This is amazing! Neal Adams would be proud.

Sesame Street is officially UNION! Workers at Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, have voted 55-19 to join @opeiulocal153.bsky.social

Huge congrats to @sesameworkersunion.bsky.social! “We can officially say that today, May 15th, is brought to you by the letter U!”

Warners Reverses Course: Changes Max’s Name Back to HBO Max WBD CEO David Zaslav announced the move, with the company declaring, "no consumer today is saying they want more content, but better content."

Contrasted with NYT, here's a newspaper exercising responsible editorial judgment.

Thought Bubble stands with Trans people.

We want to make it extremely clear that Thought Bubble is a safe, welcoming and supportive space for Trans people.

Trans rights are human rights.

Tout this widely. The biggest danger right now is, as @dandrezner.bsky.social said yesterday, pluralistic ignorance, when “people who hold a majority opinion are unaware that it is a majority opinion”. We need to broadcast all the signs that the town halls etc are not a fluke.

Good thing AI never makes mistakes, huh?

Got a little preview of TMNT 8 (pre order ends Monday) and man-- you're not ready. This series really has the makings of a new classic era for the Turtles. Definitely worth a pickup!

The US government thinking it has any chance of keeping my loyal to them when my local Chinese takeout spot is stuffing this fucking container to the brim with orange chicken is delusional. Long live the CCP

Well, Georgia friends, here's someone to yell at first thing tomorrow

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Damn, that’s a really good drawing of an ant!

Cowards.

It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

USA Transhealth The trans community has resisted throughout history thanks to our collective struggle. Today we exist because of our collective unity. Transsalud is also a refuge for Trans Health for our brothers and...

If you're from the USA and you are trans, this is for you:

Google drops its pledge not to use AI for weapons or surveillance

I respectfully disagree. Though many do work in the lab, late one night, their eyes do not always behold an eerie sight.
