No problem! I just got the magazine yesterday, so it hasn’t been out for very long. In case you’d like a photo of it, here it is:

A photo of an article in AARP magazine titled “Some Old Slang Is Fire” with examples of words that are currently back in fashion and ones out of fashion. Back in fashion words: bro, for real?, fire, and bet. Out of fashion: as if, righteous, gnarly, or bodacious, and six seven. Article written by Whitney Matheson based on an interview with linguistics professor Nicole Holliday from UC Berkeley

. @salinas.house.gov why on earth did you vote “Yea”? Do you have a fundamental lack of knowledge about what socialism is? This is basic political science stuff @indivisible-oregon.bsky.social @coin-indivisible.bsky.social

The same song in Spanish with the signs in Spanish. Per the video comments, here’s what the signs say: No digas nada, no firmes nada, cuidado no te engañen para dejarles entrar. diles que te quieres ir, pide un abogado, no les intentes de parar y graba graba ya!

There’s a video of a Bread and Puppet Theater performance starting to go viral on TikTok. It’s perfect for the times & really, really catchy. I’ve been humming it all day (One minor subtitle correction on the video’s subtitles: it’s “Ask for their name and badge number, *be* sure to write it down”)

If you’re on TikTok, look up Veronica and the Baby Boo. The person making the videos has a PhD in Theology and has a number of very funny sketches about Tracy, an angel who’s at the intake desk in Heaven, and what happens when certain people go there

Yes she is! And she’s the creator of the conspiracy theory pyramid that was going around several years ago, too.

The Conspiracy Chart created by Abbie Richards in 2021, which shows a graphic of an inverted pyramid which is separated into 5 tiers. Each tier, from the bottom up, shows an increasing level of severity, and each tier has a demarcation line showing what concept or idea separates the conspiracy theories listed in the lower tier from the conspiracy theories listed in the higher tier. Below the Pyramid reads “Grounded in Reality”. Above the Pyramid reads “Detached From Reality”.

From bottom of the pyramid to the top, the tiers are:
Tier 1 is “Grounded in Reality”
(Demarcation reads “Speculation Line”)
Tier 2 is “We Have Questions”
(Demarcation reads “Leaving Reality”)
Tier 3 is “Unequivocally False But Mostly Harmless”
(Demarcation reads “Reality Denial”)
Tier 4 is “Dangerous to Yourself and Others”
(Demarcation reads “The Antisemitic Point of No Return”)
Tier 5 is “World Ruled by Supreme Shadow Elite. Promoted Hatred and Violence to Marginalized Groups”.

Each tier also has the name of conspiracy theories which fit the description of the tier written inside of the tier.

Abbie Richards’ social media accounts are listed on the bottom of the image.

People complain so frequently that their free speech is being violated when individuals tell them their opinions are crap that I have this xkcd comic saved for easy use. What we saw today with the FCC Chairman literally threatening ABC/Disney with pulling their license? That *IS* a violation of 1A

xkcd free speech comic with six panes. A stick figure talks directly to the reader in the first five panes. The sixth pane is an image of an open door.

The panes say:
1. Public service announcement: the right to free speech means the government can’t arrest you for what you say.
2. It doesn’t mean that anyone else has to listen to your bullshit, or host you while you share it.
3. The 1st Amendment doesn’t shield you from criticism or consequences.
4. If you’re yelled at, boycotted, have your show canceled, or get banned from an internet community, your free speech rights aren’t being violated.
5. It’s just that the people listening think you’re an asshole,
6. And they’re showing you the door.
