I can tell red state Dems one thing: release a transphobic ad and you won’t see a dime from me

bsky finally adds an edit button but it just summons an editor from the atlantic to tell you how conservative white men are the real oppressed minority

actually curious what crime this kid is supposed to have committed? it sounds like he bought a gun (legally?) and they arrested him because they believed he'd commit a crime with it later? that's some minority report shit

None of this year's science Nobel Prizes have gone to women. The number of these prizes to go to women remains at 27 out of more than 600. See how many you can name in our quiz: www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

at one job I was on my second day and a man came in, I told him I was still training and took a while to help him, and he sarcastically said "looks like you still need more training" like NO SHIT what do you think I'm fucking doing

The IceCube neutrino detector has won the 2026 Nobel Prize in physics. The Trump administration has proposed slashing its budget in half in 2027.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

it's interesting because if I were to pick one thing to be "the project of journalism" it would be "speaking truth to power" but apparently this guy thinks it should be writing fawning little profiles instead

This is the scene outside Bard high school this morning — FBI agents and armed soldiers acting as if children going to school on a Friday morning is some national security threat.

I keep seeing this Semafor graph that seems to show the Trump administration’s effect on international visits is comparable to the pandemic. My first thought was “that can’t be true” and indeed it is not. This is monthly data. We only have to Jun/Aug 2026. The lines are over-fitted to the months.
Semafor graph with catastrophic drops.

I actually don't think the Republican Senator mixed up "Hawks" and "Hawkeyes." Going by his own statements, it appears his staff saw he went to a basketball game on that date and googled basketball games and found the only men's game that night in the whole country was in Atlanta.

I made up my opinion about this guy when I read a scifi short story he had written where, in the future, nonconsensual sex was normal and encouraged and this was presented as a good thing. just an absolute fucking creep.

also a lot of people, myself included, called obama a coward for waiting as long as he did to endorse gay marriage. I still think that. comparing talarico to obama is not the slam dunk these people think.

no one hates drivers more than other drivers. if you drive a car, you should be rabidly in favor of any policy that gets those assholes blocking the lane in front of you off the road.

I felt the same in like 2012(?) when he got massive accolades for daring to support marriage equality. his whole thing has always been doing the bare minimum and acting like some kind of hero/martyr for it.

SPOTTED: National Guard soldiers are moving into Gallery 64, a luxury apartment building in SW DC where rent is $2,400/mo for a 1BR or $6,000+/mo for a 3BR. Instead of helping people afford healthcare or food, Trump is giving occupation forces a rooftop pool.
