Every time I see new items like this re Paramount/CBS I fight an internal conspiracy theory about Star Trek SNW which this season bizarrely focuses on het coupling, has no queer characters, no BIPOC-led stories, main women are now coupled w/boyfriends, and most no longer pass the Bechdel test.

Came here to say this (probably not as well).
Every single one of them. We throw them IN THE BIN. None of us are confused about that. The fact that the other side continues to be is why they're the other side.

Guys. GUYS. I don’t want to watch a video of people being murdered. Stop posting or reposting or quote-posting it. Their deaths are not my entertainment. I can find out what happened without being a spectator.
Imagine thinking that a hostile military force preparing to invade will be distracted from its goal by dangling legislation in front of it.
As an Art Historian and Catholic Theologian who purposefully taught this artwork to my undergrad Art Survey course, Ursula is SPOT ON and ALSO it is part of a history of Jesus and gross stuff related artwork and people need to stop being mean to piss Christ.
Part of what’s driving Trump’s attack on the federal government is that his administration is full of neo-nazis who think federal employees are basically all unqualified black women in make-work jobs (eg HUD, Education) or ((communists)) (eg DOJ, State). They actively want to harm such employees
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
The way when Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's we all wondered how they could know.
He was one of those rare talents who elevated anything he was in whether he had a big role or a smaller one.
It's funny I remembered where I put it at 10PM AFTER Labor Day is mostly over, but after having lost if for several years, I finally found the diverse fish graphic I made in 2018. It always bothering me that the school of fish was the same type. That erases the modern, diverse labor movement.

Trump is a liar and when he dies, he’ll lie still
Never thought I'd miss Dan Quayle.
i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat

I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS
btw, you can upload a gif file from your computer (in Bluesky web app) and it will be animated. The trick is upload it via video button.

I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you can’t get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.

Hire a Black woman. We tend to be very good at what we do because we simply are not allowed to be bad at it.
at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.

You don't NEED Freud to understand this. These guys thought they were entitled to a labor continuity from mother to wife: warm meals, laundry, housekeeping, emotional soothing on demand when they feel dysregulated. They also expect a sexual labor bonus on top of that as a reward for adulthood.
If you aren’t comfortable wishing the worst for a terrible person, you can relax knowing I’m picking up your slack and wishing twice as hard.
This is a great time to remind everyone that EOs aren’t laws, the federal government doesn’t manage voting in this way, and it’s all a scare tactic and any reporting that doesn’t provide that context is enabling potentially lawless activity.
I think when it happens we should call it “congestive heart success”

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

Part of this is because a significant number of them are paid to lie regularly and it is important that calling someone a liar is worse than being one
It's always been like this, and it's because the elites are essentially self-preserving, and civility has always been the tool by which non-elites are condemned.
Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict

I've lived through two epidemics (HIV in the US in the 80s/90s and in South Africa in the 2000s) and through COVID with the rest of us. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing has been as terrible as what is happening now. 8/

First time I was ever glad to be 9,000 miles away from @pepperraccoon.com 😬
This is what a pumpkin patch looks like after all the spice is extracted.
It also sucks because @pepperraccoon.com just released another very cool shirt (it has eels! EELS!) that I'd love to order.
Tariffs. The US has removed the "de minimis" exception that exempted small packages from paying tariffs, so now shipping to the US from anywhere is prohibitively expensive. I placed my order just in time to get in under the wire. The shirt, voila.
Siri is great, looking forward to listening to this.
and Claude.
Over the weekend I may have received the last small parcel successfully shipped from Aotearoa NZ to the US. A lovely shirt and some cool stickers were inside. Thanks to @pepperraccoon.com for her good work!
Don’t know who made this but thank you
Tech isn't about innovation, it's about power and networking chokepoints for power. You can innovate all you want, if you don't control or neutralise existing chokepoints your innovation will almost certainly fail to garner any real market success. Silicon Valley is about moats not research.

Thanks, I couldn't remember the details.
As near as I can tell, "Washington" the city doesn't exist legally. DC used to have two municipalities, Washington (basically the federal buildings and environs) and Georgetown, but they both lost their legal status 100+ years ago. Washington is like Hollywood, mainly a state of mind.

On the 7 train home one night, two old Jewish men, longtime friends who had fallen out of touch, happened to meet in a crowded car. They were overjoyed to reunite for the first time in five or six years.
