Again, the normal response to the ads would be we have no intention of issuing illegal orders.

It is also notable that so much of right-wing media being a grift with transnational participants and funding posing as Americans ought to tell us the presence, volume, and claims, etc of right wing media (esp social media) are not actually indicative of American political beliefs and preferences

Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.

the dailup sound was a protection spell the computer said for us every time we went online but we thought we were too good for it. we wanted to be on the phone and the computer at the same time. we wanted to be on the phone and the computer at the same time and now we’re fucked

Time for the quilts!

Like, you could write an entire book length case study in "ways Roblox completely fails at Trust and Safety". I advise every parent I know to get their kids the fuck off Roblox, or at the very least, directly monitor who's contacting them and what they're playing *extremely* closely.

You don’t have to like Nuzzi or approve of her conduct to understand that Lizza’s choice to publish the material that he is publishing is meant to sexually humiliate her in public in retaliation for disappointing him romantically. The term for that is revenge porn.

This. They're a bunch of freaking gangsters.

Fun fact: November 28, 2001: "ENRON, which had been a component of the S&P; 500, was removed at the end of trading Thursday and replaced by NVIDIA Corp., a Santa Clara, Calif.-based maker of computer-graphics chips."

It’s way past time that qualifying nations refused to attend the World Cup. This is just yet another reason. None will though.

NVIDIA earnings were a mirage. The market figured it out surprisingly fast. NVIDIA bump evaporated. I don’t know how this information can enter the system without exploding the bubble. But sometimes bezzles visible for months before crash. Waiting for the feds? open.substack.com/pub/shanakaa...

The anti-transgender rhetoric in Congress must STOP! I joined @mcbride.house.gov in urging Speaker Johnson to condemn and correct the rise in dehumanizing rhetoric against our trans neighbors.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Tomorrow is the final day!

Again, please keep calling your lawmakers everyday or write them emails to oppose KOSA that would actually censor the internet if every content this administration despises as well as spreading the message about it everywhere.

Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.

not sure how much people are going to care but i finally figured out how to set up a kofi!!!! i'll be reopening my commissions sometime soon but in the meantime if you wanna give me a tip or something, i'd really appreciate it!! ko-fi.com/helpmeimakit...

Sharing greatly appreciated; I'm trying to raise funds to see my dad, who's health has taken a sudden dive, bc he may not be making it out of the hospital. Anything you can give would be appreciated and I hate to ask for help but I don't want him to go without seeing him again. ko-fi.com/whiskeyrain

It's highly unusual for a sitting president of the United States to threaten to murder members of Congress.

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html 🚯 #NoAI #HumanArtists #ArtistsOnBluesky

1 of the biggest pissers about AI. It isn't that it's never capable of being useful, it's that greedy dumbfucks control it, & want it right now solely to stiff workers, & steal licence of all creativity ever, when a much slower dev might've bred more trust & fewer evils.

this boycott picket is part of the National We Ain't Buying It call for boycotts from November 27 through Cyber Monday - weaintbuyingit.com - The target orgs are Target, Amazon and Home Depot.

Thinking about this speech today.

A lot of these "For the Children" Internet bills often do a lot more harm than good. Sometimes because of unintended consequences...Sometimes by design. This is an excellent breakdown. I urge you to call your Congresspeople/Senators in opposition. #InformationPolicy

"Hiring the best people."

This is a story about how America’s world-leading cancer and dementia research system was destroyed by frauds and naifs who broke the law. There must be consequences.

Quite the coincidence that the billionaire owner of the Washington Post isn’t in this photo collage

Higgs 2012 vs. 2025

I have shared this in previous years, but I don't do new year resolutions. Instead, I pick a theme word or words. The past couple years (with an eye to the potential, then definite, looming Trump regime) have been about redundancy & adaptability. For 2026, I am choosing "light." In many senses.

it is truly one of the treasures of nature that they look so elegant from every angle except this one

we took a guy that eats roadkill, drinks unpasteurized milk, and spits in peoples' mouths and made him head of the centers for disease control

Good. Everyone involved with that operation, up to and including Musk, should be prosecuted. It was just a breathtaking run of illegality. bsky.app/profile/solo...

ICYMI: I spoke with CBS Sunday Morning about my book, There Is No Place for Us, alongside the families whose desperate efforts to secure housing the book follows—people working nonstop and still being pushed into homelessness.

THEY ADDED NEW GARBAGE reblog to save a life

After reporting by ProPublica and other publications, the administration is dropping an effort that could have led 830,000 people to lose eligibility for Social Security disability payments.

What people do in their bedrooms is no concern of mine; what they are doing to the country definitely IS.

Marjorie Taylor Greene managed to tolerate being subjected to the sort of abuse, that she has subjected trans people to for years, for approximately one week.

I've deleted the post about Google/Gemini AI, as people are saying that the Malwarebytes story on the matter is wrong and Google is denying it. There's always time to be outraged later, but no need to pass on bad information.

Ah, that explains MTG's odd resignation date; the Congressional pension vests after five years.

Prison guards rushing to take jobs with ICE. Almost like all of this is connected. I wonder which people have been making this case for a few decades.
