It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Because of new USPS rules, voters who mail registration forms near the deadline may risk being left off the rolls. One solution: requesting a manual postmark at the retail counter of a post office.

"What do you think of Congress" well I think it would be a good idea

@scalper88.bsky.social @sumokirby.bsky.social Nailed it! Congratulations, with a 7 day delay you belatedly win the internet.

THIS.

The idea of a legislative body representing the population having the ability to check the ultimate power of a country’s leader sounds really neat. Someone should write that down.

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

’Tis the time’s plague, when madmen lead the blind.

I’m gonna mute the word “distraction” for the next 72 hours. None of this is a distraction from anything else, the US Government is, and has been, a death cult run by rapists. Every atrocity they commit is its own reward.

I mean it is like they do not want to be in the white house where people know and have high expectations and easier access for international diplomacy. Instead a wanna be dictator is in his private residence more often so only his friends, allies, & yes men can reach him.

Jesus Christ they're running the war from Mar-a-Lago www.reuters.com/world/us/top...

The state of our union is unacceptable.

One day I hope this will feel outdated. We’re nowhere near there yet.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

In 2025, 15 pedestrians were killed by vehicles, the same number as in 2024. Both years marked the city’s highest pedestrian death toll in more than a decade.

I’m the orchestra teacher. Thank you for this. The choir sounded lovely, and the 6th gradeiness of it all makes that concert my favorite all year. ❤️ Going to a 6 period day next year is going to be devastating for music, and is probably going to destroy the high school programs within 5 years.

This is so devastating. 😭 Next year (unless funding is restored by Anch voters w/ the muni levy & by #akleg #akgov), my daughter will have to choose between Spanish immersion and choir.

A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas. This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people. This erasure is what contributes to the persecution.

Heads up to anyone who uses Amazon wish lists to allow others to send them stuff, they are changing how it works, privacy-wise, and it could reveal the address to senders via tracking updates.

I’m so angry, I can’t form words to express it.

Last night, the Anchorage School Board approved a budget that officials described as "severe," to address a $90 million budget deficit. Cuts include more than 500 staff -- including over 300 teachers -- and three elementary school closures. alaskapublic.org/news/educati...

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

With one now-deleted video, Virginia Johnson, CEO of Anytime Author Events, appears to have set off a furious reaction among romance readers and authors - which is almost impressive considering the number of events that are potentially involved.

NYT question asks: Can AI chat box write emotionally rich romance? Since article is behind paywall, and I’m not paying, my answer is no. Even knowing they pirated and scraped all the books of every romance writer I know, I still say, no. What say you, Romancelandia??

Thanks for nothing Senator Dan Sullivan. No ACA subsidies for you Alaska with the most expensive healthcare in the USA. It’s okay, you’ll be fine without insurance, just eat real food!

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

This is what matters about doing art in any form.

A small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case
