the fascists have been lying, cheating and changing the rules to their benefit for years. turnabout isn't just fair play, it's the only way to maintain some semblance of a civil society.

Happy National Library Week! 💙📚

It's just fascinating to me how the Bluesky team keeps taking active steps to look bad. They don't just randomly step on rakes. They go into the shed, lift the rake off where it's hanging on the wall, carefully place it on the grass, and then step full force on that motherfucker.

I'm in there too! It's such a privilege, I won't let this opportunity go to waste.

Just a reminder that genAI is, from the ground up, a fascist apparatus and anyone who defends it is a nazi, comically stupid, or both. bsky.app/profile/dres...

Ahahahahaha what do you mean the TECHNICAL ADVISOR to Bluesky just blocked over 300k users by following an ANTI-AI, AI HATERS blocklist.

Embarassing.

Trump administration delays rule aimed at improving disability access in schools Schools, colleges and other public institutions originally had until this week to make online content accessible to people with disabilities. Now, the Justice Department has delayed that deadline.

Quote of tweet by WUFT News reporter Corbin Boiles saying "SCOOP: I got internal photos/videos of McClatchy's Claude-powered" content scaling ageny" tool roiling it's newsrooms" with the quoter, Max Spero, summarising "a major US newspaper publisher is rolling out an AI-generated content farm that is using the bylines of real reporters without their consent."

I remain convinced that the real threat of AI isn't the machines themselves taking over - it's the specific super-assholes putting them to work in the worst possible ways.

Reminder that the WaPo and most legacy newspapers are owned by right wing billionaires and serve Republican agendas.

Alternatives in the thread!

I think that voters voting a gerrymander into place is the softest possible consequence for fascists, zealots, and other hostile powers usurping the government of the United States and doing new, century-long damage to its domestic society and international reputation.

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

DOGE broke something at the VA. Massachusetts veterans are paying the price. - The Boston Globe Many veterans say an exodus of medical staff has resulted in longer waits for treatment and has forced them to go outside the VA for care.

President Trump’s cuts mean fewer frontline staff, longer waits, and delays in care for our veterans.

That’s not how we treat the people who served our country.

In Massachusetts, we’re investing in services, support, and care—because doing right by veterans isn’t optional. It’s our responsibility.

"THE MOVIE THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE" is preeeeeetty good marketing, ngl.

The police are always on the side of capitalist interests. They played the same role crushing environmentalist and workers rights movements as they do today. People were showing up then and people are still showing up now, but it's a big, long, ugly fight that didn't start yesterday.

China invented noodles and gunpowder. Just reclaiming the crown.

if i lived in popeye town and one day i saw a ropy little sailor punch a huge guy so hard his skeleton flew out of his mouth thats the only thing i would talk about for the rest of my life

The reason Trump pressured Republican led states to redraw their election maps without voter approval is because he knows his policies are unpopular. He knows Republicans will lose without map rigging. Virginia can vote YES for fair maps to stop him tomorrow. #VoteYesVirginia

Marty’s Goodreads page for audition for the Fox which has 3000 ratings

Hit 3,000 ratings! How wild is that??

Gender should literally just be a common thing that people *should* examine in order to have a fullness of life, even if nothing massively changes. It should be as common as developing a fashion style or a music taste. Deconstruction of societal imprint, no matter how “far” you go, is freedom.

"Say Perhaps To Drugs" in sharpie on a yellow brick wall.

"You there, my good stoner! What day is it today?"

"Why, it's 4/20, Mr. Scrooge!"

"Then, there is still time to blaze it! Do you know the massive joint in the window shop of Dr. Weedfellows? I want you to buy it and send it to Bob Cratchit, so he may toke with his whole family for the holiday!!"

for an idea of how big a deal this is, my mom was in great shape when she got diagnosed and she lasted less than sixty days. six years is insane.

I'm sharing this again because my landlord just notified me that he's going to be looking into selling off the place I'm in and I really need to kill this bill off. And preferably my car note while I'm at it

I don't know what to fucking do, man

how do i vote for this guy for any office he wants

I can fly

There's growing disquiet in the military. The Iran war made it worse Since Trump began his second term, his administration's use of the armed forces has left a growing number in the military unsettled, according to NPR interviews with service members and advocates.

This is now easily Trump gets his people onside when they stray; just invite them to the White House, get a picture in the Oval, look important. Joe Rogan has fucktons of money and listeners but proximity to power is the highest high.

Rambo? Bootlicker. Mad Max? Bootlicker. King of the Manosphere? Bootlicker. Dana White and his army of underpaid CTE sufferers? Bootlickers. Triple H and the WWE Superstars? Bootlickers. Folding over for a doddering pervert who can't stand up like a human being

A screenshot of the page from Crooks & Liars on Boozy’s phone. Directly under the headline reading “RFK Jr Stopped Car To Cut Off Penis Of Raccoon Roadkill” is a targeted ad likely resulting from Boozy’s recent searches for smoked meat rub recipes. The ad reads: “Deli & Lunch Meats Bring your family to the table with our delicious smoked meats and cheeses.”

Wow. I really hate targeted ads more now.

Thank you so much to all 15 billion people who came out tonight to my book launch party, I was overwhelmed with happiness and also exhaustion! Maybe we'll do SenCon again next year!
