WA State Rep candidate Katy Cornell says you must obey her and disown your heretical and non-fundamentalist Christian friends or you'll be led into witchcraft, New Age beliefs, drugs, and "utter darkness." She says what I believe is dangerous and it will contaminate her congregants.

ChatGPT is struggling so badly from the boycott that it’s already running new ads in the App Store.

I have people tell me they wish they could do what I do, and that they feel guilt for not being capable of confronting fascists in the streets, but I can’t emphasis enough how unnecessary it is that you are able to do what I, or what any other activist does

Just do what you can, wherever you can

this was a real thing and the department of licensing blamed new technology so i’m pretty sure that means they got sold an ai service

Uncle Jeffy Tiedrich says today in his newsletter:

"Here’s one sure way you can tell you’re living in a shithole country: when the following two headlines appear one after another."

it remains utterly delightful that @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social—who I bet has never watched an NFL game— gets to be Mayor Football and not the guy who constantly talked about his football career in the '70s, hired his football buddies, and dropped at least one football reference in every speech

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Easily over a thousand extra deaths a year here.

Hypernormalization sounds about right.

Why did you not ask RFK Jr if he believes in germ theory? SPOILER: he doesn't!

It's in Chapter 9 of his horrible, terrible, miserable book, "The Real Anthony Fauci."

Because everyone is trying to figure out how to get Mike Johnson to do that. Well, him and Hegseth, et al.

then why can't we see it?

Is Congress afraid that the public doesn't believe in it either, so are unwilling to open that can of worms?

Any comments? @raskin.house.gov @repjasmine.bsky.social @ocasio-cortez.house.gov @sanders.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov @jayapal.house.gov ‬

The HHS Secretary continues, "They point out that the world is teeming with microbes—many of them beneficial—and nearly all of them harmless to a healthy, well-nourished immune system."
