That Rand Paul can stand up there and proudly announce he’s trying to gut the National Science Foundation and the Department of Education is insane.
This is the kind of stuff Republicans and their wealthy benefactors used to have to discuss in private.
We need to unfuck America.
i probably shouldn’t sit in this weird position but i’ll move in a second

oh no
My "conspiracy theory" is that the bluesky admin team absolutely resent that this site is full of leftists and queer people and want to drive them off for their own satisfaction, not even related to a concrete plan for future monetization and success.
Oh for fuck's sake.
Dude is blocking via list and it's not just petty, it'll break functionality?
Dear bluesky staff: SEPARATE YOUR PERSONAL AND PRO ACCOUNTS.
This action should be raising alarm bells across the country.
It’s not an annoyance.
It’s a willful and malicious action to deprive the people of the United States of critical health information in order to prop up a government disinformation campaign against vaccines.
Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.
This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.
But he’s the one who is actually doing it.
It doesn’t matter how unpopular he becomes; Trump is an opportunity to achieve the long-held goals that many people leading our institutions refuse to waste.
i think it’s bad that the president is an openly racist piece of shit and i think aides who post racist screeds on his behalf are even worse (trump would not use “warped and pervasive policies”)
They want to claim the SPLC is “inventing” racism while high-level administration figures are regularly calling for ethnic cleansing.
SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2

A lot of tech men really into AI just want a secretary
it will never not be funny how they thought bsky was going to be a google campus and instead they got tumblr and they absolutely h a t e it
It's like Cobra Kai trying to organize a class action lawsuit because Daniel used the Crane Kick.
NEW: I've been shocked by some of the numbers I've been seeing on behind-the-meter power plants for data centers, so I did a little math.
less than a dozen gas plants being built to power data centers for big tech companies could emit a maximum of nearly 130 million tons of CO2e each year (!)
stop calling me a nepo hire just because im married to the CEO. i slop code at an elite level
they should make cigarettes that kill u worse but don't make u smell like cigarettes
I wrote about a Georgia case of pregnancy criminalization—in which a woman has been charged with murder and possession of a dangerous drug after an alleged self-managed medication abortion—and how the actually dangerous role of fetal personhood laws enable these cases:
"But even if AT&T and Verizon lose this case, they could get a victory of sorts because the FCC and justices seem to agree that FCC fine decisions are nonbinding and require a court decision to enforce them. A government lawyer told justices that the FCC may change the language of its forfeiture orders to make it clearer that fines don’t have to be paid until after a jury trial. “It seems like you’ve won on the law going forward, one way or the other,” Justice Brett Kavanaugh told attorney Jeffrey Wall, who represents AT&T and Verizon. “Your reply brief begins, ‘the government’s in retreat.’ That’s absolutely correct.”
the "fun" part is that even though the Trump Supreme Court may not have really agreed with the wireless carriers about their arguments, they're going to tailor their ruling so that wireless giants still ultimately see no accountability for anything.
isn't that nice
wireless carriers are likely to be let off the hook for years of spying on your daily sensitive movement data, then selling it to any nitwit with two nickels to rub together
Trump knows that everyone understands what "Low IQ person" means when he says it but the press isn't willing to write it. He knows they will always cover for him and he loves that he can get away with it. He's used so many old timey racist terms he hopes no one knows but he also does this
Be born just in time to watch the world go to shit and you can't even have a fucking smoke
"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–"
yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up
EXCLUSIVE: The SPLC indictment, the Klan history behind it, and the ignominy of Todd Blanche.
Another dark day for DOJ.
Tonight, at Law Dork:
Video wasn’t working earlier but watch as the Surprise mayor flees like the coward he is.
This Saturday there will be a protest outside the Surprise warehouse. Multiple people were talking about organizing a recall campaign against Mayor Sartor. “He’s so getting fucking recalled,” a woman near me said as he rushed out of the meeting.
A yellow DIY sign in one of the white chairs in the overflow chamber that reads in black marker: “CHRIS JUDD COWARD”
Hello from the Surprise City Council meeting where most of the crowd is here to speak out against the proposed ICE concentration camp and the council’s refusal to put the detention center on the agenda as an action item like they said they would.
Days after filing articles of impeachment against Hegseth, the following happened:

the foundational concept of Bluesky was to create a space for tech bros by using invite only for a span
the foundational reality of Bluesky is that invites became life rafts for queers fleeing Twitter by way of furries
nobody working for Bluesky has ever forgiven this
