In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly. In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

"the president has directed the Department of Energy to launch an AI project called the genesis mission" sounds like something out of a technothriller www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

Rep. Salazar: "We're gonna be doing a favor to us, to our children, to our economy, to our oil companies to be able to liberate. And to Venezuelans who wants to be free."

Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend Who looked like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year Its not confidential, I’ve got potential

This is a dumb idea and muddies the waters of the classification system. Whats next, Tylenol because some people believe it causes autism?

This is what bias looks like, btw

I need everyone, esp anyone working in education or tech (but really everyone) to WATCH THIS CLIP of @drtanksley.bsky.social discussing the technologies infiltrating our schools & psyches and how she is addressing it with our young people. youtu.be/5mtcSL4S3HQ

1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs. And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

“AI” is a virus infecting everything!

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

WHAT THE FUCK

If one takes every released commander that's legal and printed in paper and sorts them by date of first printing, the midpoint in this set falls... In the multicolored legends of Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate, which was only released in 2022. I'm not sure how to feel about that, tbh.

EXCUSE ME WHAT??

Big Pharma Army of 500 Lobbyists Is Coming for Medicare Prescription Drug Negotiations, Watchdog Warns www.commondreams.org/news/big-pha...

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

This makes me so sad. Honestly I do not like the nerd community. What they stand for and what they tolerate. There should be no way this should ever happen. Black cosplayers, cosplay who you WANT! If that character inspires you then cosplay them! Don’t ever let anyone dim your shine!

Meanwhile in Catholic schools, the environment is getting even worse for trans and queer people. It never was good to start with but this is horrific. www.them.us/story/ursuli...

Fox deceives its audience to further the Trump regime’s radical agenda. When does a propaganda arm of an authoritarian regime become part of the police state itself?

When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied. You have a right to see this file. (Published May 2023)

Found this funny!

I second this! Insane decision!

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Hey! Former Starbucks worker here (still have scars from 2nd degree burns), please don't cross this picket line. Starbucks is a chronic union-buster. There are so many wonderful local coffee shops to support instead. Make your support for Union Starbucks stores known until *& then after* a strike! 🖤

This is the largest power or toughness value ever printed on a Vintage-legal card. Legendary Wall, indeed.

How long will this nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue last? We make sense of another week on the Coffee Klatch — with special guest @wkamaubell.bsky.social

Kitty in a pumpkin!!!

Not surprised need to keep that billionaire class happy.

While this is a nice gesture this administration will just ignore the order.

This guy needs to remain banned.

They literally ruin everything they touch

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Because most social programs in the US are, unfortunately, means tested, sometimes providing direct financial assistance to someone can risk their benefits. This is an excellent guide on how to avoid that if there is anyone that you want to aid directly during this crisis.

Paxton continues to be a shitty person.

Good news - states are fighting for their citizens. Bad news - Texas is not one of them. www.npr.org/2025/10/27/n...

France's Senate gives its final approval to a bill defining rape and other sexual assault as any non-consensual sexual act, a move that comes after a landmark drugging and rape trial that shook the country.

1. This will be a forced labor camp; 2. Utah is already planning to make it easier to commit people to it.

The outdated and shitty idea that those at the top deserve it. While those at the bottom do not.

Change language for race and it would be more accurate.

NEW: Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma. Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

Yes more experience counters!

This the style of hard hitting news we need!

Swat Kats!!! Now that is a blast from the past. Need MTG sets that are nothing but Saturday morning cartoons.
