Wondering if the @pittsburghsteeler.bsky.social have looked enough into their potential starting QB’s interesting views!

AI agents don't read, but I do. And call me a radical, but I don't dream of a future where society replaces actual critical analysis of the tech industry with the tech industry's own AI products

It takes a lot to leave me speechless, but it turns out I have a thing for knee-high leather boots. And so when tested -- on national television -- on my ability to hold leather boots and economics in my mind at the same time, I failed so spectacularly that now the whole world knows, I guess.

been thinking a lot the last couple of days about the way republican politicians went to bat for their supporters over completely made up allegations of targeting by the govt vs the silence of dem politicians when theres actual in-your-face targeting of their supporters by the govt

there is no complying with the law under fascism. it’s illegal if you do it and illegal if you don’t.

Evidence that Musk’s DOGE group is behind decisions on which grants are cut in USA is growing. The process was revealed after 4 US states filed a lawsuit over some grant cancellations. The resulting depositions name DOGE representatives as providing lists of cancellations. 🧪🧵

Trump cut staffing at the VA, and now Dallas vets are waiting months for care. Surgeries are being delayed. Vets are being left without mental health care. I’ve called for an investigation—because if you claim to support veterans, act like it.

It’s crucial to keep emphasizing that these EOs were lawless. There was never a plausible argument they were constitutional. This administration has nothing but contempt for the constitution and the rule of law.

This is what we mean when we say Bruce is modeling fearlessness for his fans.

Nikki Haley literally did a “wasn’t life easier when you were a kid” campaign tweet and I maintain actual people actually think like this

nothing, truly nothing, prepared me for people being genuinely nostalgic for life in like, 1997

As someone who was down for over a month when I had COVID, I believe everyone should be as protected as possible from both the health and financial impacts. There's no reason to restrict boosters at this stage. Make sure to follow the link and comment before the deadline if you agree.

Making higher education only available to their kids.

As a devoted patriot determined to help the President close our trade deficit, I'm working overtime to boost exports of American goods and services, but the White House won't let me.

Markets will crash and Trump will fold by Tuesday. Again.

i've pretty much built my life philosophy around "Every book is a children's book if the kid can read"

I'm still waiting on a single person anywhere, ever, to connect "kids reading inappropriate books" with an actual harm!

In season 4 of “AI,” the writers introduced a macguffin to stir things up a bit. They didn’t have any idea what it would do or how or why, but they figured the fans would go nuts with theories and they could leak fanciful tidbits to keep everyone in a tizzy for four more years. They were correct.

the criticisms of half-cooked, dangerously resource intensive automation prone to massive errors rushed to market by amoral corporatists is exclusively a bluesky phenomenon

I want to sue to get my booster.

She’s an antivaxer who doesn’t believe that LGBTQ+ people should allowed to be parents. The first episode of her “health” podcast rebrand was about how you shouldn’t brush your teeth

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours. The Golden Age.

“it matters to try” that’s everything, friends i don’t give one gat damn if the odds are slim for any one particular action we have to try that’s the moral and ethical injunction for all of us living in 2025 we have to try

73 year old Georgetown Law Professor Randy Barnett is one of the chief architects of the claim that the birthright citizenship clause of the 14th amendment doesn't provide for birthright citizenship

the rest of the world was ready to give us whatever we wanted in perpetuity as long as we just remained stable and predictable and we somehow fucked it all up
