At some point we are going to have to reckon with what percentage of the Thought Leadership we get from this class of people is just drug addiction. Either a lot of credulous reporters have never listened to someone tooted out of their mind go on a monologue or they're afraid to call it out.

Miller is a piece of shit. But be cautious about calling family photos of nude toddlers "CSAM." I've written about lives ruined over allegations that turned out to be harmless photos of kids taking a bath or running naked through the house. Moreno is already calling for prosecutions, here.

Max Miller’s lawyer admits to accidentally releasing ‘private images’ of daughter

Lawyers for ex-wife Emily Moreno said possible “Child Sexual Abuse Material” was included in a trove of documents the Ohio lawmaker publicly posted.

I also turned out better because I was terminally online at an early age I don’t think this is universally true but it was for me

this isn't very popular to say, but for me personally, it was good that i had unrestricted internet access when i was a minor. i was aware of what i was doing and enjoyed it. i don't look back on it and go "well that was a mistake", i look back on it and wish i could do it for the first time again

ok now that I've gotten public buy-in on the Taco Bell Principle, let's find out if we can apply it in real time

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · yesterday

I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Armand my freaking muse

this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d ago

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

Sorry for re-sharing, but the funds raised so far already ($1,300) went toward expenses in June—but developments in the past week are 1) my cat (Zel) needed $2,500 emergency surgery, & 2) seems there’s a balance of $1,500 from a scan I had in January that’s gone to collections. gofund.me/d8ae681e1

i am begging you — including some of you who follow me that i'm seeing in the OP QTs — to actually read what senate democrats are getting out of this and to stop and think for, like, at least 90 seconds, about what *else* you think a minority party *in both chambers* can squeeze out of the majority

GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · 3d ago

stripping OMB of the ability to dole out grants is an enormous win, this nukes the SAVE act, it prohibits further ICE bailouts, adding a "no, really, trump can't break already on-the-books laws regarding elections the federal government doesn't run" clause would be both unnecessary and unproductive

Autistic people: keep it up, we are fire

remember how Riley Gaines’ swimming coach raped a bunch of her teammates? then when her career path became TV Nazi she defended him and he claimed he was being targeted for standing up against trans women in sports? anyway she cares deeply about women and girls being safe.

if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”

I also feel like it's a little early to announce since there are only 7 pages so far but I finally started my #hannigram gamer AU fancomic, it took me like 3 years almost to finally start because of the burnout, it's the silliest idea but I'm taking it so seriously and I hope people will like it 🎮

thunderstruck sounds like a song the gremlins from gremlins would make if you locked them in a Guitar Center

The median voter (!) now says Abolish ICE and if you don't think a big chunk of that has to do with Trump and Vance, then I don't know what to tell you. He's speaking to normies right now. Not some fringe left group. We got yoga pants Brentwood types putting themselves in from of ICE vans now.

Casual reminder that the original plan for Ben Shapiro's "Lady Ballers" was for it to be an undercover documentary where dudes sign up to compete in women's sports, only to find out that places that allow trans athletes to compete actually have rules and standards.

Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 6d ago

Ben Shapiro spends his entire show mocking the WNBA and its players. Including a montage his team put together of missed shots at the All-Star game which he laughs at. It's incredible how much transphobia can just let you be an open misogynist.

it is not an insult to trans people to play the nyt games. that's not true. i encourage people to not give them money but let's please be serious here about weighing the tangibility of the harms we are facing

imagine there's a wildfire going on and you look out at the treeline and see this thing just standing there staring back at you from amidst the inferno
