For the love of god, if you haven't even read more than a headline, don't pretend you know what the decision actually does or says or what the case was even about.

I know they say it because they hate women and think the most important indicator of intelligence is agreeing with them, but when the dopes on the right say @aoc.bsky.social isn't smart ... it's just really weird. She's very, very, very smart.

These lists are stupid and incomplete, but they're also kind of fun?

I was rolling my eyes at Megan McArdle's WaPo column about the BlueSky echo chamber yesterday, and then I looked at my feed today, and I saw the terrible straw man arguments, and Jesus H. Christ, I need to get some acoustic dampeners.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

I really, really wish students wouldn't give me money as thanks for writing letters of recommendation for them. It's my duty and my job, and I'm not paid poorly. I appreciate the gratitude and impetus, but it's so effed up that the culture convinced Gen Z a rec letter is worth a $50 AmEx gift card.

I'm surprised but pleased that my chancellor is on this list.

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

Very online millennials acting as if they are the only people who have ever suffered multiple catastrophic historical events ... is so incredibly stupid.

In case you don't know about @policymap.bsky.social, they're amazing, and they've archived all of the datasets that the CDC took offline.

The very online left is so determined to avoid coalition building, compromise, and workable policy proposals that it's hard for me not to conclude they're not infiltrated by COINTELPRO.

We need to amplify this—the Republican House refused Secretary Buttigieg’s request for safety improvements at Reagan International.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I entered various LGBT keywords terms in the CDC search portal, and 90% of the pages that were listed led to "The page you're looking for was not found." I think it's pretty clear that the other 10% will vanish in hours.

I found myself unwilling to do anything on my to do list, so I started playing Genshin Impact, which is the first game of its kind I've ever touched. I'm entranced by its astonishing nonsense.

This guy stared at me the entire way from DC to LA and I was convinced he was going to follow me and kill me before I realized his sunglasses were just on the back of his head.

I see people saying “you mustn’t look away”, but what do you gain by watching the fascists and bigots over and over again - you can fight for a better world without constantly staring at the brutality - it is not a dereliction of duty to miss some of the Nazi salutes

The thing is, people have always been posting this stuff on social media platforms. Facebook would occasionally remove some of it, but no queer person I know has ever felt safe from bigotry and slurs on any Meta product.

It'd be great if y'all would stop reflexively sharing every skeet about LA that confirms your particular political ace to grind. Most of these things going viral are not true, only vaguely accurate, or just inflammatory unhelpful crap. This is breaking news, not a clout building exercise.

It’s funny Zuck says “I started building social media to give people a voice” when in fact, he started building social media to publicly rate the hotness of undergrads.

This whole thread should he used to teach the Streisand Effect. Also, here is the photo of Luigi Mangione and his extended family taken from the website of an elected official who is part of that family.

I used to be proud to have started my career as an intern at The Atlantic Monthly, a once-radical and intellectual magazine that wrote poetically about John Brown and published MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail and Ta-Nehisi Coates's A Case for Reparations. It's now the bible of reactionaries.
