Votehub violated the VEST attribution license making maps with our precinct data and not crediting us. When confronted they continued doing it. I have nothing but contempt for them. If the lie by omission how are they reliable elsewhere?

This is from Danny Trejo’s daughter. I couldn’t figure out how he got involved with it. Looks like Shapiro duped Trejo, which isn’t surprising. I won’t watch the movie

"A 2025 study proposed combining rice husk ash, wood ash and rice straw to make a low-cost, carbon-negative material that could eliminate the need for cement [which accounts for ~1/12 of global emissions]."

This. As someone on the spectrum who's had to learn some VERY hard lessons about boundaries and public etiquette, being autistic shouldn't exempt someone from consequences for inappropriate behavior.

I’m sorry but people assuming the guy who got yelled at by Brandon was an uwu soft bean when he has a history of causing disturbances in cons and Millie cosplayers have come out to say he harassed them doesn’t sit right with me. Is it not more ableist to say “Guys he’s autistic he can’t help it”?

sounds like dsa national made a statement pushing to fire tisch / end SRG/CRT. nycdsa also made a statement that's more conditional wrt firing tisch, but still the same overall premise. definitely big pressure is happening to change either tisch or the NYPD in some fashion.

X is the Zone of Interest of social media sites. You might not be an active part of the horrors yourself, but there is an ambient moral rot that infects everything around you and which you cannot escape.

this is profoundly untrue even if you *aren't* the target of racial slurs and harassment campaigns. X is an unusable cesspit that radicalizes everyone who uses it as their primary social media.

I'm sure X is remarkably friendly if you aren't the target of racial slurs and harassment campaigns. Anyway, I wonder how many "niggers" I'll have to sift through if I start posting there again?

The MAGA influencer crew just tried to pull a massive smear campaign on Texas senate candidate James Talarico claiming they had a recording of a hospital employee at the Ohio based Lindner Center for Hope where they claimed he was hospitalized for mental health issues. It fell apart immediately.

If you're a reporter asking a candidate to denounce a foreign terrorist group simply because he shares the same religion, you are a gutter bigot of the worst fucking kind. Do they ask Mike Rogers to denounce Christian terrorists like Tim McVeigh, Eric Robert Rudolph and Robert Lewis Dear? No? Huh

@meetthepress.com interview w @abdulelsayed.bsky.social is 100% gotcha, starting w his criticizing Obama 14 years ago, at age 27. Two Qs on that, then 'can you deny ties to Muslim Brotherhood' etc. He handles them all with aplomb, and keeps coming back to economy, corruption, etc. But COME ON.

Very good and informative if like me and most of the people on here you're completely unaware of what's going on in India besides the protests that happened a few months ago I haven't been (By American standards) up to date with Indian politics since ~2022. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Happy National Coming Out Day! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ It was wonderful to celebrate the 5th Annual Montclair Pride with our LGBTQIA+ neighbors today! A huge thank you to Out Montclair, and all the organizers and volunteers who made this celebration of love, visibility, and belonging possible.

I really hope that election day traumatizes a generation of Republicans. I want to do to them what Reagan did to Dems.
