Y'all, this is a Nazi rally. Lizard people controlling the government is one of the oldest anti-semitic conspiracy theories. Call this shit what it is. A Nazi rally. You just know one of the people on this is Marjorie Taylor Greene. I don't even need to read it to know she's involved.

I don’t know, when a government agency is warning its workers to consider communicating with a presidential employee as being read by malign actors, that seems to be MILES over the line of enemies foreign and domestic.

Lindy Li, a member of the DNC national finance committee and top level consultant on the Harris campaign flipped to the GOP as soon as Harris lost. That's why you fucking lost. You have grifter Republicans running your campaigns pretending to be Dems. She's even defending Pete Hegseth.

A federal judge GRANTS a TRO barring the Trump admin from moving 12 incarcerated transgender women to men's prisons or disrupting their medical care. The judge, Reagan-appointee Royce Lamberth, finds their lawsuit likely to win on Eighth Amendment grounds. Doc https://buff.ly/4gR7sYR

We have added a new label, "Low Quality Replies", to cover a set of behaviors that don't fit perfectly into any of our existing labels. This label will be applied to any account whose replies overwhelmingly consist of low-effort, low-substance content.

Don't use AI. Just stop. NO, not even for "good" reasons. If you don't give af about the fact it's built on stolen work (hey, mine are among the millions of works ripped off, btw), care about the devastating environmental impacts, the financial impacts. It's all bad.

A particular non-white person's show getting cancelled can happen for any number of reasons. An entire lineup of non-white people getting their shows cancelled is a lot harder to explain away

Sorry but there’s another huge story here that the DOJ is calling itself ‘the president’s lawyers’ - that’s decidedly Not what they are!!!!!!! I feel insane!!!!!!

Because of course they are

NEW: OPM is now telling federal agencies that workers WILL NOT lose their jobs if they fail to respond to the "What did you do last week" email and that responding is voluntary. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

In times of division, remember to pause to look at who you have joined hands with. If you find yourself on the opposite side of scientists, journalists, librarians, teachers, and multiple Holocaust museums, you should start to consider whether you could be on the side of the baddies.

"In recent years… physical media has largely given way to streaming, making older films more difficult to maintain and leaving others at risk of removal… In an effort to combat this problem, Warner Brothers is now trying a unique experiment by releasing several older films on YouTube for free."

HOW COOL IS THIS? In preclinical studies, Stanford scientists discovered that a harmless skin bacterium triggers a powerful immune response. By tweaking a bacterial protein, they developed a topical NEEDLE-FREE vaccine, training the immune system to fight diseases like tetanus and diphtheria! 🧪🧵⬇️

I hate that this is happening, but I have now seen three people with mutual aid requests that take the same format that have made me suspicious. They look like this:

Recently found myself repeatedly using "them both" to refer unambiguously to two people who both use singular they and I regret to inform you that it's inevitably going to evolve into our new 3rd person dual pronoun, thembo

NEW YORK (AP) — Roberta Flack, Grammy-winning singer known for 'Killing Me Softly With His Song' and other intimate hits, dies at 88.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I tell my cat “I know” when she meows at me but if I’m being honest? I don’t always know

How to change a swastika that cant be removed

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself take pride in how well you worded that IT support ticket.

It's so medically tragic how former presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden all simultaneously lost the power of speech at the exact moment America collapsed into fascism

i often think about how eons before cookie monster was conceived, or indeed before there were minds capable of conceiving, cookie monster was already there, waiting

Wish I were one of Elon's kids so I'd never see him again

I know I’m not alone in my ambivalence here where on the one hand it is so, so bad - in ways we won’t truly comprehend for years - that we have burned bridges this badly with every ally and neighbor; and, also, the planet is so long overdue for the other kids to finally tackle the schoolyard bully

Someone came out of the yarn room

You GUYYYYSSSSSSS The military choir sang Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Mis at the governor's dinner at the white house. Thanks to @beebrookshire.bsky.social for helping me fact check tihs one. As far as I can it's only "officially" been posted on Dan Scavino's FB

I just read this thread for perhaps the twelve-thousandth time &, having made the rookie error of doing so whilst eating lunch, had to literally look away from the screen so that I could chew & swallow instead of meeting my demise via laughter-induced choking. As is, I can barely breathe reading it.

I had a dream last night that Elon was sued for $1 mil in child support by one of his baby mamas and, instead of just paying it, sent DOGE minions door to door to collect donations to cover it, correctly assuming MAGA fools would gladly give more than $1 million & he’d profit. Sounds about right.

It is a twisted combination of funny and frustrating that every Nazi dog whistle they did over the past decade plus, yes, including that OK symbol thing, got downplayed into oblivion by many of the people who feel like they are just all of the sudden heiling out of nowhere.

It’s fascinating, and horrifying, to see the Quiverfull-style Christian patriarchy ideas, that daughters need no education and are there to provide free maid service for the family, in such a different context

my dad was a diabetic who was uninsured for most of his adult life and often couldn’t get the meds and treatments he needed to control his disease. we never voted the same way. but that doesn’t mean he deserved to die at 67. some of you sound just as broken as the people you want to beat.

i'll give the writers some credit here, kash patel possibly being the one to tell elon to fuck off on the bullet points emails is an unexpected twist

I think this is the most infuriating part about all of this. We're letting tech bros, some literally in high school, take over our government.

She recently announced she’s not running for re-election. I think the Minnesota Nice gloves are off.

If you have a device that CAN run Apple Intelligence you need to turn this off as well as the general Apple Intelligence setting. Settings > Screen Time > scroll down to Content and Privacy > turn on Restrictions > Intelligence and Siri > turn off the first three options

Bits from today. Did some running around with my sister and Remi, who fell asleep on the way home. Got the art in the second pic at Goodwill for $4 and was able to just plop it up on an existing nail by the stove, where it fit perfectly. Also: snuggly Fable.

Much better no/yes meme that doesn't use Drake just dropped! (Meme generator template in replies.)

Hey, what's up with books having sprayed edges these days? LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY! I was there! Thread: 1/13

Seriously. I suspect at least 70% of the people reading this have at least one porn search topic they would not admit to even if there were literally video footage of them typing it in.

Are you fucking kidding me?!

I literally reported this Wednesday.

Our new FBI Director sells a supplement that “detoxes other people’s vaccines out of your body.” Sure. Why not.

In love with this @outsidemag.bsky.social story about Wausau's own Muppy written by @blairbraverman.bsky.social Meet Muppy, the World’s Smallest Sled Dog www.outsideonline.com/culture/acti... I got to meet Muppy last year and she was up for every race. Listen to her excitement at the start!
