wow just woke up from a nap, i guess everyone else on Air Force One realized we aren't going to the right place

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

completely unironically, this is how we'll know

All of us waiting for updates from the tarmac…

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

Make Heaven Crowded is an insane title.

I think people should be honest with themselves that they would rather get more dopamine hits from bots than less dopamine hits from real people

If I got more engagement on X than Bluesky I'd take it as a sign that my brain was currently being eaten by maggots.

“Today, take a moment to remember all who have fallen in defense of the earth and its inhabitants. Remember those who perished in the struggle for liberation, fighting oppressors, conquest, and destruction Remember tortuguita, killed by GA police in Atlanta on 01/18/2023” @stopcopcity.bsky.social

We purposefully dismantled a robust national rail network and replaced it with forced car dependency. Seeing high-quality European sleeper cabins for €55 highlights the freedom we lost to decades of social engineering and auto industry subsidization.

Everything really is just gambling now.

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

i think it is simply true that for all intents and purposes stephen miller is the president of the united states

dudes rock

Been saying this. A reminder and a warning for those of us who work in—and love—television. From Ted Linhart:

"The argument is that tech companies (and their leaders) will become a class unto their own with infinite wealth. No one else will have the means to generate money for themselves because AI will have taken their jobs and opportunities."

For some reason, very few people these days will stand up and say it, but: the US federal bureaucracy is one of the great wonders of the world, staffed with incredibly diligent people who do their jobs well and care deeply. Trump's destruction of the federal apparaus was a historic crime.

Archaeologists: D.C. Capitol May Have Once Been Used For Legislating

secondary to the terrible content, gavin could be using his celebrity and influence to promote and elevate left wing media voices who are desperate for any kind of boost in visibility but instead hes doing whatever the fuck this is

if someone punches your neighbor and you go to protect them, that does not make you a protester. that makes you someone who protects your neighbor.

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.

FACE LIFT THE NATION

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

just a little more funding and police departments can finally afford the GOOD training where they teach you to value human life

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles's blistering sci-fi thriller BACURAU (2019) — an audacious, furiously entertaining model of genre art as a vehicle for political resistance.

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

"ICE Watch works because it surrounds men seeking approval w ppl loudly expressing their disapproval. The noise has the added benefit of drawing large crowds of bystanders who can quickly outnumber the ICE agents, who then have to decide if they want to escalate a situation or perhaps abandon" it.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

The richest men in the world all seem so fucking miserable. There should be a saying about that.

1. Crush the MAGA murderers, give them no quarter, and salt the cursed earth from whence they came. 2. Crush the MAGA murderers, give them no quarter, and salt the cursed earth from whence they came. 3. Crush the MAGA murderers, give them no quarter, and salt the cursed earth from whence they…

Funny how the Fourth Amendment keeps getting treated like a suggestion box.

Greetings! I’m here in West Hollywood, CA. A few dozen people are protesting outside of the Tesla Diner. It’s very loud, and there are very few at the diner. There’s security inside, and a few cruisers making rounds every few minutes.

it's actually frankenstain's monster

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

In solidarity with Minneapolis, I will abstain from working and shopping on January 23rd. ✊

Weird how, while still president, Trump didn’t invoke the Insurrection Act on January 6th—during an actual insurrection. Instead, he gave them all pardons and $50,000 signing bonuses.
