This cartoon by Ella Baron from the Guardian today actually made me well up a little. We will keep fighting. Together.

It’s going great.

The comparison I heard was data centers using the same amount of water as golf courses, and for that I was all, my brother in Christ, let me tell you what I think we should do with golf courses

Talking out of both sides of his neck. "Do the thing that harms marginalised people but without harming marginalised people". Absolute coward.

A lot of people on the internet are fighting over Helen of Troy right now, which seems pretty historically accurate to me.

I’ve been so busy I haven’t been promoting this as much as I should, but you should listen to the newest @whatchadoingpod.bsky.social, Tyler is amazing

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

The reporting on this Trump tweet has been more atrocious than most atrocious reporting on Trump's tweets. Effectively Trump is REVERSING a decision last week (possibly by Russian useful idiots at DOD) to cut 4,000 troops. He's offering Nawrocki's election almost a year ago as his excuse.

Game prep for this weekend. Incidentally, if you’re in Wooster this Saturday, come to Coffee and Capes and I’ll run you through Cairn! #ttrpg #cairn

The Capitol Crawl, the protest that marked the difference between public support for the ADA and apathy, was about visible discomfort. The discomfort of disabled people having to haul themselves out of wheelchairs and up burning hot steps for access, yes, but more specifically, viewers’.

Try to imagine a Republican Party with a dozen or so staunch abortion advocates. A dozen pro-choice Republicans wrecking every shot at eroding women's autonomy, ruining every anti-choice vote. Can't picture it, can you? Yet we have to accept this kind of Democratic Party, for some reason.

Doug Burgum my house is powered by solar and this screen shot was taken at 5:14 pm today. My system produced 47.9 kWh and I’ve used 7.4 kWh today. If you look down at the bottom my battery has enough energy to run my home for the next 18 hours. Solar is the way you lying moron.

The plot to enslave America. They declare it openly

the president loves stealing your money and giving it to pedophiles, folks. it’s like his favorite thing to do

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

“Uncle Conor, Uncle Conor! Put us in the box!” “Um… OK!”

Played hide and seek with my two year old niece. She couldn’t find me for a solid ten minutes, proving that experience will always beat youth.

Well, I don’t see any way for bad actors to exploit this.

A general reminder: you don't *have* to use Substack. While I get that it's easy and convenient, realize there are alternatives that (1) give you more control and (2) don't regularly fund and promote neo-Nazis.

Rhode Island district judge Mary Mcelroy has quashed the subpoena from the DOJ seeking to access the medical records of trans youth. She enjoined DOJ as well. She calls DOJ "untrustworthy" and DOJ misrepresented and withheld information from the court. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
