This is the Turbocharge The Gestapo bill

mmmm tasy #kefliart | #kefliocs | #ocsky

Imagine if there was precedent for paramilitary thugs working on behalf of a fascist leader and his official agencies. That might give us an insight into where this might be headed. Alas.

I think this is basically my marriage, though her hair is short, it's very curly :3

This is exactly what I think happens and everyone should stop it. Vote for the best candidate before you every time by your own values; don't cede your vote to the whims of some shitty median voter who you made up in your head.

what could he mean by “all the stuff that keeps people out of philadelphia”

Shortly before dying from cancer in 2002, anthropologist Grover Krantz arranged to have his body donated to the Smithsonian under one condition: his remains and that of his dog would be displayed to replicate his favourite photo. More info: shorturl.at/hEqbT

The Senate is rushing a bill that will gut Medicaid, food aid, and rural hospital funding, hitting NC hard. Sen. Tillis opposed it, refusing to bow to Trump’s threats. This bill also hurts seniors, disabled people, low-income families, and threatens clean energy jobs. Stay vigilant.

Okay, first of all, taking the song with the line "can't shake the Devil's hand and say you're only kidding" out of the running is wrong but Ana Ng.

Elderly relatives talking about you at family functions:

The worst thing about this “Big Beautiful Bill” is that it just made me agree with Elon Musk

Post an unusual sign if you feel like it. (My wife sent this to me right after waking up from surgery, to tell me she was out of recovery and I could come see her, and that should tell you everything you need to know about our relationship.)

Agreed. Feels like the People in Charge have all agreed to cut the world's throat and we're just waiting for it all to fall apart now. Bought a weather-tight ammo box today. Putting all my spare money into self-defense.

Doomerism is just a form of complying in advance. Knock it the fuck off.

If you follow 10 trans people you get to hear about 10 different lifestyles, hobbies, and special interests. If you follow 10 transphobes you get to hear the same transphobic moral panic from 10 different people, phrased the exact same way. But trans people are the ones in a hivemind cult somehow.

Hmm. Where have I seen that in the New York Times before...

I went to pick up Paxlovid for a friend with COVID. Price without insurance is over 1600.00. Price with "Cadillac insurance" over $450.00. People can't afford to try to prevent Long COVID. People can't get sick days and go back to work spreading infection. Rinse and repeat.

Twitter did not exist until five years later.

🚨 ALERT 🚨 Multnomah County DA Nathan Vasquez bypassed the grand jury and cleared a deputy in a fatal police shooting—with no public testimony, no transcript, and no accountability. Just a memo, a video, and a statement. That’s not justice. That's not transparency. And we won't be silent about it! 🧵

Here we go! The One Big, Beautiful Bill. Will post parts that stick out to me the most here. www.budget.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

This is a huge win and it’s also a direct result of the grassroots effort. If you've made noise about this over the past few days and weeks, you have a lot to be proud of.

“Even the term 'Artificial Intelligence' … is widely misused, with conceptual unclarity coopted to advance industry agendas and undermine scholarly discussions. It is our task to demystify and to challenge 'AI' in our teaching, research & engagement with society.” openletter.earth/open-letter-...

Well. I guess light-up skulls don't come to shows anymore. :/

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Why did you need a predictive model? The GOP has flat out TOLD you what their plans were: reversal of civil rights, mass deportations, white ethnostate regulations, and revenge on progressives as policy. They even called it "Project 2025" and you could read it for yourself.

Ending Medicaid in order to build concentration camps. I feel, as always, there should be some kind of nonstop barrage of ads across America, every Democrat on every platform saying something like “Republicans want to end Medicaid in words to build concentration camps.”

This is such a “fuck you eat shit you can’t jail us all” to Orban

I will explain why I think fashion brands should speak up, even if they have profited off the work of undocumented immigrants. 🧵

I wrote something for Mr. Porter about how to pack for a stylish summer holiday! This is for an international audience, so it doesn't include tips like "carry a burner phone if you've ever made a joke about JD Vance." www.mrporter.com/en-gb/journa...

I will pay Cypress Hill to do Finnegans Hill
