The MAGAs are really, really blatantly firing a ton of women in the federal government and military for the crime of being women, and it is embarrassing when people ignore or downplay this.

counterpoint: no they aren't, they're going to come up with increasingly intricate and convoluted explanations for why things aren't lining up with their expectations of reality. Stop waiting for people to "come to their senses", you're not going to get to say "I told you so" to anyone

Palmer’s ridiculous ‘trumpet of patriots’ party has a dumb logo plainly invented by AI. The 64 spikes around the outside are all different shapes and sizes and the stars on the Australian flag are mis-shapen. A joke

Climate change is moving faster than scientists projected & they're not totally sure why. One possible explanation is declining cloud cover. If that's true, we may be entering a feedback cycle that accelerates warming much faster than we've modeled.

Newsletter: Generative AI is a marketing con perpetuated by Sam Altman and Dario Amodei through a mixture of lies and half-truths carried by a tech media that fails to ask the right questions. Outside of ChatGPT, generative AI companies barely get any traffic at all. www.wheresyoured.at/longcon/

If the president can ignore court orders and illegally circumvent, Congress, there is no Constitution. It’s gone. There’s no enumerated right that the president can’t take from you, no law Congress can pass that is binding, and no court that can protect you from any of it. It’s the whole ballgame.

We do believe trans people's access to medical care and opportunities to participate in sports should be subject to public debate, we just deplore the direct results of subjecting them to public debate

@davidshoebridge.bsky.social why did the Greens Senators vote as a bloc against the Senator Dean Smith motion to guillotine debate Monday on the mainly uncontroversial financial services law package that has been dragging for 18 months? It certainly won’t pass tomorrow, if today is any indication.
