we still need help with groceries, and in addition anything you could spare for dog food for my little Marv ♡ thank you. 🐶

This time of year is my birthday and also a bunch of trauma/grief anniversaries so I feel like I am basically 1/10th of a person

Gillibrand absolutely MUST GO. Who will primary her in this state?

it me

There are many reasons I believe in the separation of Church and State and "you can't disagree with the head of state, that's against theology" is probably the most prominent "absolutely not" scenario.

Link to the ruling. I am not sure I’ve seen a judicial opinion with this many tweet screenshots in it before storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

One of the Most Dangerous Jobs in America Is About To Get EVEN WORSE YouTube video by More Perfect Union

The meatpacking industry is already dangerous for workers.

Now USDA wants to increase maximum speed for processing poultry from 140 chickens per minute to 175 and to remove the upper speed limit on the pork production line.

This will disable and kill people, including children they often employ.

An NYT headline reading: Homeland Security Expands Deportation Fleet With High-End Jets

Hey @nytimes.com, I already reported this earlier this week.

And the G650s you mention? I reported on those in FEBRUARY.

You credit NBC News and WSJ for first reporting parts of your story. Please credit me, too.

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

i’m such a stupid fucking mark for trying to “work” and “follow the law”

Medical students in Gaza restore one of the oldest libraries after it was bombed by the Israeli occupation.

I cannot even begin to tell you.

Having watched the Peter Jackson Hobbit trilogy and now watching the 1977 hobbit animated feature, it's unquestionable that the 70s low budget animated feature was the better adaptation.

how dare a bunch of trannies and their inconvenient “medical needs” get in the way of our fantasies about the Woke Pope

Loved this. It made me curious though about how a similar framework would be applied to non-sexual gendered issues. Frx I looked like a woman to 30 and in my industry was sidelined in the same way women are, & have not recovered professionally from this. Not sure how to access help at this point.

As a trans person who comes from a high income bracket family, that bludgeon has always existed and it’s about damn time for that framework to be exploded. Anyway, great essay.

Isaac's deconstruction of the 'privilege' framework here is desperately vital because it's no longer used as a tool to name and identify vectors of oppression, but rather a competitive bludgeon through which we assert why others don't have it as bad as we do.

It has become anti-solidarity.

That‘s a big lady

You can’t come for my incredibly niche and stupid faux-cultual sport, transphobes

Scottish Highland Dance might be dorky and fake and racist in a lot of ways but one thing I really like about it is all genders compete against each other equally (and also all the women are in drag for like 2/3 of the dances anyway)

This is what happens at concentration camps

A very tiny bright orange baby salamander. It is extraordinarily cute, lying happily on moss.

We saw our first little red eft of the year today. If you see one please do not pick it up! Their skin is highly porous and the salt, oils, lotion, sunblock, bug spray, etc. from your hands can make them sick. Use a leaf to move them if they must be relocated for their safety. ❤️

Think of how many games where the verb is violence. How many games (including the ones nominated for tonight’s BAFTA awards) where you shoot, fight, kill.
But when games want to explore the topic of violence in a meaningful way, that’s the issue?

We need much more OFFLINE intra-community political education about domestic violence. Much more. People are still at 101 when they should absolutely be at the 401 level by now.
