trillion dollar industry that will revolutionize everything

Terry Pratchett had this one nailed in Feet of Clay we don’t do kings here

incredible exchange, @marisakabas.bsky.social

Big Tech is a huge problem. But gutting Section 230 will make Big Tech bigger and kill off alternatives like Bluesky and Mastodon. We're in the middle of a fascist coup but Senate Democrats are stuck on stupid on this issue. Call your Senators again and again until they get it BadInternetbills.com

Donald Trump is not a king and America will not bow to this insanity. Resist. Organize. Do not comply.

As they DOGE ✂️ programs for regular people & mass fire federal workers (largely veterans), Trump’s Tax Cuts: -Add $4.6 TRILLION to the deficit -$48 BILLION to top 100 firms A wealth transfer to the top. They don’t care about the debt, and never did. www.benzinga.com/25/02/437748...

They are going to wipe out farmer's and then throw a bone to look competent. Farmer's are in big trouble. Global food insecurity will be very ugly, especially for those who have never wanted tor anything

The official White House account posted this.

Yes, the employee at McDonald’s should be able to afford rent, groceries, bills, health care and retirement plans with their paycheck alone. That’s what jobs are for.

They did this with the federal workers overseeing our nuclear weapons stockpile, too. Starting to sense a pattern in this kakistocracy.

Rand Paul has introduced a National Right to Work Act. The bill is an attack on organized labor and workers across the country. It would make it harder for workers to unionize, win good contracts, and maintain their unions.

With everything going on I needed to do something cathartic, and really wanted to try a WWII-style poster with Sheena. I really love old poster graphics from that time period and figured it was a fitting theme!

C&EN: 'Long COVID studies stymied by pharma’s lack of cooperation' 'Academic researchers want to repurpose drugs for the condition. Manufacturers aren’t supplying them' 'Avindra Nath believes he has a way to treat certain people with long COVD...' cen.acs.org/pharmaceutic...

Just got a cardputer to be friends with my flipperzero. And also possibly the smallest writing deck.

“While Ahmed scavenged for food in the north, Ghaith took his first breaths. While Ahmed ran from airstrikes, Ghaith took his first steps.” Read Palestinian writer Samah A. Abuishaiba's story of a father trapped in Northern Gaza for the first year of his son’s life: zeteo.com/p/15-months-...

[Repost] Moropus elatus stallion (bull?) sketch. My first time drawing a chalicothere, pretty cool animals. I leaned more to the horse-like integument like with a full mane and colors inspired by the black forest horse. Art from Dec. 2023 #paleoart #chalicothere

No rest for the wicked. More "Dinosaurs Survived!" stickers are coming... Velociraptor, Torvosaurus, Allosaurus, and more! Just need to figure out which local birds to match them with. #paleoart #sciart

This shit pisses me off SO MUCH like certain people can not get the help they need?? There is a difference between using your disability as an excuse and needing help. Why are you laughing at someone who is mentally ill, do you find it funny that they are suffering??

The top criminal prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in Washington quit today, citing pressure by the Trump administration to open what she viewed as an improper criminal probe of a federal contract. ca.news.yahoo.com/senior-u-pro...

Part of what your witnessing is the attempt to erase the concept of public good. It’s far easier for a fascist regime to control a population that sees itself solely as individuals trying to respond to conditions, instead of a public that can change/create conditions.

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

Despite a backlog of nearly 3.7 million cases in U.S. immigration court, the Trump administration has fired 20 immigration judges without an explanation, according to a union representing federal workers. minnesotareformer.com/2025/02/17/r...

Embrace graphic novels 1/ ?

Hey babes today is a great day to make the video you had in mind, start working on that project you’ve been dreaming up, full send that post. Believe in yourself and the things you want to accomplish.

As an author of historical fiction, I completely agree. The number of random serendipitous things that Just Show Up during research and then make it into books is unbelievable.

BREAKING: DOJ refuses to provide Judge Chutkan with any numbers regarding last Friday's firings. DOJ also refuses to make any commitment regarding what "personnel actions" the seven agencies at issue — OPM, Education, Labor, HHS, Energy, Transportation, Commerce — might take in the next two weeks.

We got more snow. Mythic the greyhound would prefer anywhere else got it.

I am tired and over winter and over my neighbors parting late at night.
