Read the full thread. Damn it, Pterry! Said, as always, with enormous love and respect as well as wonder at the mind of the man.

smart politics here, this kind of corruption can still be tremendously toxic even in this day and age and you do want to get Republicans on the record voting on this thing rather than going "well, I don't know about that, that's the president's thing"

The good news: this wasn't a book intended to be read. This was a book intended to be put on a manager's desk to suggest that the manager can read.

I don't think folks younger than 30 know what the internet once legitimately promised to be (and I would argue briefly was): a boundary-less space of pretty much uncommodified information and communication. A mix between community bulletin boards and university library stacks.

Musk v Altman JUDGE: The jury has sent a question and the answer is no, the death penalty is not "available for both sides" please return to the jury room and limit your consideration to civil damages.

I suspect this is down to people trusting more or less contemporaries' accounts relying on at best half-remembered anecdote. Citing here Graves and Hodge The Long Weekend which refer to Yeats' rejuvenation op as 'monkey glands' rather than the more sober Steinach www.jstor.org/stable/29513...

Was he under the impression that nobody reads the Washington Post? #NYC #OnlyManhattanCounts #OkaySomePartsOfBrooklyn

This is a super important paper. Well done to the team!!!

Carcinization is real

A few years ago, a #meme circulated: If you had a warning sign, what would it be? I finally know. “Focused Elsewhere.” What would yours be?

You're entitled to your own opinion. You're NOT entitled to your own facts. #BelieveTheScience What he said 💯 👇 👇 👇

It’s shameful that it was only today that I realized that there are no constitutional amendments limiting our judicial branch. And that, in the wake of this long Roberts court, we are sorely in need of some.

hell yeah voice actors

Oh for crying out loud.

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

Today the Kindle ebook of THE SEVENTH BRIDE by @tkingfisher.com is on sale for only 99 cents. It's a well-written fairy tale by a smart, funny, original author who always has a twist up her sleeve. Highly recommended. And did I tell you about HEMLOCK AND SILVER? It blew me away. Read it now.

POV: inside your mind rn.

I read these words and I hear Bull Connor and George Wallace saying them.

my BFF just messaged me important information which, I think. that everybody needs to know

Someone in network has to personally know Charles Yu, right? Anyone willing to pass a message along to see if he’s willing to write a note to the teacher?

Amazing article. I did have a blacklight poster. It's long since vanished, but I remember it with fondness. share.google/rQPZ3OXkJxWq...

Trump proved he can still enforce discipline in a Republican primary. But Republicans are now drawing maximalist maps in Florida and Tennessee precisely as Hispanic and independent voters are moving away from the party. It is a dangerous assumption for a party that has so much to lose.

Will it disappear again? Will Mark Hamill? Will I?

Like @yvonnezlam.bsky.social , just being reminded that this exists makes me smile.

If you have pets and you have a will, make provision for your pets. Appoint a guardian. And if you don't have a will, make one. Too many elderly and bereaved pets end up in shelters. Picture for boost.

Take a look at the journalism Pulitzer Prizes: www.pulitzer.org/prize-winner.... They show why we absolutely need paid, professional news media. The stories that won or were finalists covered everything from for-profit psychiatric hospitals to the Los Angeles fires, including fire insurance scams.

Great thread about a pizza called a Volcano Dipper. The suspense is building as we wait to see how it looks in real life and whether it causes strange symptoms, such as garlic breath, cosmic enlightenment, or fourth degree burns. Stay tuned!

The Social Security office is spartan, even ugly. Dark grey floors, dirty white walls covered in signs. Worst thing is that we're all being glared at by a billionaire rapist wannabe dictator with dementia. His sidekick is smiling but his eyes are mean. The crowd is quiet, diverse, hopeful.

this is I think the key to the Trump magic a lot of his audience knows that he’s bullshitting but - importantly - feels that they are in on it

GOP - *gerrymanders* DEMS - hey stop that no fair GOP - *gerrymanders even more* DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely* DEMS - *start gerrymandering* GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭

"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now

Another lovely timeline cleanse.

We need all the irises we can find. BloomScrolling and timeline cleanse.

lol suck it.

It's beautiful.

Dear Target, Fuck you, fuck your racism, fuck your anti-LGBTQ posturing, fuck your nasty policies about customers with handicaps, and fuck your anti-fat bias. I used to enjoy shopping at Target. Now I refuse to set foot in the place. And did I mention fuck you?

what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

Virtually no geology professors share the widespread view that the earth is 6,000 years old. It can only be bias.

It's so bad they won't even brief Congress.

@kaydub.bsky.social, have you seen this?

I have yet to hear a non-racist reason anyone should care about "declining birth rates"

Ban this shit from your life. Seriously. Boycott. And keep away from your kids.

Today is Tax Day for US citizens. I'm grateful for the benefits that federal, state, and local taxes bring me: clean water, passable roads, libraries, scientific research, and so much more. This year I'm especially grateful that I finished and submitted my tax forms a week ago. #gratitude

babe, wake up, new form of mansplaining just dropped

What the actual—-? I don’t think VP Vance has any real idea about Catholic doctrine. Hint: the Pope gets to talk about theology. You get to listen.
