the only thing musk should be remembered for

Despite everything, it’s still me.

This is a story about how America’s world-leading cancer and dementia research system was destroyed by frauds and naifs who broke the law. There must be consequences.

It was a busy Saturday… 😹😴😽🫶

@linkara.bsky.social @caseyexplosion.bsky.social mind giving my girl Nyssa another boost? She's apparently out of food again and dealing with other probelms as well. She needs $590 ASAP. If anyone can help or donate it would mean a lot.

Mamdani meets with Trump to get stuff for his constituents and Bluesky jizzes all over him as a political genius. Gretchen Whitmer did the same thing and everyone hated her.

"She was sort of a modern-day political version of Hunter S. Thompson (gonza?)" GONZO. Gonzo journalism. It was bad when it was in style, but can you at LEAST check to see if you know what you're talking about, Christ.

Just a little FYI from @jaywillis.net

I know people who have, essentially, two person news rooms because private equity gutted their companies, and volunteers who put out papers because rural news doesn't sell. The largesse in so much mainstream media is sickening.

This is hopefully the last thing I'm going to move along about Olivia Nuzzi. What a depressing chain of events for reporting.

America 2025.

one of the underrated factors for the rise in scamming across U.S. society is the death of local media.

In a profession where the most prominent journalists are increasingly jockeying for position on the best-seller lists and talk show circuits, you'd think one of them would've figured out that punching the bully back would be the most effective way to distance themselves from the pack.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Chabria: 'Quiet, piggy' wasn't a joke. It's a dangerous invitation to violence

I like the organization but I am so tired, and this is so shit, so stressful, and honestly, I could be working with other people that actually appreciate how I write. The only reason I haven't quit is because we aren't close to formal Board requests.

Trying to work with a non-profit, and getting my head chewed off for a suggestion, and then finding out I was going to have to submit an article I didn't write?

It's Angry Gato!! I painted thislil menace this week. Got lots of weird cat stuff up on my website www.angrygatodesigns.com and of course you can check out my upcoming Ask the Cats oracle at www.angrygatodesigns.com/kickstarter Love the Thursday cat show 😍

Of all the terrible things Roberts has done, this was the most shocking stat: "the right-wing majority has used the shadow docket to uphold Trump’s actions roughly 90 percent of the time, repeatedly bailing him out of any obligation to follow the law"

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

If you're wondering why a large chunk of ostensibly left-of-center pundits are waging war on environmental protections in the form of an "abundance agenda," it's because Silicon Valley has quietly developed a culture of rampant pollution.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

This TDoR, I'm thinking about Elisa Rae Shupe, who died by suicide in January of this year. It's been hard for me to think about Elisa; she did what she did because she believed it would call national attention to a crisis, and it didn't. Stay alive, because death saves no-one, especially not you.

I really think "push button=happens now" has extremely damaged society, but like, I'm at work as sorting out my thoughts will take time. The above thought is already kind of messy.

I'm constantly reminded of a previous Obama Press Secretary who said, "Don't lie. Lying is hard". It turns out lying is super easy if you have no morals or patriotism. BUT.

In 2028 I will vote for whoever will send Stephen Miller to The Hague.

“And I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”

It seems the pay is great but I don’t think there’s enough money in the world to make it worth having your entire identity be “whiny loser bigot”

J6er Jake Lang got punched yesterday in Dearborn, Michigan during his anti-Muslim march.

the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

all cats who did not voluntarily sit down in a cup of yogurt today, please stand up. not so fast, Freya.

SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job. It was staged by her + a friend. Van Drew isn't named in the complaint but I've confirmed w/ his office.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

The Epstein story isn't about "elites," and it isn't about patriarchy; it's about how they both intersect, so that elite men get custom bespoke industrialized child abuse, as opposed to the poors, who have to make their own at home.

The authoritarian threat is serious, and people should take it seriously. AND the threat is under-resourced and full of incompetents who got their job because they put breaking the law for Trump above personal integrity or fear of consequences. Push the regime beyond its limits and it'll break.

I would not, personally. www.cbc.ca/music/ac-new...

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.

There’s one person squarely to blame for Trump’s corruption, authoritarianism & assault on democracy: John Roberts. He’s enabled so much of Trump’s lawlessness while somehow escaping accountability for it New cover story from @pemalevy.bsky.social & me www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Quick question: what the fuck is anyone talking about anymore

Happy 40th birthday to Bill Waterson’s ‘Calvin and Hobbes’. A work of consummate, stubborn, human, and more-than-human art.

at any time the press corps could have stood up for each other. trump needs them - formal legacy news outlets - more than they need (to be in the room with) him. but it's been years now, almost a decade, and no reason to think they'll start doing it now. disappointing.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me
