I've gotten a mystery box from Miami Fruit that introduced me to some new fruits I'd never seen in america.

doug emhoff's law firm cut a deal with trump to provide him 100 million in pro bono law services and eliminate all dei initiatives. seven partners resigned, doug emhoff did not 💙

Jesus fucking christ

Toasted everything bagel with chicken salad, bacon, lettuce, tomato

the thing is even if you took out all the possible issues one might have with it, the actual process of using it would be a literal nightmare for me. i cannot IMAGINE having creativeness being locked behind of the equivalent of standing over a co-worker's shoulder mentally begging Just Let Me Do It

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

@durbin.senate.gov Do not let the GOP use trans healthcare as a bargaining chip. Do not agree to any funding package that bans federal funding for facilities providing trans healthcare.

@duckworth.senate.gov Do not let the GOP use trans healthcare as a bargaining chip. Do not agree to any funding package that bans federal funding for facilities providing trans healthcare.

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

Toxicology principle that needs to be mainstream: The dose makes the poison. That’s true of everything. Water. Oxygen. Vitamin A. Vitamin D. Aspartame. Formaldehyde. A single pear contains 120 times MORE formaldehyde than what might be in a vaccine. 1/

For some reason @1password.bsky.social is deleting comments critical of its partnership with Perplexity from its forum post on the topic. It's really disappointing, I've been a 1Password evangelist for over a decade. Examples of deleted comments here: arstechnica.com/civis/thread...

For the people in the back, bigotry is not an opinion…

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

@mta.info I love that the Q70 SBS exists but yall have to run more buses

replacing Batman fight onomatopoeiae with old midwestern brewery names

I’ve been very impressed with the new NYC subway trains and signage but how even on these new trains is the only communication for sudden service changes a crackly muffled “this train will be going express” over the loudspeaker and no visual communication? Wrong doors lit up too.

A site for sad boys staring into wells? You mean Forlornhub?

If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times: We need to break out of this political culture that insists every college sophomore speaks for the Democratic Party whenever they post online but the Republican Party is somehow not represented by what the Republican president says on television.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

Press needs to stop repeating govt euphemism of “clearing homeless camps.” I’ve witnessed it in other cities: massive destruction of personal property. Not just bedrolls & tents; family photos, Bibles, meds. Times I’ve seen it people weren’t even given option to move their things.

Mamdani on Cuomo: "I don't need to do much to make the governor appear extremely dislikable."

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK

Felix Gonzalez-Torres' “Untitled” (Go-Go Dancing Platform), 1991, gives the audience 5 min performances of joy & desire, then in-between the empty podium embodies loss. It was originally conceived after Gonzalez-Torres' partner died from AIDS-related causes 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums Art Basel Unlimited, 2025

Apple's latest product is a glass statue with a 24k gold base for Donald Trump. Yeah, that's where we're at now www.theverge.com/news/737757/...

This is the urban transit system for a Swiss metro area of 1 million people, the same size as Rochester or Omaha.

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social is this the Berlin ally? lol

Ranked choice voting is a simple upgrade to the way we vote that gives voters more choices at the ballot box. Did you know that 5 Illinois municipalities have adopted ranked choice voting referenda? We're working on getting more! Learn more about us at fairvoteillinois.org!

Saw some speech about @leniann.bsky.social that I thought I’d improve with some additional speech.

More than two thirds of New Yorkers are tenants. Andrew Cuomo compared them to hotel guests. We need a Mayor who will bring our city together around an agenda to lower costs for everyone, whether they rent or own.

Mamdani's dad: We should seek to understand what motivates people to be suicide bombers. The modern political class: OMG AN ISLAMIST TERRORIST THIS IS TERRIBLE A cis white MAGA dude: *does a mass shooting* The modern political class: We should seek to understand what motivates these young men

Has there been a legal case yet to set legal precedent about whether companies are responsible for when their LLMs hallucinate dangerous lies yet? I would 100% sue if I were these guys

The law in its infinite wisdom bans trans and cis people alike from being trans

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.

What the fuck, this is legitimately terrifying, this is the language they use before they start rounding people up

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT. KOSA is vile & every single republican openly plans to weaponize it. blackburn straight up said it exists to “protect minors from the transgender in society” & 22 GOP attorneys general openly said, “yes, i *would* use it to go after abortion info.” KOSA IS A GIFT TO FASCISTS.

The Bulwark has posted and reposted this "Sacrifice the Filthy Trans for Real American Votes" piece a dozen times today. They are fucking *desperate* for this narrative to take hold, and judging by its reception among some, it's working. The consent machine for our elimination continues to churn.

partisan opposition to fascism is good; bipartisan consensus with fascism is bad. disagreement has no positive or negative value in itself; it depends on what you're disagreeing with!

Ds and Rs are very different on most issues. The issues where they have common ground, though, are generally ones where they've decided to unite around being horrible...like with supporting genocide in Gaza. or harming sex workers. or harming immigrants.

this is what the "trade deals" are gonna look like. bribes for trump, giveaways for the regimes that bribe him. Hail to the thief.

Bus Station, Bansko, Bulgaria | Yanchovichin & Dautov | 1980 r/brutalism

Consider the way we treat people who want to get rid of age of consent laws. Do we publish op-eds proposing that view in major newspapers? Do we produce humanizing documentaries about how they came to that belief? No. We laugh in their faces and tell them to shut up if they bring it up.

@leniann.bsky.social @andrefor40th.bsky.social I hope you're working against this

Lincoln Square Road Closure and Accompanying Comments From The Local Facebook Page (April 2025)

"It's time to fight everywhere and all at once" Pritzker says, blasting "the do nothing crowd" of Dems in response to Republicans: "We have to abandon the culture of incrementalism that has led us to swallow their cruelty and their callousness with barely a cowardly croak."
