Kes!

“Can’t believe I’m just a dateline to my friends.” The story of “horseglue” by Ekko Astral.

here’s your sunday read: how fossil fuel ads, islamophobia and self-hatred in the beltway press corpse led me to write “horseglue,” a two-minute clarion call for accountability in the mainstream media.

if it bleeds, it leads. here we go 🖤

New series just dropped /: #elonmusk #immigration #hawaii TikTok video by Drey

Hey so

Is Elon using kidnapped people at ICE concentration camps to test his neuralink implants at two FDA-approved sites in Arizona and Florida ……?!?!!?!?

Working 80 hours at the Metaverse McDonalds to flip fake patties in my Bored Ape Skin

China just built the biggest bridge in the world, a modern marvel that set ten different world records. Meanwhile we are having the fucking New York Jets and Blackstone bribe our McDonald’s Pedophile President to build the ballroom equivalent of the Flanders house

Periodically I like to beg aloud on here for any editor to let me write about masculinity/the 'crisis of masculinity', given i'm a transmasc reporter who covers mental health ...

It would be nice if his own party's leadership explicitly backed him up on this. Matters way more than endorsing (or not!)

False equivalencies will be the end of us.

Mayor Johnson is cooking

all I'm gonna say is that these posts are hours apart

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

there’s never been a better time to learn your neighbors’ names

Jasper Nathaniel tweets: jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz Look I really don’t care anymore but just want to say that after I was attacked by Israeli settlers, I made multiple attempts to speak with my representatives— @SenSchumer , @SenGillibrand and @RepDanGoldman —and have been completely stonewalled. I am quite literally still in harm’s way and they don’t seem interested in so much as a convo. They’ve even ignored my (MSNBC) mom. Quote jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz · Oct 19 I’ll have much more to say about what’s happening in Turmus’ayya soon. For now, a question to my reps: @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @danielsgoldman — is your unconditional support for Israel worth more to you than the life of your own constituent? x.com/infinite_jaz/s…

A Jewish-American journalist was attacked by Israeli settlers nearly a week ago, and Senate Democrats Chuck Schumer (party leader) and Kirsten Gillibrand (DSCC leader), and Rep. Dan Goldman have apparently completely ignored him:

Why Are Some Democrats Backing MAGA's Anti-LGBTQ+ Censorship? From late-night host cancellations to removing LGBTQ+ history from government sites, politicians in both parties are contributing to the overwriting of the internet — a place where lots of queer and t...

Me and @janus.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com:

"If lawmakers really cared about kids, they’d stop trying to take away their health care ... Instead, many top Democrats in Congress are trying to help Trump censor the internet. And by speaking out, it’s the kids who are protecting us from them."

As much as I hesitate to disagree with Phil on anything, I don't think this is a case of AI mistaking this kid's bag of Doritos for a gun but rather AI mistaking a black male holding an object with his fingers in a certain orientation as a criminal with a gun because that is how it was trained

And sorry, but given the above data point there’s no way in hell he didnt know it was Nazi tattoo.

And one of the other data points is ”Blackwater Guard at Abu Ghraib”

They should just ask her that straight up. No need to build to a slip, Trump and Epstein are famous friends who famously did nothing wrong - why wouldn’t they name it after him?

Maybe that’s why it doesn’t bother me so much as I already have absolutely 0 respect for the Democratic Party . Like even though he’s got the Nazi tattoo he’s more progressive than 40 Dem Senators.

I know this is a mild Chi-Chi's-in-the-'90s salsa take, but I don't think you can count on a man who posted anti-LGBTQ+ slurs until 2021 and knew he had a nazi tattoo by at least 2019 to vote any more progressively than Susan Collins.

Platner reshuffles campaign and sends out NDAs as he struggles to get ahead of controversies The Maine Senate candidate is bringing on a new campaign manager, among other changes.

Not a great look to make your staff sign NDAs after you get caught with a Nazi tattoo.

@heatmap.news is great but in case you aren't a subscriber—which, if you're interested in green power you should be—here is a piece from @billmckibben.bsky.social for us on the same subject: www.motherjones.com/environment/...

NYT headline: U.S. strikes second boat in pacific as anti drug operation expands.

This is driving me crazy. The New York Times calling this madness an “anti-drug operation” is one of the worst forms of propaganda: accepting stated motivations of powerful people as the truth.

there's so much happening, as kevin's thread here illustrates ... but I am just gobsmacked that he demolished a third of the white house. the heavy-handed symbolism of that alone takes us back once again to the inevitable conclusion that we live in a satirical universe written by a total hack.

wow, which common vaccine was it?

Contains no actual apology! But gets right to self-pity and persecution complex.

He’s a good performer and says what people (including me) would love to hear more of politically, but the more I see the more he just seems like a fuckin liar. And possibly worse. A mini-Fetterman in the making. 👎👎

also, how does Platner claim that he had no idea what a Totenkopf was or that his tattoo was one until a week ago when this Reddit conversation he was part of 6 years ago was all about a soldier with a Totenkopf where people discuss the difference between an SS Totenkopf vs. a Punisher skull etc.

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

I started Estrogen on Easter of 23, so every Easter is Trans day of Visibility. Thanks to admin for choosing a hot topless woman to represent us. May we all get to stand tits out on the White House lawn one day!

Trump claims ‘wind mills’ kill whales but quietly torpedoes the… The Interior Department defunds two vital research programs that track North Atlantic right whales near active offshore wind construction sites.

SCOOP from me:

I uncovered that the Interior Department just quietly defunded *two* multimillion dollar research programs studying how whales move and behave near U.S. wind farms actively being built.

Trump blames wind turbines for whale deaths, then cuts vital research on the topic. 🧵

Frequent Questions—Offshore Wind and Whales Frequently asked questions about interactions between offshore wind energy projects and whales.

Trump's own scientists disagree. NOAA's site reads: At this point, there is no scientific evidence that noise resulting from offshore wind site characterization surveys could potentially cause whale deaths. There are no known links between large whale deaths and ongoing offshore wind activities.
