When the lord closes a shitty door … 🙏

IMPORTANT REMINDER: This sort of thing is happening right now, too. #bloomscrolling

“The government can’t or won’t stop a corrupt president from literally taking your money” is a statement that essentially wouldn’t have made sense a decade ago

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

my firm take is that any man loudly worried about fertility rates is a fucking creep

“AI” is a sick burn in the tween & teen NYC set. Don’t like a girl’s look? She’s “AI Barbie.” Say something dumb? “You “sound like AI.” Poorly made thing? That’s “AI slop.” I feel like someone in charge of polluting our country w data centers should know this.

“Can you make it out to Gary?” kills me.

Too bad feminism is SO CRINGE circa 2016 babes. /s "Far from being a fringe belief system, masculinism has become the single most important force uniting the American right, bringing together an unlikely constellation of pastors, posters, senators, preachers, influencers, podcasters, & fanboys."

Because it's been a few years since my daughters (both avid "Wocks" collectors when they were small) ran to me w a pretty stone, Lucy Knisley's Wocks hits even sweeter. "The world is full of treasure for those with discernment, passion, patience—and very big pockets." Try to live this every day.

Hacks S5E7 might be the most fun I've ever had watching TV: youtu.be/h_C646znhxs?...

This is 100% true but I am guessing the number of people it describes is functionally zero. If that was your reaction then, you probably don't have it in you to reassess honestly. Anyway, this is a good piece. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

Peter Thiel's internalized homophobia (and vindictiveness) destroyed a great nation. He could have just moved to Palm Springs and enjoyed his gay life. Still believe if Gawker hadn't shuttered in 2016, Trump would never have won. Certainly wouldn't have won twice.

Happy Mothers’ Day!

Hello everybody, I want to believe just as much as anybody else does but I really need to tell you that in my 10+ years of experience as a disinformation expert, the only reason UFO shit gets put out by the government is to distract you from other really bad things

A+ Brooklyn night at New York Liberty season opener. 🗽 The hoops were excellent. The crowd so happy. Big Ellie!

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

the thing about the necessary reforms is that it will be very difficult, you will be fighting against fox news and asymmetric media output because you refuse to give left-leaning creators the money necessary to make a living speaking truth to power

When she runs so fast and free—big happy circles—it reminds me of all the good still here in this world. #timelinecleanse #dogsofbluesky #prospectpark #dogsofbrooklyn

Frida Kahlo at #MoMANYC “Frida and Diego: The Last Dream” at MoMA through Sept 12.

The Pentagon just gave 24 million dollars to Eric Trump.

I'm swimming another Lake Erie open mile. And bonus: It's a fundraiser. The money I'll raise will go to veterans & first responder initiatives in Erie, PA through The Uncommon Grit Foundation, an apolitical organization that supports "Hometown Heroes." www.zeffy.com/en-US/fundra...

If L.L.M.s "cause atrophy of thought in adults, then we can scarcely overestimate the potential effects on a brain that has not developed those cognitive muscles in the first place." www.newyorker.com/culture/prog...

Paws up, ears up, let’s go, Friday! #dogsofbluesky #prospectpark

Did not think it possible that 25 years have passed since I spent my days selling books at A Different Light in San Francisco. Wild to visit Fabulosa Books, now in the same spot. Same shelving. Same old floor tiles. Same overgrown garden. Happy a LGBT+ bookstore is still there. Brighter now, too. 🌈

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic! Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

Nobody but Big Brother wants this.

There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.

Good morning good morning!

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Just come up w the stupidest tech shit imaginable, add something “cool” adjacent like a beanie, get millions. 🤑🤑🤑 Never actually make this thing that the world doesn’t need anyway.

My coauthors @lesja.bsky.social @karenguzzo.bsky.social & I have a new piece in @theconversation.com , which offers insights into why most demographers do NOT think there is a current fertility crisis and the panic about population decline is unwarranted. 1/ theconversation.com/fears-that-f...

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

moment of zen from California’s Highway 1 somewhere between Monterey and San Francisco #Timelinecleanse

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

Some hope 🌈

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

Just wild, this week of all weeks, to stumble upon a plaque celebrating the United Nations in Muir Woods in 1945. "Persons who love nature find a common basis for understanding people of other countries, since the love of nature is universal among men of all nations." I want this country back. 🇺🇸

“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”

Among the stunning scenes from our family vacation: Gas in San Francisco, CA is now $6.19. #trumptakegas

Happy Easter! It’s a time of rebirth and renewal and the president is tweeting terrible things, again. This rose is happening right now, too. And roses will keep happening long after he’s gone. #bloomscrolling

How is it possible that he can still shock me so deeply?

Mostly I’m wondering if there was a sale on the shorter faucet, or what has happened here. #hotelsink #sinkdesign #designfail

As an American, there are always disappointments to register and arguments to engage; amid the chaos of our battered, monied attempt at self-governance, dissent is constant. But this feeling of being utterly ashamed of America and embarrassed to the core by its president is new, raw and unnerving.

It's been 66 days since agents killed Alex Pretti. DHS has body-cam footage. They haven't released it. 66 days and counting. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

"Well, it's the hottest summer in the history of man And for some reason yesterday we bombed Iran Everybody knows we're starting WWIII But nobody wants to talk about what you should do if your government is starting WWIII." Fun catchy little tune, just humming along to this for weeks.

So many people were fooled into thinking this was about protecting women's sports.
