An infant died because an adult chose to be a selfish antivaxxer

We will never have a country if we continue to let these people destroy with impunity--from every branch of government to the private sector. all must be held to atone.

I am unbelievably lucky that neither I nor my immediate family depend on these programs. But i have extended family who do and I am afraid for them. We can support them, thankfully, but it's unforgivable that we tolerate a portion of the country trying to kill our most vulnerable day in and out.

One of these is not the same. "Recount familiar partisan complaints"

Also he bookends the opening:

Judge Young—who has been on the bench for as long as I have been alive—calls it the most important case he has ever considered.

AAUP v. Rubio is out, and look at how it starts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

At the same event, Hegseth said "We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country."

Chief Justice John Roberts's legacy. Carve it into his tombstone.

Fatphobia is used to police access to healthcare and public places. It is used to police who is worthy of being seen and who is not. It is used to harm and other. Unlearn it.

Aries: You only get one chance at life and what a terrible mess you’re making of it.

The professionalism that our most senior military commanders exhibited with their silence today despite repeated attempts by Hegseth & Trump begging them to please clap was encouraging, & should be an example to all troops when they try to exploit them for partisan politics. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Nothing says comedy like appearing at a show organized by the General Entertainment Authority.

When the revolution comes, there must be reeducation camps for Rick and Morty diehards or anyone who has ever quoted Rick and Morty. We will seize the streaming service records as evidence.

Chuck Schumer, in an hour from now: The president plans to flood the streets with military personnel to oppress innocent people, but what he should be flooding the streets with is tax credits for the middle class!

Fatphobia is part and parcel of transphobia, racism, ableism, and all other forms of bigotry. The difference is that so many of us have so deeply internalized our body composition as a measure of our worth. When people belittle, humiliate, and discriminate against fat bodies, it's a signal. It's

How many times does Trump have to promise to wage war on the American people before we call him the traitor that he is?

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

better than anything that will come from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social's office but also not strong enough.

This alone should get Hegseth a cell for life.

The reason we have rules of engagement isn’t to keep warfighters from killing our enemies. It’s to keep them from killing a farmer with a shovel bc they thought it was a rifle and didn’t bother to wait to check. Or a family in a car bc the driver looked nervous. Or a boat full of fishermen.

can't wait for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to say the most 3-ply baby powder soft freak loser shit in response to this

jesus fucking christ

The endgame for all of this is constructing a military that will obey orders when ordered to fire on citizens. That's the throughline to half of what Trump is doing.

Another example of right-wing propagandists watching a movie and not understanding its basic and most obvious point. Like I also thought Patton was the coolest guy ever when I was like 12. Then I grew brains

midtown drivers are undefeated at not knowing fuckall about how right of way works

Man…. Rage Against the Machine still hits

the generals getting an in-person taste of this shit up close may actually be worth the price tag.

You’ve got to be kidding me

"In the past, defying court orders would have disqualified a lawyer from consideration for a judgeship. But for Trump and the MAGA movement, it’s their ticket to ride."

SAG-AFTRA has released a statement on Tilly Norwood, the AI "performer," saying: “To be clear, 'Tilly Norwood' is not an actor, it’s a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers — without permission or compensation."

i cannot say the things i wish would happen today

This passage nearly broke me.

Me, a Gen Xer: did popular culture stagnate after the 90s or did I just get old? 2025 AI slop: Wal-Mart 20 years ago is my Rosebud.

“We can’t help poor people because that will help black people” is an unusually honest expression of Republican policy goals

David Cross folks.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

there is obviously a lot of really terrible stuff going on in the world right now that suggests there is a true moral rot within humankind, and the current rise of AI use does not seem coincidental to me

Werner Herzog voice: “I’ve seen movies, short films, completely created by artificial intelligence. Story, acting, everything. They look completely dead. They are stories, but they have no soul…They are empty and soulless.”

this is peak athletic performance

sorry I rant about AI so much but jfc these commercials are so depressing. they just had one where a woman is perusing flowers at a florist and asks her phone’s AI what kind of flowers they are and how often to water them. why can’t you ask *the person who works there*?!? am I having a stroke

Burn it all down

read my mind

me literally anywhere i don't have to mask:

Today in: Dude, you can’t fight market forces

that and the lizard woman's letting her nictitating membrane slip on accident
