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.
I’m hearing a lot of questions in the tech space lately about how to make customers trust AI and agents
Tbh I think coming in with:
“adopt AI or die”
“we stole this data so what”
“who cares about the data center energy consumption”
framings kinda nuked a lot of trust opportunities.
I am very sorry to this man’s family but we must have term limits. We can’t go on hoping we don’t lose our rights because octogenarians die or become senile. That has been the story of the last ten years.
Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan."
And even *after* CA and VA, the balance is still heavily skewed toward Republicans.
The GOP has still drawn 41% of districts vs. 29% for Dems.
Sources say that if Kash Patel cannot stop binge drinking and spending taxpayer dollars on his personal travel, Donald Trump is prepared to fire the highest ranking woman at the FBI.

Priceless post from the official White House social media
…when every dem pol 1000% should be talking about holding "AI" companies' feet to the fire to make them pay recompense to the rest of us for stealing our shit and perpetuating harmful and even deadly biases all in a package tailor-made to trick people into believing in their bullshit promises & hype
Hey! I have now walked upon this earth for FIVE WHOLE DECADES, and I had some thoughts about all that if you care to read 'em.
Well done, Virginians.
Popping in to check for VA election results, I always search for reliable source @taniel.bsky.social
YAY VIRGINIA!!!!!
And I just cleared it.
I may never clear this Tetris level. And I’m ok with that.
Okay Virginia voters. Choose democracy and vote blue like your lives (and ours) depend on it.
Extremely buried actual point:
"If we don’t preserve nest sites and someone paves over them, we could lose—in an instant—5.5 million bees that are important pollinators."
Time to get ready for #MillionsMissing which will be May 9th-16th with focus on the 12th!

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".
Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.
When I am Governor — if you start chasing people, including U.S. citizens, we get to come after you.
Cross that line in California and we will investigate you. We will arrest you. And we will prosecute you.
Okay Virginia voters. Choose democracy and vote blue like your lives (and ours) depend on it.
Also, I highly recommend you follow Tom Cox if you are an east coast USian with Long Covid induced insomnia that leaves you sleepless and feeling shitty and exhausted at 4 am ET, when he frequently posts from the UK. Tom is a fine Bluesky companion.
This has been my approach to writing throughout my entire 30+ year 65-book career. Proof can be found in the one-star reviews (clearly all written by uncool people) of my latest novel, JulesCassidy,PI, on Goodreads and Zon.
I am afraid to go to the hospital because I don't want to get SICKER.
It shouldn't have to be this way! Properly fitted n95 respirators are virtually perfect at blocking the transmission of Covid (and many other diseases).

ID: An image shows a selfie of Mustafa Talat, a Pakistani doctor, in personal protective equipment including a high quality mask and hooded coverall suit. He also wears stylish wire framed glasses. The image is repeated three times - two of them have a light blue filter. The text reads, “The Sick Times. I developed Long COVID while practicing medicine. The system had no place for me. By Mustafa Talat.”
We’re here, we’re still practicing, and we deserve better than silence and self-management. Medicine asked for our bodies. It’s time medicine made space for what became of them.
Mustafa Talat developed #LongCOVID after working the first COVID-19 wave in a hospital in 2020. Without clear diagnostic criteria, he received no diagnosis despite limiting symptoms. The system that trained him to diagnose couldn’t acknowledge what had happened. bit.ly/4vFu9Yz
A digital illustration done in simple contour lines and rough pencil coloring on neutral tinted paper background of a woman reclining on a surface in a faint. Seen from a foreshortened angle from her knees and feet. She’s laying on one hip with her torso twisting to supine. The back of one hand lays across her forehead and the other is held limply on her ribs. Her head is back and her red curls spread out on the ground around her. She’s wearing a white, voluminous and old fashioned night dress. Orange lettering in an Art Nouveau style to the right reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.
VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?
ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]
John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?
