Aw man, no, RIP Maru the cat. That little man brought so much joy to my life for years and years. ❤️ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maru_(c...
No, not Maru!
This is pure dictator shit and ALSO it is a sign of a flailing regime that they A) Have to demand this because they know they'll actually get boo'ed in advance and B) they're so bad at doing that it gets leaked long before the event
Can’t express in words how big this rally in Chicago is. The president’s fascist goon squad is not welcome here.
Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.
The only way we heal from this is by tossing a buncha these fuckers in jail.
People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC
The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.
More news breaking at Bounces about Donald Trump's visit to the US Open men's final. The US Open has sent an email to broadcasters, obtained by Bounces, ordering them to censor any reactions or protests from the crowd to Trump's appearance. Read more here: www.benrothenberg.com/p/us-open-do...

It really does. We're rolling up on 10 years and it's been so much... Even the bad times had room for fun
Feels like Silicon Valley has truly gone insane and should go back to making simpler stuff: wooden cuckoo clocks, novelty back scratchers. And for their own sake, have most of their wealth seized. What an opportunity for them to learn! A cuckoo clock, delightful.
Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
So much greatness.

Yeah. It was 100% the right choice for me tonight. The hubs tried to suggest new stuff but I was Team Pizza, lol
Wired is one of the only outlets to get the headline right. www.wired.com/story/depart...
I just had pizza. I think you made the better post-vax food choice!
If you’re wondering how much of what RFK Jr said yesterday about vaccines was true—almost none of it was. @FullerLab_UW is one of the most accomplished vaccinologists out there and her article is required reading to separate truth from falsehoods. theconversation.com/how-rfk-jr-s...
May it be an easy one! I got mine today and feel okay so, tomorrow will be ouchy if past history stands.
I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.
It was over a week wait for me! And someone else came in at the same time as my appointment (with adorable, friendly baby in tow). It's usually a day or two wait at most!
Very sad to share that our dear @isobelcarr.com is dealing with more than just a recurrence of her lymphoma. Here is a fundraiser link to help provide the care she needs. And fuck cancer. www.gofundme.com/f/help-krist...
Unemployment “holding steady” is White House-speak for “highest unemployment rate since 2021”. 🤡
Oh my god, Trump actually got the NRA to come out to defend trans people owning a gun.

This is extremely urgent now. If I’m unable to pay my housing utilities ASAP they will be cut off in a couple days. If you’re able to help, whether it’s by donating or resharing, I would appreciate it so much.
God. Such a gross place
Throwing this out there in case it's helpful to anyone: I've only had one virus in the past five years despite being severely immunosuppressed. A big reason why is that I wear a Flo Mask Pro whenever I'm indoors around other people. It's worth the investment IMO. www.flomask.com/products/flo...
God, I wish I could vote for him. He's got IT.
a bunch of complete cranks that are, still, a tiny minority in this country have been allowed to impose their views on the rest of us because not a single person in their party is capable of standing up for the public good in any capacity
With all the usual caveats about how we shouldn’t have to, this is very clever. Suggests it’s worth a Nobel Peace Prize in the first paragraph, talks about commitment to transparency in the second, provide links that they know he’ll never click.

This move by the Trump administration is an overtly discriminatory civil rights violation. Trans people have the same legal rights as other Americans — end of story. There are lots of good reasons to keep certain people from owning guns. Being trans isn't one of them. https://cnn.it/4niJnxG
please keep paying this company to spread misinformation about health because you like their word puzzles
Modern conservatism is literally baby philosophy. I get what I want and I don't care what the costs are. There's no reason to take them seriously any more than you would debate an infant
SEN. CASSIDY (R) : “Do you agree Trump deserves the Nobel Prize for Operation Warp speed?” RFK JR.: “Absolutely.” SEN. CASSIDY: “But you just told Senator Bennet the COVID vaccine killed more people than COVID.” RFK JR.: “….”😬 🤷🏻♂️
These guys are simply not smart.
He's fine
Aw, our affectionate king
Hollow Knight Silksong Options Menu. Sadly no accessibility menu, and the only options I could see for accessibility are full controller remapping, vibration on/off, HUD scale sizing from Off/Small/Large, Camera Shake On/Off, Hero Voice On/Off during gameplay/combat and that's about it.
Sec. Kennedy is, as usual, lying. Scientists and physicians across the country and indeed around the world are aghast at what he's been doing.
If you're of the "Calling your reps" persuasion, mention this when you call! While I can get the covid vaccine because I made the list, I will be even safer the more people who are vax'd against all sorts of things!
The thing about living in a human society is you either decide that everyone (except those for whom it would be medically dangerous) has to take VACCINES into their bodies or everyone (with no exceptions at all) has to take VIRULENT PATHOGENS in from those around them and, look, the first is better.
I think it's important to note that Venezuela is saying this didn't happen. They've recovered no debris, and they contend the video appears to be a deep fake. Yet crucially, the US media is mostly avoiding reporting this, or examining the video. www.cbsnews.com/video/venezu...
It pleases me to no end that my #1 track at Spotify (as Sam Rosenthal) is this collaboration with my kitty: open.spotify.com/track/2CnNFl... Nova Cat Purring Sounds !
I will never apologize for a post
There are some incredibly vital issues at this moment in time that go beyond like, oh we disagree on marginal tax rates but we can still be friendly. Trans rights are one of those issues. Trans rights are human rights and those are not negotiable. (see also: genocide; fascism. not unrelated!)
Timeline cleanse
I used the word "murder" when yelling at my reps about this earlier today. There is no justification for it
once again I am asking people to correctly answer the question "who was President in 2020"
This is objectively hilarious, but more importantly, it means the jokes and rumors were even more plausible than we knew
If you are 45 and under, go and get that vaccine now while it's still free, folks.
and SPEAKING of my sister who lives in rural Kenya and currently has dysentery… modern industrialised pasteurising is safer and more effective and we are LUCKY TO HAVE IT
Hey all currently looking for mostly tech aligned work but also willing to do axuillary in support of positions the field is currently a bit of a bloodbath. I'm based out of Eugene, Oregon with experience in Windows Admin, 0365, Python focused on Power shell, Crowdstrike Falcon, Tenable Splunk ES
As House Republicans & DOJ continues to block release of the files, Epstein victims speak out: “The files contain the names of powerful men who have been shielded because of their fame or fortune. Congress - will you continue to protect predators or survivors? Release the files!”
Epstein Watch: “They're creating this perception of transparency — but the reality is it's not there,” said a victim’s brother. Two federal judges agreed.
I am so happy!!! The best belated birthday present!
Thank god you're home!! Big friend was so worried! (I hope you are okay)
For the past three years, the city has been giving cash to some struggling renters, no strings attached. The first-in-the-nation experiment has been even more successful than researchers studying its impact expected.

Get ready #chicago Save and share this image. It will be helpful when the #iceraids begin
Pritzker is doing two things here that are smart. One, he's describing this forcefully and unapologetically and in his own terms, not adopting the Admin/media frame. Two, he's making clear that he will blame the Admin for any violence or disorder sparked by their invasion of his state.
This is far from the worst anyone has been harmed by this But a while ago, Pokemon Go made it so you needed to catch 200 Pokemon in one day to advance past level 40 And I was gonna walk around the National Mall and do that as a reward for finishing summer teaching But now it's full of soldiers.
bluesky hasn’t become massive but it’s not because we’re an echo chamber, it’s because we’re annoying in a ton of other ways and i think that’s beautiful
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
"Imagine knowing electricity or the internet were coming ... before both fully and wholly upended business, culture and life. That's the AI moment we see unfolding today" - possibly one of the stupidest things i've seen written about AI, great work Axios!
She's trying to the big lady on campus, eh? Can she not?
Ma'am... Please.
today you have the power to build entire universes. every choice creates a timeline that resonates in some new way, and it is up to us wether or not we want to resonate with each other more or less. GREAT opportunity to wield your power for love. cant wait to see what we can accomplish LETS TROT
Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement today at 2?
Couldn't happen to a better guy. He can get fucked all the way off

Hello Rosco!!!
One way to help farmworkers is to make a donation to @ufw.bsky.social ufw.org/sparechange/
Not just never seen before, but the stuff that doesn't happen often. Traveled to the southwest and picked up black plague or valley fever and the small town ER back home on the east coast was confused? They could call the CDC and get help. And you'd get treatment, and you'd live.
A solid Scalzi and Cat win. Congrats!
happy labor day
I have issue with the decor of the living spaces downstairs but the converted bit is amazing!
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
happy labor day everyone. now more than ever we got to remember what it's about.
I would love a tri-C rail. It would be fabulous but this legislature simply won't
My folks love the trains. I tried to get them from Western NY to Southern Ohio via train. It was a 3 day trip for far too much. It would've been great but no
One way you can support children like the ones in this case is a donation to the Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights www.theyoungcenter.org/donate/
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
