My "not involved in sex trafficking" press conference has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the press conference

Love this video from @hankgreen.bsky.social - beautiful photos made all the more beautiful when you understand what's going on youtu.be/oaXRREHVkHo?...

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Maybe don't call deciding not to commit genocide "chickening out"

ALL of this, let’s get onto it NOW www.greaterauckland.org.nz/2026/04/07/w...

I didn't know Artemis 2 was happening, and I have to say it's been a pleasant distraction from everything else.

I'd like to make a retraction: it seems "no-one is claiming anyone who disagrees with them is a nazi" is only true if you round down.

You'll find one in every car

Everyone responding is like "of course I want twice as much of the thing I like with no loss of quality"

So how long until Bondi has a show on MSNBC?

History can illuminate the present, but it cannot predict the future.

We will not be erased, especially on #TransDayOfVisibility.

Instructional knot tying videos: Ok I'm going to go slowly. FIrst you cross the ropes like this, and then you just... *swirls hands around* And then you pull it tight. Now let's see that again from a camera that's in the same room.

the most surprising part is that the mascot (both the drawing mockup and the 3rd model) are NOT AI generated 💀

I feel betrayed by Trump. But if Democrats keep using terms like “unhoused” and “Latinx” I will have no choice but for a vote for him for the fourth time in 2028.

Q: You don’t regret that people might’ve lost important income to support their lives? A: No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit. Q: Ok. Did you reduce the federal deficit? A: No, we didn’t.

Q: “So, hundreds of millions of dollars in grants were terminated from the NEH. The deficit didn’t change much. And you were paid $150,000 to do that job of reducing the deficit. Do you feel like the $150,000 paid to you was wasteful spending?” A: *Laughs, frowns….long pause*

250 years is a nice round number. Seems like as good a time as any to wrap this thing up.

I have emailed but if anyone can reach Stuff more quickly that would be great. This is misinformation - a correction needs to be issued, an apology given, and a process put in place so this doesn’t reoccur. It is unacceptable and negligent this has been up for a full day during a health crisis.

omg how had i never seen that it's so good

I was born to be a sicky Victorian intellectual dilettante, yet here I am in the 21st century hustling instead. I make a podcast covering the global rise of the radical right, and wrote a book on keeping your kid out of fascism. Here's my patreon:

This Professor Jiang guy is blowing up for predicting Trump would attack Iran, but who the fuck is he? His YouTube channel says he's teaching high schoolers in Beijing, but the lectures are in English? It's very strange content for a high school curriculum. Also, holocaust denial?

If I don't write it down I will forget it. If I do write it down I will probably forget it.

Don't pull the alarm just yet, the fire might go out on its own.

Almost more annoying than actual AI slop is when the comments of almost every video accuse it of being AI. It's fake skepticism. No-one actually checks sources or attempts to verify their hypothesis, they just see something slightly off and jump to a lazy conclusion.

Still stuck in my head. This is just my life now, humming Take On Me everywhere I go.

18/ Justice Jackson continues to strike me as a jurist out of time. As someone who listens to a LOT of Supreme Court oral arguments, I am confident that she is the smartest person on the bench by a wide margin. I also infer a sense of optimism; a justice who wants to right this sinking ship.

Now would be a good time to end the British monarchy.

I've had "Take on me" stuck in my head for a few days now, so I'm listening to a playlist of covers. I don't know if this will cure me or drive me batty. Wish me luck.

Not for noncing, alas.

Nonce Andrew arrested! On his birthday! www.bbc.com/news/live/c7...

Remember, you only get one shot, so do not miss your chance to blow this opportunity.

So, it looks like the new DfE guidance on trans students in schools incorporates recommendations from the Cass report. Suffice to say that is an *incredibly awful* decision. Here's a thread with my analysis of Cass on social transition from back in 2024.

Here in New Zealand when we got civil unions, our PM at the time Helen Clark was quite open that it was about numbers, and she would support same sex marriage if she had enough votes. You don't have to pander to accept compromise. You can state what you believe, and I think people respect that.

"Tell me right now, would you pull the lever?!?" yells the person tying people to the tracks. I dunno, man, I think maybe we have time to untie everyone. "Yes, but IF they're still there, will you pull the lever?!?" they yell as they sabotage the brakes on the trolley.

I hate being reminded that Rupert Murdoch is still alive

"should the government kidnap 5 year olds and deport them? We asked seventeen ethics professors and they all just screamed"

Calling out around the world, are you ready for a brand new dance? Summer’s here and the time is right for booing JD Vance

This is an astonishingly negative framing. ADHD folks have been screaming for this because there simply aren't enough psychiatrists and half of them think we're all faking. ADHD is not a mental health condition, it's a neurodevelopmental disorder.

Yes, I read the comments on porn videos, and one that comes up often is "That's someone's daughter!", apparently not realising that she is also "someone" in her own right. You can, in fact, empathise with women directly, rather than imagining a father to empathise with.

This is way cool!

New Northern Boys just dropped! youtu.be/SwPaq8gOtmg?...

Remember, folks, sleeping with your fans can have unintended consequences!

it's the big day

"We told you so" discourse is tiresome, but for the record I remember warning that if Dems didn't change strategy, we would end up with Trump 2. "Redistance lib" became a pejorative not because resistance is bad, but because of a stubborn unwillingness to see Trump as a symptom of a deeper rot.

Bad mental health day. Probably best just to go to bed.

Forget it, Mike, it's Chattertown.

The second paragraph is the one that shocks me. As if a protest is not peaceful if you do any actual protesting.
