From the comments: "[T]o be mentioned TWICE as a thorn in the side of pedos. That’s a badge of honor I’d wear everyday.

To be called "a rather nasty young woman," by Richard Dawkins is another badge of honor.

@skepchick.org, always right about these heinous creatures.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Yay! I was following them all but 2! Woot!

We need to support the people Trump is stepping on It's a long way from 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' to the president and his attempts to decree trans Americans out of existence.

As always, I love this take from @neilsteinberg.bsky.social.

Feds start making immigration arrests across Chicago area: Live updates Trump border czar Tom Homan and TV personality Dr. Phil are in the city to observe the operations, according to reports.

Galling. Loathsome. Vile. And by that I mean the Republican and third party voters who enabled this. #BothPartiesAreNotTheSame

Wait, I thought TikTok was evil and a threat to national security.

And yet they appear to be coordinating with Donald Trump to make him look good.

Surely, this means he is also evil and a national security threat.

So much winning.

If Target had any sense at all, they would offer this as an exclusive after-hours event once a month, with limited, erm, seating. Of course, they should also partner with Lyft to make sure I get home safely. #livingmybestlife #sushi #cinnamonroll #wine #target #lyft #takemehome

I do love Chicago. @neilsteinberg.bsky.social always finds ways to make me love it even more.

This is such a key point. Every time someone says “we need less identity politics” they absolutely mean any identity other than white male. The privilege of being white and male (and conservative) is that your identity politics is considered default or neutral.

I will never be okay with the fact that he got away with this.

A once-in-a-decade bomb cyclone is taking shape off the West Coast | CNN Over a month’s worth of rain, hurricane-force wind gusts and feet of mountain snow are coming to parts of the Pacific Northwest and Northern California.

I thought "atmospheric river" sounded ominous, but now they're throwing "bomb cyclones" at California, too? At the same time? Stay safe, my NorCal family and friends. #holyhell #bombcyclone #atmosphericriver

Trump Administration job qualifications checklist:

RFK Jr. is a massive public health threat Dems like Jared Polis shouldn't pretend otherwise.

"People like Jared Polis have been arguing Kennedy could lead a helpful change in FDA policies towards food additives or challenge Big Pharma. But this is like arguing that Trump may do good because he'll fire everyone and thereby vanquish the deep state."

MAGA spent almost ten years furiously railing against people it pretended trafficked children. #Pizzagate And now Matt Gaetz, someone who genuinely traffics children, is nominated for Attorney General and they can't yawn hard enough.

Fakes, liars, and hypocrites, the lot of them.

I see no downside.
