For any guys dressing up as women this Halloween “as a joke”, we’ll be here for you when you’re ready.

I love to see stuff like this because it helps explain to people trapped in tech-sponsored information bubbles the actually obvious fact that universities teach people to know & think things, and AI is a way to produce the effect of knowing & thinking things w/o actually knowing & thinking them.

ObPeriodicReminder: If you were born before 1982 and don't have conclusive, *documented* proof of getting 2 doses of MMR, get another dose unless it's counterindicated. The second dose wasn't added to the schedule until later and a lot of us never got the catchup dose.

Ah, I see DoL is posting apparently-neutral words with pics that amplify the finest segregationist agenda. [plonk]

"Inside ICE Detention: A Documentary" investigates Tacoma's immigration detention center during a time of swift policy changes under the Trump administration.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Damn, you caught me! I'm so eager for my precious clicks -- which, as we know, can be converted into cash -- that I lied. I *am* being dishonest about Gavin Newsom being awful on trans issues. Sorry! To make amends, I'll just Google "Newsom trans" and post all the terrific stuff he's done.

ALL Haymarket EBooks are 80% off through November 7th ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽

I mean, it is if you’ve had a few decades’ messaging that it’s for your own good and [group] has it worse, I guess.

I once mentioned “welfare fraud” in front of a friend who worked for the General Accounting Office (US fed bookkeepers). “Did you know it costs far more to chase ‘welfare fraud’ than is actually ‘’’defrauded’’’?” I think about that a lot. Keep your eyes on your own damn cart.

These are definitely on the list. I’d add in removing the incarceration clause from the Thirteenth Amendment and rejecting the Doctrine of Discovery—as long as we’re shooting for the moon here.

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit "We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

In the first 9 months of this year, I have tracked many anti-LGBTQ+ laws. I've also wrote about the people fighting back against them. Read my latest post at the Kettering Foundation, and hold onto hope. kettering.org/when-institu...

This mf destroyed homeless' camps with his own hands.

What do Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Comcast, Meta, and HP have in common? They all once pledged to stop donations to anyone who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And now they're all donors to Trump's White House ballroom. https://popular.info/p/these-corporations-stopped-worrying

Instead of trying to green cars so much why don't we just invest in trains. city trains. under ground trains. above ground trains. trains between cities. trains between countries. TRAINS THE PEOPLE CRAVE TRAINS

Guillermo del Toro speaks for so many of us. (Can this please become a meme? Thank you very much. And fuck AI.)

I am an entire mayonnaise-slathered Saltine-American with a verified moontan. I had this kind of auntie and I AM this kind of auntie to a few folks. Anyway, the NY Post is a Murdoch failson rag, fuck 'em.

In the end, don’t we all want the same thing? A mossy haunted cottage in the woods, tea and snacks to share with the wild forest folk, and a lending library of books that would make the old gods blush?

This whole thread is just.... Cannot believe it needs to be said, thank God it is being said, and fuck this shit, abolish everything that led to this.

Give me a break.

World Series games don’t even let you go to sleep anymore. Because of woke.

Tonight, honeynut squash soup, starting with a solid @kenjilopezalt.bsky.social recipe. Herbs and honey from my yard, which feels good. @koshersoul.bsky.social’s kitchen pepper blend already has nutmeg! Done! Topped w/frizzled sage chiffonade & pepitas. www.seriouseats.com/easy-stoveto...

The government shutdown has put SNAP benefits at risk for millions of Americans. Travis Peters, an urban farmer in Detroit, is giving out free produce tomorrow 'If it's getting tight, my food is free. Don’t even sweat that'

I’m so sick of the economic issues are more important than social issues people. 44% of the US is non-white, 30% are white women. We’re all included in “DEI,” a group they’re trying to kick out of the job market. It’s hilarious that anyone thinks they can have an economy without us.

it makes me vibrate with rage to see rightwing bullshit about how people getting food stamps don't work. my friend M works full time—NIGHTS—cleaning the airport! that is harder than I or any of these lousy fucks have ever worked in our useless lives

dickerson is one of the best broadcast journalists in the game, and someone who would clearly be a real asset to a new leader interested in strengthening the network's journalism. but, of course, we know weiss isn't actually interested in journalism as such.

Exactly this. The Christian Nationalist agenda in lighting what’s left of the social safety net on fire is to get you to go to THEIR churches and get “saved”.

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage. The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn. No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Night time is the right time to relax. Night time is the right time for love. Night time is the right time to shamble in the shadows. Night time is the right time to unfurl your great black wings and soar over the wildlands and under the dim light of stars.

Cutting off food stamps is monstrous at any moment, but the demand is so, so high right now. The local rural shelter that my Quaker meeting helps to supply with food says they've gone from feeding 30-40 people per meal to *70* in the last year.

We're there now. Republicans are killing SNAP. The Democratic Party should be out in every community GIVING PEOPLE FOOD.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026. I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

If you wait for the right time to do something difficult, you may be waiting forever. Worse, you may deceive yourself with excuses to wait. Avoid being reckless, but do not wait for another day when today is waiting for you.

Famous Shanghai tea brand Auntea Jenny recently gave away uterus plushies with their drink set that nourishes and aids blood generation, this has been controversial, but they previously released stomach and kidney plushies, so why not uterus. Good to see more antidotes to period shame. #popculture

Saw a stack of these Know Your Rights cards at an Ethiopian restaurant, printed in English and Amharic

It's never too late to care. It's never too late to try something new. It's never too late to read forbidden books. It's never too late to learn the old magic. It's never too late to build an unstable catapult that launches balls of swords.

The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms. It’s becoming more explicit. (Also note the gratuitous shot at the NBA, aka Black athletes who oppose him)

If you post a screenshot of a ChatGPT or Google AI claim to prove a point, you should automatically lose whatever argument you're having. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. It is meaningless.

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

Abolish. Fire. Prosecute.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high. SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”. Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers. People need & deserve assistance Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich Be mad about that

An immigrant couple is instructed to only feed their child more expensive pasteurized milk in THE ITALIAN (1915). When the husband is robbed and wrongfully imprisoned, the wife is forced to buy cheaper raw milk and the baby dies from it. This kind of social commentary was common in the 1910s.

The Star Trek thing (see previous RTs) pisses me off not just bc it's obviously wrong but bc it's based on a deep misunderstanding of Trek, the least macho SFF franchise in which everyone abandons greed and aggression in favor of problem solving while wearing bright primary colors

Small bright moments to remind you that not everyone sucks: a Dallas, TX United Methodist Church responds to TX's law preventing rainbow crosswalks by painting their steps and church doors instead www.thepinknews.com/2025/10/24/t...

Good, because we’d barely HAD the first taste of DEI before my fellow Saltine-Americans flipped their shit. Let’s get that back and actually invest past the first course this time.

Fuck these people for being cowards
