It's so liberating to be free from this monstrous company. Delete Meta. Delete your Instagram, your threads, and stupid Facebook. After almost two years free from it, I can look back and say they added almost nothing to my life except stress and guilt.
An ABC NEWS Verify investigation has found Facebook's parent company, Meta, is directly paying several controversial content creators including a white nationalist with Neo-Nazi links and a prominent anti-vaxxer.
My son was a HUGE fan of the Warriors, and when he was a kid, and obsessed with them, I read them too so I could share that with him. He would have been 26 right now but I think he would have been excited for this. Either way I've GOT to play it for him because he'll never get to. Can't wait!

Homie the only reason we live under fascism is because no one was caring when it was happening to Black people. Cop violence included.
Black ppl everywhere complain and no one cares or listens. This has been going on for many, many years. theintercept.com/2026/08/06/k...
I love editing Lach's selfies because he always just looks so genuinely joyful and at peace. What a happy dude. Very glad to call him a friend.
The amazing @kanoki.net take on it
There was a Mexican Tío on tiktok that was like "We have Cinco de Mayo and now yall have Cinco De Augusto 🥳" and it makes me smile every year
Happy #Chairteenth y’all. ✊🏾
I promised my body family size Culver’s cheese curds if it turns out I don’t have breast cancer at my appointment so here we go
Like you, I get caught up in the day-to-day horrors. Then I see some guy in the car next to me picking his nose with his finger up to the second knuckle and life is good again
"...THE REQUIREMENTS of the PUBLIC MARKET, which have NOTHING to do with being a successful GAME PUBLISHER." Say this over and over again. This is the rot at the core of the game industry. The Game Industry needs to turn into the Game Arts.

I agree with a lot of his points. Not all of them, particularly how dismissive he is of progressive politics ("all that crazy stuff"... my friend, it's not crazy, it's people crying out for change), but he's absolutely spot-on about the Black vote AND how FAST white people will flip.
El-Sayed won and to win in November will have to move to the center.. Here’s why
For me this was 40-45. Absolutely entire shift in my whole vibe, and I really settled in to who I am and who I want to be in the second half of my life. It's grand!
I can only speak for myself, but the life changes I had between the ages of 30 and 35 were the most drastic of my life since my early teenage years
As of today, Meatball the Cat is down two little meatballs. Also got him microchipped!
Get ready. It's gonna be this level of constant racism non-stop until November with these morons.
In Bari Weiss' Free Press, Olivia Reingold reported from El-Sayed's watch party that "there were keffiyehs as far as the eye could see ... keffiyehs on heads, keffiyehs as belts, keffiyeh-printed phone cases." Not a single one made it into images from Reuters, a local ABC station, or Detroit News.
Did y'all know that this 👇🏻 is a perfect summation of one reason why it's so important to tip? SW is a way for many of us to get to a better place (physically, mentally & emotionally), or to get away from being controlled by someone else. It allows us to take care of family. We don't need a car...
I dream about the day I have enough money to tell my ex to go fuck himself and immediately walk out of this nightmare of a house never to fucking return. My wellbeing kinda depends on it at this point. So yeah, tip me.
The European mind could never comprehend
fuck it, im on vacation
All of this progressive good news in Michigan comes on the backs of an irrefutable and uncomfortable truth: It's VOTERS that matter. TURNOUT matters, not "I'm super progressive I post on Bluesky about it constantly" or whatever that's called. We need all these loud progressive voices AT THE POLLS
In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

The Rogers campaign against El-Sayed is going to completely unhinged
This is wise, and hopefully his supporters and the supporters of his opponent will all model his behavior, rally together, and try to win the seat.
El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.
El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"
For years, Michigan progressives were told their ideas were too risky and their candidates were too far left. On Tuesday, voters proved the establishment was wrong. Check out the major progressive victories in Michigan. www.metrotimes.com/news/michiga...
Michigan progressives showed establishment Democrats the door - Detroit Metro Times
Michigan Democrats sent an unmistakable message Tuesday: They are tired of wealthy donors, corporate interests, party insiders, and outside groups deciding which candidates are acceptable.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
Total stranger with zero followers, zero following, sends me a message request something about "I'll provide financial support if you do a small task for my business that involves creating accounts..." I didn't even finish reading it. Miss me with this scam shit.
But not enough people are talking about THIS stellar victory. Shri "Give homeless people $20 to vote for me" Thanedar: GOODBYE Donovan McKinney WINS
I say this as someone who had plenty of negative experiences with some of the white-led DSA yearsssss ago. It's changed. The sooner we realize that class is what unites us all. They want us fighting with each other and drawing more divisive line. They want us fighting for crumbs. We do not have to.
I saw the biggest dog I've ever seen in my life at the vet this morning. His name was Ground Round and he was a Tibetan Mastiff and his paws were the size of a lion's.
