We're hearing reports that police have tear gassed a group of protesters outside the Senatobia Walmart where an officer shot and killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.

You love to see it

time for a lil bit of melon chompin'

gale was the model for "this rat that stares at gay people" happy pride, y'all. he is still out there, staring at you from heaven

I like this little sequence of pictures of a sparrow thinking about what song he's going to perform and getting progressively more excited about how impressive he is 🌿🦉

Not everyone is taking Captain Picard Day so seriously

I’ve been getting ads for @govpritzker.illinois.gov nonstop lately. His narrative about paying off $17B of unpaid bills would be a lot more compelling if the state would fully fund Chicago Public Schools with the $1.6B EBF dictates it should receive instead of forcing them to make cuts AGAIN.

Get their ass, Emily

"How am I suposed to avoid AI? It's so hard-" It's not. I don't use any, I don't buy any games that use it, I don't watch any channels that use it, and I never once opened ChatGPT, and lifes been life. Uninstall when you can, and avoid it otherwise. You can think for yourself, i promise

Why does it bother me when a manager or the CEO of my employer boasts about using Copilot to write their emails? This. This is why

It was just 2020 when everyone swore they understood the weight of racism in the United States, but now, less than ten years later, cross burnings are a funny goof? Wake the hell up.

I mean... It shouldn't be so hard to afford groceries. Or health care. Or get a well-paying job that allows decent work-life balance. Or have stable, safe, affordable housing. Or efficient, accessable public transportation... But sure, football 🫠

Cops SAW the infant enter the car and shot multiple bullets into the car none the less. Over a $20 package of allegedly stolen diapers? NEVER believe the cops statement when they murder us. They lie and we find out they lie when we see the actual video of what happened. For almost every murder.

This is pretty obvious to anyone who realises that if trans women were supercompetators there'd be a sports arms race about signing them to teams.

Happy Captain Picard Day!

This looks incredible. David Mack's the best Star Trek writer out there and a multi generational Spock story??? I'm in!

I don't think I like the narrative of being in a divided country. When somebody is racist I don't have a difference of opinion with that person. they have a moral failing. I'm not obliged to reach over the boundary and explain that we could probably swap kidneys if we needed. Who has the time lol

Well, I'll be damned. Mike DeWine has had, in effect, an execution moratorium in place in Ohio, but this is such an important progression on his part.

Telling me that YOU are using AI to create a film from my works is not a flex. And yes, I'm judging you. You sound like an idiot. Like, why can't you even make up your OWN shit and do that, if you need to do that?! Do you want to do ANYTHING more than use software? GTFOH.

Khalil Gibran knew this in 1923: Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

"So, if I use ChatGPT you think less of me?" Yep. Hope this helps.

Not a #parent, so I want to be empathetic. Raising kids is hard. However, I work in SPED &worked in social services 6yrs. At this point, I just gotta ask, do y'all even talk to your kids? Do you read w them? Hell, do you even watch tv w them??? The sheer volume of things kids are not being taught...

No, it's because only 3.1 percent of the Dutch population live in poverty as opposed to 20 percent of the British population. The Guardian really needs to stop publishing irresponsible lifestyle crap as news. (The Avondvierdaagse is a nice tradition though.) www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Here's @drewforny.bsky.social in the @forward.com saying he's for divesting from Israel bonds. "New York state must not enable or be complicit in such human misery any longer." He got my vote. forward.com/opinion/8179...

Do you like turtles? 🐢 Do you also like spiders? 🕷️ Then I have just the critter for YOU! You're looking at an 'orange tortoise spider' (Encyosaccus sexmaculatus), native to the Amazon basin of South America. If the legs seem 'stubby', that's because she's got her tarsus joints folded under her.

so, the company whose rockets keep exploding and whose ai keeps making kiddie porn is the wealthiest company in history. this shit is beyond satire.

Oh, you're worth $1.4 trillion on paper? Cool, you now owe the federal government $500 billion in cash, due by end of quarter.

I refuse to use your app. I am old and you will not force me to clutter up my phone.

This is my final story as an NPR correspondent. After more than 22 years at the network, I was among those laid off in a reorganization. www.npr.org/2026/06/01/n...

apologies for the shitty photo, this was something I snapped through closing subway doors. The two buttons read "Hire More BDRs" (business development representatives)/"Hire Ava." A couple of things here. Ava is the AI from the company running all those "don't hire humans" ads ...

Like so many other pathological personalities in positions of power a million years ago, he might do almost anything on impulse, feeling nothing much. The logical explanations for his actions, invented at leisure, always came afterwards. PS. - Kurt Vonnegut,  Galápagos

Today is a good day to cancel your Paramount+ subscription.

Right now, the only way to prevent Long COVID is to not get infected with or spread SARS-CoV-2, which our society seems to actively discourage. No KN95/N95s required anywhere, no mandatory improvements or indoor AQ 😷 no paid sick leave or universal health care to stop/slow the spread.

As requested, here are day old ducklings jumping off a ledge onto a lake set to "Ride of The Valkyries" 🐣 🪶

You could never make Ecto Cooler juice drink in today’s left-leaning cancel culture. You’re not allowed to be that edgy anymore.

if liberals need the trans jewish woman vote so desparately, perhaps they should not be supporting Platner.

DINOSAURS ARE COOL TRANSPHOBIA IS NOT

the difference between liberals and republicans is one party is in your face about what they think of you, the other lies to you when in reality their thoughts are no different than a republican fascist. conclusion, liberals are just as fascist as republicans, they just hide it better.
