‼️ * repeats Steve for emphasis * JUDGES CAN REJECT TRUMP'S SHAM SETTLEMENTS

Just laughing at how it’s possible for a black woman to be so beautiful and talented that she sends a racist into a six day public stroke

Wow: Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, one of the biggest children's hospitals in the nation, will be forced to create the nation's first ever "detransition clinic" as part of a $10 million settlement with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

194 people killed by US military boat strikes. No trials. No public evidence. Ever. Some were fishermen. It took 20 journalists 5 months just to name and identify 13 of the dead. This isn’t a drug war. It’s the blatant execution of poor people. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AFeRtpmL6Qba...

also worth noting that when the media erases or buries the “trans” in the rare story about the murder of a trans person, that they’re just continuing the work of the fascists, who stopped tracking anti trans crimes on a federal level last year.

basil is technically in the same family as mint which means it goes really really well with chocolate and if you want to make yourself happy consider a flourless basil chocolate tortel.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

this is extremely funny because "too right wing" is the top answer and "too left wing" is the very bottom answer, like the exact thing that every single person said would happen.

Roots is a bicentennial jawn so in 50 years we went from groundbreaking miniseries watched by the whole country to banning copies of the book

He doesn't book his own travel so either Bari fired everyone competent or the competent people have stuck around and are leaning into malicious compliance - you only do what you're asked when you're asked and don't bother anticipating problems.

He took a sightseeing snorkel to an underwater cemetery. And everyone who let it happen should be fired. They betrayed the solemn responsibility entrusted to them to protect and preserve the dignity of the site and the people in laid to rest there.

A video reminded me that Rember the Titans exist and it's funny cause Hayden Panettiere is in that movie and currently touring about how being a child to adult actor in Hollywood fucked her up (I don't think she has anything bad to say about that movie in which she played a minor role)

What's gutting about this is that Juniper seems to have had a family who supported and loved her, she was in a community that has been explicitly welcoming to trans people, and a man still murdered her. She was living the life so many trans people can only dream of, and it simply didn't matter.

I just really need an aluminum sheet pan I can put in the dishwasher.

DOT officials announced on Wednesday that the 31st Avenue bike boulevard will be extended beyond Steinway Street all the way to Woodside's 51st Street.

I spent weeks working on this fucking lede.

The technical term for this heresy is antinomianism. The more vivid term for it is "cheap grace." The guy who popularized that label for it was murdered by the Nazis.

On this day in 1985, the city of Philadelphia went to war against its own citizens. I wrote about it for @teenvogue.com back in 2020: www.teenvogue.com/story/histor...

A bit ago a gay tiktokker posted a thing about how "looksmaxxing" is (and this is an exact quote) "toxic muscle gay circuit party culture escaping containment". Worth a watch. www.instagram.com/reel/DUyutaX...

I was watching videos from the late 90s / early 2000s and I don't think we talk enough about how the current standard for male beauty is men using steroids or how much that dynamic is for the male gaze.

What kills me about degrowth messaging is that people hear "degrowth" and think their personal bank account is going to shrink. In reality, due to our society's insane inequality, redistribution can make almost everyone *much much richer* regardless of whether overall GDP goes up or down.

TIL that Dolly Parton's Imagination Library now enrolls one of every six children in the US to receive a new book in the mail every month from birth to age five (60 books each) @arl.org

credit to @mississippitoday.org for for breaking the number of turbines w their story (below) - we’re adding details from the emails that appear to show the company doubling the power capacity at the site between late March and last week

I watched Everyone Is Lying to You for Money and while I have my quibbles... the movie is good actually.

Honest q: why is my tiktok algorithm filled with Michael Jackson content?

Sometimes I see posts on here that are structure in such a way that they make me want to apologize for not logging on before 10pm and I beg of some of you to understand that some of us are choosing to touch grass regularly and we don't comment on X news of the day because we're off social.

use whatever chickpeas you want but that dough situation in that photo is not doubles

Why is Heggseth’s wife wearing a $42 dress from a Chinese company? They pay this guy tons. He spends a lot on his wardrobe. Does he not give her money?

Jason Collins, the NBA's first openly gay player who has served as a global ambassador for the sport, has died from brain cancer, his family said. He was 47 www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

I'm sorry you don't understand both genuine concern as someone who might experience a climate linked disaster and basic empathy.

Ella Devi, a teen tiktoker in NYC who studies fashion, noted that Pete Hegseth's wife wore a Shein dress (in contrast to his America first positioning) to the White House correspondent dinner and now certain segments of right-wing media is dogpiling her /1

The GOP has been openly saying since the early 2010s that they were attacking voting rights to steal elections.

I’m now told this witness’s appeal was dismissed in recent days and he was finally ordered removed.

ProPublica identified 155 counties in the Deep South with private schools that opened as likely segregation academies. One in Amite County, Mississippi, has never — over nearly 30 years of surveys — reported enrolling more than one Black student. (Published Dec. 2024)

I was just talking to students in class tonight about for-profit transportation companies marketing themselves as complimenting the system, but actually poaching people from transit trips ...

I have lived out the dream of every NYC kid. I got to visit a con ed steam plant. (I have way more pics but I don't post my students without permission.)

Spotted at the M14 bus stop a Lyft add encouraging people to take Lyft mind you that line also parallels the fucking L train for most of its run. IDK an ad on mass transit designed to undermine mass transit seems gross.

I just saw the weirdest take on the cutting edge. If you don't understand that Kate is the way she is because of her father and the early loss of her mother IDK what to tell you. That is a mid-90s movie that could have been super racist and homophobic and just... wasn't

All my responses to this would get me banned.

But neither NYC (where national media is concentrated) or DC (where federal govt is concentrated) will be that hot. And because drought is a *relative* measurement much of the northeast-mid-atlantic even in drought will look green. People won't notice.

In the last couple of hours Trump has shared racist memes and a post calling for the arrest of Obama, America’s only Black President

None of us alive will experience climate better than what we have now. How much worse it gets is up to us.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

The floodgates have opened up. That's all

Here's a better use of your money and time: @thexylom.com celebrated our eighth anniversary today. Our newsletter is free and we will never have a paywall or indulge in Generative AI slop!! thexylom.com/newsletter

They aren't because proper prepping involves community and classic preppers only care for themselves.

I'm genuinely terrified for disaster season because much of the northeast/mid-Atlantic hasn't been that hot and it's easy to ignore the drought so federal lawmakers don't have to be worried yet that they've destroyed our national hazard response infrastructure.

Can’t read this because of the paywall… …but COME ON
