I am shocked. This is my shocked face.

I’m quite enjoying no-fucks-given Senator Tina Smith.

If you’re a CEO pushing the use of all things AI at a company meeting, be prepared to answer questions about how your organization will mitigate the ethical and environmental impacts of AI use. Acting surprised and as if you’ve never considered it makes you look like an unserious person.

Every so often, truth escapes Donald Trump's lips. This is true. Trump doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone's financial situation except his own and that of his cronies.

Imagining the look on me from 2015’s face if I could tell her that people in 2026 were out here fighting for not just clean air or clean water but also THE RIGHT FOR IT TO BE DARK OUTSIDE AT NIGHT AND TO NOT HAVE NOISES OUTSIDE YOUR FRONT DOOR THAT WILL DRIVE YOU INSANE. I hate AI.

My mother hates when I visit bc I just yell at them for attempting to clean up ecologically valuable things like dead tree trunks, tell her she needs to compost, point out her invasive plants, and tell her that we have to rip out the lawn and plant native trees/shrubs for the entirety of a weekend.

Almost all of the military items that JD Vance in 2024 argued the United States would have to provide (or not provide) to Ukraine turned out to be largely irrelevant. And not because Ukraine is losing. @brynntannehill.bsky.social on Putin's brutal math:

Attention Boomers: STOP REPLACING HARDWOOD FLOORS THAT JUST NEED TO BE REFINISHED WITH SHITTY VINYL FLOORING

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

I’ve only been to Tennessee a few times, but have always been so impressed by the efforts to overcome gerrymandered districts and a Republican supermajority - led by ppl who know that a better way is possible, for everyone.

The arc of the moral universe could respectfully GIVE US JUST A LITTLE BEND HERE PERHAPS during these TRYING AF TIMES

For his entire life, every word out of his mouth has been a lie. And the media stopped caring a long time ago that he lies as he breathes. Hopefully one day soon the American people will say they’re tired of being lied to every single day.

What happened in Alabama is actually happening everywhere. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

OBAMA: A good policy that I'd like to see followed is that the president shouldn't have a bunch of side hustles that companies and foreign entities can invest in COLBERT: How much of that is just jealousy that you didn't think of selling sneakers?

Hello my fellow BlueSkyers struggling to delete Meta products, can we all agree on a replacement for Instagram (I’ve heard Pixelfed or Vero) and Facebook (let’s ditch marketplace and go back to Craigslist at minimum)? It’s no fun until we all move. We did it when we all came here. Let’s do it again?

Republicans want a billion dollars for the ballroom now. That’s your money.

This is so bad that I actually gasped when I saw it. Losing the investigatory journalism of New York Magazine to right wing media would be a massive, massive blow. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/b...

I think we should give this a whirl

Currently annoyed with my husband because he has the audacity to be sitting on the balcony which I have curated to be specifically a birds-only environment.

john roberts has fulfilled his life's work and fully dismantled the crowning achievement of the civil rights movement. these fucking neo-confederate freaks need to be driven from power forever

I went back to wired headphones recently and can confirm it is a superior experience

Let’s discuss

Re-upping this to say absolutely fucking not.

You know what song people don’t talk about enough? Fred Jones, Pt. 2, Ben Folds.

I often struggle with the notion that we must only ally ourselves according to moral purity tests. There are not a million quotes about “strange bedfellows” throughout history because everyone had to agree on everything. It’s because they did what they needed to do to advance the cause in question.

The part of his career that wasn't money laundering and fraud was branding, licensing and leasing his name and image.

A ProPublica analysis of ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

by my tally we are now spending ~$2B to companies to NOT build more energy infrastructure. in the middle of an energy crisis

Follow the money. #TrumpCorruption

if only Louis XVI had had a ballroom he might be alive today

🧑‍🌾 WATCH: “If farmers contract cancer from this chemical, if this makes it into the Farm Bill you won’t be able to sue.” Rep Massie warns🚨about a provision protecting foreign pesticide corporations from lawsuits by sick farmers —a bill rusty grills pushes in Tennessee🤔

Hear me out: what if it were harder for people to get guns? Just spitballing.

Like honestly, no ones dead so let’s go back to talking about what the fuck Jared Kushner a rando private citizen is doing acting on behalf of the US government???

Everyone immediately assuming that an attempt on the President is staged is probably not a sign of a healthy democracy.

I think we should all just start buying land with our friends and neighbors on whatever scale we possibly can to keep developers and AI data centers out. Lot comes up that’s still wild? Pool whatever you can and throw it in a conservation easement. I’d rather raid my 401k than watch the world burn.

Tis the season where my bank account becomes a series of actblue debits that I should instead be using to pay off my law school loans

"The problem is cars, and that problem can’t be solved with different cars."

Has anyone ever noticed there is no pitchfork emoji because I think that tells us everything we need to know

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

Unplug the internet

If AI is so great, remove it from everything where it's been implemented without user consent and make it a user pays subscription service and see how many people REALLY want it

I actually agree that term limits are conceptually problematic because you risk over-empowering staff and lobbyists at the Member’s expense. Just like there are age minimums, there should also be age maximums. That is not a crazy concept.

From Australia: "New research has found public transport fares have not been a decisive factor in pushing people to shift from car to public transport." "Better public transport access, coverage, reliability, and travel time have a greater impact than price in changing long-term commuting habits."

Climate grief

I’m shocked. www.texastribune.org/2026/04/21/t...
