I remember when non-binding language suggestions from university HR departments were national news, subject to repeated outraged columns in multiple media outlets. Do you see any of that national outrage about this real, bona fide, state-enforced intimidation & censorship?

Hey fun fact, nobody forced you to buy a professional basketball team.

But....vote blue no matter who?

The a/c discourse is exhausting. I'm certainly going to keep using my a/c during significant heat events because I would like to continue existing, and I don't handle heat very well for health reasons.

SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is truly demented. Bravo group.softbank/media/Projec...

No matter how many people are talking about this, it is not enough people talking about this.

my ideology

I know this is a big ask but hear me out. what if they tried: having a set of beliefs informed by a thoughtful moral framework. and then they just stuck to them.

I am so incredibly proud of our team at @ojrcenter.bsky.social and our co-counsel Sugerman Dahab. And, grateful to all of the plaintiffs who stood up for their rights and dignity. www.opb.org/article/2026...

A double earthquake in Venezuela. A humanitarian catastrophe is underway. When I was at USAID BHA, there would be wheels in motion to consider USAR and other critical support. What will happen now?

It's weird the way the Democratic alleged leadership (Jeffries too) think that the party is a club with rules rather than something the voters choose. It's....undemocratic. But also didn't the voters choose these people because of their policies, not just because of Mandani?

Get in losers, we’re goin’ whale exploding!

Please try to stop being the party that all the Democrats hate.

went down to the centrist convention. they’re all shaking and crying, I heard one guy say “I’m starting to think a better world IS possible.” the lady next to him slapped him in the face

i won't live long enough to read everything i want to read that was actually written by people, who have thoughts, feelings, and experiences that i care about. there is far too much great human writing to waste time reading bot-slop.

Wow. Prairieland defendants being handed sentences between 40 and 100 years. For background on this case: www.ms.now/news/antifa-...

The silly little ritual of Supreme Court opinion days is a perfect illustration of the justices’ self-absorption. “We’re gonna decide cases but it’s a SURPRISE which ones, so just keep refreshing this browser tab to find out who still has civil rights!” Profoundly stupid institution. I loathe it.

"based on the best available data, the model reached a sobering estimate: The shift toward vehicles with higher hoods caused about 3,000 deaths from 2016 to 2024. The estimate is conservative in many ways." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The amount of need for mutual aid just on bluesky (in # of people & in $$ value) is kind of overwhelming, and it'll probably only get worse considering how bad things are. Being an asshole about it isn't helpful, but it does seem unsustainable as a way to support this many people in need.

RE: the limitations of mutual aid. Being part of a mutual aid group with a more defined target population, we run into the limitations all the time. The need *always* exceeds the funds. People fall on hard times and we cannot keep them afloat. One of our friends had a stroke a while back.

This was a solved problem 25 years ago! Put some goggles on your biggest titted friend and take a black and white photo of her in a construction site for gods sake. When did everybody become helpless

Looks like the tape renders properly. I don't know if you know this, but Lain on VHS is actually color graded differently than the HD version. Not only are the colors completely different, but for whatever reason they redid all the Digital effects. This makes the show look entirely different on tape

its fathers day and the solstice so if you are not happy with your dad i think the sun is your dad now

if your dad sucks let me—an actual dad—use father's day to tell you what I think every child deserves to hear from their parents: I'm proud of you, and so glad you're figuring out how to survive this messy world. The world is better with you in it. This is extra true if you're trans.

Mona Khalil, one of Lebanon's leading conservationists has died following an Israeli attack on her home, she had dedicated her life to protecting the country's turtles www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

If I get one more spam text about the fucking obama library, I'm going to lose my mind.

Scooby Doo is Giallo

well THAT'S a first this gizmodo page has a "captcha" that's actually malware aimed at mac users!

Please stop putting blood and soil propaganda on everyone’s TL

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

I feel like I have to make sure I never buy raybans again to avoid the risk of someone thinking I'm wearing a fucking panopticon. I like chunky plastic frames, so have ended up with them a few times (including my current frames), but I will intentionally avoid them going forward.

EXACTLY. I’ve said this a million times but I and the rest of the Broadview 6 are still picking up the pieces of our lives emotionally and financially. This is incredibly stressful in every way possible, and there is no guarantee for a just outcome.

in light of today’s indictments please remember that no level of security can actually protect what you say and do on your phone. and please. please. don’t make shit easier for these buffoons by posting on social media anything you don’t want a federal attorney to show in a press conference.

this is a catastrophe and he will do harm, and only harm, to those living with disabilities

If somebody’s trying to tell you some other app is a more secure alternative to Signal, they are ignorant, malicious, or trying to sell you something and you should not take them seriously. Every other app is going to have the same human problems and worse security. Ask every reputable cryptographer

So you can just do that

I think perhaps the most important thing to teach neurodivergent kids might be the fact that some people will lie and be cruel to gain advantage or just for fun, and how to both not get taken in by that and also keep themselves and be open in spite of it.

“Disabled people are the real hackers of society. And that to me is, I think, a form of activism as well. It’s a way of being, to carve out, negotiate, and navigate through this world.” In honor of Alice Wong: www.solidarityis.org/syllabus/solidarity-syllabus-honoring-alice-wong

OH: If he gets struck by lightning, I'm willing to come back to the table on the whole "god" thing.

I’m coming out of my grave and I’ve been doing just fine

let—and i cannot emphasize this enough—them fight

Wait, em-dashes are now seen as an AI thing? I was using them before AI was a glimmer in Satan's eye and I'm not stopping now. I love them; they can represent a shift in tone, a raised eyebrow, a leaning-forward, a tiny jolt of midsentence caffeine. It was all I could do not to use one in this post.

These. Are. The. Rules.

The death of a woman from Haiti seeking asylum in the U.S. who died from hypothermia days after her release from federal custody was ruled a homicide by a Pennsylvania county medical examiner's office.
