My dad is very involved with AA- 38 years sober. He started making these for people in his groups- he's made 121 (he mentors and goes to retreats). He's a talented artist. I'm so enormously proud of him and how he is supporting others on their sobriety journeys.

These proposed changes have seen significant bipartisan pushback and have been criticized by scientists across disciplines

My thoughts on being welcoming to MAGA chodes here is that during the Paleolithic, if people displayed antisocial behavior, raped/ were found to be pedophiles, our ancestors let them test their luck against the saber-tooth tigers one v one mode, and sadly there are no tigers around...
there are definitely downsides to the nuclear block but the reason I keep coming back to it as necessary and good is that it completely ruined the whole MAGA engagement model to the point that they prefer to mock us from the nazi bar rather than come here to troll us directly
Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
looking at the headlines and reflecting once again on how all the smart, hard-working, honest people I know feel like they’re going at least a little insane in our era of total Stupid Immoral Asshole ascendancy
heard an interview recently with an anonmyous wall street bro who said his employer would not subscribe to the president's truth social insider trading scheme because they did not want to go to prison when the rule of law returns
RFKjr reported the Roadkill Cafe for false advertising once he went there and realized they were not serving real roadkill.
Why is Sophie Cunningham making a stink about how women should be afraid of trans women in sports? She's such a shit player her WNBA opponents aren't even concerned about *her*. Go to the gym and work harder honey, keep your bigoted claptrack closed and sink more open baskets 😘
Really loved The Odyssey but it bugs me a little how they felt the need to change the language for modern audiences

Well this explains a lot
It is much more serious. Max Miller was PART of Jan 6. He was a trusted Trump aide in 2020; he helped plan the Jan 6 rally. He heard everything, knew it all. On Jan 6 he disappeared mid-rally as the violence over at the Capitol began, and never plausibly explained why. x.com/capitolhunte...
I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
When this is over, the people who were behind RFKjr's Presidential run and getting him elevated to HHS need to be prosecuted too
The Odyssey Project Hail Mary 🤝 Tell Me About A Complicated Man
If you want a big spectacular book-adaptation American movie about a reluctant clever hero on an impossible journey through weird places (which I do), Project Hail Mary is great.
Some great new reaction images to use when people are obtuse on BlueSky.

I agree strongly with this -- in that difficult moment, the possibility of collective effort was conceivable. Not everybody felt it, but many did. I think the political class did not like this one bit.
Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.
