I have a hypothesis that humans (and I guess primates) developed thumbs, mostly, to masturbate.

I did not bring a bang to a bob fight. #slaydivision

“Things happen,” says Trump in response to a journalist in regards to the murder of Khashoggi. He would know, as “things happened” to Epstein.

Hey, @josh-kaplan.bsky.social this is really stellar reporting. I’m a bit concerned that you said “we’ve uncovered the first known example.” I’m wondering, can you speak to Myranda Kazos emailing you her investigative reporting on this exact issue a while ago? She’s been covering this for months.

I love the reporting from @propublica.org and this story by @josh-kaplan.bsky.social is stellar. HOWEVER, credit should be given to Myranda Kazos, the independent reporter who did the real ground work and uncovered the story.

ProPublica, please amend your story and issue an apology!!

I refuse to let AI take the em-dash away from me.

Congrats Katie! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social

For my fellow ELDEST of Millennials (maybe) and Gen X. Perfect meme, no notes.

The image is a poster for "Blackout The System," a protest event scheduled from November 25th to December 2nd. The poster outlines a call for a week of non-participation in various aspects of the economy and daily life. The event is titled "Black Out The System" and is scheduled for November 25th to December 2nd. The poster features an outline of the United States with an American flag design, and a group of people with their fists raised in the air, some wearing Guy Fawkes masks. The call to action includes "No Spending," "No Streaming," "No Restaurants," "No Travel," "No Work," and "Stay Home." A website, "www.blackoutthesystem.com," is listed at the bottom of the poster.

Call To Action: A General Strike & Boycott Called BLACKOUT THE SYSTEM, Declared For November 25th - December 2nd.

Their strength is your spending and labour. #3E #BindingChaos #BTS #NoKings #EndFascism #EndOligarchy

We just got a huge win for Oregonians - and a check on the president's power: we received a ruling preventing the president from deploying the National Guard on the streets of our cities.

No one - not even the president - is above the law.

This just into the newsroom

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court issues emergency order temporarily blocking full SNAP food aid payments.

What the F is going on with this country? Nothing makes sense anymore.

3 unrelated cases of more severe mpox strain in California are raising alarm in public health circles, “because that means that there’s community spread of clade I that we are not necessarily detecting and don’t have the full capability of detecting,” Cherabie said. thehill.com/policy/healt...

What is that? Not that I know of…?

I had another sex dream about having a 3 way with Trump and Melania. It was really weird, he was kind of abusing her and I was like right between them. I kept asking if she was ok and she was saying yes. So weird. But before the sex, she was kind of fun and making jokes.

The best part of having an atmospheric river rain storm is not the rainbows (which, admittedly, are stunning) but running through the giant mud puddles in your 4x4.

I’ve seen some buzz about this upcoming blackout. Call for limiting consumption, spending and labor between Nov 25 to Dec 2

A potentially more severe strain of mpox may be spreading in L.A. County It’s the first time this particular type of mpox, known as “Clade I,” has been found in the United States among people who had no history of traveling overseas to high-risk areas.

🧵🧵 MPOX
1/9
Three cases of Mpox Clade 1 confirmed in Los Angeles this month, none with recent foreign travel.

That suggests *local spread* is happening.
People here already have it and have transmitted it.

This is concerning - let’s delve in.
(Marathon post ahead!)

Not as scary as the house full of papers I said I’d work on.

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

Two doses of the standard Jynnoes vaccinate should protect against this new clade.

The more aggressive form of MPOX (Clade 1) has shown up in 3 LA county gay/bi residents who did not travel to Africa as the first. This implies it has reached here so you need to make sure you have been vaccinated! Get the full update with me and @dansavage.bsky.social on IG LIVE . #mpox #gay #bi

I’ll have to add that to my list!

mpox (previously monkeypox) has two clades. The prior outbreak (2022) was the less morbid Clade IIb. This new outbreak of Clade I is much more serious and something to keep an eye on! Get vaccinated if you’ve not already; 2 doses JYNNEOS works on both clades.

Is this part of the Murderbot series or something new? btw I finally started watching that last night. It’s fun!

Continuing to cut waste, fraud, and abuse!!

no kings, no billionaires, and no millionaires until everyone has a home and a decent life. #taxthewealthnotthework

I’m teetering on the edge!
