people who live in glass houses sure do love picking up stones and giving them a good toss

If you think these people's victory is inevitable that's a skill issue

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

One of the big things I adored about Frankenstein is that the Creature never hurts Elizabeth. Usually in this sort of story, when a woman is trusting and welcoming in any way towards a monster, she is punished BY the monster. The monster seeks revenge thru her or wants to abuse her or possess her.

the government is giving me $10 billion because i made a phone app that reminds you to kill yourself

Still thinking about the FBI being the ones to first tell Mamdani’s dad about Karl Marx

Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers? For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.

I'm in @thenation.com this morning on the repeated failure of transphobia as political strategy, efforts to scapegoat trans people for Democrats' own failures, and Zohran Mamdani's model of solidarity

Y’all seen Lee Pace? Wearing That Shiiiiiiit

Earlier this week people discovered that Facebook had opted everyone in to AI-ification of the photos in their Memories feed without any notice and posts about how to turn that off went viral across the platform. Now suddenly the Memories feed is broken. That's not coincidence.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad 2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

Happy Four Seasons Total Landscaping Day for all who celebrate! 😂

Wish the devs would stop fucking up this perfectly good product they accidentally made.

Braver than all the troops in this world

Posting something lovely today - got to introduce my brother to miniature donkey Taco. They immediately fell in love 🥰 (credit to @floregonian.com for the idea of sharing lovely things)

Dem gains in this week's elections erased the inroads Trump made with non-white, young, and low-income voters in 2024. In fact, the R-to-D shift from 24 to 25 is double Trump's gains from 20-24. Claims of a GOP political realignment have been highly exaggerated www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-win...

There's a reason they are not letting Congress people in.

Something that's been eating at me about this is that the makers of this stuff _KNOW_ it's not "thinking." They know it's just an algo making statistical guesses at the next word. But they sell it as some all-knowing omni-sentience, so of course people think it could help them. OF COURSE.

Matching magic happening here! If you only have a little bit, this is the perfect chance to make it bigger! If you have more, perfect chance to make it BIGGER!

So we're doing phrenology again, I see. The adage that every AI "innovation" is a grift continues to be true.

not always, actually. fat and thin people need food. chosen food, tasty food, food nutritious for your particular body, food of plenty. a dearth of food does not always cause weight loss. i've studied fatness for over 4 decades. glib comments about fatness are often wrong.

In a world full of terrible role models for young people, I’m so glad there are also smart, joyful and empathetic people like Ms Rachel and Mychal Threets.

He’s the little sub thrower from Adams-Morgan (Go whiteboy, go whiteboy, go whiteboy go)

I think an underreported part of Tuesday night was the several Off-Broadway shows that pre-empted the curtain call by the cast running out and shouting "HE WON! HE WON!" like the end of Matrix Revolutions

This should be our slogan.

Overdue by four days. $75/500. ANY amount helps. Seriously $5 would even help. $55 would get me out of negatives in my account right now. But the rest is for November rent. #MutualAid 💸💕

I currently cannot physically stand long enough to grocery shop, if you can help me get delivery of some bagels and stuff, I would be grateful. It's a minimum order of $35, fee and tip, so I'm trying to raise $50. Thank you, this back injury sucks

Tech companies shouldn’t be asking for taxpayer dollars to build infrastructure, they should be paying higher taxes because of what they do to our infrastructure.

Women rock.

@algreen.house.gov , I love you, but you need to find someone to pass the torch to.

I generally like Al Green, but it's time for Al Green to retire. Be like Nancy, Al. Maybe if enough people show up to this thing to tell him not to run...

this is what a sociopath looks like, kids

if you would like me to draw additional potatoes i am helping with a fundraiser (you can also request non potatoes) bsky.app/profile/nora...

Trans folks reading this: don't panic too much, the supreme court thing is about injunctions pending a larger court case Cis folks reading this: Try to understand how terrifying it is to be a minority the government openly hates, and they start fucking with your ability to *leave the country*

no. it's not supremely funny. all your frame does is advance oppression of regular fat people, regular people with diabetes, & regular people with dementia.

‘Historical fact’ fuck off

Could we get more eyes on this please? Im running out of time to find lodging. Any help would mean so much to me.

The absolute gall it takes to ask for a bailout while families go hungry.

Good things can happen: the owner of the terrible, racist billboard visible from the 1-5 in Washington died and it’s now owned by the Chehalis tribe

You elected a guy that doesn't even know how to act when someone falls down. He just stood there pouting waiting for it to be over. No instinct to help or take charge, just muted silence and a sundowning stance. This is your big strong masculine leader? Y'all are just embarrassing as hell.

Time to dust this off again, I guess. [🎁 link] www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/o...

In general, when someone hits you with “Nazis are bad, amirite,”you don’t wanna give a “no comment”

If you have long covid and a doctor recommends graded exercise, exit that office and warn everyone else. These doctors are effing dangerous!!

"without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." This is flatly false! Trans people with a passport that does not match with their plain appearance when presented to a border agent is subject to additional hassle compared to a cis person presenting a passport.

rfk hoofing it out of that room is the funniest thing i have ever seen in my entire life

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc
