I heard “inshallah and the creek don’t rise” the other day.

Taking my time to really listen and learn from the very valid concerns of the MAHA movement:

There’s a guy on TikTok who posts just him taking a pizza out of the oven every day with tongs and all of the comments are about how their day is ruined from having watched this

Morton Salt Girl is a merry fellow; Bright blue her label is and her shoes are yellow

Bet you didn't know that the Little Morton Salt Girl is an immortal being who existed before there was life on Earth.

Maddow asked #JamesTalarico about attacks on #trans people and those who think that to win, Dems must "moderate" on trans rights. Talarico answered, "I don't believe we win by selling people out." #Texas

America votes in more than 10,000 different election jurisdictions, each with different rules set by state and sometimes local governments. That structure makes the nation's elections extraordinarily complicated — and also safe from widespread fraud. https://to.pbs.org/3T4duz3

Here's what makes American elections so complicated and secure

One of the strongest security features of U.S. elections is the fact that they aren’t conducted at the federal level.

Every Gender Studies major deserves an apology for every joke made at their expense. People studied STEM because everything was science and engineering. People studied CompSci because everything was computers. People studied Gender because as it turns out, everything actually is Gender.

part of the charm is everyone dropping big money on these setups implicitly acknowledges the software is mostly useless and the hardware will be out of date almost overnight. real computer touchers know it's about love of the game, not actually getting anything done

I fucking hate AI almost as much as I hate the sniveling asshole billionaires and shithole corporations who have all forced it into every conceivable spot in our lives. It literally makes everything worse and it makes us worse and I fucking hate it.

I’m not sure whether this is just a psychological difference or AI bros fundamentally don’t understand the nature of an artistic experience, but: I don’t want a personalised film/book/podcast. I want to see/read/hear the same one as everyone else, so I can read reviews or discuss it with my friends

Doctor: The AI is giving you psychosis, perhaps you should ground yourself by learning some facts from YouTube Science Man YouTube Science Man: but doctor,

Very close to achieving my dream of having hair like Scott Pilgrim’s picture of Ramona Flowers’s hair.

I used to do some work on the ethical use of satellite and drone imagery for aid and disaster response, and it is genuinely hard to express in words what a dangerous, stupid thing Google is doing by making it easy to use GenAI to create faked satellite imagery:

How to plant a nuclear plant in Iran

The question is: what on earth is Google doing?

Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

Rodger Sherman@rodger.bsky.social · 6d ago

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

Redditor: do you reaffirm your support of transgender men, women, and children? Ed Markey:

You don’t want hands free driving, you want trains. You want trains you want trains you want TRAINS

You’re telling me the “execute arbitrary C code” website was COMPROMISED??

China built a 40-story tower that banks wind power by hoisting giant concrete blocks, then dropping them when the grid needs juice. A skyscraper-sized battery with no lithium in it.

Reversing these cruel policies needs to be near the top of the next Dem president's agenda. Not just abolishing ICE but overall reform. The state department should not be able to unilaterally revoke TPS or other immigration status for any group without congressional approval.

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.
