I sincerely hope that these examples shine a greater light on the utter depravity of how US jails and prisons operate OVERALL. Because I've traveled miles to see incarcerated people and been REFUSED for no reason AT ALL. This happens A LOT.

BREAKING: The IDF has explained it fired at Irish diplomats in the West Bank because it thought they were Palestinian civilians. How the fuck am I supposed to parody this shit? I quit 😭😭😭

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Protect Violet Affleck at all costs

Today is a red letter day in media history where a major newspaper managed to passive voice the actual publishing of itself

Public comments matter and matter disproportionately because of how few people usually make them. Removing access to *all* COVID vaccines to people under 65 without an “approved” “preexisting condition” is eugenics, conspiracist, & will increase COVID morbidity. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

This writer just punched his career hard in the face, all for an article that he could have written in ten minutes simply by summarizing jacket copy. (Also, given the "AI"-generated errors in other articles in the insert he produced, he's, shall we saying, overrepresenting how carefully he checks)

GUYS. The comment period for this ends in THREE DAYS. PLEASE if you have even a little bit of time, submit a comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD... Let them know EVERYONE should be able to get COVID vaccines. They BACK DOWN when WE PUSH BACK. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

I’m very very tired of the idea that the Best Political Strategy is to fight over a small percentage of bigoted assholes while ignoring the large number of people who want basic things like civil rights; clean food, air & water; education for their kids; affordable housing; healthcare; & decent jobs

Microsoft has disabled the ICC chief prosecutor’s email account. He has also lost access to his email accounts and is threatened with arrest if he enters the United States www.techzine.eu/news/privacy...

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the weather is gorgeous, and I'm tethered to a desk where I just got yelled at on the phone by a woman because the single page form she had to fill out for my company couldn't be run through chatjibbity or whatever she's letting think for her

Using ChatGPT is loser behavior It's at least as embarrassing as buying a Cybertruck

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

I guess the case report of a virgin nun developing an HPV cancer in an internal organ, probably as a result of a blood transfusion earlier in her life, finally convinced them that it’s murderously foolish to slut-shame a virus and better to just prevent it.

BREAKING: Jacksonville Airport is on fucking fire. The parking garage is engulfed in flames and sources are pointing at a Tesla explosion as the ignition point. You can’t make this shit up.

Shoutout to Whitney Plantation, who has always BANNED WEDDINGS at their location and allowed the entire facility and its grounds to be an indoor and outdoor museum. It also houses the genealogical records for over 100,000 enslaved people. You can search for your loved ones in its archives.

If you feel like accurate information has been progressively harder to access over your lifetime you are correct! And that is intentional!!

if you live somewhere that gets severe weather (ie hurricane season) you *really* truly need to read up on what's happening at FEMA. it's in big trouble and i don't think you understand how much FEMA impacts your life in a disaster, like even just getting your debris picked up.

What are we even doing

And none of it good. Also, it's absolutely wild to see 'adapt or die' be said by someone who's defending the idea that we should give in and let computers approximate our thinking for us.

It’s not deportation, that’s back to home country. This is simply kidnapping and endangerment. www.latimes.com/california/s...

for people who love audiobooks: your library almost certainly has access to libby and/or hoopla and will connect you to both for free. This will free you to cancel your audible subscription!

I am once again begging for the shingles vax age floor to be lowered from 55 so I can get it ASAP ;A;

So I haven’t said anything about the whole “grok making everything about white genocide,” but it reminded me about the article I read about Target being able to figure out who was pregnant based on what they bought.

if you are american and enjoy: - porn - any art, really - living in a place where queer people AREN'T being arrested en masse after being legally redefined as "obscene" and "pornographic" just for existing please for the love of god call your reps and ask them to vote 'no' on S.5260

Time to prepare, beloveds. If you are considering stocking up, remember that these pills do expire eventually, and *do not* discuss your actions online or via unencrypted communication. Take no shit, and leave no trace. www.plancpills.org

anybody who works outside in texas summer should be paid one million dollars

I went and opened the hell app and saw this from @melechthomas.bsky.social over there as soon as I opened the app. Be aware, everyone.

To quote my friend @seantcollins.com, the ice cream guy is braver than virtually the entire US government, and so are you.

ME: Give it to me straight doc. Is the tumor malignant? MY ONCOLOGIST WHO THE INSURANCE COMPANY REPLACED WITH AI: Regarding White genocide,

Knowledge is knowing that ~60% of LLM output is inaccurate. Education is learning *which* 60% of LLM output is inaccurate. Wisdom is understanding there’s no use for a tool that’s 60% inaccurate.

Unlocked for your viewing pleasure. My question is: when is the former CEO who is again the CEO, after the other CEO resigned with no notice yesterday for personal reasons, going to pay for a private dinner with Trump? www.wsj.com/us-news/unit...

I struggle with the reporting on ChatGPT in education because it often confirms society’s negative bias against young people—oh no, this generation is unsaveable!—when it’s possible to just educate people to be less credulous about it. which is why I wrote this: so teachers could print and assign it

NEW! The Trump administration has been ordered to stop dismantling the IMLS and has been ordered to restore the agency to its pre-Executive Order functions and staffing. bookriot.com/massive-vict...
