The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

I'm really tired of people so caught up in how things are that they refuse to discuss how things should be. Injustice doesn't somehow become good or right just because it's legal or common. Bad things are still bad, even if they're "just the way things are". Ethics should challenge the status quo.

quick reminder that kim davis has no business dictating anyone else’s personal life when hers is the stuff of white trash reality shows

Davis has been married four times to three husbands. The first three marriages ended in divorce in 1994, 2006, and 2008. Davis has two daughters from her first marriage and twins, a son and another daughter, who were born five months after her divorce from her first husband. Her third husband is the biological father of the twins, the children being conceived while Davis was still married to her first husband. The twins were adopted by Davis's current husband, Joe Davis, who was also her second husband; the couple initially divorced in 2006 but later remarried.

The main lesson I've learned from this is how many people don't understand how political dog whistles work.

Disabled people are not expendable. We’re not stealing your tax dollars. We aren’t lazy. We can’t “try harder” our way out of disability. The Nazis started with disabled people for a reason. They knew no one would fight for us. Want to resist? Engage in disability justice (and wear a mask!)

Friendly reminder that the "25 year old minor" is also part of a larger propaganda push to deny abortion and birth control. It was also part of the same push to keep young people from voting. They don't believe in us having bodily autonomy. They don't believe in consent.

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority? ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles /

Wild case of ChatGPT almost killing a guy by telling him to substitute sodium bromine for table salt (sodium chloride) #medsky www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...

With improvement, he was able to report that he had recently noticed new-onset facial acne and cherry angiomas, fatigue, insomnia, subtle ataxia, and polydipsia, further suggesting bromism. He also shared that, after reading about the negative effects that sodium chloride, or table salt, has on one's health, he was surprised that he could only find literature related to reducing sodium from one's diet. Inspired by his history of studying nutrition in college, he decided to conduct a personal experiment to eliminate chloride from his diet. For 3 months, he had replaced sodium chloride with sodium bromide obtained from the internet after consultation with ChatGPT, in which he had read that chloride can be swapped with bromide, though likely for other purposes, such as cleaning. Gradually, over the course of a 3-week admission, his chloride and anion gap normalized and psychotic symptoms improved. He was tapered off risperidone before discharge and remained stable off medication at a check-in 2 weeks after discharge. His bromide level ultimately was 1700 mg/L (21 mmol/L; reference range, 0.9 to 7.3 mg/L).

If it’s fucking raining and everyone says it’s fucking raining and the meteorologists say it’s fucking raining and you’re out there in the rain getting fucking wet and someone tells you it’s not raining, that doesn’t make them a “wet weather skeptic” it makes them a fucking idiot

Epstein survivor Annie Farmer calls for releasing the grand jury transcripts: "Given the magnitude and abhorrence of Epstein and Maxwell's crimes, unsealing the grand jury transcripts is not just appropriate, it is necessary to understand the full scope of the abuse and those who enabled it."

I'm less than a year out of my last apartment that had a small mold problem, but any amount of mold was too much after spending years in an apartment with a bad mold problem before that. Between you and @pushinguproses.bsky.social I'm feeling solidarity with YouTubers recovering from mold exposure.

I also watched Robot Dreams via Kanopy, with my county library card in Texas. If anyone's local library doesn't offer Kanopy, some major cities/counties allow anyone in the state to get a library card, though you may have to visit a location in person to get one.

AI chat bots cannot actually report the news. And I don’t say this on aesthetic grounds - I say this on “they do not exist in 3D space” grounds. We will soon have no news whatsoever if this continues. Too many people still either haven’t realized this, or don’t want to believe it, but it’s true.
