This is real talk. Community support and mutual aid networks broke down once we started buying into all that “rise and grind,” nuclear family, rugged individual mess. Multigenerational households and tightly-knit communities were how we survived. It’s how we’ll survive again.

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7

Good morning

The Hyperloop bullsh!t is what made me actively dislike Musk

I truly wish more people would read science fiction and not just watch big-budget adaptations. SF authors have thought about the ethics of the creator vs. the (technological) creation / created ever since Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein. Knowing humans, perhaps long before then.

Importantly they are planning to hire these people on 2 year contracts so what actually happened is they fired everyone so they could rehire them with worse working conditions and an easy revolving door with industry 🫩 🔭

On a scale of swimming in sewage, eating rotten whale or bear meat, or snorting cocaine off a toilet, how safe is Dunkin coffee and is there science to back it up?

In NY, to get on the ballot candidates need this many valid signatures from people who are both 1️⃣ in the same district and 2️⃣ registered to vote with the same party affiliation: • 1,250 for Congress • 1,000 for NYS Senate • 500 for NYS Assembly Help our primary challengers. See a petition? Sign it.

Mamdani picked up the Black voters and kept his coalition by: * Getting name recognition among Black voters. * Getting young Black voters to the polls. He didn't change his message up. He didn't need to. 67% of young Black voters like Democratic socialism. They just don't like Bernie Bro racism.

I spoke with two ICE watchers who lost their Global Entry after brushes with federal agents. Now an internal memo shows Customs and Border Protection is evaluating cases where people's Global Entry could be revoked based on "encounters" with its officers. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-wa...

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

The airline and tourism industries scrambled to deal with fallout from the escalating US-Israeli air war against Iran, while governments rushed to bring stranded travelers home from the Middle East following the cancellation of more than 20,000 flights reut.rs/4ubETgA

Just unfollow. Just mute. Just block if the situation calls for it. The extra drama is unnecessary.

Good morning

It also highlights the downsides of all these much-hyped tax-free libertarian techbro magic cities for the elite that lie outside the state while you let the rest of the world fall into squalor and misery; your gold plated luxury penthouse condo can be destroyed by a cheap drone at any time.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

tomorrow is with one of the biggest election days of the year. there's so much to go over it's hard to know where to start. so, let me help: here are the *10* elections i'm watching the most closely, *at the state and local level* (=no federal elections included!) 🧵:

Ao3 down again

Hot dayum! Some GOOD news on this Monday!

Good morning

A blast from the past

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

February is too short. What do you mean I've got to pay rent again?

Someone felt my pain youtu.be/z9Mt9PcoPrM?...

Okay, getting off SM and going back to reading fanfiction

I know it is easy to doomscroll, especially today. Please plan for yourself at least one or many more offline activities. Buy a pastry, read a book, go to a museum, see a friend, cook a meal, play with a pet, or even a trip to Costco. Try to limit time on your phone and avoid stewing in anxiety.

What is the real goal? What does the Epstein class get our of this besides a huge distraction?

I hate this

This is what I woke up to?

Calling all adults- Boost yourselves and your elderly parents and vaccinate your kids.

The one solace I take: Every company that has bought Warners was CRIPPLED by that purchase. Paramount will be no different.

These people stole all our money and its sitting in overseas bank accounts

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Lenacapavir for PrEP was the big "star" of #CROI2026 after showing almost 100% effectiveness in preventing HIV in 2 large RCTs. Unfortunately at a pricing point of 28000$ a year it remains inaccessible to most. A drug is only as great as the number of people who can access and benefit from it.

The streamers aren't built for commercials and so they handle them poorly.

I was honestly shocked as a med student in NJ to hear an attending in Montclair say he would put a PBA card on his dash to get out of speeding tickets when pulled over. It's a level of corruption I had never been exposed to growing up in Michigan.

The PBA *routinely* shakes down small businesses so that they have to buy "we paid our bribes" cards to put up in the front of their restaurants, and nobody even blinks an eye about it. They let cops sell "get out of tickets free" cards in plain sight. The corruption is unbelievable.

The needle drop of Chaka Khan's I Feel For You is freaking awesome #WonderMan
