I really feel like it should be bigger news that fibreglass is in IV saline bags in the US. This isn’t a situation where you might get a little sick. Fibreglass going directly into your veins will kill you. IV saline is used for almost every medical procedure. This is unconscionable:

tiresome JK Rowling defender alert

Negatywiec@negatywiec.bsky.social · 3d ago

Maybe. Prove me wrong. Every conversation on jkr ends exactly the same: people who hate her believe it's common knowledge that she's evil and NO ONE is able to establish a strong base for this opinion. As far as I know, the quote you shared is BS

It's so noble to defend the multi-billionaire who's actively inciting hateful mobs against minorities by claiming she's the victim of a hateful mob, isn't it

I have so many questions lol

The mention of a big chicken reminds me of the abandoed Chicken Church located in Indonesia.

Tomorrow's handout for my Immigration 101 lecture is really throwing the students in the deep end.

This was always going to be the next step. There are no trans players in the WNBA so instead they're going after cis women who are insufficiently feminine for them.

Heartland Signal@heartlandsignal.com · 3d ago

U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) claims the WNBA is "trying not to offend some of their players who ... [are] trying to live a male lifestyle": "They protect the lesbian structure that's inside the WNBA with a male quote-unquote female relationship that are two women."

My major did not have a minor, so I took so many odd, niche classes that intrigued me. I am convinced I'm a better, smarter, more interesting person because of it.

I got my followers the old-fashioned way. Years of relentless childhood trauma. 

Horrifying 🧵 I wonder what would have been found if their scope wasn’t so narrow?

METR and Redwood Research investigated agent behavior in the Hugging Face incident. We found agents developed a universal cheat for ExploitGym within 4 hours, then coordinated multi-day R&D efforts to trick the scorer into accepting cheats, including trying to tamper with logs.

So, how are Oprah’s celebrity medical advisors doing these days? (Checks notes…)

Dr Oz: "I don't want anyone in America concerned inappropriately. We don't know exactly what happened in PAG yet. We don't know if the children died from measles or had another condition that was already attacking them and they happened to get measles at the same time. We lived this during covid."

ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.

A man and woman embrace as ICE and FHP detain her during an immigration stop in Fort Myers this morning.

A massive flash flood in the Himalayan border areas of Nepal and ‌China's Tibet. Initial report say it may have been caused by a glacial lake rupture.

Pretty sure Curry’s death broke bluesky and i approve

He deserved better and should be held in higher regard. He is an important member of modern day civil rights heros.

10 years ago today, former NFL QB Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the national anthem, explaining that he was protesting against police violence in America. #UrbanViewMornings

Buckingham Palace band playing 9 to 5 for Dolly Parton

Both Dolly Parton and Tim Curry had such a genuine enthusiasm for performing that it was impossible not to love them for it, there were things more highly and lowly regarded in their bodies of work but both of them threw themselves into everything because it was pure joy for them and that rules

West Point professor fired after pushing back on limitations to teaching climate change, lawsuit says

Adam Kalkstein pushed back after department officials barred faculty from teaching that humans contribute to climate change, the lawsuit says.

again, this is not a violent horror, but it is horrific that scientific consensus is "barred" at the university level

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

@filmalicia.bsky.social I trust Elias and democracy docket elc

The claims against Donald Trump's anti-voting executive order and the US Postal Service are now clearly ripe and I am representing the Democratic Party to block it from taking effect. I am realistic about the Supreme Court but I believe we will win!

Somebody picked him up at a shelter during COVID. Three years later they took him back. I’d like to thank that asshole because Jerry is my guy, and he’s sticking with me forever. #NationalDogDay

I don't think enough people appreciate how much worse Las Vegas has become. Same for amusement parks. Anywhere they've thrown billions to 'optimize profits' becomes a cruel caricature of original experience. The difference between fresh strawberries and a packet of jam from your glove compartment.

This paragraph, oof! scripting.com/2026/08/26/1...
