PRIDE MONTH DOUBLE RAINBOW IN CHICAGO HOLY SHIT

If you think AI is dangerous, you haven't met the New York Times, which thinks that the privacy of 100 million weekly users is less important than their copyright claim against OpenAI. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Homophobes can't help but make Pride Month look cool.

Happy Pride Month, an event that corporations used to enthusiastically celebrate until a few intolerant people told them to stop

The United States, a country so facist that even carrying your papers won't save you from the government's thugs.

I’d love to finish my work life and retire in Japan

There are plenty of people whose opinions I disagree with, but my faith in the Constitution means I will defend their right to speak just as vehemently as I defend my own.

For all the people who are getting all upset without reading the article: “Under the new Netflix agreement, new episodes will premiere on Netflix and PBS on the same day, ensuring the educational program stays accessible for millions of children across the country.”

Calling your predecessor mentally incompetent doesn’t really make your case when the country was a thousand times better off when he was in charge.

Donald Trump's administration terminated the implementation of @illinoisdceo.bsky.social's Digital Equity Capacity Grant. Instead of enabling Illinoisans to participate in our economy, he's turning his back on rural America, veterans, seniors, and those who rely on internet access.

Let’s stop mischaracterizing the American public. Out of all people who would be eligible to vote, if they had registered, and if they had showed up, about 32% of them voted for Donald Trump. When people ask who is responsible for the country being as fucked up as it is now, my answer is: voters.

If you love Matthew Meyer's #yokai art (see below), I would highly recommend his fabulous books (outline of each in thread). They have all his gorgeous art alongside information about the yokai. I have learnt so much from his work. Follow him @yokai.com and books available here: yokai.com/shop/.

Why do so many Americans not have empathy for anyone? Do they think this makes them look cool? It makes them look weak.

Trump doesn’t know how to deal. He’s just a bully, and every time he gets power he just beats people into submission. That’s not dealing, that’s violence. And it comes from a place of insecurity and weakness. Stephen Covey would say win-win or no deal.

Just keep telling yourself “that’s ridiculous… He couldn’t possibly mean that.“ Like you did through the whole campaign. He totally didn’t mean that, and he’s doing it. If you want to stay insane, just keep telling yourself that tariff will make the economy better better. (They won’t)

If you take a single lesson out of Star Wars let it be that successful opposition to fascism only happened after all the different factions stopped fighting with each other and joined forces. You can criticize your allies, of course, but you can’t be more focused on defeating them than the enemy.

This makes me kind of glad that I have access to a network of weather experts, and know how to read Doppler radar. So if I have to, I can find the tornadoes myself…

Donald Trump can’t become Pope because he isn’t Catholic. We all know that the Pope has to be Catholic and that RFKJr shits in the woods. Donald Trump could become Catholic but gosh, can you imagine his First Confession? Is he capable of repentance?

I've always said that we will be turning to the Declaration of Independence after the Constitution.

It is all of these things: A blatant cash-grab. A way to put more hate money in the hands of JK Rowling. A way to "shut up" the inconvenient truths told by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. Rowling is poison. I can't figure out if she's Voldemort or Dolores Umbridge.

Fortunately, I had a Measles titer in 2019, and my immunity is out of range high on the test. More signs of the public health apocalypse. cookcountypublichealth.org/2025/04/30/p...
