Illustration of a flying dragon lizard perched on a tree branch, displaying large, colorful skin folds extending from its neck to its limbs. The lizard has a scaly greenish-blue body with brown and black spots on the extended skin, resembling wings used for gliding. It has an open mouth, clawed feet gripping the branch, and a long striped tail hanging down. The tree branch features rough bark and some yellow-green foliage. The artwork mimics a mythical dragon while depicting the real animal’s distinctive gliding adaptations.

For those wondering what former Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb has been up to in between then and his current run for Congress, it’s been serving as FAIR’s “law enforcement advisor.” 🙃

A strange find from the Epstein files:

A hacker named Vincenzo Iozzo shares with Epstein a rumor that Peter Thiel was "bankrolling" the neo-Nazi white supremacist hacker troll known as "weev."

Conversation is about financial strategies and "currencies."

Brown University Sold Out on Trans Rights To Restore Federal Funding Brown University, historically a very queer institution, capitulated when it came to transgender rights, cracking down on trans care and barring trans students from sports and key facilities.

Brown, despite its queer history, was one of the first universities to bend the knee to the Trump regime, cracking down on healthcare and banning trans people from sports and key facilities.

But students and anti-fascist groups are fighting back. More in our latest, from @tomatoslayers.bsky.social

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour Ukrainian theater provides joy for children facing Russia's bombardment

Screenshot showing Sam Altman accompanied by "Interview on the implications of AGI" and Yoshua Bengio accompanied by "How to keep AI safe."

TED is one of the biggest enablers of this "AGI" scam, and one of the biggest ways to circle more money amongst more white dudes. Period.

Why not do an "interview" with the myriads of traumatized, exploited workers and those protesting genocide enabled by so-called AI to discuss "safety"?

Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Marc Andreessen share an enduring fascination with eugenics, race science, and transhumanism and there is an entire generation of public intellectuals who benefited and continue to benefit from their patronage.

Pinker, Huberman, Attia, Weinstein, etc.

It’s okay guys, I will survive because I get to read this absolute banger in the meantime from @letsgomathias.bsky.social.

The overturned Calappa hurriedly buries itself back into the sand.

In Japan, when we feel embarrassed,
we say, “I wish the earth would swallow me up.”
Luckily for a Calappa, it can dive into the sand even when there’s no hole to hide in 🦀,,

Trump official allies with Europe’s far right in attacks on migration and hate speech policies US state department’s Sarah B Rogers has become face of White House’s hostility to European liberal democracies

I published this story last week. Anyone who thinks that this speech is conciliatory, or that Rubio and his State Department aren't even more ideologically committed than Trump is not seeing what's in front of their nose www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Photo of LaLa Zanell speaking and smiling at a podium. Beside her is a quotation: "We cannot advocate for Black lives if we are not advocating for Black trans lives." The quotation is attributed to LaLa Zanell, Activist, ACLU campaign manager. Red ACLU logo. "Black Futures Month".

LaLa Zanell is a dedicated force in the fight for trans liberation. Before working at the ACLU, she fought for police reform, advocated for LGBTQ New Yorkers who've experienced violence, and defended transgender rights before the White House and Congress.

High praise from my cat-loving pal Dr. Richard Price for The Librarians. I have learned so much about the 1st Amendment from Richard’s Adventures in Censorship blog. Scholarly & snarky, it’s a must-read. Check out the Fun Home article to learn about the challenge that brought us together.
