the president does not actually have the power to fire a university president or a museum director, but if elites simply roll over under pressure, then effectively he does

Just called my US rep @repdangoldman.bsky.social to ask him to demand the House censure Ogles for this miserable, bigoted, anti-American, fascist attack - and to do everything he can to defend Mamdani and the rest of us. If you agree, please call your own rep asap. Find your reps here: reps.fyi

the nyt releasing an andrew sullivan op-ed that calls non-binary people a threat to the entire LGBT community as a whole on the anniversary of obergefell is just more evidence that you should never fucking cooperate with the NYT. Treat their reporters like cops.

I know there is so much going on in the world right now and we are all broke and struggling But Spätzle is my little baby. I adopted her when she was a kitten and she curls up next to me purring every night when I go to bed. I want to do whatever it takes to make sure she's okay. Please. Thank you

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place before all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

I cannot believe I used to sleep like this. I'm not sure that I even got 30 minutes of solid rest at any point in time last night.

Godfuckingdamnit. My nasal pillows are missing, and I'm not at home, so I don't have any replacements. I can't use my CPAP, and I'm going to be fucking miserable tomorrow.

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

Secret police tend to meet 5 criteria: -target political opponents & dissidents -the identity of members / operations are secret -surveillance operations -arbitrary searches, arrests, interrogations, detentions, disappearances & torture. 👉 answer directly to dictator 👈 the StasICE, GestapICE, etc.

No American outlet would hesitate to describe them as pro-regime paramilitaries or an irregular militia and similar terms if this was happening anywhere else.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I had no idea my ADHD proprioception was so bad until I stuck a continuous glucose monitor on my arm. Already bumped it in THREE separate doorways in under 24 hours. Am I always bumping into stuff this often??

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Iffy Books is one of the coolest most wonderful resources in Philly, but they're barely holding on. If you can subscribe for $3 a month or make a onetime donation that'd be so rad

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

HERE IS A THING that EVERY American can do: 1. Call your Senator. 2. Say the following: "I am requesting that you place a hold on the nomination of Bill Essayli as U.S. Attorney for the Central District of CA for directing federal agents to assault a U.S. Senator." 3. Call other Senator, repeat

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

They're saying they want to "liberate" the city from its elected leaders. They're arresting protesters on made-up charges. They're calling in the military. This crew was bound to become more violent as they became weaker, and that's what's happening.

I visited a friend in Boston for a 4 night trip this weekend. I've walked about 18 miles, had about 17 hours of sleep, drank approximately 11 various alcoholic beverages (when my usual is....one every month or two?) and just generally had the time of my life. Highly recommend.

I'm so sorry to his husband, and to him. They should be alive together right now, getting that trailer and moving on with their lives from that hateful hellhole. They had gotten away, and then this atrocity. Nothing anyone says about what happens next can correct that into existence. 🖤

Work weeks should be, like, 20-25 hours max. And I'm saying this as a person who already works a 32 hour week, 4 days a week. It's still not enough time to get everything done in your life that needs doing AND feel like you got any leisure time. It's only one or the other.
