Caught the beginning of CR4ep3 livestream but fell asleep during it.. so now I gotta wait until Monday to see what happens. But I did wake up with this image in my mind, so I had to draw it~ I am most intrigue by their dynamiccccccc 👀 #CriticalRoleSpoilers #CriticalRolefanart

This is genuinely top 5 dumbest thing any American politician has ever said. These fucking people.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

damn right; bottom trawling is an ecological crime, and any politician that supports it is guilty

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.

Already run into kids who, when seeing my wildlife photos, exclaim 'that's AI'

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

You cannot separate the current nightmare we now inhabit from the collapse/crisis in how rich, powerful middle-aged men perceive masculinity, especially their own insecurities.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Every single Democratic senator that votes to cave on this should be immediately ejected from the party, and the national party should immediately start running primary candidates in their districts. There is no bipartisanship possible with traitors and fascists. You either fight, or die.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I ~personally~ cannot wait for this AI bubble to burst I am sick of the yellow-stained slop images, mediocre vibecoded projects, shameless cheating, environmental destruction, and the soaring energy prices the worst people are getting richer, and making it worse for the rest of us in the process

Gentle reminder that the idea that SCOTUS and appellate judges can only follow what the law is and not what the law should be is conservative propaganda from the 1970s and 1980s created by the Federalist Society in response to the civil rights decisions of the Warren Court.

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

Seriously, if you have a Sikh gurdwara in your area please let people know about this. We have at least one here in Detroit Metro that I know of. Bonus is that Sikhs are, on the whole, extremely rad people.

OpenAI does not care if you live or die and occasionally champions the latter. Universities must cut all ties to this dangerous corporation

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

My latest is full of stuff that's not easy, but is really important -- and, you know, the Talmud-- stuff that dates to 300 CE, in what's now Iraq-- is in a number of ways more progressive than USA laws ca. 1993, or even ca. today. So. Uh.

ONCE AGAIN: Yes, it is possible for people to have a genuine change of heart and to make amends (see Robert Byrd, etc.). HOWEVER, YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY *DO THE WORK,* and that takes TIME and EFFORT. You can't just change your tune on stuff you've said/done for years and suddenly everything's cool.

New campaign ad for Dems just dropped.

He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.

It is not, in fact, smart, they're betting they take the House and the ACA will be a dead issue in 2026, but this deal undermines their ability to take the House. And with the gerrymandering, they may not anyway. The current Democratic leadership just doesn't have the steel for this time in history.

The November Dropout Store pins of the month demand you CHOOSE YOUR SIDE 🫵 Puzzle Master or Brennataur?

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

In a world of Jeffs, be like MacKenzie.

This is HUGE

I still remember my anthropology professor’s favorite joke from college: “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.”

I teach this article EVERY time I teach philosophy of tech.

God, a thousand times this. That's the thing with dopamine being tied to task initiation - there's a set of gears that won't - CAN'T - engage in my brain, but none of my problems are with analysis. I can be fully aware of all the necessary steps, and stressing about starting, and just... not.

When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same. Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

trying to imagine the room of people going "gottem" on this, and yeah, they should be launched into the sun with all the other racist garbage I had aunts and uncles I wasn't even related to, like just very close friends of the family, but they were still absolutely my aunts and uncles. l m a o.

i mean this. If anyone in your life starts nattering on about this, you reply "oh, so you're pro-genital inspections for children??"

I'm white* (Jewish) and *I* grew up with my mom's 1st cousin as my "Uncle" and my 2nd cousins as just my cousins (close relationships, like 1st cousins are expected to be by WHite People I guess). *well, not to the antisemitic white nationalists, but yknow

I can't emphasize this enough: millions of Americans live in a fascist bubble. They think we're terrorists who want to kill them. One of the aims in my next book is to demonstrate, with 2000 as an almost arbitrary baseline, how GOP propagandists slowly turned this into common sense.

Dems *can’t* fold. Not anymore. Folding and getting nothing is a tacit admission that the shutdown and what pain it caused is all on us. We are in this now, and we’ve got to see it through.

"How did people survive before______" friend ... people used to starve to death... i hope that helps

You can see how differently the media covers Republicans perfectly in just this post alone No panicked follow up on his health, no pushback on the batshit 3rd term non-sense.

are we all normal about that vamp fang Solas mod or is it just me #Solas #DragonAge

[Rook voice] maybe if you had some friends you'd calm down 🙄 #datv

was looking at that little Thimble i drew and i had a vision that i now offer it to you

Oh the emotional turmoil coming for this "cleric" #cr4 #criticalrolefanart #criticalrole #wicander #criticalrolespoilers

"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil." Great essay from @juliusgoat.bsky.social

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)
