So I'm assuming that financial journalists are hard at work figuring out who in the administration shorted Kenvue today, right?

Reactionary idiots couldn’t even think a single week ahead.

Um holy fuck?

BREAKING: Our opposition and upset over Jimmy Kimmel being taken off air have led to Kimmel coming back. Let's organize that much noise for reporters like Mario Guevara detained (despite being here legally) for filming police & ICE:

Kermit the Frog after drinking the water from an ashtray left outside all winter: “It’s the Tylenol.”

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

Maybe boycotts work www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/b...

This is unironically a lot worse than Jimmy Kimmel but you won't see 1/1000 of the outrage

Genius suggestion from @brinablank.bsky.social

Seriously, a world without zealots? I’m all in.

LOL. Not Disney releasing a Star Wars trailer hoping that will appease the masses. They are desperate.

Currently in recovery from my first colonoscopy. Would recommend for you fellow oldies.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

We've already seen this happen multiple times over. It isn't an "if," it's a "when." We saw it with LiveJournal (Strikethrough), we saw it with the Tumble "porn ban," and while it might not have been as intentionally targeted, it was also one of the casualties of deleting all Yahoo Groups. (Cont'd)

Truly astounding who steps up and who doesn't

Your reminder to delete that period tracking app "Senior executives at leading menstrual-cycle tracking apps said they are “in disbelief” at new UK police guidance that suggests officers could check women’s phones for the apps after an unexpected pregnancy loss" observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Since this whole debate is still happening, and since we are still not listening I will summarize what I understand the argument to be in the Lingua Franca of white nerds: Lord of the Rings analogies.

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

Make no mistake: Charlie Kirk's memorial isn't about Charlie Kirk. It's a spectacle purposely designed to inflame and incite the lingering remnants of MAGA and Trump cultists into a holy war, one last great manipulation from a fascist movement that knows its time is coming to an end.

What a great fucking metaphor they didn't mean to employ

This absolutely correct. I would add that no sentient being should take Fang seriously about ANYTHING but particularly about organizing. He doesn't know anything.

you guys

those norms are not shattered, they're pulverized into slug slime

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

Buried details: the 18% of kids whose identities shifted over the course of the study were overwhelmingly between binary trans and non-binary or vice versa. The number who shifted between binary cis and trans was very low indeed - out of a subset of 254, precisely *one* kid shifted in this way.

And economically shit is only JUST hitting the fan. People are nervous right now but they are going to be FURIOUS by December. I don't see how that doesn't happen. He's not reversing on tariffs and companies aren't going to quietly eat shit on his behalf forever.

If you get arrested at a protest, and you need to fight a charge, who's your lawyer? A public defender may represent you at arraignment. (Love you, PDs!) Afterward, usually it's an NLG lawyer, working for free. The NLG Chicago needs your support. (ACLU doesn't do crim defense, with exceptions.)

A group of youth climate researchers affiliated with UC Davis is trying to fix climate models to correct for fossil fuel industry propaganda that has snuck its way in. But... of course their funding was just cut. :( So they're doing a GoFundMe. www.gofundme.com/f/support-Ba...

Because the far right takeover of media has occurred globally

so, NYC people: it looks like this means PIX 11 pix11.com

a domestic terrorist grips a woman by the throat in a choke hold. Another domestic terrorist comes up and pulls his hand away to stop the choking - even this fascist knows it is a step too far - and the hero in the photo tearfully holds up a peace sign with stoic grace

over here desperately trying to raise money to pay editors and other staff who with skill and experience bring real stories from around the world to be freely available online for anyone to read, and meanwhile people are spending huge amounts on visual, textual, technological lies, lies, lies

Literally disappearing people. I remember centrists scoffing at the idea when smart people said it would happen a year ago.

Disney cancelled the red carpet at the Lilith Fair premiere tonight. I know why but also Lilith Fair bothered people then and it is definitely gonna bother people now. I have a piece coming out on it on Tues, it’s on Hulu now and while you wait for your Disney+ subs to run out you should watch it

Breaking News: Britain, Canada and Australia formally recognized Palestinian statehood.

Funny how corporations are terrified of MAGA boycotts (that never amount to any real loss) but stare into the middle distance as they lose money from liberal boycotts.

New from me: There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo. Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post. Read and judge for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Affordable power for decades, neighborhood resiliency in catastrophes, & then the small fact that this DOES NOT DESTROY THE ONLY LIVABLE PLANT THAT WE KNOW OF— a truly spectacular one at that. Resist fascism. Solar on every school, community center, and a whole lot more. #SunDay

Seeing some of the new arrivals posting about Bluesky being boring. I hate to break it to you, but if you find Bluesky boring, that's 100% your fault, because the only person working behind the scenes here to make it not boring is… you. Here's some of the “work” that I've done and recommend… 🧵

meanwhile costco was all “DEI is good and we’re keeping it, fuck you” and they’re now basically printing money

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like

JUST IN: The law, opposed by police organizations, was aimed by lawmakers at immigration agents and will test state powers over the conduct of federal officials.

When pundits are mad and write a Bluesky sucks article it’s bc they can’t game the algorithm here lol like they’re so mad they just get blocked into oblivion

Thekla is pure fucking aura.

top shelf "he just tweeted it out" stuff here

They absolutely failed at making that loser anything more than a goddamn loser.

Yep. You out a price tag on the stupidity and like magic, people will all of a sudden care a lot about responsibility.

LMFAO they completely shit the bed on martyring this dude. They barely made a week before doing it too. We need to wake up to the idea that these moneyed weirdos are weak and stupid. pbs.twimg.com/media/G1QmYa...

I knew I saved all my cardboard boxes for a reason... (Buy Nothing groups folks, works every time)
