I didn't feel safe taking my six year old to this downtown march due to the size of the crowd but even the family-friendly sign making send-off event we attended had over a thousand people at it this morning. Chicago is showing out for this.

HAPPENING NOW — Thousands gathered in Chicago’s Grant Park for the “No Kings” rally before marching through the streets of downtown Chicago. Chicago joins cities across the country in today’s action condemning the President Donald Trump administration. 🎥: The TRiiBE

Okay witches and warlocks, psychics and demon summoners, it's time

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

It's frustrating reading all of these "political violence is never the answer" opinions. The second amendment is our country's explicit endorsement of political violence as a necessary tool Anyone who wants to say that political violence is NEVER the answer needs to also be advocating for repeal

I imagine that it gave Charlie Kirk great pleasure to die as a martyr to the god of death he worshipped. I wish instead he could have died another way: of old age, peacefully, in a country where all his work had come to nothing, and he himself completely forgotten.

I knew this.

@acollierastro.bsky.social I'm so sorry to put this in your brain but also it's the perfect mashup of your physics crackpot and and billionaire to physics pipeline videos that I laughed out loud when I saw it.

Having to explain a non-smoking sign to my 5 year old who had never actually seen a person smoke an actual cigarette.

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” James Baldwin

Cis guys, need one of you to spill the beans. When a woman posts something like "A third of men believe they'd be able to land a passenger plane in an emergency" how are you all notified to show up and prove her right? Is there a group chat or a discord where you get a link?

I absolutely love audiobooks. As a mom with a full time job I have almost no time in my day where my hands are free to hold a physical book, but I can indulge my hyperlexia anyway with audiobooks. Amazing But holy shit are AI narrators absolutely destroying my ability to listen. HIRE REAL PEOPLE

Nobody wants to work anymore.

My 5 year old is currently enamored by the story of the Capital Crawl and how disabled activists forced Congress and the media to take notice and take action to pass the ADA. I don't know how I tell her that today they'd all just be arrested, likely beaten and tear gassed, and the media would shrug

Sigh. Next week he's gonna try to buy The Netherlands isn't he

Honestly, I love them continuing to label incredibly appealing, working class, CHIlD supporting policies as "socialism" Theres a nonzero number of young mothers out there weeping with relief that they might get help with childcare costs in NYC and now theyre associating that with socialism GOOD

Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

Thinking of this @propublica.org reporting today about stillbirths of unvaccinated parents during the Delta wave, before CDC had explicitly recommended COVID vaccines for pregnant people and the damage the virus did to the placentas. www.propublica.org/article/covi...

Trump and RFK Jr. say today's kids are "the sickest generation in American history." Is that just a feeling? Here are some facts: About 46% of children born in the U.S. in 1800 did not live to see their 5th birthday. In 1900, the figure was 24%. Now it's under 1%.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

No better sign of a good lawyer than when they decide to publicly confess to lots of crime, in writing, publicly. Unprompted.

We live in baffling times, where miracles like this are possible thanks to how amazing our medical scientific community is... ... while at the same time people have decided that sunscreen is poison and vaccination is evil. We have invented magic and then decided to burn all the witches.

Well this certainly explains why so many of the VIPs I email with clear, direct questions are sending back incoherent garbage replies. I assumed they were just constantly doing large amounts of drugs

Honestly, it's criminal that every single Sunday isn't mother's Day because this shit is what I deserve

So this is exactly what I mean. Not trying to dump on this specific person, but the idea that “bread” 100 years ago was pristine wheat and yeast is just not true.

In the U.S. in 1825, *452* out of 1000 children born died before their 5th birthday. By 1925, that number was 135 out of a 1000 children. Today, in 2025, that number is *7* And it is entirely due to advances in medicine, public health, and technology. 9/

I want one of these so bad but I can't justify a car we can't transport the kids in 😭😭. Maybe when they're finally old enough for the front seat I will get to treat myself.

The fundamental tenet upon which the entire crypto grift is founded is that it's a brilliantly complex system that can be truly anonymous and untraceable, simply because almost none of the users actually want to believe otherwise. If you don't believe the magic, you must just not *understand* it.

All that bootlegger money spent trying to climb the social ladder out of Irishness only to end up with a guy whose head is made of corned beef

my plan to get people to start having more kids? make climate change worse. abolish the department of education. also milk is poison

Editor creates an AI executive who is "an expert at building and scaling digital media companies." Decides within minutes that the AI is "one of the most knowledgeable and energetic colleagues" he's ever had. Asks the AI to create a headshot of itself. It does. He sexually harasses it immediately.

He is gonna accidentally kill the pope or set fire to the sistine chapel or something

It's time to add "If you give a mouse a cookie" to the bar exam I think.

If the people Elon Musk pays to name search for him see this, let him know I've just had an amazing idea for him. When he re-glues all of the body panels during this recall, he should use glue that melts when the car catches fire so people stop dying every time from being trapped inside.

This has been coming since the argument that covid "isn't that bad" because the death rate was "so low" Because the death rate of a lot of diseases is quite low. They just leave you with lifelong disabilities instead. And we are so, so good at ignoring the disabled.

As kids get sicker, media ignores scientific papers pointing to immune damage after COVID. Instead, parents are urged to “watch out” for unusual waves of RSV, flu, pneumonia, & more, while masks, clean air and the pandemic are pointedly never mentioned. www.thegauntlet.news/p/kids-keep-...

My latest piece for @teenvogue.com delves into the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A. Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it had been tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia, without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.

do not fuck with gamers we will cry if any female character is not a big tiddy anime girl, or if a character is black or gay we do not give up crying we do not stop crying we are the terminators of crying

I always find it odd when men try to bully me online like, sir, I grew up as a freakishly tall autistic woman under 1990s era heroin chic beauty standards. I have faced *preteen girls* You have no weapons that can harm me here.
