A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

Aaron is one of the kindest people I know, and has been a best friend for 20 years. It's been a very stressful week, but today he is successfully out of surgery. If you know him from the Louisville metal scene and can help, or just want to say FUCK CANCER, click here www.gofundme.com/f/aaron-faut...

Just to be clear: Trans people are the working class. Black people are the working class. Immigrants are the working class. Pregnant people are the working class. Brown people are the working class. Asian people are the working class. Disabled people are the working class.

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption. My full statement:

Thomas Begay is one of the last living Navajo code talkers. Native American WW2 marines who radio communicated via their unwritten language as code. Extremely brave and skilled, they saved countless lives in the pacific this way. He's been removed from DOD websites by Hegseth.

This is the most petty thing, but I hate that oversized baseball caps with no curve on the brim are in style now. You look like you're 14 and your clothes don't fit. You look like the type of guy to walk out of the house unshowered in new clothes. You look like a mannequin at a dirt mall.

I know this is left field but this entire line of thought is incredible proof that there is one huge group chat and we’re not in it.

Post summer of Tess Everis. 🌅✨️ #Destiny2 #Destiny2Art (Other version of this on my exclusive page.)

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism. 🧵

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second. We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Okay, it's time. I have a prized Cult of the dead cow Zippo lighter. These simply do not exist anywhere. But a CDC member is hurting and I want to encourage donations to the GoFundMe, so out it goes. Details in thread.

AI still can’t do this

I've been doing my best to slither out of anything even remotely invested or related, which is! Surprisingly difficult! But I think well worth the effort

Oh, about bailouts being a thing that can happen this time: bsky.app/profile/pook...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

🔥 Sticky is a defenseless mimic incapable of shapeshifting into nothing but gloves, lacking convincing disguises or a bite to fend-off attackers. A little smarter than usual, it has the habit of befriending those who wear it, aiding them in exchange for protection. #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg

Every time I see Hegseth's tattoos I'm struck by how dark, sharp, & new they look. I got my first tattoos when I was 5. Guide lines & dots for a radiation cannon long before PC-laser-guided proton beams. When I got old enough & wondered too long what it all meant, I put my patient ID nearby.

Because if we loved each other and loved our Earth, both wouldn't be so easy for capital & thugs to exploit. So people like Pete decided delusions of a master race/culture mattered more than the cause of humanity. Think hard about the messages you send with your life, and how you lead.

Kant says being mean to anything negatively affects you. People who take joy in negativity have something going on. So I agree, I don't see any reason to be yelling at a chatbot. (But obviously not because of the chatbot's feelings, which don't exist.)

I just emailed your post calling me white to Equifax, hopefully they’ll increase my credit score

Sometimes being an adult is getting three $1000+ bills in 3 weeks. Yuck. (one is an error at least, one I can do payments on, but the third has to be paid in full 💀) Having an ironclad budget saves my ass AGAIN. Dang

Finally, some motion on the needed paperwork 💀 Just a couple of things to wrap up and I can get this particular packet to the lawyer. This sucks, but it's not difficult. It's just annoying and time-consuming. And expensive!

It’s October 3rd. No significance particularly to me but I’ll always repost our backyard opossum communing with my goldfish. Because there needs to be joy in the world. #opossum #goldfish

If you follow AI, you've heard a number of cognitive scientists weigh in with valuable insights and concerns. You may not have heard from one quite like Hagen Blix, however, who describes generative AI as "class warfare through enshittification." My interview with @hagenblix.bsky.social:

you're going to see alot of financially savvy creators buy 3D printers soon so they dont have to deal with the idea of tarrifs

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Armed and fully militarized raids using blackhawks to drop troops into neighborhoods around Chicago should probably be bigger news. Even in an unfolding fascist police state that should be registering with people of good conscience as something they cannot allow to continue.
