Using lower level retail thefts to justify mass #surveillance infrastructure. This, in turn, adds to the network effect and further entrenches the technology! "If this sounds like state-funded asset protection for your depressing local shopping mall, that's probably by design" #deflock #alpr

‘The Powerpuff Girls’ creator Craig McCracken has posted a touching tribute to Tom Kane along with an illustration of Professor Utonium and Mr. Harriman: “I grew up without a dad, so it was important to me that the girls had the best one I could give them and that was Tom.”

Heads up. He is/was in a lot of starter packs, too, so check yours if you've made one so you're no longer recommending a rapist.

felt like there was not much reporting on Trump's investigation of Yale Med School, and the reporting that did exist undersold how batshit the investigation is I have attempted to remedy these errors ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

For anyone interested, I just started a petition to get anything created using generative AI disqualified from Eisner Award consideration moving forward. Please consider signing and sharing. www.change.org/no-ai-at-the...

Yeah, a block really should auto-unfollow somone, And force them to unfollow you. Like, we call it a nuclear block, but there are still some gaps. Anyway, if there's anybody you want to truly sever all ties from, unblock long enough to check if you were following them, if so unfollow, then re-block

No one, no matter how strong or wise or great, can rightly own and use another.

Thing is if you want Black people to stop assuming you want to replicate the racist implementation of the New Deal you have to make arguments that sound different from those of the racist New Dealers.

definitely gonna save this "Popeye" panel for future use, @choochoobear.bsky.social

A lot of y'all have it twisted. You think I'm against the GOP and pro Dem. I'm not. I'm against racism and transphobia and homelessness. I'm pro-immigrant, pro-women, pro-unhoused people. Conveniently for y'all, US racism often comes from the GOP, so it feels like I am "on your side." 🤷🏿‍♂️

Getting mogged by your judge is crazy

Everyone’s calendars are filling quick but just wanted to give you a heads up

This is a very good article about how to write responsibly about M/NVE (misanthropic nihilistic violent extremism). Please do read it, whether you’re a journalist by trade or just very Online.

Idk why this is making the rounds again but I said then and I’ll say it now, these people are fucking weird. This is a weird thing to say out loud and believe.

No darkness lasts forever. And even there, there are stars.

So incredibly fucked up. From superlative human and community member @codivore.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DYYE9xY... Also support @swaidcollective.bsky.social Also also, no world where I need to/do know who Clavicular is, is on good path.

Thinking about this extra hard because aquariums have to oay for their water, and I cant imagine the cost considering most of their exhibits involve water, but data center dont pay shit and pass the cost to consumers Just a wild organization of priorities

Woke 2.0 needs to include federal monuments to black Americans in every Confederate capital and Confederate city with a population larger than 50

As a Black person, my first reaction when faced with adversity is 'who else can I band together with to overcome this?' not 'EYE need to figure a way out of this alone.' I don't get the sense that this is the same for many white people in this country.

YES HELLO WHAT IS THIS

This is why the only Biden legacy that matters will be the second Trump presidency.

Bad news everyone, I'm here to ruin your day with this absolutely cursed painting in the Airbnb I'm staying at

Seat 1, no hesitation

But they were all of them deceived, for another leche was made...

this is correct. ive seen clinton, obama, and biden along with other failed dem presidential candidates all talking about the deficit like theyre fucking reaganites. the dem stance should be "big things need big government, the same government that landed on the moon and won world war 2."

I am here

I want to highlight this detail from our story: We at @autonomynews.co are first to report that, when the Fifth Circuit's decision was briefly in effect earlier this month, abortion providers in some states were advised not to even prescribe mifepristone in person.

Witness the POWER of this fully armed and operational Eggsy belly

“Mychal the Librarian, did you know that 3 of the 4 episodes of Reading Rainbow have over 1 million views on YouTube?!” No I did not, library kid 🥹 Thank you for telling me 🦋 📖 🌈

America is broken because more Dems who read this are trying to think of arguments to convince me and other Black people to vote for politicians that kill and lock up millions of Black folk... than are thinking of ways to convince white people not to run candidates that are so evil to Black folk 🙃🙂

Hey Black people! Vote Blue, no matter who! 🤡 Including these Dems that after all this, still vote to keep innocent Black people in jail. One of the best things I've ever done with my money, is get innocent people out of jail. No feeling like it in the world. Strong recommend. Would bail again!

so apparently british squirrels have been seen vaping and there is concern that swedish squirrels might also start doing this. anyway here’s pictures of squirrels vaping

You guys!!! 😍😍😍😍

Good news, everyone www.cnn.com/2026/05/14/h...

Bail is for people who haven't been convicted of a crime. This is voter disenfranchisement. This keeps eligible voters from voting & creates justifiable distrust of electeds among families, who then may not vote. When you blame your problems on non-voters, perhaps ask what disenfranchised them.

“When voters learn about Kennedy’s efforts to tear down these vital services for millions of American seniors and disabled people, they immediately shift their opinions against him by 26 points on net.” Read the full piece from Matthew Cortland here: www.dataforprogress.org/insights/202...

Why does disability policy matter? Medicaid is the program that pays for the home care services that allow disabled people — kids, adults, seniors — to live in their own homes, with their families, instead of being locked up in institutions. RFK Jr's attacks on home care are incredibly unpopular

I'm updating a presentation I have given several times and came across this note in it. I have said this every time I have had the chance to say it and I now get to update this section with HERE IS A STELLAR EXAMPLE OF HOW NOT DOING THIS COST PEOPLE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

It’s 2026, in Oklahoma has finally made child marriage illegal. Congratulations? Also WTF.

Good question from Fox News — with the Millionaires' Tax, we're paying for free school meals, child care, annual checks to 460,000 additional working families, the biggest small business tax cut in state history, and eliminating sales tax on diapers and other essentials.
