An immigrant works a dangerous job to protect Americans. It puts him in medical debt. Now he also has to worry about being deported by ICE when he goes to work or takes his kid to a soccer tournament. Feel safer?

Michael Sheen is just. An exemplary human being in so many ways

I did not notice until this morning on my Netflix that for the Jake Paul/Joshua Moses fight Jake paul is described as a “boxing disruptor” and it’s the perfect metaphor. Showing up, picking a couple easy fights, and the being sure you’re better than people who stick to the basics. Then finding out.

AI slop is now DNA deep in academic research and case law. Awesome.

"megachurches are shen yun for white people" is an incredible and damning true statement

The existence of trans people directly refutes this attitude and asserts the individual right to self-determination. So the authoritarian patriarchy views it as a deadly threat to their identity.

Quite right. There's a strain of thought (common among Christian conservatives) that women and children are chattel—human livestock belonging to the male head of the household. Exhortations to "protect the children" take on a much more sinister meaning in this light. (Rape culture redux.)

Thanks @sciam.bsky.social for introducing me to the documentary about people working with killer whales, but most importantly to the dog Elba who stands on the prow of the boat and sniffs up killer whale feces like truffles. Good dog! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PLK...

Fuck all of you saying "this is inevitable" or "it's here deal with it" or even "it's fine"/"it's not a big deal". Be antihuman on your own time. This is a moveable needle. It's ruining lives (mine included already), ruining the environment, ruining art and creativity, isn't needed and isn't wanted.

if i had a dime for every NYT employee who hung out with jeffrey epstein i would have at least two which isn’t that many but it’s still weird

You should also read this if this era is triggering all kinds of feelings about your family that make you want to run away from your own skin.

Ok Popular Science just made me cry a bit.

"he hacked us with a CLAM?"

As I wrote today: www.readtpa.com/p/watch-rep-...

The "trans women are hulking men with deep voices and hairy knuckles" or whatever narrative they want the public to associate with us doesn't hold up if the public starts to see trans people who are conventionally attractive/not visibly trans when they think "trans person."

The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.

Back on twitter during the first Trump admin I speculated that Sarah Kendzior was being Cassandra-ized. Her predictions weren’t just being ignored - they were being suppressed out of fear she was right and by people in power who wanted to shut her up. And here we are. She knew!

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.

the failure to prosecute Trump for seeking to overturn the election is one of the greatest and most consequential bag fumbles in the history of American politics

There is nothing good about iOS 26. The Liquid Glass interface is a clunky-looking aesthetic choice that seems based on the principle, “wouldn’t this look cool” rather than providing a good user experience. I miss the previous clean and uncluttered interface. TL; DR: It sucks.

Gender affirming care for trans people is safe, effective, and has a lower regret rate (4%) than almost any major medical procedure. It saves lives. These are facts. The right's talking-points are recycled "they are coming for your children!" scare tactics well over fifty years old at this point.

Listening to @bcmerchant.bsky.social BLOOD IN THE MACHINE on @libro.fm and hit the part in the early 1800's where tradespeople worked from home, made their own hours, and the bosses said "We're putting an end to THAT shit", and reflecting on COVID "back to the office" mandates. Plus ça change ...

How to transition from IT to your new career in CNC machining youtu.be/BcSNYvxhB8s

Mark Zuckerberg earned just $1 at Meta in 2024. Elon Musk made $0 at Tesla. They're not alone. A tax law professor explains how the ultrawealthy legally avoid income taxes while their wealth grows by billions annually. buff.ly/updvY1r

this is why you do not put someone who has been failing upwards since she built a career out of trying to get a professor fired for being pro-palestine in charge of a giant news organization

Epstein’s Wealth

The US has already lost 12% of its current income due to climate change. Most studies project future losses, but new research from the University of Arizona has calculated the costs to date. news.arizona.edu/news/climate... #climatechange #economy #income #impacts #supplychains

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that? The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

yes! i am a bit of a broken record on this but among elite male commentators there is such obvious gender anxiety

“European and American liberal democracy is so dangerous to their project, in fact, that the MAGA ideologues seem to be planning to undermine it.”

The networks were afraid not to run Trump because they assumed he would use his office to punish them if they didn’t. The irony is that this is what Biden was warning about, a warning they chose not to share with America.

Everything he does has to remind people he thinks they're fools.

FUCKIN FACTS 💯

very weird feeling watching a seemingly coked out president yell at you for 20 minutes straight

Sure, the Veteran’s Administration is being gutted, but how about this tiny one time cash bonus to show I love the troops? Again, we are trapped in Shitty Father World. Yeah yeah, I cheated on Mom and verbally abuse you and deprive you of love and support, but I bought you a bike!
