You cannot mount an attack on stuff like the raw milk or the screw worm without a robust defense of government regulations / public workers, so here we are.

Jay Clayton went on national TV Monday to spread Trump's lies about California's ballot counting, falsely claiming it creates an "opportunity for fraud." Now Trump is nominating him to lead the nation's intelligence community. 👇

the rosetta stone to all american politics is "conservatives are the only real americans, no one else's opinion is valid" it sounds insanely conspiratorial and self serving on its face but apply it to any situation in this country politically and tell me it doesnt fit

I just want everyone to know that every single day 5 million people tell @bencollins.bsky.social that it's hard to differentiate between The Onion and real news now. Every day. Every hour. Every single time a new person talks to him. And honestly, I can't blame them with this one.

woke up early so I could have mini apple pies when it hit 92 this afternoon

"But is this good or bad? We’ll leave that question to the historians." Historian here: it's bad.

You might be thinking to yourself, “Wow, what a stupid idea.” But as someone who flies drones for a living, I can assure you the idea is even dumber than you believe.

This is going to be such a good learning experience for Europeans about why air conditioning is in fact life-saving and not a frivolous luxury

Amivantamab is now being evaluated in about 60 clinical trials, primarily for lung cancer, but also for colorectal, brain and gastric cancers.

Researchers have hailed “unprecedented” trial results that show a triple-action cancer injection can eradicate entire tumors in patients. In an international trial spanning 11 countries, the injection was offered to patients whose cancer had spread or come back and whose disease had failed to

There should be a movie where a dad bursts into a teenagers bedroom and is like “what is this?! MeUndies?! Stamps dot com?! No son of mine is going to be a podcaster!!!!” and then the kid is like no papa I yearn to pod

this could work, but only if you also incorporate the blockchain and Web 3.0 somehow. maybe they could find screwworm in the metaverse. give me 20 billion dollars

The way he says “the NYPD is just … awesome” is so tellingly juvenile. As befits a plumber nepobaby with no military service who tries to talk like he just finished with the SEALS.* Which I say less to mock (tho that too), and more as a reason I’m not so doomery: our fascists are cosplayers.

oh they are truly thorough in their analysis! My favorite by far is "Parry Hotter and the 6 Figure Book Deal" by @sesmith.lol

(5/5) In effect, the USPS would be regulating elections and who gets to vote. The result: If YOU rely on mail voting, you could be disenfranchised. The USPS is accepting public feedback until July 2, 2026. Check out the link below for more information on how to fight back ⤵️

More coup stuff

🧵 (1/5) 📬 Under a new Trump administration proposal, your mail-in ballot could be rejected before it ever reaches you. The Postal Service would be required to turn away ballots from states that don’t hand over voter data to the federal government.

Without feminism to turn to in the face of misogyny, the women at Turning Point USA’s women’s conference were finding sisterhood through grievance with the woke left. https://bit.ly/4ok4dOK

If we get a chance to rebuild, what if we don't just re-build the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, but a more inclusive Corporation for Public Media, supporting @npr.org, @wikipedia.org, and non-profit social media like @blackskyweb.xyz, @transrights.northsky.social, and @eurosky.social

It blew my mind that people lived out of their phones. I knew how the gov tracked everything, the data loop holes, everything. You couldn't communicate this to a regular person without sounding insane. 2014-2020 was a DARK period of tech degradation and consolidation we're seeing the effects of now.

Love me some post consumer capitalism, where us paying for stuff isn't what companies want.

I just want to be able to have nice silly things, from time to time, without becoming further complicit in the oppression and death of myself or someone else

It’s not really surprising that people are becoming more distrustful and cynical about tech (and everything else) when there’s a constant drumbeat of stories, like this, about a seemingly innocuous game/tool/website harvesting data that is then used for murderous purposes:

In the pre-surveillance capitalism era, you just did not have to worry about if playing a Pokémon game on your GameBoy was actually supporting the development of deadly military tech psychologically, I don’t think it’s good you now absolutely do have to worry about this with most any tech device.

And honestly: anyone who visits the foodandcooking.middlekingdoms.com site, or the site at https://mind-palate.com, should never doubt that the best part of these operations is *eating the props.* 😄

One of the hardest things to get traction on for me professionally has always been That while being harassed online sucks for me ? The thing I always worry about when I am being harrassed is what is happening to people closer to them. Who am I being used to teach a lesson to

There is too much focus on Musk and too little focus on how British politics and media have created the conditions for the pogroms in Belfast. Yes, Musk and X should face consequences but it‘s too easy the externalize the reasons for an empowered far right.

“‘Maybe this is just the end,’ ChatGPT told her, according to the lawsuit.”

My gf has roped a load of churches into getting their members to collect a load of food that can then be distributed to those who need it across Belfast. Many are afraid to leave their houses, even to get food. People have been delivering food to strangers since this started.

Mama said I needed to put my toys away when I'm done playing so I became one of the toys instead. Problem solved. #cats #BlueskyCats #gato #adoptdontshop #fosterkittens #DMV #adoptme
