Travis county redraw is INSANE! The sections they’re gerrymandering don’t even connect.

Waste of a perfectly good score, I’m sure.

Easily the LEAST believable thing in Fantastic Four: First Steps isn't flying cars or super powered people. It's that Little Cesar's Pizza is a popular enough chain to advertise in NYC...

No one in NYC is eating Little Cesar's in any reality. C'mon son.

A ‘Real American’… embarrassment.

Also more people should talk about Thiel’s first major censorship victory over the press that this asshole participated in.

From the Airbnb of Ideas…

Love that @wired.com is doing stuff like this.

Ted Cruz is the literal worst Senator ever. How is he still in office???

And might I add, Do It Anyway.

What you trying to be mister reasonable over here?

Y’all, @marisakabas.bsky.social has cracked the code for journalism’s onlyfans moment, literally by telling the truth, and we’re all better for it. 🤣 🙌 👊 🙏

As AI kills search traffic, Google launches Offerwall to boost publisher revenue | TechCrunch Offerwall lets publishers give their sites' readers a variety of ways to access their content, including through options like micropayments, taking surveys, watching ads, and more.

The latest bait and switch offered to news publications, who are desperate because Google made them that way. Great explainer by @sarahp.bsky.social

Not to be presumptuous because I’ve yet to read… but my first impression was Thiel’s demonic form separating from the biohacked-youthful husk body in order to converse with himself. Ya know, like you’d expect from a raging globalist narcissist.

Tends to happen easily when you share REAL journalism. 👊🙌

Excited to hear you’ve got a new @ignitionpress.bsky.social comic coming. Can’t wait.

Long time coming sir. 🙌 👊

Agree, strongly. I’d love to see @bsky.app start using discovery as a more functionally organized way for me to read news links shared, and sorted by list or publication or whatever. This seems so easy, and yet nothing but third parties attempting it.

Was very excited when Last Week Tonight asked @404media.co to help out with research/fact checking for an AI Slop segment that ran last night. I thought it turned out very good! Here's a few mentions of our reporting, and the full segment: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWpg...

Dude! 🙌 👊

I see people saying stuff like "why criticize Substack but give other problematic platforms (like, say, YouTube) a pass?

Which is a fair point.

Thing is, YouTube is a quasi-monopoly for sharable video. Substack wants to have a newsletter monopoly but *isn't there yet*. And it should never happen.

Dang ol' Alex Jones, man, talkin' 'bout blind as a dang ol' bat, you know? Just right there, man, dang ol' thing starin' him right in the face, I tell you what... right there, man.

Ordered. 👊 🙌 🇺🇸

Possibly my favorite protest art of 2025, which is saying a lot given how much there is to protest.

lol, two months ago skeet that is ETERNALLY RELEVANT!! I think about this almost weekly.

YouTube video by CNN 'Weakness masquerading as strength': Hear Newsom's blistering speech on Trump as LA protests persist

This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now.

Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump.

This is how you want a leader to talk.

Hey Austin, this is why we need you out in the streets documenting Tesla's dangerous and irresponsible self-driving experiment!

If you see Teslas with manufacturers plates, take photo and video (or descriptions of behavior you see) and post them with the hashtag #fauxbotaxi. Public info is key!

Palantir Is Going on Defense Palantir threatened to call police on a WIRED reporter and kicked out other journalists from a recent conference following reports of the data analytics firm's work with the Trump administration.

All political coverage should be sorted into two feed categories: Important / Distraction (until which point the reporters all figure out how to identify a distraction rather than covering it.)
