The funniest thing about Adams dropping out is that there's absolutely no question he was bribed in some way. He's just such a silly lil' guy!

Actual, literal, no exaggeration, nazi shit.

What if we gave the stupidest liars in the world as much power and money as possible?

Hey, just for clarity: RFK is a eugenicist, a liar, and an incredibly stupid man.

This is an extremely weird way to report that a company is scrambling after a third documented suicide was enabled by their product.

being trans is awesome and trans people are amazing and gender is a dumb box and anyone who makes their own crowbar to smash it from inside is a hero actually.

Remind me again, what technology did this guy think was so fantastic that he renamed his entire company to highlight it?

Even if the suspect *was* trans the WSJ would owe the trans community an apology. Just helping fascists target already at-risk people. Feeding Nazi narrative of eradication to the mainstream. What a disgrace.

I am so utterly disgusted. By the hagiographies. By the declarations of war. By the open, vile bigotry. And by the fact that now that it's known it was one of their own (once again), literally nothing will come of it.

Just paid a couple hundred dollars out of pocket for a vaccine, and remembered again how deeply misanthropic and stupid this country’s medical system is.

Slightly diminish a book: The Puma, the Occultist, and the Dresser Drawer.

Inside you are two wolves. Inside you are two elephants. Inside you are two lions. Inside you are two giraffes. Inside you are two turtles. Inside you are two horses. Inside you are two cats. Inside you are two orangutans. Outside you, the rain is getting worse and worse.

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable

Feeling more than a little called out.

It looks like, for my birthday, I'm getting the gift of People Starting to Be Slightly Less Credulous About "AI". Thanks, it's just what I wanted!

The thing about Andrew Cuomo is that he’s wanted for so, so long to just be a Republican. But he knew he had to act like a Democrat in order to leech off his father’s legacy. Now that he’s thoroughly dried that well, he’s just *inches* away from declaring himself a Republican and finally relaxing.

Truly fascinating to watch the two Cuomo brothers race each other to be the most embarrassing idiot, in public.

Or, if you're a certain very fast hero: Guy with a cold gadget Guy with a hot gadget Guy with a weather gadget Guy with a reflective gadget Guy with a returning gadget Guy with a spinning gadget Guy with pan pipes Guy with a fiddle Horrible psychic monkey

Two events, both in the same theater (the AMC Magic Johnson): 1) Watching Cloverfield, in a nearly empty theater. We got to the reveal that none of the main characters survived, and the only other man in the theater yelled "That's some bullshit!" and stormed out of the show.

Gonna stick my neck out, here, and say Sense8. It's gorgeous, queer, smart, suspenseful, and unique.

Thread I wrote earlier today in response to @miniver.bsky.social wondering why smart people are so susceptible to believing AI fallacies.

What a convenient chart for me to have ready for the next fucking rube who tries to tell me that the subways are dangerous.

Oh hey, I love this.

Avoid like the plague: to pretend something or someone doesn’t exist while making no effort to not be around them and ignoring they are there “He’s avoiding his ex girlfriend like the plague. He went to the party at the gallery she works at and acted like he couldn’t see her the whole time.”

This fits right into the sweet spot on my friendship venn diagram.

I have excellent new for Andrew Cuomo about his commute.

I hope Cuomo feels every last bit of this.

It's so deeply disappointing to see how scared the mainstream Democratic party is of a brown progressive. They would legitimately rather have another Fetterman (or fucking Cuomo!) than the most promising political talent this city has seen since AOC.

this is the most powerful and cogent argument I’ve read on why not to rank Cuomo. simply: he hates NYC. Read this thread.

A party that actually wanted to mobilize young and disillusioned voters would be studying Zohran Mamdani’s campaign like the Bible

A man stirs the pot. “It’s a metaphor,” he says. The frog is sweating. The frog is informed that this is due to a natural variation in temperature. “He’s clearly boiling the frog,” say the other frogs. All books about frogs have vanished from the library.

Cuomo (ptuh!) is now running ads using the NYT’s words about Mamdani. Which was exactly their intent, with their weasel-worded “non-endorsement.” I try really hard to defend journalists, particularly now. But please, do yourself the favor of finding a better news source than the NYT.

I think a lot of people's fears of urban life are fed by the luxury belief that violence is about stranger danger and dark alleyways when it's more often about family and poverty. Any woman could get on the rankest subway car at 1 a.m. and statistically be safer than they are at home

trans rights btw this isn't up for debate

I haven't spoken much about this, but I've spent 2024-5 working in the public sector, and I was truly inspired by the dedication of the people I've met there. I'm so incredibly sad, and angry, about what I've seen happen to them.

These numbers are way higher than I’d thought. Based on the numbers in this article, the trump regime intends to sell: - 12% of Washington - 16% of California - 23% of Alaska - 35% of Oregon - 48% of Nevada The regime is a chop-shop and America is the car they just stole

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

Work overwhelm + I hate the government overwhem + existential overwhelm = HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FUNCTION?

Using this to break ACAB down for anyone who still doesn’t understand. Let’s agree the shooter is a bastard. The others should have prevented him from firing, and after he fired he should have immediately been taken out. He felt comfortable enough to fire because he knows he will get away with it.

If you’re wondering how a mayor Cuomo would respond to the situation that’s unfolding in LA, this is what he had to say as governor in 2020

cops doing crime on camera. as @chadloder.bsky.social has been pointing out all day, this is totally illegal. cops doing crime. on camera. adjust your stupid headlines accordingly.

Hai

UPDATE: w/ 18 days before NYC primary day, we're moving forward with a slate that is clear eyed - no to Andrew Cuomo, yes to a city of care. After this week's debate, it's clear Michael Blake is on the DREAM team! Early voting starts in 8 days, read our UPDATED voter guide for more: jfrej.org/ballot

If you fly, wear a respirator. We have a new, seriously transmissible strain of COVID circulating in the US. We have measles circulating in the US. Protect yrself. Protect the people traveling alongside you. Protect the vulnerable folks yr headed to go visit.

I'm obsessed with this li'l hungry bub.

This trend is funny and cute, but it cannot be overstated what pathetic little piss-babies the people who fearmonger about the subway are. Literally just absolutely terrified of poor and brown people. Rendered unable to function by the horror of being in a system used by literal millions of people.

On average, 300 Americans are still dying each week from COVID19. A major part of the reason is that they are not vaccinated. Another is they’ve been led to believe that COVID19 isn’t serious and don’t seek care or test for it.

this is like worse case scenario for me and many other trans people on medicaid. i will likely not be able to access life saving care if this goes through. can't state it any more - they're trying to eliminate us from existing. please call your reps now

It's so cool how this world has been deliberately constructed to drive you insane if you're a good person
