This is Zero. She's the world's first herding dog with a work-from-home gig. 14/10

Think we can get people behind this?

Making Passengers Clap After Their Plane Lands Because We All Know What a Fucking Accomplishment That is Now Great Again

Fuck this guy, man.

Live well and mute losers.

Apparently the gutting of the National Science Foundation is underway at the moment. "More to come." One can debate whether cuts are warranted, but the mindless, know-nothing fashion in which they are being carried out is inexcusable. This will damage US science for generations.

If you are a laid off federal worker, meet us Tuesday, 2/18, 10am ET at the Dirksen cafeteria. We’re gonna fight for our jobs, fight for the public, and put the pressure on senators to do the same.

"What did I do in the fight for American democracy and freedom? I ratio'd the fuck outta the Democrat's Bluesky account."

The replies to this are fuckin' wild. It's insane how trendy it is to shit on Democrats while literal fascists run rampant through the government destroying everything.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Same, coyote. Same.

Wish I was a Warlock, so I could have immunity to psychic damage and read the news daily without issue.

Wikipedia is rolling out anonymity features piloted in countries with authoritarian governments in the US & is making a change to not show editor IP addresses in response to a global "increase in threats" from Elon Musk, Heritage Foundation, and governments www.404media.co/wikipedia-pr...

Although early reporting suggested the SEC would likely look to “potentially freeze some litigation that does not involve allegations of fraud”, the first case the SEC has proposed freezing is SEC v. Binance: a case alleging serious fraud and knowing violation of US securities laws.

This had better ask about Dril

bluesky’s public launch was one year ago today

i mean, dems are saying the things we want them to say. warren's saying it. jefferies is saying it. wyden's saying it. omar's saying it. AOC is saying it. it's not landing on the front page of any major news website, but they're saying in plain language what's happening here.

Wild how fast MAGA went from anti-interventionist to “let’s invade Greenland and Canada.”

me and my 5 billion monthly listeners are being silenced by the msm

Good job, posters. That’s a lot of posts.

These are the same picture.

"a retaliatory move by the government against broadcasters whose content or coverage is perceived to be unfavorable ... designed to instill fear in broadcast stations and influence a network’s editorial decisions" www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/b...

Last year we started a project to download and preserve public data. lil.law.harvard.edu/blog/2025/01... Since saving public data is in the news today — but is always needed — let’s talk about what you can do to help.

Archivists are working to identify and save thousands of datasets disappearing from Data.gov 🔗 www.404media.co/archivists-w...

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

I knew it would be a wild four years, but I wasn't expecting fucking planes falling out of the sky on week one, holy shit.

Changed my parasocial relationship status to “it’s complicated.”

"BUT HARRIS DIDN'T EARN MY VOTE" When you frame your vote as something that must be "earned" through a perfect alignment of policies and promises, you're abdicating your role in the democratic process. You're pretending you're a passive consumer rather than an active participant. A thread. 🧵

I really wish journalists wouldn't always say "The Department of Government Efficiency, commonly known as DOGE." You're giving Elon a narcissist boner every time you say this.

These HP dual land restore/alters are unironically amazing.

I intermittently fast. The intervals are about 20 minutes long.

"the WeWork of AI" is so cold lol

calling bluesky “left wing” because it won’t let you post 13 straight hours of hate speech is like throwing a tantrum at Applebee’s because they won’t let you cook meth in the kitchen
