Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
People with preexisting conditions also don’t deserve to die
The sudden sensation that you’ve heard this story about a little guy that lives in a blue world before: the French call it déjà blue (da ba dee)
To avoid confusion, I’m gonna need everybody called Al to start going by their full name, Alf.
Remember, these are the guys trying to control university curriculum to eliminate wokeness...like math

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits
The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

"Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated which day the New York Mets suffered their 11th straight loss. It was on Sunday, not Monday. Even the Mets cannot lose on an off day."
Two copy editors high-fiving so hard right now
Screenshot of Chain of Ideas by Ibram X Kendi audiobook in the Libby app. I’m 67% through it.
Now reading/listening to Chain of Ideas by @ibramxk.bsky.social (I also have a print copy). Very smart throughout. Just hit a section about COVID lockdowns and mask resistance, finding I still have a visceral reaction to memories of 2020 and the absolute selfishness of so many. #nowreading

I'm not sure if they'll have all their stickers available online (I know from my own experience this takes Some Doing), but I'm guessing these are available from Faire vendors and your own local could get them for you.
A photo of Manchester United great George Best, from a period where his beard and longer hair do make him look like Wolverine.
I’m George Best.
Jack completely underestimated the overlap between "people who make the internet run" and "tranny furries".
“I’m simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone you’ve ever met.”
Gerrymandering rural Virginia out of its outsized political influence It’s actually great.
For too long in this country cities have had all the population, and paid all of the taxes, and had almost none of the political representation. It’s time to stop letting land vote and give power to people.
Professors of Bsky, quick PSA: Is your department website directing readers to purchase your book from Amazon and not from the non-profit academic press that published it? Check now and then tell them to knock it the hell off.
Absolutely love the Instagram algorithm that just showed me a tornado warning from last week
I’m very glad Virginia approved redistricting to fight back against GOP skullduggery, but as an election worker (not in VA) who understands what this will mean for getting the primaries and general set up… lol.
For reference, my election job is seasonal, and for this year my first day is May 4.
Meet Virginia
the latest state to fight back against Republican skullduggery
Three vinyl stickers and one pin. The first sticker is styled on the “Now that’s what I call Music” CDs of the ‘90s and says “Now That’s What I Call a Trauma Response.” Next to it is a shield-shaped pin that says “No Secret Police,” with the letters “No” and “ICE” in blue while the other letters are white. Next, below the first sticker, is one that says “Chinga la Migra” in rainbow colors. Finally, a black and white circular sticker has the text “What’s more punk than the public library” around a book with a rose on the cover.
Visited a few Grand Rapids-area bookstores today, made a couple additions to my collections of stickers and pins. Thanks @bettiespages.bsky.social and Books & Mortar! #indiebookstores #stickers #library
Reminder that analysts thought there was a deal to be struck with North Korea in 2017-2018, not to denuclearize (they won't), but to count/verify nukes, stabilize situation. Trump didn't order any diplomatic work for that and instead did a photo op with Kim.
His diplomacy and his deals are fake.
RFK Jr. just said HHS is "cleaning up the risk pool" (i.e., people who are unhealthy) to bring down healthcare costs.
Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.
HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

I can't believe 911 was 1,115 years ago
“I used AI to combine the data from two excel lists and then send emails to people who were on one list but not another. Saved me so much time.”
My brother in academia, you just fucking discovered mail merge. Welcome to early nineties computing.
sure it's a tool of social control and surveillance owned and operated by fascists, but it writes work emails for me. on balance who's to say it's good or bad
A man smiles as he lays down on a patterned grey pillow shaped like a butt. Text on the image reads “sleeping on a butt.” (There is also a song in the ad)
Also lately a whole lot of ads for this, idk
