"NEVER make any deals with the CENTRIS... Err look at how smart he is!"

The final shakedown effort is underway

Even if the settlement with Northwestern should've never happened, 2 awesome inclusions in the agreement: 1. Northwestern has been forced to reaffirm support for the law (Title IX - fairness in women's sports) 2. Also newly affirms support for evidence-based medicine for transidentified children 👍

Did you know? As of early 2025, most Californians didn't think Gavin Newsom cared at all about governing anymore. Only 26% of Californians (a deep blue state!) thought he was focused on the state. The presidential election was 3.75 YEARS away & he couldn't even be bothered with us. Still can't.

Out of curiosity I decided to try and run the numbers on how much Netflix you can watch for the energy cost of a ChatGPT prompt As far as I can tell it's between 5.1 and 10.2 seconds, depending on which end of the 2019 IEA Netflix energy usage estimate you use simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/29/...

Tom Steyer has a new ad in his CA governor campaign. He says "Sacramento politicians are going to hate this" & also bleeped himself out saying "bullsh*t" in the same ad. The chances any of this is truthful is remote but I appreciate the thought. +1 for Steyer.

American Muslims for Palestine diminishes the educational importance of Holocaust museums, framing them instead as instruments of propaganda. Via: MEMRI

Rosalind Franklin (1920–58), physical chemist, @newnhamcollege.bsky.social revealed DNA’s double helix at www.kcl.ac.uk. Contemporaries @cambridgephysics.bsky.social + KCL won the 1962 Nobel. @nobelprize.org. Her untimely death and bias denied rightful recognition. Injustice that demands correction.

Putting on armour plating, like the rigid belief that you are born in the wrong body, serves to protect a fragility. The belief protects the fragility but carries a high price. Taking off the armour requires love and family/community support. Taking off the armour requires embrace of complexity.

One of the weirder things of the past decade is watching the online creation of an an intransigent “left” in American politics that’s only served Russian interests of destabilization of the West and world order.

One of the ways we could pick better candidates in primaries is to weed out who is allowed to vote. For example, if you are a parent that thinks "Instagram Teen Accounts" & "YouTube Baby Accounts" are safe products for your little future adult, then, you should lose the right to vote in the primary.

New rationale for NIMBY people just dropped

Influencer BlueSky waiting for the “inevitable AI crash” that will never come...

"The U.S. housing market is "about to get hit by a big demographic shift," according to real estate analyst Nick Gerli, as the number of deaths in the country is expecting to exceed the number of births by 2033..."

I suspect the only reason the BBC is publishing this story is bc Andrea Thompson, the actual female winner, is from the U.K. In terms of U.S. media, the only outlets covering it are on the right, are reprinting articles from right-wing sources or are sports-specific. www.bbc.com/sport/weight...

Corruption all the way down in this state. Seems like every rock you turn over, you find the mayor & the governor under there. The LA mayor's office has been the seat of corruption going back decades.

"The man... bought the property for $11.2 million... He wasn’t planning to hold on to the complex for long... Taylor already was in escrow to sell the complex to... a major homeless housing provider, for more than double what he paid... Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom touted the purchase"

"Nearly one in eight students in UCSD’s 2025 incoming class exhibited math skills below middle school level — a “thirtyfold” increase over the last five years..." PS: UCSD is a good school too. ucsdguardian.org/2025/11/17/a...

Her enormous behind is that big because she gets all the fat sucked out of everywhere else in her body on a recurring basis & then gets that fat blown up her rear. It's not naturally possible to have a hugely fat arse & no fat anywhere else.

99.7% of people in Afghanistan are Muslim.

Liberals are back to buying Teslas. Tesla had its best quarter ever in Q3 2025. Market has a litany of better EVs. Hard to resist that Apple aesthetic.

I do not see comprehensive gun control happening in the next 50 years. I hope it happens one day. But I will not be around to see it. Mass incarceration is the best bipartisan route to mitigate gun violence. We need more violent people in prison.

Management experience isn't needed for executive branch politicians. These are the people that pick who we end up with.

The truth is that if Mamdani wasn't cute & weighed about 295 pounds, he would not have been a favorite for many online & he would've thus been trounced in the primary. Being cute can get you really far in the social media era. 98% of Luigi M support is really just because he's hot.

increasingly glad i did not meet any of these people before they became officially a murder cult because this is, unfortunately, hilarious and i would have been extremely into it

The fascinating part of Pete Buttigieg's predicament is, that he has higher support than anyone on the D team among independent & conservative voters. BUT the D voters, harboring their own internal homophobia, find it most convenient to blame conservative homophobia on why they won't vote for him 😂

In today's news from the Upside Down, the federal government is planning to cut ties with the Boy Scouts because they are too inclusive.

The ozone hole over the Antarctic in 2025 was the fifth smallest since 1992 and it "remains on track to recover fully later this century," per a new report by NOAA and NASA.

Incredible new tool to trace where you are in comparison to air pollution sources, as well as if you are downwind from them.

They are already raising money for the woman that spent millions of OUR money on luxury handbags, clothing, & high end travel. Corruption all the way down. Now kiss the ring.

A female has been awarded the title of World's Strongest Woman in 2025 after the winner, a male cheater, had deceptively won it. Andrea Thompson from the UK is now the World's Strongest Woman. Congrats!

Nuclear is sustainable

And this is the mindset that morbidly obese people have, & the mindset that big business & their politicians exploit in poisoning all of us... So long as there's enough people that don't care, they can outweigh the people that do care.

Air defense projectiles without a self destruct mechanism can be dangerous for people on the ground, especially in densely populated regions as in Novorossiysk. This footage of a failed Russian missile illustrates this, vividly.

Novorossiysk in Russia is once again under attack by UAVs and the Russian air defense is wildly firing in all directions.

If interest rates continue to rise as they have been, the US government is only years away from calamity when it comes to our ability to keep up with interest payments on our debt. It will happen within our lifetimes. Good luck with any money you've been dutifully saving.

"Ironically, anti-science sentiments exist within the science education research community itself that can potentially breed mistrust in science... lack of nuance in critiquing science and blanket dismissal of science as a racist, sexist and colonial endeavour"

"Ultra-processed food (UPF) is linked to harm in every major organ system of the human body and poses a seismic threat to global health, according to the world’s largest review. UPF is also rapidly displacing fresh food in the diets of children and adults on every continent..."

We destroy BMWs for fun and will NEVER get bored of it. #WorldBollardAssociation😏

What do we make of the people that have decided they actually 💕 & think we need kids to be doing a lot of their learning through homework? Nordic countries eliminated HW long time ago. Their learning outcomes are far superior to ours. Eliminate HW, you eliminate the "you used AI for HW 🤬" problem.

There are people that wish we were in a recession, & almost all of them are on Bluesky. This can't possibly compute for people on here.

The EPA has approved new chemicals to be put on your food, which will kill you quicker. BUT they will make your produce look better on the grocery store shelf. Not only that but they will persist in the soil & water forever, poisoning your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, & so on.

The Los Angeles Times is a far right news source in the Bluesky bubble.

Every social media site could do this, but they choose not to for various reasons, mostly economic. If you peeled back how many of the "🇺🇸" accounts you follow with 10s of 1,000s of followers, you'd find many of them based in Russia, the Middle East, & behind VPNs. On Bluesky & on all social media.
