Jeffrey Dahmer is literally one of the most popular people in history. 89% of Americans say they like to eat red meat. But they put him in jail? I can’t believe this.

This will be of no surprise to any artist here on Bluesky but a new qualitative report has been published about the Basic Income for Artists pilot in Ireland and it turns out that the impact has been far-ranging and has affected all aspects of artists' lives booksirelandmagazine.com/basic-income...

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

the invisible hand of the market is finally reaching back around to where the consumer demand is located

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

They know people will work. But they know basic income means people will be less inclined to put up with workplace abuse and most workplaces are abusive.

I have a lot to say about the resurgent young men / masculinity discourse but for now will confine myself to: I wish I knew how to convince teenage boys/young men is how little of the world actually requires or even invites the hypermisogynist "tough guy" aesthetic

May 2, 1945: The U.S. celebrates the collapse of Germany's far-right government. May 2, 2025: The U.S. is chastised by Germany for supporting a return to power of Germany's far-right government.

went out for a little stroll down broadway with some fellow new yorkers

always the creeps u most expect also this official photo is exactly what the onion would choose for a “creepy guy” story

why exactly is the white house allowing known circulators of CSM into the briefing room?

how much of Trump’s meme coin you’ve invested in

When you replace the FAA with SpaceX you’re gonna have some unscheduled disassemblies

I am an unapologetic apologist for America’s great one-term presidents, John Quincy Adams and Jimmy Carter. And I think my latest at @liberalcurrents.com shows why. They genuinely believed in role of politics to extol and edify. www.liberalcurrents.com/inherent-vic...

Note that I tore this piece of shit "study" apart when it was released, and that every time some prohibitionist has belched "studies show" at me over the past decade, I reply, "You're clearly referencing the bogus Neumayer, Cho, & Dreher study", because they ALWAYS are.

My brain often can’t handle the raw data of Reddit. Especially in present times. Curating my feed here has helped me find fellow optimists who are also realistic about the situation we’re in. It’s a nuanced perspective that I have trouble finding on Reddit. But is Bluesky an echo chamber???????

I'm attending May Day Strong's event, “Speak-out for Justice, Equality, and the Rights of Working People!” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/mayday/event...

Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

Looks like we finally found the censorship industrial complex. I'm sure the Twitter Files conspiracy theorists will be all over it any day now. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

1. This executive order - if implemented (which is a big IF) - would fundamentally weaken the Civil Rights Act of 1964. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

💥 BREAKING: Levi Strauss shareholders voted today to reject a proposal calling on the company to cease / abolish all DEI efforts (tally TBD). LEVI Board: “Diversity and inclusion principles are critical in ensuring that our products reflect and are relevant to our diverse global consumer base.”

So, uh, it certainly looks like DOJ intended to file a letter to Judge Liman in MTA v. Duffy, but….it accidentally filed a letter containing its legal advice to the Department of Transportation instead storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

This rings true to my beliefs (my truth, my perspective). People in community with one another can work together to make things better. Putting the power in a select few is not the way.

Such a sign of the times to see how many businesses have closed today for 4/20

I'm writing a book! "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy" will expose how an extreme tech fascist ideology emerged from San Francisco to threaten the world. Grateful to @carolineeisenmann.bsky.social and @avidreaderpress.bsky.social for believing in this book ¡Orale!

Not many know that this famous burger chain was named for all of the people benefiting from President Trump currently being in office

I scanned dozens of newspapers from around the U.S. & world. On average, international newspapers cover the widespread protests against Trump/Musk and for democracy much more prominently on their covers than those in the U.S. This isn’t due to deadlines, protests were daytime in the U.S. #handsoff

An underrated factor in how we got ourselves into this mess is that Americans are increasingly relying on computers and the internet instead of their own critical thinking faculties (AI is making this even worse), and as a result are uninformed and easy to manipulate.

Frost: They want us to believe that they are the patriots of free speech. They are the ones kidnapping and disappearing college students

There are a -lot- more people going to today’s #HandsOff protest on the common than I’ve seen at the earlier ones. A -lot- more. 1/?

Protest just getting started here in Chicago.

Wow. This protest is massive. Well done, Boston! Shut it all down!

Bringing the pitchforks out is peak Vermont protesting. 😂

you expect them to cover this?? when there are tens of people in rural diners saying “I didn’t vote for THIS” right now????

The weather is crappy and it’s pouring at times, but huge crowds in NYC Bryant Park for today’s Hands Off protest.

Protest Check in, over 1000 planned.

The Daily Show uploaded a video showing Fox News attacking Obama for golfing, but replaced him with Trump. Epic!

I made this one in honor of @mauraquint.bsky.social
