Mark Kelly here, reaching out one more time to test how many fake spam numbers you will allow me to text you from before you decide to block an American space hero

Very much this. I think there is a particular culture of upper middle class carpet bagging in high profile jobs that explicitly rejects local vernacular knowledge as having any value - you see it a lot in journalism but also roles like school superintendents and nonprofit ED's.

BERNIE WAGENBLAST, THE VOICE OF THE NYC SUBWAY, IS AT THE NOSTALGIA TRAIN AND SHE IS THE BEST CELEBRITY I HAVE EVER SPOTTED! SHE SAID TO STAND CLEAR OF THE CLOSING DOORS!

it’s true, that’s a guy who has a favorite Strongbad bit, you just never hear him do it during the movie due to the circumstances

This is wage repression by the government. If you can't recruit, raise your wages lads.

Anne Boyer's "What Resembles The Grave But Isn't" is tattooed across my soul. "This is not your grave, get out of this hole." billmoyers.com/story/poetry...

Until one of these guys faces serious prison time they’re going to keep leaning into their atrocities and asking with a smirk if we’re triggered

Amnesty International released findings from its investigation into the Everglades Concentration Camp (Alligator Alcatraz), which was built by the Florida Division of Emergency Management. They found evidence of torture, among other human rights violations. www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.” www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... @gbhnews.bsky.social

DAVE DOMBROWSKI, ON THE PHONE OUTSIDE A RESTAURANT: Yeah. Okay. Fine. So is the blood back inside him

And you know he won’t even get a normal blood-borne infection from this. He’s gonna be on the IL with fuckin parvovirus or Chagas disease or some shit.

I can't bear this, man. I can't bear it. What have we done

So they watched and waited—for nearly an hour—to see if the people they shipwrecked would drown. And ordered the second strike once it seemed like they might be able to survive.

DOJ's newest recruitment ad features Judge Dredd, the comic satire about the dangers of lawless policing and authoritarian power

Yeah I like waymo. Waymo public transit, bike lanes and benches!

Gov Hochul should VETO the bill that carves out Co-op City from bus lane enforcement. It slows buses and worsens pollution. The state Legislature should not be getting involved in local transit decisions. buff.ly/01VdEUW

What a lede on this story: Man who complained about narrowing a road in order to protect pedestrians, so much that the city eventually reversed the change, then kills a woman on that very road with his car www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...

Inshallah they live to regret these new maps in a D+14 midterm

Here's the important thing: mandatory online age verification is a major threat, but it's not a done deal. We saw major disagreement in Congress during the House hearing yesterday, and there is rising opposition to these misguided policies. We need to get louder. www.teenvogue.com/story/some-d...

A lot of suicide attempts, especially among young people, are impulsive, which means that throwing up even temporary obstacles can save lives. It's not true that everyone who gets advice on how to kill themselves from an LLM would have figured it out anyway. These tools are causing avoidable deaths.

In addition, the whole reason why the ACA is set up as ADVANCE tax credits is because if you could afford to wait over a year to get the financial help you probably wouldn’t need the assistance in the first place.

Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

cleansing fire of a thousand primaries

We may have listeners who are not lesbians but I have never seen any evidence of this

My stretch of Mass Ave is pockmarked with gas stations, muffler shops, tire shops, and vacant Paul Toner properties. We need more people, we need more stuff, we need more neighborhood. Bathe me in your shadows, developers!

Here’s Judith Butler explaining what this movement is and always was, about five years ago.

My sister-in-law got me a ramen advent calendar!! Which is very exciting but I could not figure out how tf to get it home on the train! And then while I was taking a shower, my mom individually wrapped some of them so I could take them home without getting spoiled!!

Does anyone have suggestions for SF & F in which the main character is a full time wheelchair user? Literally asking this for a friend who uses a chair and wants to see themselves in a book.

Mike Lawler and Nicole Malliotakis We are not just coming for you. We are HERE.

Sources close to the president's family say that Maduro will be forgiven and left in power if he, like Hernández before him, can produce 400 tons of cocaine.

We're going to make Republicans have to fight for everything. They are incredibly, deeply unpopular. Democrats need to cash in on this, but that also means we need to really pay attention to primaries. We want useful Democrats winning.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

As @malaclypse.bsky.social points out in the replies "pedestrian crash" is bullshit, I am a frequent pedestrian and I have never crashed into a car, I promise you.

Let me get this straight: we trained this guy to be an elite killer, abandoned his country to the Taliban, isolated him, arbitrarily banned him from working and so left his family unsupported. I don’t know if there’s any more efficient way of producing a mental health crisis outside of torture.

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

He should pay more in taxes. The government should not be funding only what can secure the sympathies of erratic rich people.

NEW: For years, NYC Starbucks workers have claimed that the company has arbitrarily cut their hours, denying them stable schedules. In a historic settlement announced today, Starbucks has to pay out $35 million to 15,000 workers. This is the power of labor laws.

Coming out of my cage And I'm doing not great I was just in a cage (I was just in a cage)

This year's Giving Tuesday theme is "Pay for Things Our Government Refuses to Fund"

I can't wait for the Atlantic to talk about how those who don't need to work a job to pay for college are essentially getting extra time compared to those who do. As someone who was among the former, I admit an extra 20 hrs/week to do the readings seems a bit more uneven than 30 minutes for a test
