Powerful sign from a #NoKings protest in Washington state. Vaccines save lives!

Studies show that intelligent people curse more than fucking dumbasses

My roommate saw me put more cheese onto a frozen pizza & it was like I unlocked something in him. I saw the wheels turning as he realized we don't have to settle for the default amount of cheese the pizza overlords offer us. What goes onto the frozen pizza is in our control. We have the power.

Therapist: Did you accomplish anything this week that you're proud of? Me: Making the... Therapist: Besides making the McDonald's breakfast cut off twice. Me: 😔

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.

Cops are violent fascists who make all situations worse and hate the people they’re supposed to serve. DEFUND THE POLICE.

Connections with caregivers are key for children’s wellbeing, but the prison system is designed to tear families apart.

ON TOP of the ethical reasons to not use AI, it's also 1) bad at what it does 2) literally makes you stupider 3) has HUGE environmental costs: every search is equivalent to pouring out an entire bottle of water. It's not worth it to generate a cutesy emoji or have it write an error-riddled draft.

THREAD: The assassinations in Minnesota highlight a dirty secret hardly ever mentioned in the news: U.S. has 1.1 million private police officers. There is an unprecedented footprint of privately organized violence that is doing all sorts of things most people have no idea about.

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

““Clearly, they had technology in their system which linked those posts to my Esta … a long time before I took them down,” he said. “Because they knew all about the posts, and then interrogated me about the posts once I was there.””

Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.

You’re seeing a lot on TV rn about force and misconduct in Los Angeles sheriff department's role. Well, here’s what happened when someone tried to get serious about bringing accountability to the department: she faced huge pushback… and now she faces criminal charges. boltsmag.org/the-curious-...

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

How many more examples before people understand that transphobia is violence

You absolutely can care about and fight for Palestine and trans rights and racial justice and environmental justice and land back and abolition and reparations and intersectional feminism and economic justice and healthcare and housing and education for everyone. It's actually all the same fight.

“Seven Lies about Israel’s Attack on Iran: I was a US intelligence analyst. Trump and Netanyahu are lying to you.”

In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager probes to study the Solar System's edge, and the interstellar medium between the stars. One by one, they both hit the "wall of fire" at the boundaries of our home system 🔭 www.iflscience.com/nasas-voyage...

Please note how the first thing these cops did after handcuffing an 80 year veteran was to take away his mobility aid This is violence against people with disabilities Our accommodation tools are necessary for our survival & should never be taken away It’s a reason many don’t feel safe protesting

"Reporters surveyed state and local law enforcement agencies and found that at least 145 of them had resold guns on at least one occasion between 2006 and 2024. That's about 90 percent of the more than 160 agencies that responded."

Folks are putting too many conditions on who should or shouldn’t get snatched up, disappeared, & detained. I don’t care if someone is caught allegedly doing something, the constitutional right to due process & legal representation exists for all, not some. What we’re seeing is state kidnapping.

"defund the police" was so obviously correct. I really don't care if it doesn't poll well. it's like telling me that I should stop saying I like vaccines if they stopped polling well.

i wonder if the tanks will be rolling over the backs of actual peasants or if it'll just be symbolic

Ozzy certainly brings us #joy #BlueSkyArtShow #Caturday #photography #CatsOfBlueSky #cats
