Ben Shapiro has a squeaky, pre-pubescent voice that sounds like he huffed helium. Similarly, his viewpoints often reflect those with the mental clarity of someone who huffs paint.

Thought I’d share with u an article that was shocking 1st time I read it and even more shocking on the second. These fake Christians are really out there and we should treat them as the threat that they are. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-hor...

In a few years, after much unnecessary death and destruction, *many* people I know and love are going to say they were taken in by the “great deceiver” but have repented and asked forgiveness. So j just want to say right now: Miss me with that.

Had an awesome time chatting with Jon Stewart & @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social talking about how to fight the dumpster fire. Gear up. It’s time to brawl.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

They don’t care about babies, it’s subjugation of women. MAGA don’t care the maternal death went up 56%. School shootings? More guns. Starving kids? Less food programs. Sick kids? Less vaccines, less healthcare. Child labour? Of course Children's education? Fuck that. www.salon.com/2025/01/02/n...

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Those drones flying all over are a massive tease. Either end us and put us out of our misery, or leave. We are tired.

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

Ten years ago I read a book about water. The privatization of it, the scarcity of it, the decaying infrastructure worldwide for it, the need for desalination of it… and the eventual wars that we will fight over it. Just something to keep your eyes on. #climatecrisis #climatechange #climate #water

Scholastic Book Fairs were legitimately one of the best things to ever exist in grade school. My heart lightens at the mention of them to this day.

MSNBC’s viewership halved post-election. Sending Joe Scarborough and others to Mar-a-Lago to appease Trump seems desperate. If they’re aiming to become ‘Fox News Lite,’ I hope remaining viewers recognize this shift and reconsider their loyalty.

Nearly 400 books removed from school libraries in one Tennessee county. Based on my skim of the list, most of them appear to be books by women, authors of color, &/or LGBTQ+ authors. www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

@donlemonofficial.bsky.social I just redownloaded Blue Sky just to follow you. Can you provide any ideas on what news outlets internationally who provide the most unbiased information on what’s going on in the US? Y’all know, since our news will eventually be censored and run by our own dear leader…
