AI now writing my patient summaries and physician notes now without informing me. What could possibly go wrong? Major reactions to medications are non-existent in my record and every complicated decision made with my doctors is listed as "patient denies care" so I'm sure it's fine.

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

Pleading with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee to ask Josh Divine at his confirmation hearing tomorrow if he still believes homosexuality is morally equivalent to bestiality, or that Christians are "obligated ethically to impose their beliefs on others." I do not ask for much.

Did immigration raids always involve so much military cosplay? Asking for an allegedly free country. (Photo by jchavezmpls.bsky.social.)

This is basically the standard GenAI use case. Someone hoping AI will let them pretend to be informed yet actually just wasting everyone's time with nonsense. www.semafor.com/article/06/0...

Jonathan Joss was the victim of a violent, homophobic hate crime. This is why we have Pride Month and why we’ll only get louder and prouder. RIP Jonathan Joss

Trump talking tough to Putin is like the puppet threatening the ventriloquist.

Nothing sadder than a tough guy who needs to remind you he's tough, right after admitting to shielding Russia.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

“And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust…shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” — what was once the Constitution of the United States, Article One, Section 9

Just as with masks, the whole “we just don’t want mandates” lie has now collapsed around the COVID19 vaccine. These people are the same charlatans who claim they are all about medical “choice”. Then they take the choice away from us.

NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.

Rep. Jim Himes: “Absent evidence to justify the firings, the workforce can only conclude that their jobs are contingent on producing analysis that is aligned with the President’s agenda, rather than truthful and apolitical.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

You’re allowed to argue that black people and women are genetically inferior. But you’re NOT allowed to argue they are NOT inferior because that’s divisive. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

Each time you ask an AI chatbot a question, it sends a request to a data center and strains an increasingly scarce resource: water. A 🧵on our investigation into how the data centers that power AI are increasingly being built in highly water-stressed places: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

The disrespect for Congress and the law is glaring - and for our nation a threat to our public safety.

Pope Meatball III is objectively an awesome name.

Just noting - Trump is bragging about decorating the Oval Office in gold while telling America's kids to cut down on buying toys.

Trump’s foreign film tariff is genius. I mean, foreigners make tons of money selling movies to us, and it’s not like they could retaliate against American movies, right? Do those even make money overseas? /s

Page One must have been crowded. So NYT puts it on Page 13. 🤡 @schooley.bsky.social

As a dog person, I don’t usually say this, but it’s not like I’m playing with a cat or a mouse in the background or anything.

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

I know we’ve always had wrongheaded officials, but this really is a new level of stupid.

this is legitimately evil

The actual findings of the new HHS gender-affirming care report don’t really line up with what the agency is saying about it.

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200. The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money. Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

Gonna tell my offspring this is Kid Rock.

This sentence can’t get any more evil. This is the most evil sentence ever.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. RFK Jr. has reportedly instructed officials to stay silent on bird flu transmission and avoid testing farm workers with symptoms. This is a direct attempt to suppress vital information. Pandemics begin with secrecy and cover-ups.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.
