Reading Everything is Tuberculosis by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social and feeling a strange urge to click 'like' on the printed page as I read particularly impactful passages

www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i... Meanwhile

This is an insane thing to post in the middle of actively shutting down any organization connected to the government that uses the words "diversity", "gender" or "woman"

This is grim as hell

This seems bad

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation." (gift link)

Now under Trump, the NIH says it is cutting ~$9 billion in federal research grants supporting medical research ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's diseases. “I think it’s going to destroy research universities in the short term, and I don’t know after that." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/u...

Trump Claims He Can Overrule Constitution With Executive Order Because Of Little-Known ‘No One Will Stop Me’ Loophole

Just gonna put this here...

Trump: "My administration will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes. And it's gonna end, and it's ending right now, and nobody is gonna be able to do a damn thing about it, because when I speak, we speak with authority."

Insane

Trump has instructed the CIA to offer buyouts to ALL CIA employees. I’m sure Trumps wants to work closely with Vladimir Putin and Tulsi Gabbard in establishing a new CIA. We’re so fucked. #DemVoice1 www.reuters.com/world/us/cia...

this is complete ethnic cleansing and genocide. untold horrors are about to begin, across the entire world. america is driving ybe earth into a complete death drive

Me: Oh no that trolley is going to run us over! Guy tied up on the track next to me who somehow thinks he's actually the guy holding the lever: Lol cry more 😂

Anyone who happened to know that the White House would announce and then suspend tariffs within 24 hours just made a boatload of money.

You can say this doesn’t matter because billionaires view normal people as instruments for their will but keep in mind we’re talking about a guy who cried after being booed at a Dave Chappelle stand up set

[my house, 20 years from now, listening to "baby, it's cold outside"] my son: man, this song is real weird me: it used to get cold outside

I'm pretty sure both the Klingons and the Romulans tried this exact plan at some point

By tomorrow I'll have scrolled through my social media feeds sufficiently to become an expert on the internal politics of South Korea so probably have a hot take by then

I need to learn how to draw extremely-on-the-nose political cartoons that go viral with boomers on Facebook. Make the big bucks

I made a thing 😊💜😅 go.bsky.app/Tg2K9bB

I like that Biden said "I respect the rule of law, and will not pardon my son Hunter" then the election happened and he's like "I see the American voter actually doesn't give a shit about the rule of law. Fuck it, pardon Hunter"

Living a normal existence is an exhausting ordeal

Okay, folks. It's DARKMAN time. This is going to be a hefty thread, one which I may have to build over time (my wife and I wanna get a Christmas tree today, after all). Ages ago, shortly after my six year old brain was properly blown in half by Batman '89, I was browsing our local video store...

(narrator voice) of course, if they had stopped to think, they would have realized that they were both correct

Been wrestling with how to caption this for nigh on ten minutes. I’m dumbfounded. An assault on both taste and the senses

ME: Is he going to make it? DOCTOR: No. I’m afraid he’s down with the sickness ME: *crying* oohwahahahah DOCTOR: *holds hand* oohwahahahah
