A stylized painting of someone masturbating, but with multiple fake pop-ups blocking parts of their body. The popups read: "Sorry, this content is not approved for viewing." "Please prove to your holy governing body that you are a law-abiding citizen of legal age to continue thirdpartyIDverification.trustusbro.org" and "Reasons for restriction: Lack of artistic merit, obscene content, depiction of gross indulgence, not christian". To the side, there is a cursor with ?! beside it in a speech bubble.

LMAOOOOO

my bad, it was a dude on this job, but i was right that it was already getting done.

never change, online (complimentary, for once)

This is pathetic even if it wasn't an incomprehensible betrayal of our allies.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.

Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

US media is in the fetal position, living in a delirious haze, desperately trying to pretend everything is normal and this is all boring everyday politics, even as federal troops flood into DC and the entire western world mounts emergency missions to slow Trump down

This sucks & also it was p much never going to end any other way.

Not every act of noncompliance ends with systemic victory. The VAST majority don't.

Noncompliance gums up the system, builds civic muscle, shifts opinion.

This gave us two weeks of national attention on redistricting. That's huge!

If you want TX Democrats' efforts & sacrifices to have a bigger impact:

Blue states:
Call your governor and state reps; pressure them to redistrict (like CA)

Red states:
BE LOUD in your opposition, nationally & locally - make these efforts politically costly.
3/3

May Joanne get exactly what she deserves, which is a painful and ignominious end!

This book rules btw. I wish I had written it myself.

This goes double for nsfw creators. Our options are reduced to almost nil-- We're on the platform we are because the others aren't viable or can't meet our needs. It's not the same as boycotting a regular company.

Social media should be safe for trans people.

Pass it on

@bsky.app & @moderation.bsky.app are really committed to getting this entire app to spend days at a time making up creative dreams for how a billionaire's life could be sadder, aren't they?

I mean if this is what they WANT I'm sure we can all wish JKR ill 24/7/365 but why do they????

This scene is so goddamn funny and only gets funnier with every year that passes. Logan Lucky is an underrated gem of a movie, and you should check it out if you haven't already.

The only things I miss about the hospital:
-unlimited supply of clean burp rags and receiving blankets
-the ice machine with the good ice

Reading an article about the children’s hospital today

aren't you guys excited for this to start happening to the rest of our personal data when every website needs your drivers license starting this fall

"Most of the promotion of A.I. in schools boils down to: Well, it’s happening, and so students need to know.

But there’s nothing attaching it to learning outcomes. There’s nothing assessing its risk to privacy, to data, to the mental and emotional and cognitive development of students."

Update: Just made and consumed a tomato sandwich. It was magnificent.

Potentially good news on the 2025-2026 COVID19 vaccine front. This is one of the ways I’ve been testing to see if updated shots are coming.

Texas Republicans are holding a Black woman, a Democratic state rep, hostage in the legislative chamber. They have locked the doors and have banned her from leaving.

Republicans are holding her

And Dems let her sit in there alone
