I’m more of a free markets guy than a capitalism guy, but I suspect much of this shift is due to the unfortunate and incorrect association of both with Trump. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

This large Swedish study found no association between acetaminophen & autism using matched sibling controls. Also no dose-response effect. Ppl who use acetaminophen while pregnant differ in many ways from those who do not, & using sibling controls was a great way to reduce unmeasured confounding

ICYMI: Part One of my thoughts on how the “free speech culture” movement contributed to the moment of historical censorship www.popehat.com/p/how-free-s...

I really like this piece because I think the ways that the post internet "free speech" movement went wrong are a large part of how we got here and I think we should spend more time exploring that! I think there is another dynamic this created that isn't exactly in the 1st amendment purview.

So glad people are paying attention to the grant-and-deport regime

I normally like these videos, but the rural healthcare ones are so condescending and inaccurate, and then most the comments either think this is real or that it should be real, which is so infuriating considering what we are up against.

the biggest lesson of the last seventy-five years of politics is that the democrats should have done a lot more ratfucking

god dammit

periodically I see the president doing things like “post crimes for his attorney general to do that were maybe supposed to be an unencrypted DM on his own personal social network” and I remember that he got elected in large part because of information security practices and I black out in rage

i think"getting them to stay home" is an easier and more feasible objective than "getting them to change their minds"

📽️ WATCH: Epidemiologist Erin McCanlies spent much of the past 20 years studying how parents’ exposure to toxic chemicals affects the chances that they will have an autistic child.

First of all, lots of romance girlies are literally girls, sorry we don't come out of the womb having read Gramsci and second of all: fuck this gatekeeping shit

it's sort of fascinating how Nixon revisionism is basically fairly common with right "thinkers"

Philando Castille's 2nd Amendment rights were violated by racist police!

El pueblo unido jamás será vencido.

Word.

RIP to a champion of women's rights 😇

Wow Charlie Kirk seems so much more important to the Right than Donald Trump, his sons, or JD Vance.

The enshitification of boyfriends

If Trump ends up being the last GOP President (which I think is possible because I think there is a possible scenario in which the GOP collapses after Trump), Lincoln and Trump would be quite the bookends for the party’s presidents.

A modern-day Hamilton story would be infinitely more comprehensible to the average Blueskier if it cast Will Stancil in the title role

“Unhoused” I can see; like there’s a line to it. You’re trying to focus on something different. “houseless” vs “homeless” is trying to self-alienate so normies validate your priors by ignoring you because You Sound Weird. don’t want power want to endlessly critique power etc

I feel like the brown m&m kinda stole my vibe.

LOOKING EXTRA VIRILE SIR!

sorry, but this is so sick. i know everything is bad and we’re numb to it, but what the hell!?

is it possible that he is alive and we are all dead

Guys, have you seen the ads ICE has been airing in "sanctuary cities"? They're aimed at disgruntled cops—cops upset they've been "ordered to stand down"—trying to get them to quit and instead join ICE for a $50,000 signing bonus. www.reddit.com/r/Sacramento... www.reddit.com/r/TrueAnon/c...

Trump could shoot a guy on 5th Avenue and NYT would call it “challenging norms.”

A lot of women's health influencers and natural warrior mama types believe the same thing. I get a lot of weird anti-pill propaganda on my social media feeds.

Not enough people realize that the online right thinks birth control is a mind control drug

This works perfectly well for LOTR by the way, because it's telling a story in a very specific style and format, but it's pretty clearly true, and it's an interesting angle of analysis of the books.

Won a derby race with Vaniel today! Hybtrid pacificas might not be as fast as a derby cars, but they weigh 6000 lbs and can win if you drive like Bowser in Mario Kart. Might end up with some cosmetic damage.

It bums me out that Russell Brand's cynical right-wing turn in a panicked attempt to evade consequences for doing Sex Crimes.... just worked.

"Margaret S Barnes" here used to be "Carter P Hayes" and posted left leaning misinformation about Costco and abortion pills. This is an engagement farming account that plagiarizes and paraphrases posts from Reddit and here. Really seems like it should have been banned by now bsky.app/profile/joce...

The US is not one or two election cycles away from being OK even if they’re blowouts.

"I can't think of a single time I was told how long I would be in solitary confinement. You are simply taken there and expected to wait ... digging into the deepest corners of your mind. Which can often be dangerous, because the majority of people in solitary have extremely traumatic backgrounds."

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

This is what he says to everyone who gives him a boner.

So insightful 🥹

I honestly love this. Let's go!!!!

If they can rewrite his life so can we.

his secretary of health and human services doesn't believe in the germ theory of disease, routinely tortures and mutilates animals, and probably drove his ex-wife to suicide

he came to trump's attention by lobbying to pardon other war criminals, including a guy who decapitated a teenage civilian in front of his squad and whose own men fucked up his sights so he'd stop shooting random women. he belongs to a church which considers slavery and marital rape to be mandatory.

essentially every business he has ever been involved in is fraudulent. he preferentially does business with dictators. he sent thugs to threaten to kill a baby. pete hegseth stole money from veterans. he lies about being involved in war crimes. he's a serial rapist and domestic abuser.

one of the reasons they are invulnerable to criticism is that an entirely neutral description of their personal conduct, and their conduct in office, sounds like deranged slander.

The offer made to women in the enticement to become trad wives is the same as the offer made to citizens in the enticement to embrace authoritarianism: give up. Abandon the aspiration to self rule. It’s imprisonment recast as rest and relief.

donald trump is bad relative to 'we gave every convicted felon in the united states a slip of paper with a number on it, drew one of those numbers at 8 PM on the first tuesday in november, and declared the winner our new president.'
