LIES! There's a 100% chance that you'll die, just not right now. This is because you have a sexually transmitted condition called "life" which given enough time is 100% fatal.

TV stations now need to raise their ad pricing - they might lose some cheap ad volume, but make it up with higher charges for all political ads.

The USA had more babies in 1957 than it did last year — with half as many women to have them. Every month of US births since 1933. The three lowest years on record are the last three, and November 2025 is the emptiest month on the map. Data: @hmdatabase.bsky.social + CDC

In 1969 the most common US first-time parents were a 21-year-old mother and a 22-year-old father. By 2024 the peak sits at 30 and 30. It didn't just move, it dissolved: the ten most common pairings covered a fifth of first births in 1969, half that today. #dataviz #demographics #fertility

So the school district really wanted to avoid discovery of email (were there parent complaints or just rage machine?), and were willing to throw in an extra 25k to not apologize. *slow clap* What nice people.

Anyone who says *any* President hasn't done bad things is worth being ignored or ridiculed. What matters more (IMNSHO) are *WHY* and *HOW*. Trump's attacks on Iran and Venezuela don't pass the sniff test.

Cat's working on getting her family to a new stable option, but the universe and a year of bad job market mean some urgent needs. If anyone is in a position to throw some $$ her way that will reach her in the next couple days you'll be helping a small family and making the world a nicer place.

I spent a year trying to avoid asking for help. But my kids, cats, and I are about to be homeless. No car anymore. I have a plan to keep my family safe, but I can't do it alone. Even a repost helps. www.gofundme.com/f/help-cat-f... #MutualAid #GoFundMe #HousingCrisis #CrowdFund #DigitalNomad

If Trump is hurt by someone physically attacking him it's going to rile up his remaining followers in dangerous ways. I'd much rather see him have an episode that makes it clear to even the most ardent that he has to be removed. That'll also lead to more internal strife and backstabbing.

Cat got dealt a bad hand in the early federal cutbacks while still in the process of getting onto stable footing and could really use a bit of #assistance while getting to a new stable state. If you're in a position to help or are looking for someone who talks to both techies and non-tecies...

Cat Bailey has been working to keep the lights on since the early 2025 mass layoffs and is trying to keep a storage unit with her deceased ex's estate in place for one of her children. If you're in a spot to toss a bit of dosh that way every bit helps. infosec.exchange/@hotarubiko/...

Annoyed that he kept saying the Dems needed to swing it by 22 points. No! They needed to swing it by 11 to eke out a 50+1 win, and it looks like they probably only managed ~8ish.

@nbcnews.com #kornacki WRONGLY keeps saying the Dems need a 22 point swing, no, they need an 11 point swing to address the 22 point margin. 9 point shifts in the very Republican counties is close to that 11 point shift.

So frustrating listening to Kornacki keeping saying she needs a 22 point swing. No. 2024 was a 22 point margin. Half that would be a swing.

I'd still love to see Zelensky say "if Donald Trump feels that this should be settled by giving up territory, we'll accept West Virginia."

Listening to coverage of Mr "Kill the cops" being hired by the #Trump admin, I can't help but ponder their reaction if a satire content creator started hyping a "Day of Love to welcome Congress back from their summer break." Think they'd feel it was a threat? #politics #Jan6

@maddow.msnbc.com re: Mr "his own assistant" is anyone pursuing charges for double-dipping? Those are separate paid positions and I'm pretty sure the DOJ isn't set up to allow volunteers.

Paxton is a man in a position of power with all the ethics once can expect of the members of the modern Republican party. Why assume it was fully consensual?

@chrislhayes.bsky.social re: memecoins and any crypto, remember that all blockchain transactions have an associated cost in electricity to be processed by miners and become part of the blockchain. Those transaction fees can float, so if a coin drops too low watch out....

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com re: "no tax on overtime," you might find it worthwhile looking at what jobs regularly do get a LOT of overtime. Hint: they're in the news regularly, sometimes it's even related to the amount of overtime they're paid for.

In addition to a proper response, "we request clarification: has anyone checked the qualifications of the people whose names are on these briefs and confirmed that they're actually the ones submitting them?"

Curious about the mask (holder?) you're wearing, is it a holder for surgical masks/mask fabric?

It's not nonsense, it's a pretext. Nobody believes it, but that won't stop them from using it to claim tax cuts are needed.

@kairyssdal.bsky.social re:Apple's spending, was any of that going to also get funds from Biden-era legislation? A bit of bronzer stroking to save that? And re: 5 things last week, one agency reportedly said [IF you respond assume it's read by a hostile foreign power]

Maybe - but that would get fought out in court. At the very least there'd presumably be months of legal challenges drawn out as much as possible.
