I find it very strange to think about lost civilizations where people just had quite a chill time for generations and generations across millennia, living lives as if their world was eternal.

This will *not* be announced on X

any democratic politician saying other democrats are talking about “pronouns” too much is laundering republican bigotry and lying to you to try and appear more moderate than democrats at large

oh no communication with competence????? from a mayor?????? this cannot be allowed.

Suno is a data scraping, poop spewing, theft ring. It's literally illegal to make money by selling stolen goods. Unless you're a techfuck in which case here have a billion dollars, genius. Thanks to the pugnacious music nerds at The Trichordist for some real talk.

woke just been hiding out in the garage doing pushups this whole fuckin time so

I'm asking you politely: Please don't litter on the internet? AI generated art and music smells.

And the beauty of that is it is exactly how jobs are created/maintained. Customers are why businesses hire more and how they give raises. That’s why the whole “job creators” myth about billionaires is crap. They don’t create jobs just to be nice, or just because they an extra billion lying around.

Will Rogers said essentially the same thing during The Great Depression: www.azquotes.com/quote/1057276

just an an addendum to this, last storm he offered $19/hour with a possible increase to $28/hour after a certain amount of time worked, but i imagine that number wasn’t attractive enough so this time he was just like, $30 for everyone. adaptability!

Incredible font matching here

was it a bad idea to put a weirdo grifting podcaster in charge of the federal bureau of investigation, who can really say

1. Walker goes blind but uses his special Native American powers to become Daredevil 2. Walker goes undercover as a HS principal and turns the school around in 43 minutes 3. Two episodes where he fights grizzly bears and wins 4. Walker goes undercover as a Mexican 5. This youtu.be/8n_P71mkuVI?...

ICE abducted a father of a six-year-old who is undergoing cancer treatment in a suburb outside Pittsburgh on Sunday and took him to a detention center in West Virginia. The cruelty is boundless.

this is an absolutely astonishing feat of independent journalism, top to bottom, and proves that the only way to truly fight billionaires is not being funded by them. just…read the whole thing.

A good start.

Your regular reminder that Gavin Newsom can only ever be, at best, a temporary ally of convenience. At heart he is what he has always been: A corruptass piece of feces sporting a $1400 haircut.

Wurman is completely unserious. The idea that the Clean Air Act and Higher Education Act delegations were "cryptic" and the IEEPA was "much clearer" in giving Trump unfettered global tariff control is utter nonsense. Even the dissenters in Learning Resources didn't take that view.

1. This obviously should never have been pursued in the first place and everybody who signed off on it should never hold any kind of state power again 2. This is a good thing and again shows that they cannot actually do whatever they want

oh christ

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

Does this mean I don't need to get a colonoscopy this year?

Only if he Budd Dwyer's it.

Get in line.

A good start.

With the State of the Union fast approaching, Republicans have embarked on a public relations campaign to normalize Trump’s behavior and manage expectations

legiscan.com/NJ/bill/A444... The FUCK ICE Act. I love it.

A significant number of Americans think that being racist should be free speech but calling someone racist should not be.

Charlie Kirk repeatedly pushed the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory and regularly made racist comments in his public statements. If we can't call someone so explicitly racist "a racist" without getting fired, who else is off limits? Donald Trump? Nick Fuentes? David Duke?

Feels lazy to keep reposting this but apparently it's still relevant

Your periodic reminder that markets don’t want to build the things the Trump administration is pushing. That’s a good thing for the planet. And someday, we will again have a WH who isn’t afraid of competitive markets.

Absolute shocker of a rights grab - academics may want to push back hard

Old Man Yells At Math

The last time I saw nominal adults being such incoherent whiny bitches about the Supreme Court was at every Federalist Society meeting ever

The virus killed my uncle in just four days during the initial wave. He died alone in the ICU on a ventilator because nobody was allowed in the room. These trolls want to make a “comedy” out of it.

The way right wingers have internalized the fantasy that they are a powerless minority with the deck stacked against them when they control all three branches of government is quite something:

If you've never seen this film, I highly recommend it. Live action Dr. Seuss musical, filmed in a way-ahead-of-its-time colour process. It's almost certainly the trippiest movie I've ever seen.

Cool thread that explains this! 👇

If you think public spaces can be hostile for women now, wait until every man can use their Meta facial recognition glasses to identify any woman they see, slide instantly into their DMs, and then get mad when they don't instantly and positively respond. Burn this company to the ground.

Grapefruit. They taste horrible, and you will never convince me that anyone who enjoys consuming them is not a masochist who enjoys making themself suffer.

Agree with Jonn on this - it is a monumentally stupid strategy which will only enrage those who find the Greens appealing, most likely increasing losses and making it harder to win back those who have switched.

A fair point, I hadn't looked at it that way, but Charlie's not wrong about that aspect of AI.

“Mr. Patel…has shown little willingness to curb or even conceal his jet-setting”

I block any account I can immediately identify as a bot, or otherwise identify as an account I'm never likely to have a useful/happy interaction with. It makes the bsky experience infinitely better for me.

Indeed. I mean, famously, xians and muslims are just heterodox branches of Judaism, and the amount of killing-each-other these three branches have done over the past 1500 years is pretty resounding evidence that we don't agree with each other about a lot of shit.

Concur. I grew up in New England, and snowing is something I really miss, living in California. The problem was AFTER the snowing. That is, I love it while it's actually snowing, but I don't at all miss the brown slush it turns into within 48hrs or so.

I cant believe we’re having some sort of the same discourse again lmao All I gotta add is i have never received rape threats via DM request in response to my reporting going viral on Bluesky, which is, I think, a pretty decent bar for which social media site is worth engaging with
