Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Pretty sure I've comfort-watched this one thirty-something times so far 😅😅💙

I think my gummy bear watched Haunting of Hill House too many times....

poem that my dear friend @arcanumb.bsky.social wrote & published this week ❤️‍🔥🏳️‍⚧️

“People with advanced lung or skin cancer who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of beginning immunotherapy lived considerably longer than those who did not… .” www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Or they'll makeout with each other and order Chinese.

In case you need a reminder. #NoKings

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Samuel Alito preparing to raise absolutely the craziest flag you've ever seen at his Long Beach Island compound.

The US has gone from "walk softly and carry a big stick" to "react to every perceived slight like the most insecure guy in the room"

More than anything, they want to be patted on the head and told they're a good boy by the liberal elites

In a single paragraph, SCOTUS allowed the executive branch to withhold $4 billion in funds Congress appropriated for foreign aid. Make no mistake: this is a major assault on Congress's power of the purse and yet another step towards giving the president king-like power to defy the legislature.

Kimmel won. Winning matters, wins are how we’re going to prevent this autocratic slide.

Talk shows aren't my jam, but it feels important to make sure this gets plenty of views.

It's not a failing of the victim. It's a finely honed skill of the abuser. Why didn't she leave? Because he's spent his whole life perfecting his ability to project a false image of himself & train victims to see the real him as an aberration brought on by external forces...or by her own actions.

Say what you will about the man (and I won't deny he had faults), but Eisner expanded Disney Parks at the proper pace for population growth, whereas Iger has stubbornly refused to do anything but manipulate crowd patterns, creating the absolutely miserable experience Disney Parks are today.

I’m old enough to remember when Bob Iger, whose company recently paid $16 million to settle a meritless Trump lawsuit, and who just indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel under pressure from the Trump administration, was a chair for the **Committee to Protect Journalists** dinner.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

The Right is going increasingly masks-off and it's going to get uglier yet.

THE HONMOON IS SEALED www.billboard.com/music/chart-...

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

I wrote a thing. As someone who survived the 1970s and kept the receipts.

Sunlight doesn’t disinfect, because fascist ideology isn’t a mold, it’s a fire. You have to starve it of oxygen.

As a journalist, this is one of those little details that ends up as a brief aside in your rapidly written story to offer the reader additional context for a source, but ends up sticking with you for a while.

That msnbc guy got fired for saying these words

If any one of us called for Brian Kilmeade to be killed by lethal injection, for any reason, we'd be rightly excoriated. Yet he can go on national television, casually call for the extrajudicial murder of an entire group of people, and it'll be forgotten before the coffee gets cold. Fuck this.

This is so horrible I had to check articles to make sure the video wasn't a deepfake. Unbelievable. www.mediamatters.org/fox-friends/...

This is one of the more interesting pieces I’ve read on the Kirk assassination. Meme wars as “politics”… www.garbageday.email/p/charlie-ki...

Normalize calling bad people bad

The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.

How it's done.

It’s not about the good people at CISA. It’s about all the good people who suddenly and disruptively aren’t at CISA

With students heading back to the classroom, a group of cognitive scientists and AI researchers has published one of the most forceful and evidence-backed calls yet to reject the "uncritical adoption of AI" in academia:

Best glory I’ve ever seen from a plane! It’s an optical phenomenon that occurs when light interacts in and around tiny droplets of water in the clouds, in the direction opposite the sun. More complex than a rainbow. Here’s a link to some more info: www.zmescience.com/science/phys... #optics #physics

Sabrina Carpenter showed support for the trans community during her performance of “Tears” at the 2025 MTV #VMAs, with signs on stage reading “Protect Trans Rights” and “In Trans We Trust” #NOH8

At least once each week or so, I hear someone remark about the difference in people lately, how they just don't seem to understand things as well as they used to, or act the same as before. And no one ever connects the dots with all the cognitive damage from repeat infections...

If Mike Johnson tells you the sky is blue, you really should doublecheck, because all the man does is lie. The safest bet always with Johnson is that whatever he says, assume the opposite is true until proven otherwise. He's total scum.

I'm so glad I got hear them say it one last time. 😩

New statement: IDSA, APHA and partners call for RFK Jr. to resign: "Our country needs leadership that will promote open, honest dialogue — not disregard decades of lifesaving science, spread misinformation, reverse medical progress and decimate programs that keep us safe." bit.ly/3JOgDya

This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

the Nazis literally tried to discover Atlantis because they thought Atlanteans were aryans and would prove German racial superiority Fascism has always been anti-intellectual and full of pseudoscience
