Influencer = Advertiser Seriously, who the fuck wants to watch an advertiser sell you on some bullshit that they are being paid to pimp? That's an influencer, a focused advertiser that fools people into thinking they are just like them. Or that they can be just like them if they buy this product.

the United States is a large and powerful country captured by lunatics and fossil fuel interests but the rest of the world is much larger and if their climate emissions plummet the US alone cannot pollute enough to counteract it

The important lesson to take away from this is not that we are all going to die of Hantavirus. We aren’t. It’s that the United States has zero pandemic prevention capacity at the present because of deliberate sabotage by the president and his appointed lackeys.

RETRACTION! ”Study” that purported to show improved learning results with ChatGPT. NOPE

Monsters. Not a shard of humanity among them and they call themselves Christians. Evil fuckers, all of them. Pure evil.

The hardest part of being a professor of rare moths is acquiring all of those tiny writing desks.

Hang on, guys, I was working on a book and then trying to go through all these trailcam videos for a couple days and now you’re telling me somebody built an ACTUAL GOLDEN IDOL OF TRUMP?! Somewhere, St. John the Divine is tearing his hair out and yelling that it was a metaphor for ROME, holy shit…

I am extremely troubled by the amount of standby pay issued to MPD officers during Operation Metro Surge. MPD data shows some officers were paid nearly 24 hours per day for 32 days straight, while dozens were paid 8-12 extra hours each day while we stood out in the cold protecting our neighbors. 1/

Any "leftist" taking MTG's side over AOC's is either an op or the biggest mark at the carnival

YES YOU DO, YOU DO ACTUALLY DO THAT, ESPECIALLY ON LONG FLIGHTS. CHANGING PILOTS DURING A FLIGHT IS A THING THAT REGULARLY HAPPENS, DAVID

now thats an anecdote with a punch, from Gillian Tett www.ft.com/content/c0ae...

Whereas really *tough* sex writing is not just about the profound depths of interpersonal union, but WHERE THE HECK EVERYBODY’S ARMS AND LEGS ARE when stuff starts getting hot. 😏

California will become the first state ever to provide free diapers to newborns starting this summer. If you want to talk about being the "party of family values," start right there or shut the hell up. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"But Seanan, how do you sell books by ACCIDENT? Recommending a book is INTENTIONAL." Well... The clerk who was helping me look for OMENS OF CHAOS was amused that I had books in three different sections. I said some of the placements were a bit odd. She asked what I meant.

Yup that’s Gary! I’ll never forget how in one of his 2022 senate campaign ads, he had hit a blunt then set the confederate flag on fire 😂 www.npr.org/2022/02/10/1...

There are plenty of reasons to criticise waste in the public sector, and specifically by the HSE, but the provision of cycling facilities, which are designed to improve our carbon footprint and provide healthier commuting options is not one of them. Stop with your anti-cycling shite. 10/

I am so sick of the criticism of the "designer" bicyle storage facility in Kerry Hospital. Lets have a look at these costs, understanding them is about reframing what was actually built, and comparing it fairly against the infrastructure society routinely accepts for cars. 1/

A mild thought. Women really like: • Men who actually listen and are interested. • Men who do their share of the chores without being asked. • Men who are reasonably well-groomed and smell nice. They're not all that interested in guys who have attached spacehoppers.

“We, the creators of the Torment Nexus, are now suing the writers of the classic science fiction novel ‘Don’t Create the Torment Nexus.’”

@peter.petermorwood.com glanced at this image once, smiled, and merely said, walking away to get some tea: "That's no castle. Like its owner, it's indefensible."

Top three ranked medical schools in the US and their pharmacology requirements to graduate with a MD: Harvard Medicine: one class, mandatory JHU Medicine: one class, optional Yale Medicine: one class, mandatory It does not get more rigorous as you go down the list.

I know the law

wait omg

The Pike’s Peak Humane Society has a social media manager who is very good at their job

Your regular reminder that when David Duke ran for statewide office in the early 1990s, the MAJORITY of white Louisiana voters pulled the lever for him. This was AFTER they’d seen the pictures of Duke in a Klan outfit and a Nazi uniform.

I can tell you from experience that of people actually read and shared stories about Trump and crypto, more people would know. The stories are written. And ignored.

So 4.5 million people are hungrier tonight because she kicked them off of a food assistance program and she's boasting that she is going to make millions more hungrier?! Is she auditioning for Satan's assistant in Hell? Let me guess... she's a Christian, right? Or at least she thinks she's one.

A plane literally killed a man on a runway yesterday and the guy in charge of aviation safety was busy promoting his self-aggrandizing road trip movie.

Some churches exist to solely provide careers for people who would fail at everything else in life. Tell people what they want to hear, give God credit for it and tell the believers that they will stay out of Hell. Ask for cash, rake it in. Need more cash? Hatred is like an ATM for them...

Congratulations, Lamont! Best wishes to you on a bright future! I just hope our country doesn't kill him first.

No, John Roberts and his five fellow conservatives on the Supreme Court have unleashed the gerrymanders. Place the blame where it belongs, on the humans who did that wrong. Conservatives did this to our nation. Not some entity, conservatives get the blame. All of it...

A moral stain on our country: “Trump’s most lethal policy will almost surely be his 71 percent cut in humanitarian aid from 2024 to 2025. A Boston University researcher estimated that the aid cuts cost more than 750,000 lives worldwide in their first year.” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/09/o...

They are partying and laughing it up on our dime, while we struggle to pay for groceries, gas and everything else that is going up in cost. All while telling us that everything is fine and to ignore the unfolding disasters across the nation and around the world. The Republican party is our enemy.

Rats fleeing a ship that is being fumigated? Election is working as intended! May Hungary's hunt for political criminals and cronies be fruitful. I hope that one day here in America, we will be able to hold our political criminals to account.

Fuck you, IU. I dare you to ever ask me for money again.

His personal humiliations have come at the hands of Barack Obama and Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries. Never forget that Pete Hegseth tried to stop a promotion of a Black Woman General, b/c President Trump would have to stand next to her.

J6 and his racism and the racism of John Eastman and Jeffrey Clark and Samuel and Martha Alito and the racial resentment of key parts of the conservative movement needs to be called out.

Why does Renee Good’s wife have to sue the federal government to get her van back so she can preserve evidence?

And I implore everyone on BlueSky and beyond to understand the FBI’s refusal to investigate—at all—Renee Good’s death should be understood as racialized mechanism to police white allies of Black and Brown people. You have to see a name a Redeemer Project.

Stating that nurses can take out loans to the professional cap is a decision you can reverse it through the Congressional Review Act. Rural communities depend on licensed nurse practitioners and nurses to provide healthcare. Like why would chiropractors get high professional loans and not nurses?

Steve Job’s favorite course was calligraphy, and although he dropped out of Reed college after 1 semester, he audited courses there for 18 months. Students learn in weird ways. My favorite course in Undergrad was about Paracelus, and I became a patent lawyer because I loved it so much.

trump and hegseth are presiding over one of the great Ls in american military history.

Law professor here 👋. Those people are correct and Roberts either has a devastating case of false consciousness or is lying to the public.

@geelliotmorris.com and I woke up with the same conclusion: never trust Sam Alito’s ability to reason, or in this case, understand basic statistics.

I am planning a garden this summer, folks, and you should too. The President’s farm policies have caused, at what is now, a 46% bankruptcy rate in the farm economy. Again, USAID and SNAP and Tariffs subsided farmers: they were a crucial set of exchanges to maintain independent farmers.

The MN State Police or Renee Good’s partner should not have to file a lawsuit to get evidence to conduct an investigation because either there should be a federal investigation or a joint state federal investigation. But yeah, the federal government just turned over evidence.

What we choose to pick to study as legal scholars is an important signal to other political actors.
