Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit. It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

Can someone show the White House Press Corpse a montage of the reporters who covered previous administrations, the ones who weren't complete cowards?

Using the belief that creators are the "petite bourgeoisie" to justify pirating books/stealing art is EXACTLY what makes it so hard for anyone who isn't rich to pursue their creative dreams If you steal our art, you PERSONALLY are preventing us from building sustainable careers

“Poor people have a right to art!” They sure do. So get to it.

Lmao

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

Retraction Watch has covered the problem of the “national IQ” database. Should be noted I’m far from alone in working to remove these publications. The spreadsheet of pubs which use NIQ - linked to in the article - was started by @kohngregory.bsky.social; a project also worked on by Cathryn Townsend

It's not this platform. It's all of society that hates AI

Fleetwood Mac 's "Silver Springs" is a trending sound right now at least on Insta, and people are using it for ... their wedding videos and getting brunch with friends. they hear "you won't forget me" and go "awww 🥹" 🫠 You don't even need to know the background, just actually listen to the song

Some of you really like bringing soft, empty thinking to the virtual doorstep of one of the smartest scholars working. It’s FASCINATING.

I knew @jm-slal.bsky.social was husband material when he downplayed his height instead of exaggerating it.

My wokest opinion is that socialized Healthcare shouldn't stop at humans. Healthcare for animals, not just farm animals and pets, should be publicly funded as well.

A package hasn't "shipped" if you've only "created the label"

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last tv show you watched are coming to rescue. They've rescued people from kidnappings multiple times. I trust them.

forgot about how I kinda used this trope in DELUSION OF SELF www.grantpiercy.com/delusion-of-...

"Crime is stored in the balls" -the apparent ruling class

Asmongold gamifies harassment by goading his audience into targeting developers and celebrating when they get fired. This stuff doesn’t happen in secret.

Any time corporate executives are in a room together and don't know they're being recorded, the transcript is like: "Christ, I hate our customers. We're agreed that we all hate our customers? Let's lie to the IRS, criminally. Did I mention the Holocaust never happened? Put more lead in our soda."

Look at this sassy diva:

it is true that trump sucks and is shitty, but it is also true that he is incredibly susceptible to the jangling of keys, and it is wild that no democrat until Mamdani has figured this out

@sherlockhomo.bsky.social Happy Birthday!!!!

Happy #Caturday!

Good old Woz. Good for him.

You can say ICE is being used as a political cudgel to demolish democracy, or you can recognize that’s all they ever have been since their inception.

so, so good. run it as a political ad.

Residents of Charlotte are chasing ICE agents through the woods. It’s unclear if ICE ended up walking through the woods bc their vehicle tires were flattened (by the cold air) 😭💀 #Solidarity

the sooner most people realize white supremacy and rape culture are intertwined, the better. disgusting humans.

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

This is Cole. He is a deaf service dog at Dr. William Mennies Elementary School. He just turned 9, and all of his students learned sign language to sing him happy birthday at a massive party. 14/10 for all (IG: colethedeafdog)

This story is nuts. "ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply."

She ignored the question, but here’s the answer: The Trump admin doesn’t think that a swastika is a hate symbol.

I love it when boys come together online to celebrate the accomplishments of women. What an honor to have earned a PhD in 2025 and to receive such positive support from the online community.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

BUBBA WAS A HORSE?!

I don’t care if people dislike Meghan Markle; I don’t know her and am not protecting her. My issue is how incredibly angry they get about her, practically frothing at the mouth. Everything she says and does (which is usually quite bland and safe), they act as if she’s just insulted their child.

We got a reservation at Cinderella's royal table for our Orlando trip, but couldn't get dinner rezzies.

I've been saying 'Judeo-Christian' is an empty signifier for years, a sop to 'acceptable' Jews post-Holocaust as (begrudgingly) part of American society, finally welcome on the golf courses, so I guess the ultranationalist right-wing evangelical Christians are now ripping that fig leaf straight off

Turning into my father one "the problem is no one reads enough books these days" grumble at a time

“Are the fae open source?” is such a terrifying question in so many ways.

i try not to get too upset about the way the attention economy moves because i know i do it too but the federal goons never left. they went from 10 raids a day to 1-2 because they don’t have the capacity to do this shock and awe campaign nationwide. but they’re still here

I guess one difference between me and Elon Musk is that, if I was gaming an AI to say these things about me, and everyone could see that I had done this, I'd have simply no choice but to set myself on fire.

I believe with all I am that Trump has regularly talked to women that way for his entire adult life when there were no cameras, but the fact that he let himself say it in front of a camera this time... he's falling apart.

some type of shit you’d make 2 years ago making fun of rightwingers

Speaker Johnson is already laying the groundwork for massive redactions in the Epstein files. He lies so easily it barely looks like effort.
