At TPUSA's women's leadership summit, Benny Johnson's wife Kate says birth control "weaken[s] and diminish[es]" women and women don't have a right to prevent their own pregnancies

I write resumes for people, and I noticed that my clients stopped getting hired at a certain point. It was like a switch flipped, and I'd bet $10 that the switch was AI taking over 🚨

Looking at you @democrats.org bsky.app/profile/criq...

I'm tired of choosing between awful candidates at the primary stage when I know there are better candidates who'll never have a decent shot. Why not give voters a #NoneOfTheAbove option? If more people choose that than any candidate, run the damn election again with different candidates.

Good job editors for being clear this is happening under Censorship Jay.

Any place that has a lot of poverty and desperation is particularly susceptible

Happy #Caturday to all who celebrate! My offering today is my favorite sequence of our sweet goof falling off the bed. (No harm done, rest assured! He is still happily goofing years later)

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

The rebellions continue! The publisher Springer put pressure on a journal's editors to accept more papers, just to make more money. The editors resigned and started their own journal, which is peer reviewed and 'diamond open access'. That means FREE to publish in and FREE to read! (1/n)

Nobody wants to hear it, but poor people with no options are easily manipulated by wealthy entities with agendas to push.

On Bluesky? All of us

bear vs man isn’t “vibes,” it’s our fucking life

Maple syrup is amazing because it’s just a socially acceptable way to drench a full plate of food in sugar water. Outstanding work Canada.

My kid will just love this amazing resource! Great for #homeschool families

What's wrong baby? You haven't touched your peach piss n fart cake.

for every graham platner, there's dozens of just as capable women you could be investing in who don't have nazi tattoos or abusive pasts you just don't want to expand your class analysis to encompass gender

Whenever Lee Greenwood is mentioned, I just . . . youtu.be/Bf3e9Cl1-Bs?...

THAT'S BAD

This is the guy y'all are defending? bsky.app/profile/akiv...

It sounds crazy, but I guess when somebody tells you their only mistake was a Nazi tattoo, its possible they actually made a series of other mistakes that did not happen to produce a Nazi tattoo.

There are almost no crustaceans in the deep ocean. Not because they would get crushed, but because they would DISSOLVE. The cold & high pressure cause changes to water that make it very corrosive to calcium carbonate shells. But there's one crustacean who solves this problem with ALUMINUM ARMOR.

There are a lot of abusive guys out there who tell themselves they’re not that kind of guy because they never hit, but shoving, locking someone in a room, grabbing their wrist hard, restraining them, etc. are all forms of physical abuse and fundamentally violate someone’s bodily autonomy.

My dear hubs has been my best friend for thirty-odd years--he's just the BEST hubs and father. He appears to be a stereotypical straight guy, but his peeps know he will sing *and* dance if "Single Ladies" comes on. Still far more masculine than any MAGA loser who always crows about manliness ✨

Genuinely wild that I, a homosexual who loves disco music and rhinestones, am more comfortable in my masculinity than half of the heterosexual men in mainstream punditry.

Elon Musk’s net worth poised to sail past $1 trillion in SpaceX IPO Tax this mutherfcker into oblivion

Ken Jones, a retired San Francisco firefighter, has died from lung cancer after Blue Shield denied his treatment claims Any 2028 candidate who does not champion universal healthcare is a non-starter. I will not vote for someone who kills my neighbors for "shareholder value." You can go burn in hell

I’m probably only going to say this sentence once in my lifetime: I think Texas might need more ivermectin.

Antibiotic-resistant TB getting a boost from this would be bad for the US -- Canada and Mexico, and other countries too. A proper HHS Secretary would be yelling "Stay out of my lane!" at ICE, the EPA (loosening pollution curbs), the USDA (cutting SNAP)...

My husband is unemployed thanks to DOGE cuts to federal infrastructure funding. The guys who were getting that funding--hubs's clients--were all MAGA. So Trump took federal money away from MAGA supplicants in order to redistribute it, but to whom? 🤔

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

This! And what the hell are they doing, running Platner against Collins?! Surely there's at least a few other viable options

Fuck you, #Microsoft. I barely tolerate your products as it is and adding AI to fucking everything you make only makes me hate you more 😡

Happy Pride to all my LGBTQ+ friends. You are valid, you are loved, and fuck anyone who doesn't think so. If you have shitty parents, I'll be your dad now. Eat well, wear sunscreen, and hydrate properly. Come over for dinner anytime, we always have enough.

this makes me so fucking mad

Using generative AI for imagery is **directly harmful** to artists, graphic designers, photographers etc. This isn't a vague moral argument: this is just normal, standard theft, except at a completely new scale and social acceptability. We need to reverse that. www.instagram.com/reel/DY2L2-g...

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Big Oil and the plastics industry knew decades ago that plastics recycling isn't technically or economically viable. But they deceptively promoted recycling as a solution so they could expand production and stall meaningful action. They knew. They lied. And they must be held accountable.

Marilyn's iconic fuchsia dress dance wouldn't be the same without the flamboyantly gay dancer who donned a skirt and heels and showed her his moves. Read all about it here: www.kentuckypress.com/978198590455... #TCMparty #GentlemenPreferBlondes

Can I interest you in a moist owlette as a timeline cleanse? This is Sassafras the Eastern Screech Owl from the Cincinnati Zoo (@cincinnatizoo.bsky.social, but via their FB) and I love him very much. Eastern Screech Owls (Megascops asio) are native to eastern North America.
