AOC is a force of nature.

I'm proud of both of you!

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

The Sandy Hook families deserve so much more but this is a well deserved victory

It would be fucking awesome if @katmabu.bsky.social becomes the new host of InfoWars!

Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92

It’s hard to express how important Iris was to ACT UP’s scientific development. She was the catalyst who started it all. Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...

Any good group chats for authors and writers that I can join? I'm on Signal, Telegram, Discord (I think I'm on a couple of writing-related Discord servers), WhatsApp, and Google Chat.

A lot of Orbán's American fans are saying that this election proved he was never an authoritarian in the first place.

This is completely wrong — and, in fact, betrays a complete misunderstanding of both Hungarian politics and modern authoritarianism.

Here's why.

Naturalized U.S. citizens should have the same right to vote in elections as natural-born U.S. citizens.

1) Trump is openly admitting to wanting to strip the right to vote from naturalized U.S. citizens.
2) Medically necessary gender reassignment surgery to treat gender dysphoria is not the same thing as genital mutilization.

“In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, … he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis.”

Without progressive support no Dem wins an election, even in purple and lean R areas. They're not a tiny minority.

'We are missing data': NWS weather balloon changes scrutinized as tornados hit Midwest For much of Monday, the agency didn't anticipate a tornado threat for Kansas City — then five hit that evening. Did a change in weather balloon launches leave forecasters in the dark?

And she did while being absolutely barraged with ads nonstop calling her a socialist, which by now we must admit is actually becoming a selling point thank the gods.

There are voters in #NJ11 who refused to vote for numerous establishment and/or moderate Democratic candidates, but voted for unapologetic anti-establishment progressive @analiliafornj.bsky.social.

The fact that a rape academy is allowed to be hosted online is, to put it very mildly, a travesty to humanity.

There are a lot of Catholic teachings I fundamentally disagree with, especially in regards to the Catholic Church's longstanding opposition to abortion rights.

However, it is extremely inappropriate for the President and the federal government to meddle in the Catholic Church's internal affairs.

I'm proud of @yassaminansari.bsky.social for introducing articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth!

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.

Never doubt your power to change the system.

big ruling from the Montana supreme court.

Home Delivery Service in Icelandic is Heimsendingarþjónusta.

Heim is home, sendingar is deliveries, þjónusta is service.

But if you break the word down incorrectly, then you'll get Heims endingar þjónusta or "World Ending Service"

a large plane flying just above a town

"A pilot in Iceland in their last flight before retirement flew about 100m above his home town, unauthorized"

Yeah, that stunt is always your last flight, retirement or not.

All four of these have Indo-European origins, if I recall correctly. Keisari is from the same origin as Ceasar, Kaiser, Tsar, etc..

I have just learned that although Finnish and Icelandic have almost nothing in common as languages, these four words mean and sound exactly the same in both:

-Meistari (master)
-Keisari (emperor)
-Runkari (masturbator)
-Súkkulaðirúsína (chocolate raisin)

My Internet is currently intermittent due to an apparent cell tower issue near where I live.
