Did a new one

“what point was he trying to make” feels like a pretty obvious follow up question

With the AWS outage, now‘s as good a time as any to post this old strip.

"... the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion ..." A treaty begun by Washington, signed by Adams and ratified by a Senate filled with many of the same people who drafted the Constitution.

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

After adding new data to our spreadsheet, our central estimate of turnout for the No Kings Day protests yesterday has risen to 5.5 million, with an upper bound of 8.7 www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

Millions march against the fascism the #BrokenTimes is blind to. It now refuses to count their numbers and it muffles their voices in small, BTW headlines. This is not journalism.

Such extremism! So much terror!

This is a beautiful story

"White people have come to see victimhood as a kind of currency — something you can accumulate, trade, and spend politically."

My mom texted me with a picture of her at one of the No Kings protests. Her first protest ever. The normies have awakened.

all these people protesting today in groups of a few dozen on the main streets of small towns in deep red Trump country - where they will absolutely take shit from their neighbors about it at church tomorrow or at work on Monday or next time they go to the grocery store - are braver than the Marines

Hello from Broadview ICE facility, where approximately 300 protesters have gathered to protest, as they do every day Things are tense and hard to parse. County Police surrounding some vehicles. Absolutely massive number of cops down the street. Peaceful, but I'm not sure that's gonna matter 🧵

"Technologies purchased by ICE in recent weeks include spyware that can hack into smartphones remotely and cellphone location software that can enable the tracking of a phone’s movements without a court warrant..." www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Yup

Five years ago, I made a video essay for Persons Day, exploring the problematic, complicated and vital legacy of the Famous 5. I haven’t shared it on Bluesky before. So on this Persons Day, here it is from my archives! #PersonsDay #FamousFive #yeg #yow #SenateofCanada #cdnpoli #Alberta #Vriend

So, the official White house page is blocked by 259,855 users via lists. In three hours.

They came pre-blocked on a list for me. But always good to check manually.

Anyway, block, ignore, talk football.

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

All you have to do is look at the first post of all of these accounts to see THEY ARE HERE TO TROLL. Don’t take the bait. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck. Women only want one thing, and it's a vintage Unimog!

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck. Women only want one thing, and it's Wonder Woman's plane.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

I did this, took like 30 min. Points I kept hammering: domestic cloud, regulations around copyright and likeness rights, focusing on machine learning with concrete, real world uses (creating new drugs, etc), the damage done by slop, the need to listen to AI experts who are realists, not boosters.

A 3,000-pound, 17-foot-long "DEMOCRACY" ice sculpture is melting away on the National Mall today, a statement from activists and artists on the weakened state of American democracy under the Trump administration. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

Trump: I want to thank Stephen Miller I would love to have him come up and explain his true feelings. Maybe not his truest feelings. That might be going a little too far

Watch this before going to a protest.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces. This is truly terrifying.

Researchers pointed a satellite dish at the sky for 3 years and monitored what unencrypted data it picked up. The results were shocking: They obtained thousands of T-Mobile users' phone calls and texts, military and law enforcement secrets, much more: www.wired.com/story/satell... 🧵👇

John Oliver is what liberals imagine Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert to be — a genuine critic of America’s systemic failures who stands up for trans people and other marginalized groups, while actually offering real actions and hopeful solutions.

I've always said this, but since last November, I've been pointing this out frequently in whatever venues to whatever audiences I can: "The planet NASA studies most is Earth."

TV's @frankconniff.bsky.social included this scathing polemic in the pictured #humor book and this kind of thing is one reason I'm still a devoted fan after 35 years. You can be funny and also STAND FOR SOMETHING, and especially in these terrible times everyone should. 🖖💙Thanks! #MST3K #comedy

Thrilled to have two years' of work out, in a pair of papers led by @gradientrider.bsky.social and @maxecharles.bsky.social. We've built a data-driven calibration of the James Webb Interferometer to near its fundamental limits for high-res imaging - explainer at @aunz.theconversation.com!

“Restructuring” because the Whitehouse and their allies choose destruction of all the good parts of the United States federal government because it won’t make them a personal profit. Also, they hate science, people who do good things for everyone instead of for them only, and actual reality.

Miss Major has passed. One of the best of that generation of trans women of colour who started our fight.

Cuz sharing is caring and resource secrecy is for dweebs: For the past week, I've been starting my mornings by doing a lesson from this ridiculously comprehensive Godot Action RPG tutorial. It's amazing. Dude basically teaches you how to make Legend of Zelda: LTTP. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Genuinely incredibly column answer

I don't know how many times to point out that is absolutely ghoulish and non-consensual and disgusting behavior. To exploit the image of a dead woman who was also exploited in real life so you can live out your momentary fantasies of "what is possible" with AI is bad science journalism, also. Sick.

I've started testing PS3 games to see if online multiplayer still works. Here are my results so far. I'll update this post as I try more!

This. And this again.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't
