The past ten years has just been the same clutch of morons and apologists insisting that Trump would never cross that line and then shuffling along with him to insist that he would never cross that next one.

There's a non-zero chance that the only thing stopping Trump from considering selling Alaska to Russia is the Mercator projection.

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

Today I left the house late because I spent ages trying to find my keys, then I realised I'd put my phone down somewhere so I had to find that too. When I finally arrived at the event I discovered I had the wrong day. By an entire month. The event was called "Empowering Neurodiversity." 😅

They should invent a sympathetic nervous system that can tell the difference between having to make a phone call and being chased by a lion

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.

There’s so much to write an MP about, heaven knows. But wasting £22bn on an unproven* tech that a) won’t help the climate and b) diverts funds from things that will seems a thing we should be saying no to. (* total pile of bollocks)

Great piece of speculative history by @dacemoglumit.bsky.social in the FT on the likely effects of the Musk coup that I dearly hope Rachel Reeves is reading this morning on.ft.com/4jHIz4i

In my years of covering internet culture I’ve always tried to impress upon people that social media algorithms + audiences actively incentivize and reward behavior and people that are almost comically evil and stupid. Anyways now that culture is running the country

If you'd like a silver lining, it's less likely these weeks will be remembered as the start of a lasting fascist regime and much more likely they'll be remembered as the start of the total collapse of the United States government.

What's absolutely maddening about this moment is that media refuses to pay attention to Musk and Vance's neo-Nazi connections because they feel like it's unserious Twitter stuff... except, Musk and Vance take it so seriously they're putting these people in charge of the entire US government

HEADLINE: CDC posts, then deletes, data on bird flu spread between cats and people. The data which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. It is evident the CDC is being muzzled SO let’s talk about what YOU can do to PROTECT yourself AND your pets. 🧪🧵 ⬇️

Senator Schatz, @schatz.bsky.social, rejects idea that Dems should wait for Trump to touch 'most popular' programs to fight. "I'm not going to just wait until they touch the ACA. That's the kind of pundit-brain, poll-tested bullshit that got us into this mess." www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.

Amazing article. "More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media ... actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of ..fear and anger... instead of organizing against [our oppressors]."

Call it what it is. Trump is explicitly stating he wants to forcibly displace Palestinians. As per the Genocide Convention, this is an absolute call for genocide by the United States President. This isn't a matter you "debate". It is something you condemn, no questions asked. #r4today

Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity. Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.
