*cracks knuckles* okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public? now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.
at no point did we defund the police. it's important when we talk about defunding the police to note it never actually happened. would it work? we don't know! but merely phrasing the idea succinctly incited a reactionary backlash that put fascists in charge of all 3 branches of government. curious!
Man, I was so hype for Alex Garland. 28DL, Dredd, Ex Machina were all straight bangers. Then Devs just pissed me off so much being about nothing but vibes and it's been all downhill since then. See also: Richard Kelly.
One benefit of not being able to edit a bluesky post is that there's not much you can do about typos after it's posted, so there's nothing to be gained pointing it out beside coming across like a smug dork.
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

I've got a bottle of JW Blue I was saving for Harris.
In my opinion, we're witnessing the birth of the next leaded gasoline: a massive spread of cognitive impairment that will significantly damage a generation. www.brainonllm.com
oh
Libraries help so many people and are one of the few unequivocal good things in our society. So of course they're treated by most politicians as, at best, an afterthought. vancouversun.com/opinion/colu...
It fills me with rage that we could've spent the last 5yrs overhauling indoor ventilation and just...didn't. Like, it's good for capitalism! Even if that's allll you care about, healthy people are more productive workers! And people don't have to take as much time off work if their kids are healthy!

THIS is what meeting the moment looks like.
9. Right now, one party has not joined the anti-trans policy escalation. If that fragile dichotomy collapses—if Dems too decide that trans people can be sacrificed—the result will not be a lesser evil. It will be a political consensus that our rights are gone, and that outcome could be even worse.
CRYPTKEEPER: Wait just a TICKET. If I let you leave without a scary story, now would that be FARE? Here's one that gets RAIL frightening, about a dark and stormy night, the kind where you just might get caught in the TRAIN. That's right - the bone chilling tale of AN ADULT MAN WHO RODE THE SUBWAY.
reposted this today because the inverse is also true: if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period. if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.
Today’s @openargs.bsky.social redistricting in TX, why NY probably won’t join that fight, Trump’s on his bs again about absentee ballots, changes to immigration standards, & a trademarks case Check it out on Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o... Or Overcast (not a sponsor, just my fav player):
If you've got capacity for investigative podcasts, Where There's Woke researches claims of "woke mob attacks again." Every. single. time. the story is "guy was an asshole, people said 'dont be an asshole', guy said 'no' and faced zero professional consequences while also crying victim."
@mattcameron.bsky.social it can't be said enough how rad the new outro music for @openargs.bsky.social is. I feel transported to an ethereal 80s sunset. Well done!
I'm just trolling (acting like i always have but being slightly more annoying)
So 👏 do 👏 that 👏
A podcast I listen to called Gavel Gavel has been reading through the Lively/Baldoni court records, and it's baffling some of the shit Baldoni was pulling. Including a crisis PR firm to sew seeds of discontent on reddit and elsewhere against Lively, fake internal messages planted for discovery
look what happens when you actually speak to the people living in these neighborhoods instead of ventriloquizing them to make an ideological point: you get a good story www.nytimes.com/2025/08/16/u...
I was kind of hoping when we started this series that takes bad enough to justify a response from a general-interest legal podcast with an international audience would actually be some work to find every week, but no
I am so heartened that like. Ms. Rachel was a completely normal person until six years ago, has had this insane rocket ship of success that would destabilize anyone and just when she really hit it big, with toy deals and books, she chose to stand up for Palestinians,
We are on the cusp of AGI, definitely for real
*Armed soldiers occupying American cities* "I just think sometimes the left goes too far"
The White House is mobilizing red state military forces to occupy a Democratic stronghold and let me tell you: No one has ever pretended something isn't happening harder than Democratic leaders are pretending this isn't happening right now.

"he's just doing fascism to distract from the Epstein files" "ok... Let's be concerned about both?" "Nah, that's just a distraction"
This post has honestly cleared up so many questions I never asked.
A prescient warning from retired military officials as SCOTUS weighed presidential immunity in Trump v. United States: “Absent the availability of criminal prosecution for a President's violation of the PCA, this important check on military power would be weakened if not eliminated.”
Can't wait for the Nuremberg trials of ICE
it's crazy how we just take for granted now that the president is a deranged racist
Where are all my swifties at? I was hoping to be in bed, but I guess I'll be up for another half hour... #taylorswift
"This is a normal presidential vote" is the story before the vote. "This is an enabling act 😍😍😍" is the story after the vote.
I genuinely think we should be asking the politicians who have suddenly found god on the question of genocide whether they will advocate for the kids who lost their goddamn diplomas and jobs for saying what they now agree with

But tell me again how both parties are the same.
Republicans: “Not every wage is designed to be a livable wage.” In other words, not everyone deserves to live. Vote for democrats.
OLIVER: "Gaza is starving is a sentence that's objectively true, but it's also slightly misleading because it's too passive — Gaza is being starved by Israel."
If you're paying them, you can ask for a voicemail track.
someone at a white house press briefing should ask why the president consistently refers to his black american critics as “low IQ”
Isn't that literally Cameo?
Bluesky: "how could you even consider posting a list of social media like that and not once mention Gaza. You're complicit with genocide."

Can I get this energy with every ICE employee?
This is an extremely insensitive thing to post. Some of us are dealing with extremely painful follower counts, and the fallout from our long term followers lies, infidelity and betrayal. I truly hope that smug happy accounts such as yourself never have to go through this type of shit. /s

CUE [cuelang] when?
Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison
Mamdani: We are reminded no matter how strong our gun laws are in this state, we are only as safe as the weakest laws in this nation.
Low taxes bring shitty services
We’re not ready for what’s coming. ICE is being turned into an army, and everyone will suffer for it. Watch the full video on YouTube: youtu.be/hk1e1KKLO5U

I know this thread is about something completely different, but for the record, Kamala got more total votes than Biden 2020 in almost all the swing states. Considering a nationwide much higher D turnout for Biden, she put up a hell of a fight where it mattered most.
Been seeing a lot of noise about the OBBB, so I dug into the data myself. This is too important to ignore so I made some data visualizations. Take a look and let me know what you think—whether you agree, disagree, or have sources I should check out. PDF at: ampersandsara.com/one-big-beau...
Every. Single. Story. about women not using AI as much as men portray it as bad for their future career prospects (without a shred of evidence) and a result of women being fearful little ladies rather than looking at AI's output and saying "this sucks, it's not going to help me."
The man predicted the future and he told you exactly how it was going to happen, too
Harm-reduction is evidence-based. Housing-first is evidence-based. Involuntary commitment is supposed to be a temporary last resort to save lives, not a back door to imprison people indefinitely without trial or representation. The new ugly laws: So rich people don’t have to see what they’ve done
You can try to convince NBA team owners that this is what they should do with the revenue they bring in. Until that is successful, players deserve fair compensation based on a percentage of total event revenue.
This is one of my favorite pieces at @crossplayblog.bsky.social yet. To control how they played video games, this kid's Christian fundamentalist parents created a tool even the devil would be envious of. It's time for you to learn about The Binder. www.crossplay.news/p/how-my-rel...

"Emdashes need not apply"
I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.
When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Nathan fielder proves once again he is ahead of his time.
This was the order of events: 1. Paramount acceded to Trump’s extortion by paying a bribe. 2. Stephen Colbert calls his employer out for doing that. 3. Paramount fires Stephen Colbert for being honest about Trump. 4. Proving Trump’s bribe worked.

We're not "kicking off" a race to the bottom with gerrymandering-- it's already here. Republicans have gerrymandered NC, OH, FL, KY, WV, UT and now TX. Unilateral disarmament is not a sign of strength, it's literally how we lose. You're a CA assemblymember; if anyone should see the stakes, it's you.
*Don't take legal advice from a skeet
!!! As i have been saying for years now, the most practically effective, strategically feasible, and 100% non-violent way to abolish ICE is to make working there--in any capacity, at any level--one of the most socially unpopular things an American can do.
Can the author tell me what the unemployment rate for white people is compared to different minority groups? Just asking questions.
A perfect example of "doublespeak", a frustratingly effective fascist tactic.
I've got a buddy who does this and I feel like I need to set up an intervention.
Once again, my "concentrate juice memes" list pays off.
Psycho sherbet. Qu’est-ce que c’est?
Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence
"...and as I kept watching I realized: this *is* a trailer, and it is for the horror movie that we are all about to live in."
Deep cut and I love it
As someone who is in contact with dozens of different non-citizens every day, I can anecdotally confirm that all of the documented people I know are living with some degree of anxiety and all of the undocumented (& their families) are living in some degree of terror. Please support where you can
This is the wonderful American fuck you attitude I love to see.
