I'm seeing a lot of people expecting their Tromp voting friends to suddenly feel bad about their choices, but the thing is, they very much knew this was also what they were voting for, even if they weren't open about it at the time

These attacks on section 504 are so depressing and honestly foolish. People think they're somehow immune from becoming disabled and many are in for a nasty surprise in the future.

The "Gulf of America" thing is ridiculous, but if the press gives in on this, the administration will just keep pushing - maybe conditioning access on deadnaming people, saying Trump won the 2020 election, you name it. Draw a line in the sand now, while the stakes seem small.

I feel like that older/younger YA imprint has the right idea, in that we desperately need more books targeted at 12-14yo kids. HOWEVER, a warning label on books for teens is an actively terrible idea.

Hey so, that Microsoft Word subscription price hike email you just got? That refers to an AI-heavy version of MS which you can absolutely opt out of and maintain your current, “classic” subscription at a lower price. Thanks @lzats.bsky.social for the tip!

Hi friends from Canada / Mexico: I’m so sorry our President is being a shit. I know what you have to do is going to suck for our country, but your actions are economic self-defense, and you have to stand up to bullies.

Art is empathy. Art is shared wisdom. Art is political. Art is protest. Art is humanity. As everyone is searching for how to fight back in these times, remember art is important. That's why the fascists are coming for artists, too.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask: "Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?" And see what happens.
