Apparently you can't just record yourself screaming as a description, so I have relunctantly written some actual words about the problems we're facing as a rescue

A few must haves for any Atari 8-bit home computer book collection. So much fun! #atari8bit #atari #retrocomputing

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital.

Google news screengrab of stories related to the NHTSA "investigating" (read: not really investigating) the Tesla Robotaxi errors in Austin

If I pluck a story at random on the Tesla Robotaxi fail, not a single one mentions that the Trump administration and his courts have taken an absolute hatchet to corporate oversight and consumer protection.

Why? It's kind of important context that regulators can't/won't do their jobs anymore?

It's unclear to me why the US Congressmen are not escorted by big armed cops to push through obstacles to them exercising their legal rights, and instead everyone now defers to the guys with no uniforms or badges or name tags to determine what is and is not legal?

Bluesky is one of the only major social media sites that still doesn't bury your posts for including news sources or outside links and lets you customize your experience to best suit your mental health.

It's why there's an endless stream of opinion pieces about how it's cooked

"The scene... turned violent AFTER federal immigration authorities used flash-bang grenades and pepper spray on people protesting…"

Seems to be a convenient fact many of my Republican colleagues are leaving out in their statements of support for "law and order."

I used the 'helpful advice' of guys who told me women would never be able to stay in comics as pavers on my walkway to staying in comics.

Amusing to see the Efficient Market™ reveal TSLA stock had a corruption premium of >$100 billion, additional value untethered to the company's performance or even policy/legislation, but rather solely to a belief Musk had the President's favor, which he no longer does.

P.S. Now down 10.5%

The pope, who just watched his baseball team lose four games to Kansas City, is hardly the first pontiff to be mad at the Royals

A Black woman who believed in the power of learning. Which amounts to three strikes in Trumpworld.

Canadian PM Mark Carney says he asked Trump today to stop calling Canada the '51st state'.

And that, my friends, is a sign that congressional Republicans in purple states and districts are rightfully starting to panic.

One of the scenarios for Trump's removal from power is a collapse of his authority: if Trump orders the military to attack a NATO ally like Denmark (Greenland being part of it), the military refuses since its an illegal order (NATO treaty is US law), & refuses to follow any subsequent illegal orders

Weekly reminder: The average American diet requires about TWO ACRES of land PER PERSON per year

And that’s food grown and raised by people who are experts at growing and raising food

We need to fight for a safer and more sustainable U.S. food supply, not try to grow all our own food

my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison

💥 BREAKING: Levi Strauss shareholders voted today to reject a proposal calling on the company to cease / abolish all DEI efforts (tally TBD). LEVI Board: “Diversity and inclusion principles are critical in ensuring that our products reflect and are relevant to our diverse global consumer base.”

The NIH is also now in talks with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to broaden agreements governing access to their data, Bhattacharya said. In addition, a new disease registry is being launched to track Americans with autism, which will be integrated into the data. Between 10 and 20 outside groups of researchers will be given grant funding and access to the records to produce Kennedy's autism studies. Bhattacharya did not give details on how they would be chosen, but said their selection would be "run through normal NIH processes."

Gun registry? No. Autism registry? Yes?

Fuck ALL the way off.

Pretty much everything this guy does that isn’t currently a crime needs to become a crime

Reminder that when you see an obvious troll/bot/chud in my comments, just let them be. They want you to engage. Don't. I'll be along to expunge them in due time. In the meantime, let them marinate in their own shittiness, don't volunteer to scoop it up and baste yourself with it.

White guy DEI Affirmative action, Trumper style.

"Republicans were never going to be content with eliminating diversity initiatives. They won’t be satisfied even if they manage to shove everyone except white men out of public life. That’s because they can’t actually compete on merit ... talk about diversity hires" -- @snipy.bsky.social

"Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards."

Ah. Make science white again, eh?

The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.

Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.
