I am reading an unreleased @tkingfisher.com and the only reason I am not all caps yelling at her is that I knew about the horrors. Except the uh. The werkblight cure. What the HELL, Ursula.

BREAKING: Justice Jackson puts order forcing Trump to fully fund SNAP benefits on hold to give the appeals court time to rule on the stay pending appeal @courthousenews.bsky.social

Yes, some people's legacies are complicated. For example, Watson. After all, though he was racist, don't forget his other traits. For example, he was also sexist. And also anti-semitic. And a data / idea thief. So let's not forget all the different facets.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

1/ Seattle! 2000 ballots need signatures (updates or didn't sign)!! Tell your friends to check their ballot status here: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/... And if you have time between now & Nov. 14, volunteer to help cure votes: linktr.ee/Wilsonforsea... ("Ballot Chasing for Katie Wilson")

"What happened to the old New York, where creepy freaks could make an honest living running manosphere blogs that advertise virility pills in between slightly racist hot takes on sports?"

Must-read from Alexis Coe at Rolling Stone. "They are flown out by helicopter while their constituents die waiting for treatment. Every republic leaves a record of what it chose to save first. Ours saved the politicians." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Headline doesn't mention that the threats came after she confronted him about sending her dick pics Renner is a disease

BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to temporarily suspend SNAP funding for November. @jenpsaki.msnbc.com reports on "The Briefing."

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

It's beautiful

gonna leave myself open for wedgies and wet willies here and ask a historical nerd question: why in the name of fucking god would you make a series about james a. garfield and charles guiteau and skip over guiteau's trial completely?!

Jesus fucking christ this is so evil. Thinking about that Graeber quote about how in the 70's the US legalized interest rates previously only seen from organized crime Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

consumer spending sentiment is at the lowest since both 2008 and 2020. did something bad happen in both those periods

what do we call a government with a permanently suspended or frozen parliament that is currently being ruled by decree through a singular executive and his unelected court

1. After reporting on Washington State University's approval of continuing medical education credits for anti-trans SPLC-designated hate group SEGM, WSU has suspended the courses. Now, hundreds of emails and dozens of orgs say they need to make it permanent. Subscribe to support our journalism.

all the way to the supreme court so they can starve kids these fucking people

A distraught man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

So with stun-sail piled on stun-sail, we sailed along, driving these leviathans before us

In the last 3 days, the Supreme Court ruled trans people have (again!) lost access to valid passports, a federal district court legalized bullying against (only!) trans kids, and Cornell University joined the growing number of colleges agreeing to discriminate/ban trans people. When is it enough??

😈😈😈

is that a lot

Excuse me, what the fuck?

the only "honor" Watson's getting from me is that i've built a lab full of outstanding students who are everything he hated: Black, Indigenous, female, trans, queer, neurodivergent, disabled, immigrant, and beyond. he might be what the past of our field looks like- but the future looks like my lab.

In case anyone is wondering if Watson was really THAT bad, @lpachter.bsky.social compiled a list of quotes that are absolutely not for the faint of heart. liorpachter.wordpress.com/2018/05/18/j...

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

LRT: for real, do not let people ignore the context of that. It's Lynch as the character of Agent Cole giving his response to transphobia among agents with regards to the trans woman who is now the FBI chief of staff. It's a great quote! But it's deliberately about not being a transphobic POS.

There's a shit ton of misogyny in law school, don't get me wrong. I had a professor say that there was no sexual harassment in the legal profession, in front of the class (and that's mild compared to the shit I heard about trans people) But against conservative women FOR being conservative? Lol.

Lol this is such bullshit. I went to law school and the federalist society was the single loudest group in the school and 75% of the membership were blonde white girls

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

Look at me remembering to shave before Shabbat

This isn’t AI this is automated sexual harassment

I finished reading the @kateelliottsff.bsky.social duology The Witch Roads / The Nameless Land, and if you've been sleeping on those books, put them on your TBR immediately. SO. GOOD.

One thing that kind of got missed in that oval office health announcement debacle yesterday is that they were saying they were decreasing the cost of ozempic so Americans could lose weight and be healthier and then the guy from ozempic turned grey and collapsed

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Somewhere a Walton is opening a crypt and intoning the darkest of spells. A monster is stirring under a Piggly Wiggly. It is hungry and focused on revenge. Albertson's has unleashed mercenaries from a hellish place. And Whole Foods is sending a special package

Again I just know the major grocery chains sent the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to go upside everyone's head.

By passing off Rosalind Franklin’s work as his own and taking the credit for the intellectual output of her labour, in many ways Watson was one of the pioneers of AI. In this thread I will… 🧵

No. Not in any universe. The market value of anything is what a reasonable buyer will pay and a reasonable seller will accept. Commerce is supposed to be about negotiation and bargaining.* The government has the ability to legislate, regulate, and print money. It’s the ultimate unfair competitor.

I hope this man spends his life after the governorship unable to find a freeway overpass to sleep under

virtue signalling is good actually

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

this guy fucking sucked and rosalind franklin should have gotten all of the credit he did good riddance

Yeah fuck all us way too online trans people who would also like Dems to make "not destroying more of our civil rights" a demand, how fucking date we set up such a ridiculous purity test as asking that we have continued access to life saving health care.

Hey Virginia peeps, Michael reached out to me for a conversation (he’s running for office there) and I think he’s worth taking a look at - he’s running against a 75 year old incumbent Dem and wants to shake things up. Here’s some info if you’re so inclined. www.duffin4va.com

10/10 take. No notes.

Shabbos coming in at 4:30 feels low-key antisemitic
