The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Cognition is like strength. Use is required to not just gain, but maintain. The more thinking and cognitive work we offload, the duller we become as a result.

It's like deciding you'll use a mobility scooter without need and then figuring out a year later that you can no longer walk.

You know how there’s been this big push towards encouraging older people to do puzzles, cognitive games, and to learn new things to keep them from succumbing to dementia?

Wonder where that’s gonna go with the rise of “outsource your cognitive functions to AI, it’ll be convenient” culture

Pritzker to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "Trump says a lot of crazy things. I genuinely think there's something wrong with him. I wish his family would intervene... I don’t think anybody around is going to do it bc they’re benefiting from his dementia"

Porn bots must STILL be having success with marks if that is somehow still a thing, right? I guess they could have just been a sex worker trying to drum up business but buddy, do that somewhere else.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Screenshot of a coroner’s report detailing the circumstances of a 17-year-old named Leia’s death. It describes her as intelligent, kind, and loved, and notes that she struggled with gender dysphoria and depression while waiting for treatment. Highlighted sections state that waiting lists for treatment were far too long and contributed to her being without care. The report also mentions community hostility and social media links inciting harm. The coroner’s concerns section emphasizes that long waiting times for first appointments at Gender Dysphoria clinics pose a risk of future deaths. The report instructs that action should be taken to prevent such deaths and requires a response within 56 days.

The coroner explicitly stated long wait lists resulting in hopelessness and social media bullying encouraging her to kill herself led to her death.

Blood is on the hands of every gender critical person who stripped access to care and goes after trans folks online.

Does anyone in the Twin Cities have a folding bike they don't need... and want to donate to @mplscargobikelibrary.com?

When I take our e cargo bikes in to shops for repairs I usually pay for Lime bikes to get myself back home. I'd love to use a folding bike, instead.

spending so much time with the boys that our diarrhea syncs up

I feel like maybe it should be illegal to use chemical weapons on civilians.

It’s kind of crazy that Nazis and the KKK have recently become controversial bad guys because a bunch of bitter online dorks assumed it was about them

of the moral conundrums you will be presented with, as an adult, "stop buying these specific children's toys" is like. the easiest possible

Get your friendsand family of of Meta's garbage apps. Maybe you'll have better luck than I have.

I really love Something For The Girl With Everything, Girl From Germany, and The Lady Is Lingering.

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

Bridgy Fed Bridgy Fed is a bridge between decentralized social networks like the fediverse, Bluesky, and web sites and blogs.

If you're not on Mastodon (which does have problems but is superior to any corpo social network imo), you should consider following @ap.brid.gy so that I can see your posts over there and rely on bsky less. The link below gives some documentation on how it works.

Just continue to use the full word. Folks will understand, and you dont have to sound dorky!

We are changing our antifa secret handshake to slap-slap-fistbump-fistbump. Then you snap your fingers once, eat everyone's pets, and make everyone within 50' instantly become trans. Pass it along.

they tried to create something too cool for this earth

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

The nominative determinism of this specific atrocity is off the charts here.

I've always disliked it because either sounds bad and “antifascist“ is only two extra syllables

I love #GhostOfYotei, but after like 90 minutes spent on one boss I think O need a break for a couple of days. I /could/ have lowered the difficulty for that duel, but c'mon!

4 months.
