I can't say I've seen a rhino play before, this is adorable!

"Paywalled" is the word you're looking for. They didn't turn it off. The only thing that changed is X now explicitly makes money off CSAM.

Forgot to update for my first Russian session of the year. I think if I didn't feel the pressure of expectations from having such a good JP lesson, my perspective on this would be different, so I'll just say, it also went very well! My tutor said she could really notice a difference too. 😊 #langsky

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

It's wild because the discussion was children getting shot at schools. Now it's parents too. (And obviously it was always this way for black families.) And no matter who is getting shot, the government still won't take action to stop it. In fact, they've only increased our chances.

Remember, Elon Musk has sued other journalists for daring to question advertisers why they remain on X.

I'm trying not to get frustrated at my ADHD with me jumping from interest to interest lately. I was doing tempera paint art a couple weeks back, then junk journals after that, now I'm making keychains/phone charms with beads, but then I saw a colored pencil tutorial & my brain is fixated on that...

"Top Democrats" are the cobuilders of ICE and that makes them just as responsible for Good's murder. Start confronting them. Make them vow to abolish ICE. Those who refuse are to be primaried.

A Blue Jay heading on out.

This is definitely worth celebrating. Now to put pressure on the Senate to also pass a clean 3-year extension of health care tax credits, which is what the vast majority of Americans want.

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

I'm late to the game, but damn, all the money we've spent, wasted, on Vital Farms' eggs when they're not actually humane is really frustrating. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrVX... (26 min) tl;dw The only ethical/healthy egg options are from local pasture farmers. NOTHING in grocery stores.

Make it viral.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

I eagerly await the day when I can passively consume and enjoy media in Russian. My end goal is conversation, but on a quiet night, it'd be nice to be able to read a book or watch something and like...understand enough of it lol #langsky

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

this was also consensus opinion for center-right types after george floyd’s murder five years ago. the state media apparatus will be working overtime the next few weeks to reprogram them

Right leaning people are inherently selfish. They’re incapable of feeling empathy in the abstract. That’s why they’re right leaning. But every right leaning person who admits this is not ok is helpful in turning the tide.

Be like Daniel. Have your New Years resolution be to tell any NYTimes “journalists” who approach you to eat a metaphorical dick

if you do not want to watch the video, go to settings > content and media and uncheck the "autoplay videos and gifs" box right now

ICE agents should live in constant fear for their lives. I am generally anti-violence but these ICE cronies need to be stopped by any means necessary. This administration is so evil that I am sadly starting to believe the only way to stop them is through extreme means. 😞

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

We aren’t doing enough to stop this. Any of us. So what should we do? Mass protests in streets? Boycotts of MAGA-affiliated companies? Demand Dems shut down government until threats stop? Let’s figure this out because we can’t just sit here passively watching.

More Japanese firms have embraced the four-day workweek recently. The company 600, which operates automated workplace convenience stores, offers all employees Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays off.

A Washington Post article suggests that, beyond a certain threshold, larger homes don't make people happier. Instead, well-being is correlated with affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods where they feel socially connected. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

All hail the blobs!

this might be the most illegal thing he’s ever done

The Fujoshi Dollar is one of the strongest under utilized markets and has repeatedly shown to be recession proof. If you put hot gay guys being romantic in stuff people show up. Have a little faith.

If your resolution this year is to support more independent bookstores, hi!👋🏽 We’re Bookshop.org, an ethical alternative to Amazon for buying books online where every purchase supports indie bookstores all over the U.S. 😌📚 (And our CEO has never gone to space, just saying)

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

This is Peanut. His name isn't Peanut because he's small. It's because he is a lethal threat to a significant portion of the population. Still 13/10 (IG: peanut_tacoterrier)

Coming up with a thesis that japan is on delayed anglosphere politics

baffled to learn that government can actually just hire some guys to fix a thing

That’s right!

do your job and stop losing elections to literal nazis

The rise of deepfakes and AI CSAM prove public and private sectors don’t actually care about abuse, but still punish sex workers, queer people, and women under that guise. Credit cards companies and law enforcement punish consensual sex and sexuality, but ignore and therefore encourage abuse

I'm re-reading Holes (日本語で) and I can't get over how much the book holds up. I got to THEM in the book last night and MY HEART omg. 😭 It tears me apart every time. #booksky

You know, I am so happy that 6 and 7 were able to have a healthy relationship in 2025. Back in my day 6 was afraid of 7.

I imagine that part of the reason which the fascist movement in the US has been so determined to sabotage education and whitewash history, is so the people won't have any frame of reference to understand what's happening right now all around them.
