there wasn't a lot left to ruin but my brain is currently fully broken that people with power let a man hold the entire world hostage for like 9 hours with an existential threat. insane country. broken.

Gas prices???? GAS PRICES???Iranians are in fear of their lives and the fact that our leaders are unable to even spare a few words to humanize these innocent people shows what a cursed nation we really are.

How the US electoral college system started WW3. In this essay I will

I keep forgetting that the people who build AI also use AI themselves and are therefore equally as braindead as their users if not more

Where’s Luigi

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

I keep calling Zohran Mamdani my pretend boyfriend and it’s making my real boyfriend upset lol

Why do you think the oligarchs took direct control of social media and manipulated it towards the far right? 2020 scared the shit out of them and they spent the last 5 years making sure it couldn't happen again.

I gave up trying to reform it. We've gotta build something bigger and better. The propaganda, the copaganda, the immigrant panic is too thoroughly embedded in institutional journalism. It's part of why it's dying. I stopped mourning this and started seeing opportunity. We can build something better.

A herring is a fish. When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells. It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail. Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

Don’t ever forget every single human deserves human rights and there’s no other qualifications you need to bring up on that matter

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Palestinians gunned down while trying to reach food aid site in Gaza, hospital says

in a way it's actually really funny how little it took to completely undermine 200 years of declaration of how much America loves free speech

Regardless of how you feel about her as a candidate, @katmabu.bsky.social is breaking down how campaign business as usual is leaving people disconnected, jaded, and alienated from the political process, and imagining how things might be done differently. I think that's worthwhile!

I’m intrigued by Target’s new corporate strategy of keeping everyone a little pissed at them for wildly different reasons

the very least we can ask is that these people are miserable while they tear our country down around our ears

Oh my god, he was the Crazy Cat Lady all along?

The Trump administration is building a central online marketplace for the Intelligence Community to buy private information about individuals from unregulated data brokers — coming soon to www.icdata.gov theintercept.com/2025/05/22/i...

Buried in the tax bill: "no State or political subdivision thereof may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems during the 10-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act."

If I were a scammer, I would immediately use this data to impersonate brands/businesses to con consumers into handing over their credit card details. The guardrails are gone.

Hey guys! Some ✨personal news✨: I’m stepping down from @checkmyads.org next month. It’s been a good run and I’m ready to start something new. Full statement:

It’s weird how you can accomplish things by simply trying to do them

this is the way

Note to self: join local CSA, no more procrastination!!

A lot of CSAs in the OKC area appear to be kaput but Urban Agrarian offers a subscription box that is functionally the same thing. urbanagrarian.localfoodmarketplace.com/Subscriptions

We've been getting weekly produce delivered from the same farm for 8 years. Every fall they have a gathering on the farm, make wood fired pizza and have tons of carving pumpkins for everyone to take home. Local also means a smaller environmental footprint and no fluctuating costs to us

Community Supported Agriculture! You get a weekly box of local produce at a set price. Local farmers get a steady source of revenues to sustain their practices. Find one near you: www.localharvest.org/csa/

I spent my formative young adult years in Europe, where I tasted a *real strawberry* for the first time and thusly developed an enduring and somewhat crippling fear of U.S. industrial agriculture. It’s my time to shine.

Yesss! 🙏🏼

Two of my favorites in SW Idaho: www.peacefulbelly.com/csa 🫛 www.globalgardensboise.org/join-our-csa... 🍄‍🟫

Coming out of my deep BlueSky slumber with an urgent message: It’s time to join your local CSA. Many have had federal contracts suddenly ripped away from them — and they need us as much as we need them. Lock in your weekly supply of local, organic, UNTARIFFED produce at fair prices today. ♥️

I’m glowing. I’m radiating. 🤗

Love to see it (correctly labelled). Great work by the @checkmyads.org community. www.wired.com/story/ftc-x-...

People in Gaza are beginning to dehydrate to death

Ladies with dry skin: what’s your face mask of choice? For context, I’m leaning towards LaNeige after trying their travel moisturizer kit.

Despite clearly violating X’s policies, the account has been allowed to operate since August 2022, and is being used to run ads for the NFL & the American Investment Council. @nandoodles.checkmyads.org @checkmyads.org

Twitter is completely unusable right now (but I will still use it to demonetize Elon)

Nandini Jammi, Claire Atkin and the good people @checkmyads.org have been leading the charge on deplatforming the jagoffs for a few years now. It's a beautiful thing. @nandoodles.checkmyads.org @catthekin.checkmyads.org

Tremendously excited that this will be taught to 8th graders instead of learning what mitosis is

Successfully called it. Here’s what happens next: Musk posts an insane future roadmap full of totally undoable stuff, fires Linda Yaccarino within a quarter, and I honestly believe this is when bankers are going to start calling him.

They made it very clear twitter was a nazi bar and now they’re terrified that people don’t want to hang out there anymore

Target and Bud Light miscalculated responses to what they thought were grassroots anti trans campaigns. In The Drum today @nandoodles.checkmyads.org breaks down how inauthentic astroturfing campaigns are attacking brands — and how brands can stop funding their own harassment with their advertising

One thing CNN is likely to learn the hard way: any hope of picking up viewers who would otherwise be watching Fox is a futile one. If Fox loses viewers, it will be to channels *to their right*, as demonstrated here.

This is why @nandoodles.bsky.social's work has been so effective

Well done @nandoodles.bsky.social !
