Professor X: Hold, old friend. If you wish to take this military base hostage, you first must kill these five fifteen year olds I found. Magneto: for fuck’s sake, Charles.

Of course the NYT sees the "DEI" stuff positively & is neutral on anti-trans discrimination

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez warmly embraces Zelensky at today's Ukraine summit in London.

Lmao

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Fantastic news. More countries should do the same.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers wants his state to become the first state to audit insurance companies over denying coverage. More of this, Democrats.

Training Grok 3 took Elon 200,000 GPUs and untold billions, and it's ... decent at best? I wrote about AI's commodity problem www.platformer.news/too-many-ai-...

Several Department of Education employees told ProPublica they were directed not to contact students and schools about their pending civil rights cases. “We’ve been essentially muzzled,” an attorney said. By @jsmithrichards.bsky.social and @jodiscohen.bsky.social

Breaking: Elon Musk promises to treat the IRS data downloaded by DOGE like his children and completely ignore them.

genuinely don't get why anyone who is not subscribed to musk's political project is throwing content up there. this & all other evidence dismantles the argument that one needs to 'stay and fight' the war of ideas (lol) on a platform that is making it clear as day it will not give you a fair fight

it's woke to think planes should stay in the sky

new from me: Elon Musk's X appears to be blocking links to directly contact users on Signal Signal, the encrypted messaging app, has recently become a major tool for government workers looking to blow the whistle on DOGE

Too many people on here seem to believe there are exactly two kinds of Americans: ardent politically-obsessed Bluesky users, and frothing MAGA cultists. There are a LOT of people in this country who *just don’t pay a lot of attention one way or another*. And we absolutely can reach them.

The twin peaks police department hates to see him coming

Playbook | Sources report growing tensions between Republican senators who roll over for Trump and Republican senators who issue disapproving statements before rolling over for Trump.

Oh. So apparently people who support the mass layoffs of federal workers think they will be getting money back. A check. They think that's Musk's plan. I'm not even joking. They think they're getting "their money" back. We're cooked. We got too stupid too fast as a society.

The bricks didn’t throw themselves! Stonewall would not have happened without the trans community. You can’t change history, and we won’t allow you to erase our family!

Eric I’m sorry but you have to go to jail

I realize I'm coming at it backwards but 'Under the Skin' owes 'Solaris' royalties

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

absolutely wild. i went to youtube to watch a video and the autoplay ad was an AI fake of tom hanks spouting fake diabetes cures. google is making money off this???

I am still mad that crypto now stands for cryptocurrency and not cryptography because the crypto wars are back except they aren't because crypto doesn't mean what it used to www.theverge.com/policy/61213...

It's a civil suit, not criminal charges. Nazi barbie over here is a disgrace to the legal profession.

You’ll never guess the obscure 18th century law that prevents Trump from declaring himself a King!

sucks that this is all happening in an era where we’re burdened with the knowledge that cigarettes are bad for you

They need to bring back this aesthetic on tech

nikola jokic is a mad scientist

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

The Mavs voluntarily trading a young Luka in the dead of night to the Lakers a year after going to the Finals is the kind of thing that will forever recalibrate what I believe can happen in professional sports. If THIS can happen, anything can happen.

Look, I have lots of thoughts about the trade. But I just, at base, still can’t believe Luka Dončić is a Laker.

POV: You see someone who didn't like the halftime show.

the menswear guy when a fascist dressed like a magician is mouthing off

When you see a conservative influencer calling the Kendrick performance a DEI thing it’s worth keeping in mind just how many conservative influencers are failed screenwriters/stand ups/filmmakers who only understand any form of art through a lens of spite

Jackson Mahomes right now

This team was Howie Roseman's masterpiece. The most loaded Eagles team of my lifetime in terms of pure talent. Roseman has now built two championship teams with two different quarterbacks and two different head coaches. Looking like a HOF resume.

Tired: conservatives hate Kendrick because they're racist Wired: conservatives hate Kendrick because they feel attacked by his anti-pedophile stance

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate Kendrick: actually

i find the slogan “go birds” to be needlessly reductive. how can one team claim the mantle of all birds, while there are teams in all different sports that are represented by birds? this should be addressed
