Whoever designed this utterly wasted the fabric, thread, the skills of the seamstress, and the time of everyone scrolling the catalog. I seriously question who they think might buy this.

"buy ethically made clothes!" "ok… why are all of them fatphobic?"

It turns out the pelvic floor touches almost everything—breathing, lifting, laughing, organs, nerves, even the way we hold on when we think we’re relaxed. www.wired.com/story/the-pe...

Most of us grow up with no idea what the pelvic floor really does, or how much stress, pain, pregnancy, posture, breath, and everyday life can quietly collect there. www.wired.com/story/the-pe...

The President of the United States is literally threatening opposing lawmakers with death for a video they made encouraging service members to refuse unlawful orders.

This is part of a pattern we have documented this year at The New York Times. Dads (President Trump, Steve Witkoff and Howard Lutnick) doing government work. As their sons push ahead with related family businesses, cashing in. (This story from May) www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/u...

Here you have Sec Lutnick as Commerce Secretary and his oldest son, Kyle Lutnick, involved in exactly the same AI data center deal. Dad as government official. Son as financial deal maker--earning the family-controlled company millions in fees. Both this summer.

NEW: As Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick drives billions of dollars in foreign payments to help build AI data centers in the US, his sons help run a company earning tens of millions in fees helping finance AI data centers. A NYT investigation. (Free link) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/u...

...but it turns out "actually deliberately reprogramming grok to write creepy elon musk fanfic in which he is fitter than lebron james and can outfight mike tyson" is the actual funniest grok thing, i keep having to recalibrate what the funniest grok thing is

We need universal basic income. It will function as a cushion for people so that losing a job or not being able to find one doesn't mean zero income, and having basic income will also better enable finding or even creating a new job. Also, AI is trained on all our work. We should all get our share.

journalists who don't cover X but continue to use X are loudly demonstrating to everyone that they're lazy, have no ethics, and value brand engagement over having principles

i'm a journalist who took republicans at face value when they said we all need to lower the temperature because i am planning on writing a book that requires republicans to like me and have me on their podcasts

Insanity

Big news: I’m writing a book!! I’ll be writing & illustrating a beginner’s guide to appreciating wildlife in cities/suburbs, & how all of us can make our neighborhoods better for those animals. Thank you to my book agent @ericsmithrocks.bsky.social & the folks at Storey for believing in this book!

They are, but honestly it's a single 9,000+ line javascript if statement... so you should probably just start from scratch.

“Are the fae open source?” is such a terrifying question in so many ways.

The bigger thing here is—outside certain extremely narrow professional competency areas, you must train yourself not to get mad at people for not having read something. I fight the instinct all the time! But we all get one life, and there are too many books.

Political violence just got super acceptable to mainstream media again. Condition expected to last until the next time someone yells something mean at Juniorefferson Davis Vance

Any President who calls for the opposition party to be hanged should be immediately impeached and removed from office.

my too-hot-for-top-level take is that a big chunk of this stuff is down to reduced family size, because fewer kids means more pressure on each individual kid to be Normal

trying to start a moral panic and the stories are all like “the ADHD meds really helped but didn’t solve everything”

Case in point:

Cool, cool. Sorry I didn’t think to screen my own genetics before I was born, I guess? Totally planned on having five plus chronic health conditions. Not to mention living on a planet you’re letting billionaires wreck, and dodging rampant viruses. Do these folks realize how insane they sound?

In response to the changes, Dr. Frank Han, a pediatrician and cardiologist and scientific advisor to @accountabilityji.bsky.social, told me “The CDC has fully turned into the antivaccine personal mouthpiece of RFK Jr and can no longer be trusted.“

“Professors can’t even talk with famous sex criminals about how they can leverage their professional power to sexually exploit young protégées anymore” uh, good?

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

I feel like the unsaid part here is that everyone upset by this story is implicitly thinking that vehicular manslaughter by autonomous vehicles will go as unpunished as the ones caused by people. But that's not AV makers' fault!

Every reporter covering this story needs to make something very, very, explicitly clear: VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM.

This is true, in the sense that it is a web of very real scandals reactionaries will try to claim are fake through the power of repetitive bare assertion

"Paying the blackmailer makes you look like a cowardly mark—both to your audience & to the guy grabbing you by the wallet," writes @lizdye.bsky.social. "With courts announcing they won’t be part of the president's extortion racket, media outlets need to toughen up and quit paying the vig."

If you say "Trump is a threat to democracy" and vote like this, you simply don't believe what you say. The idea that swing state Dems would "need" to vote for this is also laughable. No one in your district is kept up at night by the idea that a crooked cop in DC won't get hired back.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws. Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired. They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

DC absolutely needs statehood so that the people who live there aren't ruled by goons they never elected. A genuine ongoing scandal and absolute betrayal of the principles of the country.

This is a Fox poll. WOW. Yeah, Trump is sinking. Watch how many MAGA rats try to jump ship and become economic populists in about 1 week. www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

Some of y'all reply to stuff with things I wouldn't say to people I actually knew well. I have to wonder - is it because you don't think of the person you're replying to as a full and real human? Is it just intense parasocial behavior? Or are y'all just that weird and rude always?

Artificial term limits = revolving door for purchased tools totally at the mercy of their staffs (which are also purchased by the same interests that bought the politician). There's a reason Republican donors love term limits. Overturning Citizens United is the much better option.

Eleventh Circuit throws out Trump's suit against CNN in a per curiam unpublished ruling. Meaning Trump's arguments were totally meritless, not even worthy of a published opinion. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Man, CBS must feel really stupid right now! Just kidding, CBS wasn't settling a lawsuit. They were paying a bribe and they knew it.

It’s never a bad time for this meme, but International Men’s Day might be the best time

CBS and the NYT are about to get *really* focused on talking about everything except who was committing sex crimes against children with Jefferey Epstein. President Trump responded to signing off on the release of the Epstein files the way anyone who is def innocent & not at all panicking would:

Because a Trump not under the thumb of Prince Mohammed would have blown through the character count with the number of times he ranted about a "jihad."

The fact that he called Mamdani a communist and tried to insinuate that he's posing as Black (because racists like Trump think Black Americans are given handouts for existing), but completely avoided spouting off something Islamophobic must mean he's terrified of ****ing up that Saudi money.

"Look, things happen. And what happens at Camp Crystal Lake should stay at Camp Crystal Lake. We can’t hold everyone accountable for every little thing they’ve ever done."

This represents approximately a third of the total value of the US stock market right now

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

zohran's gonna play him so hard lmao
