This is fine, as long as he didn’t say any mean hurty boo-boo words about Charlie Kirk, right?

Punctuation is important too 😏 youtu.be/P_i1xk07o4g?...

i need yall to stop thinking that shitty people who do shitty things must be doing them because they’re being blackmailed. almost always, they do the shitty things simply because they’re shitty people.

a chart showing the percentage share of nuclear in spain pretty much level since 2010

a chart showing the mix of power gen in spain

One of the many weird claims going around for Spain is that the blackout happened because they 'phased out nuclear power'

Except...................they didn't? The share of nuclear in Spain is at the same level as it has been for years

It pleased me greatly that she a) found her way to you and b) thinks of me when she sees historic saltiness.

One of my other friends forwarded this post to me on the grounds it sounded like something I would say. I was like, yes, we were taught linguistics by the same people. It apparently had a lasting effect 😆

Lobster fighting meme everyone is leftists, including the lobsters

“Bluesky is too much of an echo chamber”

have you spent five minutes in a political discussion here

The dollar crashing is great news for all of us Brits who've found the US unaffordable since Brexit, except when we try to visit we're going to be turned away at the border because we liked a tweet saying slavery was bad

Every prisoner swap with Russia is like "she is a 14-year-old girl who Putin said sang 'Carol of the Bells' too aggressively and he is a top Russian spy who personally strangled a dissident to death in a London coffee shop"

In 100 years we are going to get a definite explanation for how the dawn of The Information Age resulted in the dumbest people imaginable running the country

In case useful for anyone trying to understand how it feels that we’re rolling back to the dark ages in understanding of science.

(In conclusion: it won’t last forever, but it’s going to be rough as fuck for quite a while. Turns out all those “gatekeepers” to publication were doing something.)

Great comic timing from the Danes here.

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

People were mean to him on Twitter, so he bought Twitter.

People were still mean to him, so he bought the US government.

And he is going to use it to hunt down those bad people!

FFS we asked young white men to be aware that other people exist and to not be date rapists and somehow this became “constant scolding” that drove them to Nazis 😐

scores of pissed off Mormon CIA agents who just got canned are ideologically cross-pollinating with platoons of fired trans FBI agents. we are on the verge of new types of politics our ancestors could only dream about

A remarkable statement: Jeff Bezos decrees that henceforth, the Washington Post opinion pages will serve the rightwing political project.

Probably self-evident to many people, but I think it’s worth unpacking why that is explicitly and unequivocally what this statement means:

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue:

1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance
2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion
3. Don't live post resistance meetings

Under fascism, no one is safe.

Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.

Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.

Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

I'm sorry for your loss 🩷

Norwegian oil giant Equinor cuts green investment in half Equinor will slash investment in renewable energy while ramping up oil and gas production.

We all know fossil fuel companies are beyond shameless, but it takes a special kind of sociopathy to announce $9.1 billion in profits, and a 50% cut to renewable energy investments ON THE SAME DAY.

Great work as always, #Equinor 🤮

I would like a word with whoever taught cis people that if they see a trans person who is upset about the rise of transphobia, they have to tell them they’re “valid”

I’ve been out as trans for 13 years. I know I’m a man, I don’t need your personal validation, maybe protest against fascism instead?

I'm feeling so much rage right now - I can only imagine how much worse it is for you. Sending love 💖

Whew

When you call yourself a "child of God" but clearly have no idea what happened to the biblical Goliath.
