Ok. As promised, a thread about supply chain food safety vulnerabilities in the food industry. Buckle up. It's a long one.

gofund.me/1a2aa8bbc Help me extend my trip two weeks past the end of the school program, please.

DISBAND, INVESTIGATE, PROSECUTE.

Just me getting inked in a foreign country :)

The under 25s on IG are still going on about me being "cringe". They must be super bored. And boring.

Hello (again)! I've been off here for around 8 months, working on critical AI literacy. It became a book. Slow AI is about knowing when to use AI and when to leave it the hell alone. #1 bestseller in Education on Kindle. It's your for 99p / 99¢ www.amazon.com/dp/B0H89VT12T

The whole system of "checks and balances" they they crowed about to us in elementary school was never anything but a "gentleman's agreement", and there are no actual structures

🔴 Live at Trans Pride Brighton - a thread 🧵 It's a very busy environment all around with thousands of people here already, despite the protest not starting for at least another 15 minutes.

People are worried when I seemingly, excessively, complain, and, my dudes, it's the main package of Polish communication. Complaining and communicating might as well be the same word. I even have a peer reviewed paper to prove it. "I complain, therefore I am" in Journal of Pragmatics

Quick Tip: "Don't speak ill of the dead" means dont demean, or spread lies, or speak malicious untruth about dead people, who cant defend themselves Accurately describing someone's life and legacy is not "speaking ill" It's the truth - which is self justifying in that it is the truth!

Congresspeople missing more than 6 weeks of work should trigger mandatory video check ins. Missing more than 18 weeks should trigger a mandatory recall vote.

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

The GFM is still up while I'm in Seoul, and there's a non-zero change of me staying another 18 days, so if you're able to toss some in the pool, and share the link it would be really appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/heart-and-...

UNCONDITIONAL UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME FOR FUCKS SAKE.

My dream is a WPA-style program full of tech-literate young people helping investigate Trump 2.0 crimes and sharing it with the public

People all verklempt over Platner, and in the meantime some of us are waving "We told you so" flags. HORRIBLE PEOPLE DON'T STOP BEING HORRIBLE JUST BECAUSE THEY SLAP THE "DEM" LABEL ON. We don't want horrible people in office. Period.

Here's a thing I'm learning about 'AI' while im in Korea: The "west" is way behind on the concept and implementation, and the USA is fucking it up.

Dems are fine with throwing trans people under the bus. This is one of the MANY reasons we need ranked voting.

The man is credibly accused of being a rapist. He has a fucking neo-Nazi tattoo over a Nazi tattoo. If Platner is your idea of progressive, just call yourself a fucking National Socialist and be done with it.

The United States has only had full suffrage since 1965. After a recent Supreme Court decision effectively disenfranchised millions of Black voters across the American South, the country can no longer pretend it’s a democracy. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/millions-o...

For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.

This is how you answer these questions.

Every single lawmaker that’s calling for their constituents to “be responsible with electricity usage” during the extreme heat had better be supporting heavy restrictions on data centers.

Possibly if you thought the church needed you so badly you should not have spent the last 40 years screaming "You're not my REAL Pope" at the guys who were, in fact, your real Popes

This should piss us all off. With any other president, America’s 250th anniversary would belong to all of us. Instead, Trump made it political, divisive, and, most of all, made it about himself. Folks aren’t celebrating America because we’re exhausted from being forced to celebrate one man’s ego.

you've heard of 'bitches get riches', now enjoy: whiny babies get excommunicaties

This isn't a complicated thing. If you are living in the USA when you turn 16, you get a federally issued government ID and postal banking account. If you're a US citizen, it comes with voter registration.

Every person who wants to run for president in 2028 has to answer this qualifying question : Will you pardon Major Jason Watson on Day 1 of your term?

People keep acting like the fascists care about "crime." THEY DO NOT. They care about domination & fear. They will fearmonger re: "crimes" committed by out groups while cheering on the "crimes" committed by "their people" Meanwhile liberals keep bleating on about hypocrisy when hierarchy matters.

Seattle area Kpop peeps, if you're at all interested in KPDH night at the Mariner's game Sept 5th, drop a note here. I think it would be awesome if we could do a group ticket order, and get our nerdy selves on the scoreboard.

If you need to get in your car, some tips from a gig worker: Put a towel over your middle console or where you rest your elbow and also over your steering wheel. You can absolutely give yourself serious burns. Those windshield covers actually do work. A cheap one will do. Remember: you may have

Today was my 25th Anniversary. I spent it making the most UNGODLY noises at my computer screen while crashing out over 8 Korean men... while I packed to leave for Seoul on Wednesday. My wife thought it was *hilarious*. We both forgot to give our presents until midnight. DOH!

"A solar farm on a rewetted peatland is home to more types of bird than drained agricultural fields nearby, suggesting that land used for renewable energy can make money for landowners, lock away carbon and boost biodiversity at the same time."

WAH! I miss my @dapperandy.bsky.social WHERE YOU GOOOOOOO?!?

I can't stop destroying my cookbooks and also I don't really need full instructions, so I'm gonna be this extra and make myself reciepie reminders for my common recipes and also I can wash these off. 😂

TL:DR- because the US is being run by a incompetently malicious regime, the financial aid that was supposed to cover credits & some expenses for Sogang is not happening in a timely manner. If you can pitch in even $5-$10, it would really help. www.gofundme.com/f/heart-and-...

As you might have heard, I got accepted into a study abroad program in Seoul for a month. I leave NEXT WEDNESDAY. Now I find out there's a problem with my Financial Aid that impacts my ability to get CREDIT for the classes in Seoul.

Usenet. Then LiveJournal and IRC. Then G+. Now here and the Stayville corner of Threads.

The skies will open up and a cloud of locusts will descend.

Can I just say how surreal it is to see people talking about Cuteness Aggression? Because I was getting called Agressively Cute....what...25 years ago? At least? Oh, Callahans.

Obviously, this is great to see, but it isn’t a surprise. The fascists were able to go on their racist rampage not because their community broadly wanted it, but because a small minority called “police” allowed it.

Last Call for stuff from my shop before I close up until August! ko-fi.com/eleritmlh/shop

Also don’t invest in Space X… Per ig: @/your.richbff

Wealth hoarding is a crime against Humanity.

this picture is cracking me up. "Boy wizard, hmm? You gonna use that wand?"

idk what to tell you. The world sat by for decades as Israel did whatever it wanted to the people of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, & Gaza. It then sat by as, after the Oct 7 massacre, Israel chose not neither a proportional response nor peace, but, rather, genocide. So now they're doing it again.

🚨 BREAKING: Sources w/ Graduate Employees' Organization 3550 at @umich.edu have informed me that "This morning around 7am, the FBI executed arrest warrants at several locations across several states targeting pro-Palestine activism in southeast Michigan. The situation is evolving." @therealnews.com
