Twiki was a weird case where the body was clearly child-like but the voice was deep Mel Blanc.

Are you one of those teens experiencing weed psychosis that I’ve been hearing so much about?

Homebirth dad. Wouldn’t have traded those first skin-to-skin moments for anything.

Galloway, ugh. Do we blame Ted Talks for guys like this, or guys like this for Ted talks?

My main conventional news source is The Guardian.

Much of my Bsky feed is either news or analysis. I follow AP and Reuters on here. ProPublica. The Trace. Lawfare.

The New Republic, Boston Rev, Liberal Currents.

Gil Duran and Brian Merchant for AI and techbro stuff.

Turns Out There Was Voter Fraud in Georgiaβ€”by Elon Musk The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications.

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search.

But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections.

There is no "one weird trick" to defeating fascism.

There is only hard work.

The hard work of changing ones self.
The hard work of changing one's community.
The hard work of participating in democracy instead of being a spectator.
The hard work of life-long learning.

There is no easy button.

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

β€œThe changes…however, alter the makeup of the [NRC] by eliminating a clause that no more than 3 of the 6 citizen members appointed by the governor be of the same political party. Those appointees also will no longer be required to have experience or education on the environment or conservation.”

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

It’s so hard to have a reasonable conversation about AI, because people refuse to see the massive upsides of job elimination, higher electrical bills, hard drive shortages, poisoning black people in Memphis, and an economy where a handful of pedos with bad hair control your life

Like, USAID still legally exists, still receives budget from Congress, and the few dozen remaining employees (who work at State) still have usaid.gov emails and all our systems and databases still exist.

It's just the 10k of us who actually did the work are gone. Just do that to ICE and CBP.
