When leftists say the point of the Democrats is to prevent actual progress, they get labeled as crazed conspiracy mongers. Meanwhile, dorks like this keep loudly saying that is their exact mission in life.

the lesson of the second Trump presidency is the President can do whatever the fuck he wants and the next democratic president will have a lot of explaining to do when they pretend they've been thwarted by the Senate Parliamentarian or whoever

Being an admin means never have to face any scrutiny, but sure would love if someone could ask them why we're in dire financial straits one minute and on solid footing the next. Seems like you can't be both of those things at the same time, but I guess that's why I don't make the big bucks.

Saw a poster for this a bit back and thought "I must be really out of touch, I had no idea He-Man was still a thing people paid attention to" and it turns out I'm not out of touch at all, He-Man is very much not a thing people still pay attention to

Man has never heard a Locust album in his life

"Northumbria offered staff between £8,000 & £12,000 to transfer to the USS. THE estimates that the university will therefore spend between £4 million and £6 million on staff payouts as part of the scheme, meaning that it will save nothing in the first year." Stealing our pay for no actual benefit!

Also this lie that a government minister and international fugitive could just pop up in front of tens of thousands of people without massive advance coordination with the Israeli consulate and NYPD is disgusting, stop acting like we're fools

Happy Pride!

On the eve of our submission window opening, we felt we should add an AI policy

They're reinventing drapetomania to explain why women won't date them

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

If you think this would solve the problems of the region, do yourself a favor and learn literally anything about Iraqi Kurdistan

the way to understand their complaints about the party being too woke is that it’s a bunch of half-dead octogenarians who can’t live with the reality of their complete and utter failure as stewards of the state and so have instead decided to blame their own voting base. i can’t wait for them to die

Blue sky is the social media app you use if you primarily want to discuss the social media app twitter

Marty Supreme. It was fine, but it was a plotless movie about a guy who's a jerk, a bunch of people help him for no reason while saying "you're such a jerk, why am I helping you?", and then he gets everything he wants and doesn't learn a single lesson.

It is beautiful how much Flavor Flav genuinely loves and supports women's sports

HERStory made at the Kentucky Derby,,, Congratulationz Cherie Devaux on making history and earning yourself an invite to Flavor Flav’s SHE Weekend in Las Vegas so the world can celebrate you,!!! 🔥🔥🔥

This is the whitest thing ever written

Acts 2:44-45: "44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need." Happy May Day!

Heady stuff, but important for anyone who cares about science and what our findings mean

📣 The difference between replicable and not replicable is not itself scientifically replicable. 📣 New work with Erkan Buzbas, showing that verdicts such as "X% of results replicated" are based on an inferential machinery that doesn't work. arxiv.org/abs/2604.26268

People shit on this show, but it's honestly one of the most progressive, forward-thinking shows to have ever aired

Also worth noting LeBron has been in the league long enough for bucket hats to become cool again

"We need police to keep us safe from crime!!1!!1" and this is what police spend 97% of their day doing

New Yorkers are the most provincial people in existence, and it's very hilarious to see them in *2026* realize you can put garbage in cans rather than just leave it lying everywhere. They think this is some new innovation!

I have wanted few things in life more than I want this to happen

This @racketmn.com story is great, but the author worrying that Goldy might ruin a wedding photo reminded me of the greatest Goldy photo of all time, from a vigil after the Virginia Tech shootings racketmn.com/goldy-gopher...

Every lib/centrist party in the world thinks austerity will show they're tough and clear-eyed & will win them support from the right, while study after study proves doing so only helps the far right. Only two possible conclusions: lib/center pols are very stupid and/or they agree with the far right.

Dams keep saying we can't be too radical and scare the center, meanwhile this is the center

Grew up watching this every Saturday night with my dad, followed by an aging David Carradine in Kung Fu: The Legend Continues. A real power bloc of television.

If you see "political scientist" in the bio, you're reading something terrible. If you see "elite institution" in the bio, you're reading something terrible. If you see "political scientist at elite institution" in the bio, you're reading the stupidest fucking thing that has ever been written.

Average Bsky poster: "We must inaugurate a Second Reconstruction with blood and fire." Average Democratic politician: "We are in a war for the Republic, which is why I propose a 23.7% tax cut." Average liberal columnist: "For too long the transgenders have blocked research into the racial IQ gap."

As with so many supposed tech breakthroughs, AI is just another super-charged way to exploit poor Black and Brown people throughout the world www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

Baseball is so fun when there isn't a dumbass white guy in your ear talking about respect and the "proper" way

"majority of GOP men under 50 think that the Holocaust either didn't happen or was exaggerated.” And yet all I've seen on the news for the past 2 years is that kids opposed to genocide are the real antisemites

Northumbria University’s attempt to entice academics to abandon expensive pension scheme by offering generous payouts described as ‘abject failure’

Hell Yeah

poster seen last night on 38th street - “IT IS WORKING. WE ARE WINNING. DON’T GIVE UP NOW. ICE OUT, JUSTICE FOR OUR DEAD!”

ON STRIKE again this week - the university administration wants to take £100,000 out of my pension because they're bad at math and undercosted their construction plans -I stand with my colleagues in @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social, not asking for more just to keep what we've been promised.

For my entire life, the people protesting US wars have always been ultimately vindicated and that being right is completely forgotten when the next war comes.

Right now both Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage are crying like the dumb little babies they are and I could not be happier

When I was at WVU, their own numbers said the world languages department was bringing in nearly a million dollars a year in profit to the university and then still cut the department in the name of savings

I’m posting on The Good Person App, which means I never have to examine my behavior at all because the fascists who run this place are slightly quieter about it than the fascist who runs the dreaded Other App

So much support from @northumbriauni.bsky.social students yesterday for @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social strikers - they have sent 1000s of emails to the university and SU, and one lad wanted to give us the free coffee vouchers ☕he got from the uni when his classes were cancelled! Solidarity! 🫶

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

I'm going to promote the heck out of this: The Minneapolis Foundation has $4 million in grants available to small businesses for everything from rent and payroll costs to legal help and temporary relocation. More details and the application here: www.minneapolisfoundation.org/stories/comm...
