Reminder to everyone living with smoky air right now: DRINK MORE WATER. You're inhaling particulate even if you can't see it, your body needs to flush that crud out, and it needs water to do so. You're probably gonna produce more mucus and that's annoying, but it's helping clean out the crud.

good reminder that before the counting is over, election results don’t tighten. at no point is anyone trailing. nobody moves closer. they’re just tabulating the polls. it’s a fixed number that just isn’t done yet. to say otherwise is bad journalism but even worse math.

to add: The west is going to burn, fire has been here longer than the USA has, many Indigenous land management practices work alongside fire. Rather than focusing on who started a fire, we need to work out how to live with fire and how the city became a tinderbox and how to help people right now.

Just wanna caution everyone posting about the Spokane fires that an arrest is not a conviction and if we look at LA they haven’t been able to convict that guy.

Except for religious studies, the graduates of these "loan ineligible" majors are disproportionately women. Fans of this policy have probably never considered that social worker, cosmetician, teachers aide, etc might be low-paying jobs *because* women do them. newrepublic.com/post/213446/...

So…CBS buried a 60 Minutes investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s banking ties while claiming to uphold journalism. When billionaires own the newsroom, the public gets PR not accountability. Follow the money! 💰 #USDemocracy #RisingBlue newrepublic.com/post/213927/... via @newrepublic.com

60 Minutes Ended Story About Epstein’s Shady Bank Transactions

Senator Ron Wyden sat for an interview with correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi about Jeffrey Epstein’s bank transactions. Alfonsi was fired for other reasons shortly after, and the story never aired.

amazing how so few of the gazillion think pieces criticizing women for not dating straight men fail to mention the whole “many of them literally don’t wash their asses” thing:

Nikolaj Bill@nikolajbill.bsky.social · 17h ago

I remember a coworker in her late twenties saying this on how dating was so difficult. I was not surprised by her first two complaints: general anger issues and having few outside hobbies. I WAS surprised at her mention of how many men apparently don’t wash their hair or butts.

any even slightly rational woman would chase one of these horrible things out of their house with a shovel, not consider making it their life partner

Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 17h ago

“Yes, sure, I’d love to run the risk of spending time alone with a creature that can’t wash its own ass but somehow still believes that it’s inherently intellectually and biologically totally superior to me, that sounds amazing” - increasingly few straight women in 2026, and good for them

And I do mean that, as I found YESTERDAY that manosphere chuds are basically holding workshops on abusing women and kids. The technique this horrible man uses even has a name: DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim and offender). You can see him doing it in rapid succession.

If you have any history of abuse, do not watch the video of that representative being interviewed. I shouldn’t have and I am still amped up hours later. Those of you lucky enough not to speak abuser should, though. The guy is textbook.

it's crazy to me people still insist ai for research is reliable when we now have an Hbomberguy video's worth of evidence that its unreliability is tanking Hank Green's career

"Being charged with a federal felony, a conspiracy charge that holds the potential for six years in prison because I showed up to a protest, seems to me to be an attack on a fundamental right that all Americans hold," Mavalwalla, a combat veteran who served in Afghanistan, told NPR."

She protested ICE raids. Then agents showed up at her door

The Justice Department is using federal conspiracy charges to sweep up ICE protesters. Some legal experts worry the agency is casting too wide a net to prosecute political activists.

I really think we gotta explore why Republicans keep voting for guys whose whole personas are "serial killer with a chip on his shoulder." What is it about these obvious pieces of shit that draws these voters in.

Whether someone realizes it or not, accepting the "liberal bubble" framing at all is a way of granting the utterly absurd notion that the globally reviled and increasingly unpopular views of the reactionary right are the norm

Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com · 2d ago

"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

notice how he characterizes her actions as contempt but doesnt say she was held in contempt, meaning he either didn't file, or he filed and got shot down. One doesn't generally file even if one could over emergency medical care except maybe failure to notify of a hospitalization or serious injury...
