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

Just randomly remembered how insane this soundtrack album is. When they were so sure of a hit, everyone signed on. Bowie, Prince, Siouxsie and the Banshees, No Doubt, Killing Joke. Two from TKK, and on and on, plus multiple diegetics from David A. Stuart

They think they're being clever eugenicists by saying that people with "underlying health issues" don't matter, but >75% of U.S. adults have a chronic condition (including 60% of age 18–34). So what they're really saying is "nobody matters, it's okay if everybody dies from inadequate regulation."

Breaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.

The Democratic establishment LOVED this guy, and thought he could be President. Contrast that with how they’ve treated our current Mayor

A video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.

Good time to remember that Jeffrey Epstein had a hand in fomenting the entire GC panic that overtook the UK and eventually the US. Vulnerable women and girls under constant gender surveillance, trans or otherwise, are a special treat for predators

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Ohh sad to hear it, both great movies. Also, not her most important performance, but my favorite, is the tranquil and hypnotizing Air Hostess, which I grew obsessed with a few years ago. Check her out on American TV in 1959. Diva!

It's been reported that Grace Chang, Hong Kong's preeminent Mandarin screen diva of the 50s, passed away this afternoon, one day shy of her 93rd birthday. Watch Mambo Girl and The Wild, Wild Rose to see her at the height of her powers.

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

These third country deportations are among the most evil acts of the Trump administration. They're trying to extrajudicially punish people for seeking asylum, up to and including with death.

Great reporting from @emilybregel.bsky.social about a gay man who’s been in the US since he was four, imprisoned in a “hotel” in Equatorial Guinea since April. He says he’s being denied soap and toilet paper in retaliation for filing a complaint w African Commission. 1/ tucson.com/news/local/b...

Kids: 1 KIDS Act: 0

We will be ready to have a real discussion about Covid when we accept the fact that “the vulnerable will fall by the wayside,” said by Fauci, under Biden, was eugenicist policy.

I've seen similar sick shit to this when Alice Wong and others have died. Open celebration. American "leftists" have fully embraced the far-right eugenicist narrative on airborne illness. I'm supposed to organize with this?? Half the NY DSA is like this

Not wasting any time getting to the "all LGBT content is pornography" part of the ID verification laws.

Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social · last wk.

The Missouri Attorney General is threatening librarians with arrest over an LGBTQ+ story hour for kids, suggesting that a picture book about gay dinosaur dads is "pornography." The Secretary of State says he'll pull funding if the event happens, citing the state's new age verification law.

‘Anthropic described the project as “our effort to disruptively scan all the world’s books” in an internal memo, which noted “we do not want it to be known that we are pursuing this project”.’

Happy 36th anniversary of the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. To this day, disabled people still can't get married, and our rights are actively being challenged over and over. True disability inclusion happens when we're equals to our able-bodied peers.

I was once talking to a younger Star Wars fan, and when I mentioned that Han shot first, he didn’t even know what I was talking about. He didn’t even know about the original version. She had braces. It’s not even a question. She had braces.

90% sure a friend just sent me a text written by chatgpt, and it has 100% changed how I feel about them

It’s a crazy world out there, and when Instagram user KingdomCome1488 and the American Academy of Pediatrics disagree, it can be difficult for busy parents to know who to trust
