I had to reread this looking for which brand because the first time through I assumed the link title was just saying e-bikes are cool. Because e-bikes ARE rad

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

“U Are the Universe” is a Ukrainian sci-fi tragicomedy made over ten hard years, now in theaters, showing how dreams survive even in dark times. 🧵 1/11 ⬇️

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Yo what’s up chat. It’s ya boy Sisyphus, back again with another Eternal Boulder Any% run. If you’re new here, smash that follow button like Zeus smashed my hopes and dreams.

Treatment for trans kids cannot wait for adulthood. Adolescent changes in the body are permanent and irreversible. The pain of dysmorphia kills. No medical professional treats kids casually, no family seeks treatment casually. Treatment is safe, effective and is a conservative course of action.

It feels so good to believe in people again. Holy shit was tonight a shot in the arm. I hope every spineless CEO and sitting official takes sees what’s coming and makes changes now. We have a long way to go, but imagine how great this will feel when we keep showing up. Voting matters. Congrats all.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Great job, Joe

I will stop calling people fascists when they stop being fascist.

Wearing my new Alanna Kennedy jersey to the Angel City game tomorrow would be too much of a statement, right?

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

Vaccines don’t cause autism. Tylenol (acetaminophen) doesn’t cause autism. Miniscule trace pesticide residues don’t cause autism. Aluminum doesn’t cause autism. Fluoride doesn’t cause autism. The biggest predictor of autism? Genetics. And we recognize autism better today. 1/

For the Epsteinth time, Tylenol doesn’t cause autism.

The plot of the new Ant-Man sounds AWESOME

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

People doing the "What will happen now??" calculus should consider that most normal people, which is still a majority of Americans, do not know who he is.

Never became as popular as "ET Phone Home" did it

There are some incredibly vital issues at this moment in time that go beyond like, oh we disagree on marginal tax rates but we can still be friendly. Trans rights are one of those issues. Trans rights are human rights and those are not negotiable. (see also: genocide; fascism. not unrelated!)

I love that Theo Huxtable has a "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" poster in his room in season 1 of The Cosby Show (episode "Independence Day" (1985)). Rest in Peace Malcolm-Jamal Warner! 😢🖖

My agenda is telling people that if Gavin Newsom, who is currently very much laying the groundwork for becoming the Dem nominee for president in 2028, is not a good OR winning candidate and I’ll fill out any captcha you like, even the puzzle with the stoplights

If you haven’t already, now is a great time to start not supporting Gavin Newsome for president

I don't think I have *ever* seen an op-ed that told conservatives to climb down off their high horse, be the bigger person, and reach out to their left/liberal family members. It's just assumed that hard-right folks won't change, and nobody should ask them to.
