it gave so many low, low expectations

"It’s important to go after the fraud but don’t let the reasons these programs exist and the humans that need this care get lost in the process." Important blog post from my son @justinsmithwrites.bsky.social #Medicaid #Minnesota @lollardfish.bsky.social

i wonder if there are any parables in the bible related to christ's feelings on markets?

*repetitive strain injury from tapping the sign*

I feel like this Microsoft study is relevant. I saw excited coverage of how productive it made juniors and tch-tch for seniors for not having the same gains. So I read the paper. On page 6 they finally tell you they're measuring by only PR *count*. They just can *not* have worked in industry.

Everyone knows that she should be spending way less on each pair of boots despite reduced comfort and durability which forces purchasing a new pair in a relatively short amount of time such that by the time the expensive boots would have worn out she has spent far more than $630 on boots. Duh.

Happy five year transiversary to me ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

depressing to think about how the fascists have successfully convinced so many people that to keep America safe we must make violence the core of our culture, and then be like "oh right, war is peace."

hehehe #futch #musclebutt

he rambled at some length kinda under his breath about how this whole transgender thing didn't make sense to him, then looked up and said "you've got a nice ass in those dresses though"

I'm not gonna argue on a #TittyTuesday

this has been stuck in my head all day

was walking to get coffee and a fem was coming the other way. simultaneously she complemented my coat and i complemented her sweater, we both laughed, and then i kept walking for coffee

A housemate that kinda hated me (but hadn't told me yet), saying "you're so hot" in the most mournful tone

Notably, he probably spent highschool fantasizing about driving a charger to get a malt with the girl he creeped on

I grabbed this at a goodwill ages ago. Do you think it's supposed to be Bardot? My faceblind ass can't tell even holding it up next to a picture.

🥹👉👈🥺 i lasered some earrings for the first time in a bit!

Everyone should assume they've internalized ideas that are racist, misogynist, transphobic... that they don't recognize as such because that pre-acceptance makes it easier to skip some shame processing and just move on to doing better

Tried out another attempt to generate #AltText with an LLM. Shockingly, it performed poorly.

you've just opened up a star trek-themed restaurant what are you calling it? T. Merle's Souffle, Hot

Why did you transition? Wrong answers only. I'd heard so much about misogyny that I just *had* to experience it myself

FOAD ASAP TIA

man, i never registered just how awful "Grok" is as an LLM name when it's a word for understanding a thing on the deepest level possible and LLMs do not have the ability to understand

i've heard a lot of computer science folks so mad about "AI" now so widely meaning a narrow wedge of actual ai, but I feel like it's got nothing on The Algorithm

i don't want to brag, but when i see wild claims about a research paper, legislation, or law, i go and at least skim the research paper, legislation, or law

I support little of the gun control talked about in the US. so much of it comes down to making guns more expensive or letting a white supremacy judicial system more easily disarm the oppressed. A straight up limit on count, however I can more easily get behind. (added alt)

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

Is an executive order claiming control of the federal budget in order to effectively overrule state laws in direct service to capital while openly pining for dictatorship some kind of bingo?

I feel like executive orders superseding state law is such a wild departure from originalism that even the right wingers calling themselves lovers of the constitution should know better, but then SCOTUS right wingers left behind any respect for the document long ago.
