I quite happily live in a neighborhood where most people do not share my religion, where multiple languages are represented, and where people have come from a lot of different countries. Bigoted assholes always assume everyone else actually shares their bigotries.

I'm looking for Chicago trans performers (comedians, musicians, drag) for my DNA Day launch party for @beyondxandy.bsky.social on Sat April 25. Bonus if you have content around biology, science, or medicine. If you're interested or know someone who might be, please email me at [email protected]

Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad

From an interview I did re. publishing/art organizing: I think a lot of people assume they won’t be taken seriously if they do something that isn’t at the invitation of an institution. But we create our own authority for our projects based on the level of seriousness that goes into them.

You've posted a very droll fictional scenario. Please select a response: • A fact about the joke you told, the existence of which forms the premise of it. • Correction of errors I spotted in your imagination.

Whether through impeachment or the 25th Amendment, it’s clear that Donald Trump is dangerously unhinged and must be removed from power.

Whether your dream is to be a TV star, an A-list director, or a renowned cinematographer, Illinois is the place to be. We have the workforce, infrastructure, sound stages — and there’s simply an inherent air of creativity and passion here.

AOC can repudiate Trumpism and become America's first socialist president. Now is her moment argues @breadnrosie.bsky.social: powermapmag.substack.com/p/aoc-must-b...

Daniel Biss told @wttw.bsky.social last night that he was "disappointed by" the DNC's decision to block this resolution, particularly condemning AIPAC

Obviously I’m kidding

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5) www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

he would not fucking say that

“Among the 10 largest metro areas in the country, Chicago was one of only four that saw improvements in domestic migration last year.” For the third year in a row, Chicago’s population is on the rise – and it’s no surprise that people are recognizing what makes it the best big city in the nation.

My bad 🙋‍♂️

A woman testified in court about being raped and then stepped outside the courthouse and ICE officers without uniforms tackled her to the ground and forced her into an unmarked van. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is missing the key to Section 4 of 25: It can be done immediately. That, in fact, is the word in the amendment. Further action almost surely will be necessary. But now is now. I make this point repeatedly (to the point I thought it redundant) in my piece: www.lawdork.com/p/donald-tru...

Trump is completely unhinged. He’s putting us all at risk while Republicans in Congress enable him.

Saw this in the sky over Las Vegas like 10 minutes ago and just finishing up my will now I guess

Beautiful day to fill the 100,000th pothole of the year.

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it" both parts are important!

Today, I'm sitting down with Leila Bozorg and Cea Weaver from my housing team for a live AMA on r/nyc. Bring your questions on affordable housing, tenant protections, and the fight to keep NYC a home for working people. We'll be live at 1:45pm for an hour.

When a 1-unit house is replaced with ONE larger house, the new house is ~3X pricier. When replaced by 5+ houses, each new house will be (on avg) cheaper than the original house. www.aei.org/research-pro... Change is part of the deal. Will we choose greater physical change, or greater price change?

We must all take the day to remember our lord and saviour gabumon, who died to free us from our sins. Digiamen.

In America they’re not saying Happy Easter anymore they’re saying Praise be to Allah.

I had to check but yes, this is real.

The NYT should be ignored and shunned until it changes or goes out of business. They’re a perversion of journalism. They should accept a base level of ethical beliefs and standards, and not be ashamed of reporting negatively on those who violate or seek to destroy them.

One thing I love is the percentage of “journalism” devoted to pretending this kind of gutter racism is some benign, rational other thing that only the white people midwestern diners and staffers at right wing think tanks can truly understand bsky.app/profile/pale...

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

NYC street vendors are missing out on the enormous Mamdani tourist merch market.

The Rocky Horror Show at Studio 54 should make a superstar of Luke Evans for his Tom of Finland take on Frank-N-Furter. I wish I could’ve got a picture of him wearing the wig! #RockyHorror

I think a lot of Bluesky users are in the demographic of “people who simply will stop using social media entirely if all the text-based social platforms that aren’t run by unrepentant Nazis (like this one) go away,” myself very much included

You know whose fault it actually is that bluesky is dying? the reply guys, who consistently let down power users with substandard riffs and slightly off-topic GIFs

Yes, finally someone brave enough to demand an Inquisition to stop politicians’ anodyne holiday tweets.

You're cheering for the Iranians blowing up a data center for butlerian jihad reasons I'm cheering for the Iranians blowing up a data center because it's an Oracle facility We are not the same

If you’re replying with “but Mamdani!” realize you’re saying, “but [generational political talent]!” And my reading of the numbers is that he didn’t need the turnout from the “zero primes” to do it.

Then why do they get social security

every single one of these fired losers will sycophantically praise trump on the way out and as soon as he dies will claim they were fired for being the only person in the room to dare to stand up to him
