Thanks for your tireless work and commitment to the cause (of improving lives in our country) 🙏

AT X.com @primediscussion I know people seemingly don't care about this anymore (like at all), but one of the biggest tolls paid by the last 2 decades of politics is a generation of children witnessing outwardly vile, unkind and dishonest people and behaviors repeatedly rewarded.

I have shed tears repeatedly over this

@zialcita.bsky.social 👋 stopping by to share my appreciation for the Denverite article on Neighborhood groups. Interesting and useful info on how some leaders are working to increase engagement. Thanks.

Omg. My girls got my humming a different KPDH song everyday. 😆

if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Omg lol

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in.

Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol.

It's like his work never happened.

😆

Worried about that injury

It will never not be amazing to me that journalists and other people in positions of public influence willingly stay on a site that is being openly manipulated on every level by one of the worst human beings on Earth.

"Healthy debate" = when I criticize you

"Cancel culture" = when you criticize me

Good morning girls and boys (among others)!

Here in Chicago, we're girding our loins for whatever's coming this week and plan to...

Be loud.
Take care of our neighbors and friends.
Gum up the works wherever we can.
Video everything we see.
And not take the bait on being violent.

How delightfully selective bodily autonomy applies to vaccines but not wombs. Apparently the Constitution protects your right to spread measles but not to choose motherhood. One can only admire such principled inconsistency. Freedom means infecting babies, tyranny means reproductive choice.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

I’m looking forward to hearing about how this goes. Sounds equal parts grueling and exhilarating.

read trump's new executive order on domestic military dplymt + vigilante "portal." one of the reasons i am happy to be an independent journalist is so I can say that this is crazy, fascist, brownshirts shit without getting pulled into a meeting with PR for "opening us up to criticism from the right"

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

All of the penicillin in use worldwide comes from a strain of mold that was growing on a cantaloupe bought at a grocery store in Peoria, Illinois in 1942.

Thanks for all the posts tonight. I missed the game, so I appreciate the info 🙏

The CBO’s final dynamic score:

“.. Because the bill’s red ink is not offset by more spending cuts or new revenue, CBO found, the legislation will drive up interest rates.”

I can’t say I’ve abandoned hope, but it’s dreary out there and the hope I’m clinging onto definitely doesn’t serve my sanity. Having small children during this time allows me to apply my focus inward (while simultaneously worrying about what our country and the world will look like for them).

Absolutely!! I can’t stand seeing the food wasted, but that 10% of the time they want it later, is no joke.

The First Planned Migration of an Entire Country Is Underway The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

A four panel comic titled Bird Sounds. In panel 1, labeled thrush, a wood thrush sings its beautiful eeohlay song against a forest background. In panel 2, labeled wren, a winter wren delicately sings tweedly tweedly tweedly. In panel 3, labeled warbler, a yellow warbler delicately sings sweet sweet. In panel 4, labeled heron in a death metal font, a heron screams KRAAGH against a background of fire.

Bird sounds.

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you
