Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

this is one of the most offensive things I've seen in years

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

Black cat energy. You're the cat who watches from the highest shelf and already knows what's coming. You prefer a quiet corner to recharge but you're always paying attention. You solve problems like you're stalking a target, patient and precise. You're selective with affection. When you choose someone it's on purpose. You don't waste meows. Your presence is the message.

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.

‼️Hardin, Montana: Killing cats with CO2 gas is CRUEL and ILLEGAL‼️

Right now, the City of Hardin is discussing plans to create a gas chamber to kill community cats through CO2 suffocation. This unspeakable act of animal cruelty is against Montana law, and we won't stand by.

I found a picture of Clancy that I think is perfect to put Connor in; I'm still trying to be more expressive with them, so it's just practice 🙃 #hankcon

Exactly one year ago today:

this is really cool.

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

Fun thing! The UK government wants to implement AI in healthcare!

By putting it "in the hands of every person at the patient's bedside".

So in the way that'll kill people 👍

Love the UK government permanently being the back end of the donkey, too.

Welfare helps people participate in society. It also moves money around the economy, keeping it healthy. They call it a “cost”.

AI cuts jobs, makes useless un-copyrightable content, raises the energy bills of anyone living near them, and makes no money. They call it an “investment”.

🙃

With regards to how well Bluesky is working today:

We can tell. 🙃

再让我看看你...

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

This is so good.

Tumblr user thereisselfpreservation "I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck." Reply from the same user: "For reference (heh)" Screenshots of messages. Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now." There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled. Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment." Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?" thereisselfpreservation: "At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!

You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.

Being into cats feels so debasing. You give everything over to this animal — time, labor, money — but when you want them to sit next to you, they refuse and jump away. When they finally sit on your lap, you sit motionless to the point of physical pain, afraid to disturb them. Humiliating.

The other thing that stands out here is just how few young people get gender affirming care. In a dataset spanning over 20 years, only 2000 patients under 23 were even referred to gender clinics. Of those, just 800 transitioned.

a while ago, Bolsonaro was fearing for his imprisonment he sneaked into the Hungary Embassy near his home and spent a couple of days there hiding.

so this has sweet taste to us in Brazil.

Trump Approval Among White Non-College Voters:

🔴 Disapprove: 52% (+20)
🟢 Approve: 48% (-20)

YouGov / April 2026

(% Change With February 2025)

Around 20% of hospital beds in the US are in Christianist facilities, most Catholic, that have happily been denying reproductive health care and gender-affirming care for decades AND enjoying a nonprofit status. Most people don't realize the stranglehold the church has until it's too late.

This whole thread is really worth reading, RE: the election in Hungary.

Obama hosting a "beer summit" with Professor Henry Louis Gates and Sgt. James Crowley. The three men are toasting beers.

Trump pointing a finger at Tucker Carlson

I think a fundamental problem with MAGA, purely as a political movement, is that it's built around one man's narcissism. As MAGA fractures, it's hard to see how Trump can rebuild his coalition because he requires ppl to bend the knee. Can't imagine him doing a "beer summit" with Tucker et al.

‘Everything is gone’: Israel destroys entire villages in Lebanon Rights groups fear tactic of ‘domicide’ trialled in Gaza, where entire areas are made uninhabitable, is being used again

My issue with this article is that it claims satellite imagery isn't available. Yes, high-resolution satellite imagery isn't. Low-resolution and SAR imagery are and are evidently backing up those "claims".
