Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

Reminder that the Butlerian Jihad was not just “AI bad” but also “the people who built and own the machines meant to control and replace us must burn for humanity to survive.” Anyway some dune lore apropos of nothing

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists

The racial profiling case is the first step in unraveling the civil rights act. That's all.

WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

That part. They don't actually care about men's mental health they just use it as a talking point to shut women up. In any other context they'd be mocking men who are suffering.

When I worked on The Office, Greg Daniels had a list of questions he asked of every story. Some were show-specific (eg “Are we saying something truthful if exaggerated about office life?”), but many are applicable to any script. Here’s a little thread on them… 🧵1/X #Scriptsky #Screenwriting

It is no comfort to tell someone who is struggling that others have it worse. At best, you add guilt to their worries. At worst, you invoke wider despair. A true warrior knows not to borrow trouble, and to help your comrades, not add to their burdens.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Fundamentally Trump is trying to convert America into a dictatorship, where he issues orders, and then they become law, either because everyone ignores the other laws, or because they are affirmed and validated by a completely compliant Supreme Court and Congress.

OH JESUS HENRY CHRIST. Apparently it's only the adult zebras who make the weird "orgasming geese" sound. Baby zebras on the other hand are something different and vaguely Satanic. Listen at your own risk.

I remember numerous people telling on themselves over the last month about their knowledge of the health care system we have by claiming, "Don't blame insurance companies, it's the doctors!" Welp- www.wsj.com/health/healt...

You have to marvel at the message discipline

Today is a rough, scary day. It's hard to feel helpless. So when I do, I try to do something good, however small. My friend Ryan lost his job while caregiving for his mother, who has undergone chemo & a quadruple bypass. Can u share & donate if u can? ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-car...

Ohio has basically defacto banned trans healthcare for adults using a similar strategy to why there was only a handful of abortion clinics in the entire Midwest before the Dobbs decision (TRAP laws) cis people please repost this so this info doesn't get stuck in the queer social bubble

If we really jumped timelines, awesome shit should be happening too. By now Kristi Yamaguchi would be married to Anthony Scaramucci, they would’ve hyphenated their names and had a baby name Poochi.

Reminder: there's a Nationwide Emergency Alert Test on Wednesday & any phone that's on, even on silent, WILL make a loud sound. As others have pointed out, sometimes abused individuals keep phones hidden as a lifeline. It's important they know this is coming. Deets: www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

PSA: the CDC has a program that pays for your COVID vaccine if your insurer won't. The guy at CVS told me that my insurer had not added the new vaccine to its formulary yet, so I'd need to pay $190. I told him about this program, showed him the website, and paid nothing. 🤗

companies programmed us to refer to art, music, video, and writing as "content" to make it seem like it comes from the website and not from a person who had to think of it and make it

Why Elon Musk's promotion of vicious, relentless bigotry against Jews and trans people like his daughter is not about "free speech." This is the best metaphor I've seen for the garbage fire that X has become. [gift link] www.nytimes.com/2023/09/10/o...
