KENDRICK JUST NOW

Well the good news is Bluesky is finally good enough to follow breaking news, and i don't have to go to Elmo Land.

Queer folks and immigrants are top of my mind, but I'm also thinking about my fed friends today. Like, damn 💕

Me: Well, I've been resting with this headache for a little while, I wonder what's going on in the world My phone: Go back to your headache

I was sad but holding it together until i saw that video of elon. that shit just hit me like a ton of bricks

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

probably worth remembering that most of Trump's executive orders will be symbolic, not-legally-enforceable bullshit and you should: - follow non-sensationalist sources for analysis - wait to panic until things shake out a bit

Thinking of trans people today, the attacks and bigotry they'll endure over these years, and the failure of mainstream media and greater society to behave with decency and offer support to the marginalized. We must be brave, take action, and listen to those who ask for help, for the good of us all.

DEM SENATOR: Well there’s always next time 😃 a hearty “good game” to my colleagues across the aisle as they shepherd our great nation in the spirit of collaboration and teamwork! 🦅🫡 REPUBLICAN SENATOR: Does anyone know when it’s technically legal for me to kill this [SLUR NO ONE HAS SAID SINCE 1889]

i'm sorry, what the fuck?

ugh, absolutely www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Serious Mr Burns shit. Wanting to be loved while hoarding his wealth like a dragon. At least Carnegie built libraries

what about the underperformer Zuck, who wasted billions of dollars on a VR Second Life used by like 5 people

I am more sorry than I can say about this but: every big information crisis leaves us interacting less with actual humans as the technologies we’ve invented can do certain things in ways that press our supernormal stimulus buttons better than people. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superno...

This whole thread is excellent

or play a ttrpg. or a sport. Just go do something with actual people in the real world just for a little bit, please. This nonstop exposure to a constant stream of 26 million consciousnesses is not what the human brain was designed for or is remotely equipped to handle

I should be able to follow a starter pack as a list. I don't always want to follow 25 new people. But I might want to browse them in list form

Just gonna say that we never should have shoveled VC cash at kids that never lived in the world for even a minute.

t is probably worth thinking about what is happening in Silicon Valley as a revolt of the bosses against their workers. none of this is rational. it is simply causing misery for the purpose of causing it.

Of course it's climate change, but it's not *just* climate change www.propublica.org/article/they...

Watching a paragraph's worth of "..." and getting an "OK" back is a different kind of panic.

imagine if instead of begging trump to be the good guy he isnt, gavin newsom talked some shit about trump being a political jackass while a major american city burns and that a real leader would shut the fuck up? but instead we get the usual democratic party weakness.

Most succinct fact-check I've read of how LA Fire Dept's budget wasn't recently cut -- in fact, the opposite -- from @politico.com. But that misinformation spread anyway. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

How it feels to read literally any headline from the past 24ish hours

What if fare evasion, but for cars?

This brooklyn NYE thunderstorm is insane

just a reminder that your local library has more than just books! many also have dvds, cds, video games, internet hot spots, grindr hookup spots, chupacabras, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, skibidi toilets, gateways to the shadow realm, and so much more! maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚❤️📚❤️📚

Eggless egg custard tart what could go wrong

all my plans for the rest of the year

If you get a gift card, immediately use it. Risk of forgetting or losing the card is too high.

Constantly thinking of this Marilyn Frye quote From @taylorlorenz.bsky.social’s newsletter www.usermag.co/p/tiktok-is-...

This seems silly on like 10 levels but I'm gonna be smug about it anyway www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202...
