It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.
Despite the whining about “ historical accuracy,” the racist backlash to the casting in Nolan’s Odyssey is about the right wanting to justify racial hierarchy by projecting it into a past where it did not actually exist. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
People have debated the nature of the vibecession and why economic mood is more pessimistic than the traditional indicators would suggest. I think an underrated part of the story is being gaslight constantly about how our major recent innovations, crypto, sports betting, and AI are advancements. 1/x
i know dsa people and anti-dsa people love to talk about how they’re a separate political party, but i’m probably in a supermajority of regular democrats who basically view them as one of our caucuses. there’s no “democrats vs dsa”
They come in three varieties: Daily Beast headline (“Republicans are FREAKING OUT after Obama SLAPPED DOWN Trump”), fake poll (“are you for or against waterboarding kittens?”), or friendly-desperate candidate email (“John Ossoff here, with bad financial news”). It’s Mad-Libbed crap for fools.
Nobody in the U.S. Senate is more responsible for the overturning of Roe v. Wade than Susan Collins. In November, we will defeat her.
Real talk. They don't care if he tears this place down to the studs, as long as he hunts brown people, demonizes queer people, and erases Black people.
I’m a special education preschool teacher, and my students could use a hand this year. My students have a wide range of learning, communication, and sensory needs, and they thrive when they have access to engaging manipulatives and sensory tools designed to support their development.
Hands-On Manipulatives That Unlock Learning, a project from Ms. Erica
Help me give my students manipulatives, sensory toys, and hands-on activities that make learning fun while addressing their sensory and fine motor skills. My preschool special education students ha...

"THE ODYSSEY is historically inaccurate" Oh word, did you notice that there is a Cyclops in it
Imagine if a woman president spent most her time raving and crying about an election she lost 6 years ago. Emotional. Unstable. Hysterical. Unfit to lead.
when the cdc didn't care and the federal government attacked them, remember that taco bell stood with the people

The big news outlets (NYT, ABC, etc.) often dismiss their critics, particularly people who use social media. But the coverage of last night's speech was actually pretty honest---and therefore scathing. People on here and other places demanding less false equivalence/both sides are getting results.
Officially starting my youtube channel today, with a video that begins with Amadeus, and the ethics of fictionalizing history, but gradually veers into Ryan Murphy shows and When We Cease to Understand the World. As this video’s topic starts with A, next week’s will start with B. Any guesses?

*deep, deep sigh* This was Biden’s infrastructure bill, which contained *massive* environmental reforms. Our fellow voters decided they didn’t want a government that would enact it.
the food safety stuff is another reminder that a large, huge, gigantic part of being a republican is going “lmao why are we spending money to prevent horrifying disasters from happening if they never happen 🤪”
I haven't seen a post about International Nonbinary People's Day yet today on Bluesky, so I made my own. ;)

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Now for the second time in as many weeks, ICE has killed someone they weren’t even looking for. Two innocent men murdered by the government for how they look.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 3w agoBREAKING: BIDDEFORD, Maine (AP) - Homeland Security secretary said man killed by ICE in Maine was not the target of warrant, Maine Sen. Angus King says.
I’ll see you today at Mechanics Park in Biddeford at 12 PM. Abolish ICE. Solidarity forever.
The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti
Federal immigration agents who killed a man during a traffic stop in Houston on Tuesday had been searching for a different person, according to a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman.
