Rowling is so relentlessly transphobic on twitter that even elon got uncomfortable and asked her to tone it down already. This wasn't just a one-off: her hatred of trans folks is her daily, irrational, intrusive obsession. Her comments are unhinged, inhumane and divorced from reality.

i can't believe a representative of the Vatican openly pondering whether someone should be burnt at the stake in 2026 and my answer is, "Yes absolutely, do it slow." legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2026/03/1...

The Empire Strikes Back (1980): Making the battle of Hoth

Accurate regarding MAGA

If you are traveling to or through Hong Kong, here is a new thing to consider when you are deciding whether or not to take your devices with you and how you should set them up.

Younger people won't believe this, but the Republican Party used to complain that Barack Obama was too self-centered.

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

This is a legitimately great idea. Turn every ICE concentration camp into a museum of their crimes and the people who fought against them.

I AM the dark matter. I am the only dark that matters.

"I grant you one wish," the magic fish said. "To eat my mother's pancakes again, just like when I was a child." "Are you sure?" "You think it frivolous?" "No. But to grand it I must send you back to the child you were, with no adult memories." "Would my life change?" "You ask that every time."

The happiness of this blind little dog when she was adopted is indescribable . 😍

"sign their very first check" Bro. You could have used an example more salient to the modern world, like "sign away their rights to sue their employer by agreeing to an arbitration clause for all clauses."

H/t to @scalzi.com and The Bloggess for the notice. Here's the original list of banned & restricted books in New Braunfels. Includes many classics these kids will be expected to know for AP exams and college. Includes a book by Dubya, even. Wild. drive.google.com/file/d/16_e6...

A Texas school district has banned HOW LONG TIL BLACK FUTURE MONTH, along with over 1500 other books. Mine was kicked bc it's labeled for adults, which is true. But so are every one of my books, which are available in most schools. That's the only one with "Black" in the title, tho.

the speedrunning community was as toxic and as much of a boys club (if not more) as many others not too long ago, and the transition to it being a more queer-positive and inclusive event wasn't inevitable. GDQ's shift has been really meaningful and it's a lesson for what a lot of other spaces can be

The DOJ reportedly just agreed to pay Trump crony Michael Flynn $1.2M to settle a wrongful prosecution lawsuit. It's complete bullshit. He broke the law and pleaded guilty and now he's ATMing from the US Treasury. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Cue @radleybalko.bsky.social

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.

Governor, there are ICE agents kidnapping kids and their parents outside schools. This is embarrassing and you should be embarrassed to have posted it.

ICE locks tens of thousands of detainees nationwide in a network of 170 "hold rooms" spread across 49 states, which are forbidden from containing beds. Today, we are publishing location and detainee information about all 170 facilities. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/03/excl...

As we’ve reported on sexual misconduct by OB-GYNs, many women told us they didn’t know what was normal. With the help of providers, patients and experts, we created this guide.

I used to work for NOAA. Which is basically NASA but for the oceans and atmosphere. Same exact thing. They have left nothing but wreckage. And every single damn person who voted for that monster is culpable. We all knew who he was.

Ew. What could go wrong?

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

What the fuck? I just assumed NetFlix would drop the whole MLB season at once so we could binge it.

Under Maryland criminal code, calling ICE in order to obtain something of value (e.g., labor) is extortion. Maryland Criminal Law § 3-701, the Prevent Extortion from Immigrants Act, makes this a felony punishable by 10-20 years in prison depending on the value she allegedly obtained.

Oh, fuck off already.

I read about a court case in the UK where police techies proved that a guy had not been typing on his computer when a murder happened. That's how I discovered that Windows has a typing assistant enabled by default that logs all your keystrokes. In my day that was a malware called a keylogger.

🟢 Durant, OK warehouse has sold… to the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma! ICE previously sought to buy the space to create a mega detention center capable of holding 8,500 people. This is the 13th warehouse they have been denied.

The actual reality of what’s going on with NASA is a real trip when juxtaposed with what a hit the NASA-saturated “Project Hail Mary” film seems to be. I wonder how many people who enjoyed the film are aware of just how much this admin has shanked all the cool real-world research it featured.

Seriously, just give us health care.

Good. The companies deserved to lose. But don't let opportunists use this to push legislation that would make kids less safe while expanding censorship and surveillance www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-03...

The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis. My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives? So I picked up my camera 👇

EXTENDED VERSION OF “FUCK ICE” CHANTS IN MINNESOTA #AEWDynamite

"If you listen long enough and with a sufficiently open heart, the division between you and what you’re hearing breaks down. The music is inside you. It tells you the story of your own life." Read James Marcus' review in the Threepenny Review here- drive.google.com/file/d/16JEW...

“It all adds up to a theology of hate and violence being spread by the Trump administration.” In a @religiondispatches.org article, @ardenthistorian.bsky.social and @tlecaque.bsky.social explain how the Jerusalem Cross became a symbol of violent Christian nationalism. Read the full article below ↓

Monkey wrenching is such an under appreciated form of protest

"Where are all the protests now?" is asked with a kind of smirk, like they just checkmated you with a first-grade logic puzzle. It goes in the same bin as "If global warming is real why's it snowing in Georgia?" and "Can you define what a woman is?" Absolute brain rot level of thinking.

THE STUDENTS WERE PROTESTING THEIR UNIVERSITY'S SUPPORT FOR THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT. WHEN SCHOOLS SUPPORT ICE THE STUDENTS PROTEST THAT TOO IT'S JUST NOT AS COMMON

A calf, in fact. A golden calf. Nothing ever bad happened to someone who made a golden calf.

The religious rhetoric Hegseth is spouting in the Pentagon, the praying for Talarico's death his pastor is doing, and Andy Ogles anti-Muslim, anti-immigration shit, and the "No Sharia Caucus" chucklefucks are all one and the samr ideology.
