losing half your support on one of your strongest issues after 11 months of doing everything exactly the way you want to do it would give most politicians something to think about, but miller's calling these shots and he's not a politician

Your boss has more ways than ever to monitor what you're doing at work Thanks to tech advances, bosses are gaining new ways to track what workers are up to — and sometimes that even extends beyond the office.

"Any workplace surveillance should have strict limitations on its use," EFF’s @legind.bsky.social told @BusinessInsider.com. That might include not using the technology outside the workplace or beyond work hours. www.businessinsider.com/employee-su...

ICE arrests are forcing American moms to leave their jobs A new analysis shows that increased immigration enforcement is reducing labor in the child care workforce. The ripple effect is impacting mothers with young children.

A lot to unpack here about class, gender, and caring work 19thnews.org/2025/12/ice-...

A day before this event ICE raided the Greenway Apartment Complex after a maintenance staffer with IPG opened the door. It's not entirely clear whether DHS/ICE had a judicial or admin warrant.

Foone is a real one, and makes all sorts of cool things possible

Lol at every university trustee and law firm partner who concluded they had no choice but to play ball with this bumbling fool

I've literally heard people explicitly state it is an honor and I always think "how can it be an honor if you have to pay to be in it?"

It's like any other "for exposure" show

Disney’s OpenAI Deal ‘Appears to Sanction’ AI Company’s ‘Theft of Our Work,’ WGA Says The Writers Guild of America said that Disney's huge licensing deal with OpenAI appears to "sanction" the AI company's "theft of our work."

Companies including OpenAI have stolen vast libraries of works owned by the studios and created by WGA members to train their artificial intelligence systems. We have repeatedly called on studios to take legal action and defend the intellectual property we help create. variety.com/2025/digital...

On today's AI news, a quick reminder:

If you're working at a studio, never put your friends, your children, or some character you made up when you were 15, into your studio project.

They own it all once it goes in there and will do whatever ghoulish things they want with it for the rest of time.

Trump Grants Tina Peters a Legally Meaningless 'Pardon' Read more here.

BREAKING: Donald Trump claims he has granted a “full pardon” to Tina Peters — the Colorado election denier serving a state sentence.

Presidents cannot pardon state crimes. His statement has no legal force.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

"Trump will just defy court orders, what's even the point of litigating"

This, this a point

having a category for accessibility and then having a whole segment with flashing lights and no epilepsy warning or filter is so trash

I wrote dis! I interviewed the composer, Lorien Testard who shredded the guitar. READ NOW!

Really useful analysis of data to show how many people are going to ICE detention from local jails. These arrests are less visible to the public - as compared to raids or street arrests -- so we don't see the full scope.

Wow ... So, all applicants for H-1B and their dependents (including children) must now set their social media accounts to public. Can't imagine what this will do to tourism in the US.

i made this in december 2023 but never shared it bc i felt like it'd just bum everyone out

When these guys talk about the country taking a 'wrong turn' they mean in the 1860s, not the 1960s.

It's great to witness Trump's times because you see the emperor has no clothes. The dictator is a clown, & he's not smart. But he still maintains power. Many of history's great conquerors may have been just as buffoonish.

When I tell you this book is a *necessity* in these trying times and also that it is an accessible read for non-lawyers!!

Just when I thought I’d seen every black work coif out there I see another one for the first time. I love the shape of the motifs #DressHistory #Embroidery

No, getting measles is not better than getting vaccinated. A chart shows measles infection and measles vaccines both cause protection from new measles infection, but only measles infection also causes Encephalitis (brain swelling), which can lead to convulsions and leave children deaf or with intellectual disability; SSPE, a brain disease that appears years after initial measles infection and is almost always fatal; Pregnancy complications, including premature birth and still birth; Hospitalization; and death. Text at the bottom says "Measles vaccines are safe. Getting measles is not."

Hundreds of people have been quarantined in a measles outbreak in neighboring South Carolina. Measles is extremely contagious, and infection is NOT a safe way to develop immunity. Get vaccinated to protect yourself & others. Learn more about measles: www.healthychildren.org/english/heal...

NEW: Republicans want us to focus our attention elsewhere so they can continue planning to subvert the 2026 elections. They want voter suppression and election denialism to become routine. For the next 11 months, our job is to prevent this from happening, @marcelias.bsky.social writes.

So much of the hideous bullshit of modern business makes a lot more sense after you realize that the “customer“ for the products being peddled aren’t actual human beings that go “Oh, that looks good, I’ll buy that,” but the investors shoveling money into the burn pits of these go-nowhere companies.

If you’re in line to bow to Donald Trump at this late date, you can go ahead and get out of line.
