Happy Pride from our nation’s capital

i'm reposting this because there's a lot of people who keep screaming about data server water usage when the actual water crisis is already here and it's because americans cannot be bothered to grow anything but livestock feed and strawberries in the desert with flood irrigation. and hamburgers.

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

I've been wanting to tell my widowhood story publicly for years, but I know I don't have the kind of grief story people want to hear. No community rallied, no family healed, no strength discovered. I wrote about the gap between grief narratives and reality. www.dataandpolitics.net/why-i-find-i...

the hot take is "shaming" this won't stop people from using it. if the internet has shown anything, it's that people have ridiculous levels of "curiosity" about tools that "rate" them or compare them, "ironic" or, often, not. best angle is to not give this air outside your circles when possible.

WE ARE RELIEVED TO HEAR A U.S. COURT HAS RULED THAT TARIFFS AGAINST OUR ISLAND WERE ILLEGAL AND A SPECTACULAR MISUNDERSTANDING OF GEOGRAPHY, BIOLOGY, AND REALITY. FLIPPERS UP UNTIL WE ARE PERMANENTLY SHOWN DUE RESPECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER -PM Tuxley II

the first conspiracy.

I was a lifelong liberal Democrat. Then I learned that Kat Abu was dating Ben Collins.

Nebraska, have one on me!🍻

This is my new favorite image because it perfectly encapsulates the concern trolling and crybullying from the right when you give them even a fraction of what they spew out on a consistent basis.

Today, I got to share advanced copies of LAWLESS (my forthcoming book!) with the surgeon and physical therapist who helped me finish it by fixing my elbow post accident. Sharing the book with people who made it possible = best. Preorders yours! www.simonandschuster.com/books/Lawles...

new york times voter interviews are a powerful argument that not everybody should be allowed to vote

Picking a fight with the Vatican famously worked well for Mussolini so I'm sure this will go great for the GOP

The environmental concern is truly a case of cognitive dissonance given that, in many cases, the same people who complain about energy usage also chow down on meat products regularly.

People badly misunderstand the environmental concerns of LLMs. It's environmentally indistinguishable from any other big pile of compute that a GPU does. You might as well freak out about the environmental impact of Fortnite.

Baby's Day Out ☀️ Tula-Tu explored outside in Elephant Lands for the first time yesterday! Now that the weather is warmer, she'll be spending more time playing in the sun with her mom and aunties.

@vanhollen.senate.gov should be the biggest story of the day. He just released a press release saying “That’s why I’ve requested to meet with President Bukele during his trip to the United States, and – 1/2

one of my tiktok followers made this

hey what’s up everybody, happy saturday. just wanted to jump on here for a minute so I could stifle free speech and silence the opinions of others

Bluesky loves links! We don't downrank, and major publishers report that we're sending more link traffic than other sites. Here's the top links shared on Bluesky, updated hourly. theblue.report/week/

The replies to this are amazing lol people on Bluesky really can't recognize jokes

This is funny but it's also what a lot of MAGA people unironically believe

There’s been a tragedy in the OPSEC community.

Well, they lied. Obviously.

Love that every 18 hours I see a reporter post something like “11 Democratic Senators reached across the aisle to help confirm Sle’n’groth The Lamentable (longtime scourge, Trump megadonor, zero government experience) as Deputy Secretary for Continued Flourishing of Humanity”

They're lucky they accidentally added a Nat Sec brained Atlantic reporter who actually left the chat and notified them about it. Someone with real guts would have turned this into an endless source of leaks.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The fact that people are still debating this even as Donald Trump is musing about invading Gaza, canceling HIV/AIDS medications for 26 million Africans, and trying to take Medicaid away from 70 million Americans, puts into perspective how much people really want to hate Democrats.

In a savvy move, Trump concedes to most of Putin’s demands before the Russian leader has time to make them.

lol

Shut the fuck up you spineless Quisling bitch

felt like we could all use a pick-me-up
