Got my eye on a few neighbor cats after the rapture. 🐈🐈🐈

Wonderful news!

A thing that's wild to me as someone who aged into being extremely news-aware when Elian Gonzalez was rescued at sea is that any of these boats could have refugees, human trafficking victims, or children on them and this administration is just blowing them up for clout with no consequences

Autism doesn’t need to be cured.

And he’s back ... After ”thoughtful conversations” with Jimmy Kimmel, Disney decided his show will return on Tuesday.

Same. I mean my answer would be something very antisocial like, "I have the requisite skill set to not pollute an entire community and boil the Great Lakes for something I will have to then edit anyway because the output is shit."

In conclusion...

This is why we need to support science Full transparency, I teared up reading this thinking about former patients. I also thought of myself as well as many research like this also helps other related conditions. The impact is not lost on me. We can all use good news.

The fact that the artists want the site to help people never see what they don’t want, using the functionality bluesky already has But nope, we’re going to go with guidelines that ban The Handmaid’s Tale Ask Alberta how Margaret Atwood responded to being treated like degenerate art

This right here.

Since apparently this needs to be stated again, a reminder that TWO THIRDS OF THE US VOTERS believe abortions should be legal in all or most cases, making it FAR more popular or unifying than Ezra Klein....

"IDF whistleblowers have described orders to open fire on Gazan civilians including children with live bullets and artillery ... 'We're killing their wives, their children, their cats, their dogs,' one IDF officer said earlier this year. 'We're destroying their houses and pissing on their graves.'"

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.

I feel like a whole bunch of people would've clutched pearls so hard they'd have strangled themselves if they had to experience the 90s/00s Internet you are responsible for cultivating and curating your own experience here on the interwebs It isn't anyone elses job to soften or censor themselves

I see people talking about Fit for TV and The Biggest Loser and I have to hype this incredible feature from my @theflytrapmedia.com comrade @freeblackgirl.bsky.social. Truly outstanding read on this horrendous show and the profound impact it had on fat people.

shitty little sentence that makes no sense but i just like the sound of it

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I hadn't seen this photo from the ICE protests in Broadview. This is Rev. David Black from Chicago. He's been regularly protesting at the Broadview ICE facility.

If I ever win the lottery, I won't say, but there would be signs (like me wearing a reproduction of this to write in and possibly for every other activity)

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

Every elected Democrat should be talking every day about what retribution will look like. People want payback. And they aren’t wrong to want it. Tell them how you’re going to give it to them. Be explicit. It will get them to the polls better than a zillion egghead policy promises.

I'm unreasonably fond of "box o' rocks" heat storage. Get a bunch of bricks/gravel/whatever, wrap 'em in resistive heating elements, heat 'em up when it's sunny or windy, use the heat when it's not. Stupid-simple and robust. I've seen 50-year-old "box o' rocks" apartment heaters still going strong.

If you read this thread and truly understand it, you understand why top women powerlifters tend to have better technique than top men powerlifters. They can get more reps close to maximal effort during training. They get closer to that unattainable Perfect Lift(tm). Flo Jo ran the Perfect Race(tm)

Facts. Everyone unfairly causes her of cheating, especially those that know nothing about track. A few weeks back I shared that Estrogen is a performance enhancing as much as Testosterone. If y'all understood that thread, you might start to understand why top track coaches say she was clean.

You look at every culture that's ever existed and the running theme is everyone pretty much just wants to play/dance to music, make art, eat stewed meat wrapped in flat bread, and tell stories about the shapes we find in the stars. Somehow we turned that into wars and overtime and profit margins.

Joining them won't protect you. Never did.

This is censorship. Full stop. There is no law against drawing these things, only the tendency of Bsky to think it's icky. And I know what it's like to have my art pulled for being "icky." Solidarity with pornographers. I'm not joking. We are siblings and we need to act like it.

More good news I missed: the two Metro bus drivers who’d been fired for speculating about how they’d resist ICE have been *reinstated* after public outcry.

"Somalia’s recurring crises highlight the fragility of aid systems that rely too heavily on donor-driven communication models"

I love the Winter Olympics let’s all get frostbite and fall down a mountain

No #WeAre hashtag, no world leaders marching arm in arm to protest the massacre of 31 journalists in one attack. This is white supremacy in action www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

People acting like Disney being fascist is new should go back and read the company’s history. Disney himself was a Nazi-sympathizer and only got into the US propaganda film game because he was also a staunch Nationalist. Before that he literally hosted dinner parties for Nazis.

Why does EVERYTHING have an app, a club, a subscription fee, or all of the above? The internet was supposed to be fun, and now I have to pull my phone out all the time or I’m “losing money”.

This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

"Defund the police" is the moderate position, especially because I've seen how the American carceral system treats other violent gang members, especially when they kill civilians, i.e. normal people who have done nothing criminal/gang related.

Recent emmy-winning Andor writer Dan Gilroy just penned a column about the current Trumpian assault on free speech: deadline.com/2025/09/ando...

Anyway here is a poem I wrote about my Palestinian dad

So human beings are all more closely related to each other than at any time in history. This *should* put an end (again) to the bullshit "racial purity" narratives, but it probably won't. Some people just want to be bigots. news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

this exists it is called thinking

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

That last line is one of the absolute single scariest things to me and that it was said with such casual happiness is even more disturbing. Not distressing. Full tilt disturbing.

Happy 71st Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

Displacement of local populations in the name of safeguarding World Heritage is a practice that should be discouraged. I’m surprised it is still being done anywhere. We have come a long way since this was common practice, but I guess we still have a way to go. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

in response to kamala harris' bullshit.

“Curtis Evans stood directly in front of the gate with an American flag. The 65-year-old Evanston resident heard about the first protest on social media and came to represent “the ideals that our country stands for.” “None of us have ever done this before,” he said…
