Today I was talking with an Irish astronomer about the discovery of the first galaxies and I thanked him for helping me with one of the videos I’m working on over here. Then I mentioned one of the other videos is about peat bogs and he was like “my family has a bog, what do you want to know?”

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic

Just wanted to take a moment to welcome my hubby @bradtakei.bsky.social to Bluesky! I know it’s not a contest but… I think I might have more followers than you.

HIV is treatable & preventable. Yet, too many still can't afford life-saving treatment. 💔🌍 The fight against AIDS must be about access for all and equality—not profit for big pharma. 💊⚖️ #HRC58 #HIV #HumanRights

Is this a new tariff day or a tariff pause day? It’s tough to keep up.

one of the things i truly believe is that a significant portion of this country is in the grip of a death cult

Thanks to everyone in Keels, Bonavista and Port Union Newfoundland. We had the best time in such a beautiful place and everyone was so welcoming. #severance

NEW: The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling that blocked key provisions of two Arizona voter suppression laws demanding documentary proof of citizenship to vote in presidential elections. Paige and I explain. youtu.be/umdJ-YmCI3Y

Yes

Freedom of reach is the real battle in social media right now. Algorithmic feeds vs. deterministic timelines isn't just UX - it's about whether platforms or users control what gets seen. And these choices fundamentally reshape online communities. 1/6

Mike Waltz on Fox & Friends claims "it's not clear that Zelenskyy truly wants to stop the fighting." (Not how the White House never demands that Russia, the actual aggressor, simply stop their invasion.)

This is spot on.

Caught a guy peeing on my cybertruck. You're wasting your time idiot, it was already covered in piss from all the other people who did that today

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

Just saw a thread about a guy calling into cspan saying his diabetic supplies increased from 5 dollars to 80 dollars and somebody in the comments, probably multiple people but I stopped reading, replied “FAFO” and I can’t stress enough how much you need to stop doing that shit

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Elon’s mass harassment email to all federal employees underscores the importance of having unions to represent workers against abusive management.

Amen to that.

I just think it’s funny that Rick Scott is at 1% behind Junior.

Airport breakfast

AOC: And he is running around because he thinks he got a bank account with a lot of zeros in it that it makes him some kind of super citizen. I don't think so.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

in the 1900s, bit coins were usually made of chocolate

Jeffries: Elon Musk has emerged as one of the most unpopular figures connected to the Trump Administration. Trump’s poll numbers are moving in the wrong direction, and it hasn’t even been a month. The real question is: What is the corrupt bargain that has been struck between Trump and Elon Musk?

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons: 1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply) 2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

ICE attorney in Dallas accused in complaint of allegedly making "racist, bigoted, xenophobic, hateful" posts on X www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-att...

Let me help those who just get mad and post. It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals. Then, the biggest refiner is China. It will take a decade for the first $ If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?

The 'find out' phase is here.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

I always thought Wallace Shawn had the ideal career: you get to be this well-regarded highbrow playwright and art house movie maker AND you also get to be a part of millions of people‘s childhoods by being in Clueless, the Princess Bride, and Toy Story. What a life.

BREAKING: Gov. Hochul will NOT remove Mayor Eric Adams. Add another name to the list of Gutless Cowards.

Do you mean Congressmen who support the MAGA movement?

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.
