Definitive take on “liberal Joe Rogan”

Just fund independent, nonpartisan, public service journalism, you fools. We literally have fewer news analysts, reporters, and journalists left in the US than people in the coal mining industry! Why are billionaires setting cash on fire on a bunch of dorks?

I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵

The “Genius Act” doesn’t stop Trump’s memecoin from allowing people to literally buy access to the White House itself. Call Ossoff today to express your disappointment in his “yes” vote—tell him he can’t take his left-wing voters for granted! 470-786-7800 @ossoff.senate.gov @ossoff.bsky.social

Since the term AI has been poisoned by generative world-burning stuff, we're going to have to go back to calling video game AI routines "the computer." I couldn't beat the final boss because the computer was being cheap, etc.

LRS I don’t usually share things like this, but I love both versions of the pigeon so much

share the money pigeon for 10,000 years good luck 💸🍀🤞

There's one more problem not addressed here: Some of these states are also not allowing pregnant women to leave the state, lest they have an abortion. So those states would be forcing babies to be born without citizenship.

9 people were killed in a tornado last night in KY. The NWS office responsible for that area has faced some of the most extreme cuts by the Trump administration, including the loss of overnight forecasting. Last night, they were rushing to find help for the office. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/w...

It is indeed striking how media ignore planned draconian cuts to housing subsidy for the poor. Empathy and shame are out. How about the self-interest of the affluent? Easy to join the dots between mass evictions, spike in homelessness and desperation creating a crime wave? #GApol

Today is endangered species day. Only 3 days left to make a public comment on the federal register to oppose the removal of the definition of HARM under the endangered species act More info in the video I added from another user, but the aforementioned register is linked below.

Anyone who was in Newark Airport's Terminal B between 12:30-4 p.m. Monday may have been exposed to measles, according to the New Jersey health department.

You definitely don’t have to refuse to vote for Cuomo just because he’s a sexual predator, you can also refuse to vote for him because he killed thousands of people and then covered it up

you can always laugh about a plantation resort burning down. delightful.

The European citizen initiative petition to ban conversion therapy within the EU reached the one million signatures mark and met all the other requirements ! 🎉 The Commission will now have to examine it Half of the signatures came from France thanks to all of the organising ! France baise ouais 🇫🇷

Abolish ICE is the compromise position. We need to abolish the entire Department of Homeland Security, which was created after 9-11 with the express purpose of terrorizing immigrant communities, activists, and ordinary people in a sickening display of security theater that does not make anyone safer

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

‘Work requirements’ while engaging in mass layoffs and causing prices to spike is a social murder turducken.

The Georgia abortion law is undoubtedly in play, but that fact that, like many states, Georgia law suspends advance directives during pregnancy likely is also taking the choice away from the woman's family

“The unusual nature of this increase in Black women’s unemployment is a testament to and a direct result of the anti-DEI and anti-Black focus of the new administration’s policies,” Cunningham said Trying to find a job as a Black woman was already difficult before, now they wanna make it impossible

I truly truly hate that the challenge to birthright citizenship brings out the extremely shortsighted anti-birth-tourism people, as if patching some miniscule loophole is worth fucking over something far bigger and more meaningful about what it means to be American.

I think I might unabashedly love the manga Pro Wrestling Star Wars by Yasushi Hara. Incredibly indulgent fantasy booking from an extremely specifically early 1980s perspective. STARTS with a kickass Inoki/Baba match and then chronicles a united USA vs. Japan feud of pro wrestling with no limits.

Time to prepare, beloveds. If you are considering stocking up, remember that these pills do expire eventually, and *do not* discuss your actions online or via unencrypted communication. Take no shit, and leave no trace. www.plancpills.org

This match is a little horror movie, and it taught me that I have a pretty strong stomach when I’m sold on the emotion of a match.

everyone even mildly into polar exploration knows how badly vitamin A can fuck you up, and seeing the Health Secretary of the US recommend megadoses to measles patients made me so mad i wrote about it. im so angry at this malthusian ghoul buttondown.com/theswordandt...
