This is much, much more significant than the Comey indictment but has gotten like 0.1% of the media coverage

Pastor Blair Stowe asserts and defends her position that Charlie Kirk was a satanic presence. "I believe in ... non-violence. So I will not celebrate that ... a father and a son and a husband [was unalived]. But ... I will not actively mourn either." Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DOe33MS...

🚨 BREAKING: James Comey posts a video statement following his indictment "My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump...But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either...And I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith."

Robert Redford, 89. Built Sundance to protect art from the machine, fought for the land against extraction. His death is a reminder: without new systems, independent voices vanish. The torch is ours now.

"My voice is my passport. Verify me." Sneakers (1992) staring Robert Redford was one of those "sparks," igniting my interest in programming. I spent weeks trying to replicate the voice phrase unlocking on my Mac after seeing it in the movie. RIP Robert Redford- you'll be missed.

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people. Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it. We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

BREAKING: Nepal is going through a violent revolution right now as the Parliament, Supreme Court, police stations, and houses of politicians have been set on fire by Gen-Z. The Prime Minister and Home Minister have resigned in succession in the last 24-ish hours. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

@governorferguson.bsky.social @doh.wa.gov ahem. ...please?

Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.

This has been criminally under viewed since she posted it six days ago, so here's a little signal boost for MALINDA's incredible performance of 'She Used to be Mine' from Waitress: the musical -- youtu.be/vxCK3sKjvKY #music #art

The pandemic isn't over just because our politicians and business leaders want it to be. Here's the current COVID wastewater map. I've been seeing more people post about catching it again lately, and we're unlikely to get access to a new mRNA vaccine this year. So protect yourself and be cautious.

Repeat after me: We will not be distracted. This is still just him trying to deflect #Epstein. Stay on target.

Seeing an awful lot of people sick with Covid right now. Many saying “Covid is back”. It never left. That’s why some of us are still advocating for mitigations. Every infection is a dice roll with disability. Wear a mask. Clean the air. Stay home when sick.

Promising start, and then...

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

New @nature.com The possibility that lithium deficiency is a driver of Alzheimer's disease. Experimental model shows Li depletion impedes amyloid clearance, and repletion in humans could be achieved with low doses nature.com/articles/s41...

RFK Jr. just killed $500 million in vaccine funding - 22 projects, including COVID, flu, and bird flu. No replacement, no science, no plan. Just ideology. This isn’t reform. It’s sabotage. And people will die for it.

Cute they think most people will even be able to access COVID vaccines this year. Thanks to RFK filling the CDC's ACIP with skeptics & pseudoscientists, & now cutting off external liaison members, most of us CAN'T get vaccinated. www.cnn.com/2025/08/01/h... www.healthline.com/health-news/...

I wanted to share a few thoughts recent discussions around CGE’s decision to partner with JKR for their upcoming @codenamesgame.bsky.social game have prompted. Thankful to those who spoke early to this issue (Marceline, Tiffany, @nopunincluded.com et al) for helping this get the needed attention.

Exactly. Let's call it what it is. A commerce tax.

I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

SPOILER: YES

Is NOBODY going to call DoJ's Todd Blanche "questioning" Ghislaine Maxwell what it actually is - WITNESS TAMPERING? Really, not one person?

Please support the 3 day farm labor strike by buying as little as possible 7/16 thru 7/18. The strike demands an end to ICE raids and cruel detainment and deportations, as well as provide a pathway to citizenship for undocumented migrants. #StrikeForDignity www.visaverge.com/news/farmwor...

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social FYI, given your prior cabinet role.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

We live in a nation where I am now sending out alerts about what the U.S. attorney general is doing in our name. It’s a lot to sit with. It’s going to get a lot darker before it starts getting lighter, but I will keep doing what I do. And, it will get lighter again.

In the spirit of yesterday's post about good AAA games currently on sale on Steam for $5 or less, here's a look at 10 great (but not obvious) indie or digital releases you can get for a low, low price right now! This list is by no means exhaustive. Feel free to add your own! (A thread)

Most people are too financially unstable to risk striking without union representation. The job market is already bad and only going to get much worse. For the vast majority, to strike is to risk access to the basics needed to survive, and they know that. Suppression is 100% why they union bust.

As the comments say, it should extend to SCOTUS too. But, and perhaps of paramount importance, its mandate must include specific legislation recommendations to be included in a presidential powers reform bill. This must never be possible again.

Whoa, actual progress in fusion energy.

Video game makers have the sad distinction of the complexities of tech work(many are tech workers) with the pay and work load of art workers. Followed by the boom and bust cycle of the movie industry while none of the protection of movie industry unions.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Dachau in July 1933... reported in the New York Times timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine...

ICYMI: “Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social has filed a bill to ban law enforcement officers in Tennessee, including ICE, from wearing masks while making arrests (and ID themselves) — the “Stop American Gestapo Act” www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

As we’ve reported before, ICE facilities are rife with human rights violations. Now, the Department of Homeland Security is trying to hide them, formally requiring members of Congress and their staff to give seven days’ notice before visiting immigration detention centers.

When people need help to "leave the movement," it's a cult.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani, moments ago, talking about how he’s going to fix NYC. This guy sounds presidential.
