@jamesstout.bsky.social the “It Could Happen Here” episode on migrant detention in Libya was harrowing. The first three episodes of the second season of the “Outlaw Ocean” podcast (www.theoutlawocean.com/the-outlaw-o...) are about the topic, too.

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

Reggie Watts addresses Thom Yorke’s statement on Palestine and it’s good

Hey #RPG gamer friends! Have you checked out the Fury of the Forsaken Kickstarter yet? It's worth looking at for the art alone, but the adventure looks fab! Only about one day left! #DnD https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/louanders/fury-of-the-forsaken

Broth for the Broth God! Stew for the Stew Throne!

The fascist win if you lose your compassion for other people. That's part of the war. You have to keep compassion.

They weren't tricked. A word generator was used for a purpose its makers didn't intend. This is like saying "most calculators are easily tricked into saying BOOBS."

This and

Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired! www.npr.org/2025/05/09/g...

You can tell AI is the future of computing by the fact that it's being given away for free to people who don't want it. Smart phones are indispensable now, but when the iPhone came out everyone hated it and refused to buy one so Apple started gluing them to people's hands to force them to use them.

This is NOT a second Nakba and I really wish people would stop describing the current IOF atrocities against Palestinians as such. This is the same Nakba that the world has been endorsing for 75 fucking years.

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

a thing about people flipping out about the phrase "toxic masculinity" is they seem to think it means "all masculinity is toxic" and not "there is a subtype of masculinity that is toxic and it is what is being referred to right now". i wonder if they have this problem with all adjectives

happy Pierre Poilievre Lost His Seat Day to everyone who celebrates

Omg why is this taking so long this is all we care about blah blah the liberals won probably minority blah blah back at the polls in 18-24 months BUT PIERRE MIGHT LOSE HIS FUCKING SEAT

Everyone watching Pierre Poilievre eat absolute shit in Carleton and respecting Canada's bilingual culture.

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." -Pope Francis

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

Music needs more saxophone. Case in point: any #GUNSHIP song with Tim Cappello

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

Okay. The people have spoken. For every reskeet this gets, I will post a random picture from my camera roll with no explanation (other than alt text). Let the games begin.

Everyone have the weekend you voted for! Globally, honestly.

We heard anecdotally that Canadians weren’t visiting the states, now we have the data. A massive, shocking drop.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a NEW peptide antibiotic that targets a broad range of disease-causing bacteria INCLUDING those RESISTANT to existing antibiotics. This discovery marks the first potential new class of antibiotics in NEARLY 30 YEARS. 🧪🧵⬇️

Few things make me livid when I see them online seeing parents proudly say they have no regrets after letting their child die of measles, a fully preventable disease, I lose it for a bit. That’s child neglect. CPS has taken Black kids for far less, and it’s infuriating to watch this go unchecked.

With ALT text because important queer history. Splitting the 'T' doesn't get you anything but a seat on a later train to the camps.

Last week, my daughter asked if I could recommend any podcasts. I told her about @coolzonemedia.bsky.social. Today, just after finishing the latest episode of @socialistdogmom.bsky.social’s “Weird Little Guys”, I heard the theme playing and the opening lines again. It’s her favourite podcast.

"We have to create more space in our tent to accommodate the people who are absolutely obsessed with the genitals of strangers, including the genitals of children." Anti-trans folks are creepy. That's the message any centrist who isn't also obsessed with the genitals of strangers would be pushing.

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones. Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

My wife: [uses Febreze on the couch] [hours pass] Me: Ugh, I can’t breathe in here, it smells terrible! Her: Would you prefer wet dog? Me: … Me: Yes. Yes, I actually would

This is a really important point, but one that almost everyone who criticised poor Imane Khelif will undoubtedly ignore www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/m...
