Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill. HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

AI MAGA girls are taking over Instagram. @ejdickson.bsky.social talked to a guy who made thousands off of just one of those accounts

The guy who famously did everything he could to not go to Vietnam claiming he'd "win" Vietnam is a new one even for him.

Big abortion win in PA today - the ban on Medicaid funding is unconstitutional! AND there's a fundamental right to abortion! We won! (Though this Commonwealth Court opinion can be appealed - we'll see what our AG does.)

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Jake Mangum spots kid in the crowd, tosses the ball, and her brother catches it and gives it to her. Dudes rock.

I'm so glad this brave law enforcement officer is OK after being violently smirked at. Praying for him and his family

BREAKING: Eight children were killed in an "extensive" mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, police say. The suspected shooter is also dead.

Pope Leo on AI: “Within digital environments — structured to persuade — interaction is optimized to the point of rendering a real encounter superfluous; the otherness of persons in the flesh is neutralized, and relationships are reduced to functional responses.” This short thread is worth reading:

It’s insane that this isn’t getting more coverage. 62 million men in one month. 62 MILLION. It’s so hard to not think at this point that no one gives a shit about women at all.

Genuinely if you’re so stupid you need AI to figure out your coffee order please seek medical help.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is now owned by @thebaltimorebanner.com's parent company, which will turn it into a non-profit news organization. Honestly the best possible outcome for a newspaper that's been bedeviled by its billionaire [former] owners. Good riddance to the Blocks.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, which DID NOT die

It's a bad sign that Spanberger, elected on a wave of opposition to Trump and his swollen militarized secret police force, is insisting that Virginia sheriffs and jails continue to imprison people past their release date in order to hand them over to ICE. This grants ICE power it should not have.

Kid’s first baseball game of the season tonight and I had a nightmare about running GameChanger. We’re so back.

26 years old from South Sudan. He has been in the US since age 13, when he was recruited to the country for basketball. Now being discarded as if he was human refuse. Shame on Syracuse for not intervening. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/04...

BREAKING NEWS: Embattled Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is resigning from Congress after sexual assault allegations.

Folks, Pitt has a (potential) starting lineup: PG - Nait George SG - Jalil Bethea SF - Jonathan Powell PF - Baye Ndongo C - Armani Mighty We'll see if the staff can upgrade at any of those spots, but getting the players for a starting five is, well, a start.

It's funny that Trump called Iran tough negotiators because he said "Give up your only two points of leverage forever" and they said "no"

It rocks how few people and voters are buying his bullshit nowadays

I guess I'm a Kasey Musgraves fan now?

Well, that's one. Pitt grabs its first player out of the transfer portal from BYU forward Dominique Diomande:

HOUSTON (AP) — Artemis II’s astronauts return to Earth, ending a record-breaking trip around the moon with a splashdown in the Pacific.

As the father of a middle schooler I have seen the rebellion against AI forming there — even using “that’s AI, bro,” not indicating something is literally AI, but that something is metaphorically so — it’s sus, it’s bullshit, it’s bad weird

I wrote about the end of the U.S. Forest Service and the arrogance of trying to kill something like a forest: defector.com/the-trump-ad...

Just huge fucking losers. They'll take back the house this year by default - do nothing after that except piss people off and usher in President Tucker or whoever in '28. Cool shit.

Quite the week for the president of the United States on Truth Social. Sunday: "Praise be to Allah!" Tuesday: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." Thursday: [video of a woman being murdered]

About to go coach 8u baseball in a 38 degree windchill with the threat of nuclear warfare looming.

Best plausible option right now is Trump seizes on something, anything, as an excuse to save face while kicking the can down the road again and we're back to this point in a week or two.
