The UAW will ensure that our member receives the full protection of all negotiated contract language safeguarding his job and his rights as a union member. Workers should never be subjected to vulgar language or behavior by anyone—including the President of the United States.

🧵 The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.

Trump yells “fuck you” and flips off an auto worker in Michigan who yelled “pedophile protector” www.tmz.com/2026/01/13/t...

"Quit demonstrating" is not something that a pro-democracy politician says. It's something that an authoritarian tool says.

I can't be this furious all the time, but I didn't know it was possible to be this furious even some of the time.

Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti. Mattia sips on an espresso during his. Truly the heroes we need during these times.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the Lego Enterprise-D Wesley minifig has his Shimoda tractor beam device. Were @benjaminahr.mobi and @cutfortime.bsky.social consulted on this set??

Hello fellow Americans! Show this to both your French and Italian friends to have them both hate you and each other at once!

Why oh why did we get tickets to see the Stranger Things finale? Now I gotta watch this shit? And I don’t think there’s a single gay hockey player in the damn thing wtf

Whatever you are, be a good one (looking at you, gooners)

Merry Christmas! Please enjoy the opening to this Japanese Christmas concert special that I watch every year. As far as I can tell, this has otherwise been scrubbed from the internet

Thank you so much to @benjaminahr.mobi @aragusea.bsky.social and @cutfortime.bsky.social for the lovely… tea towel? Bath mat? Whatever it is, I like it and your podcast a whole lot.

personally getting very irritated by the unbelievable arrogance of the data boys

Communities can be great but they’re also the thing that forces you into a Wicker Man to bring back their bees.

Animal Farm ft. Seth Rogen got me feeling

As we approach the end of the year and I reflect on what means the most to me, one thought rises above everything else: Smile 2 was a great fucking horror movie.

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

james cameron every couple of years for some reason:

Under 26 selfie (had to reach deep into the archive for this one, thanks Google Photos)

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

The Sneakers Suite is GOAT soundtrack material, JFC this is so good youtu.be/YynVo5DQc5M?...

This is so incredible. You have to see the photos. These workers held the line for THREE YEARS www.publicsource.org/post-gazette...

Why do I get the feeling Google called their Cursor clone ”Antigravity” so that “Google Anti-“ wouldn’t autocomplete to “Google Antitrust” anymore?

I agree and would add that where I think the popularists go wrong is in assuming a static issue space, i.e., there are many paths to strategic moderation and they do not actually all involve moving to the right on the issues that these strategists just happen to be preoccupied with.

oh my god you have to read this until the end www.telos.news/p/part-1-how...

TAKEN AT HER COURT HEARING. To all those Americans deceiving themselves that ICE is only going after rapists and murderers, another reminder that’s a lie. They are targeting folks doing the right thing, because it is easier and otherwise they don’t have enough people to arrest. Wake up now.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

this is the most successful a CIA officer has been at toppling a government in years.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF NoVA

A pro-affordability, anti-Trump-corruption message unites the party. Every candidate can run on that, and every candidate can have their own take to fit that to their constituents. There's really no need to find fights to pick when the party agrees on more than it disagrees

Was pretty disappointed with The Fort Bragg Cartel by Seth Harp. Seems to be solid investigative reporting but also a whole lot of bizzaro conspiracy shit. It’s hard to say if it’s leftist or conservative conspiracism, too, it fits either side (although it feels pretty dirtbag left to me).

So tired of "this shouldn't be SNAP eligible discourse!!" on Twitter right now with the exception of stuff like cigs and alcohol, honestly, just let people buy what they want from the damn Publix you have better things to do than police the shopping habits of poor strangers

It's my birthday, so have a present. SLIPPERY CREATURES (Will Darling Adventures book 1) is going on cheap over the weekend. 1920s pulp adventure m/m romance with plots, spies, Bright Young People, and emotional support knife, all for 99p!

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

neat trick the "centrists" love to pull: just blankly asserting that all of their personal biases are popular and the things they don't like are unpopular and dragging the party down we see the transphobia, folks

i'm fine with a deeper focus on economic issues over social issues but man does plank 2 give the game away

“How long, you think?”

Marjorie Taylor Green is literally the Jewish space lasers lady She’s an anti-semite! That’s why she opposes Israel, not because she supports human rights Do not fucking circulate her saying “oh she’s being reasonable” jfc

it's very hard to distinguish between Trump's cognitive decline and his cognitive never-having-inclined

Taking food from hungry American children to send to Argentina to prop up the regime there. Seems like that might not be super popular.

Throughout the RotS novelization (which I can’t stop thinking about), Anakin obsesses over a thought: “All things die. Even stars burn out.” Anakin’s fear drives him to seek power and he thinks he finds the answer in Palpatine. That through his rage and will he can hold on to the things he loves.

Women invented science fiction — at least twice: Mary Shelley in 1818 Margaret Cavendish in 1666 publicdomainreview.org/essay/mistre...

In the Revenge of the Sith novelization, when Obi-Wan talks with Padmé about Anakin she’s says she’s happy that he’s been appointed to the Jedi Council and Obi-Wan says: “It is perhaps less than he deserves—though I’m afraid it may be more than he can handle.” There is this great version of RotS.

[bravely] i would also not support janet mills were it revealed she had a nazi tattoo

Me: I’m reading too many books, it’s stressing me out, it’s likely a sign of mental illness. Also me: Let’s start 2 more…
