I just woke up & went straight to check the MI primary results. The absolute CACKLE that erupted from my face when I saw El-Sayed won!!! 🙌 It's not only that I prefer him to Stevens. I get happy whenever people are thwarted from buying elections. Gonna go listen to "People Have the Power."

I took that to get all sleepy & cozy & go to bed but I'm so stressed out these days that now I just feel normal 🙃

Tonight we find out whether Michigan voters are bluesky posters or bluesky replyers

Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe

Fighting for and winning the right to free movement of all people is fundamental to any chance survival of our species and our world. Borders will increasingly mean extermination, genocide and treating people as expendable

“Here’s a radical thought: what if migration is only a problem to those who want it to be? What if we started seeing the mass movement of people less as an existential threat and more as a simple inevitability of human existence?”

New study suggests collective well-being depends more on building supportive communities than on individuals pursuing their own personal joy...evidence that a communitarian approach (societies where they care for others) is highly effective at boosting a nation’s overall happiness. Wow, shocking 🙄

Scientists identify five key factors linked to happiness across 66 countries

What makes a society truly happy? New research in The Journal of Positive Psychology suggests that supportive, inclusive environments boost national well-being significantly more than individualistic ...

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

"Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of Allendale, California." Today is a good day to read Ray Bradbury's short story There Will Come Soft Rains. It's a relevant story for the times we find ourselves in.

What absolute fresh rage-baiting hell from the media while Epstein survivors continue to receive fresh rounds of torture from this regime of pedophile protectors that has rendered pregnancy a potential death sentence.

7. You should get vaccinated for it probably 3x a year because the vaccine efficacy wears off. Yes, even though you can still get COVID if recently vaccinated. It still helps you!

Urge surfing texting my ex 🙃

What I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.

Bane & Killmonger had many valid points

I am extremely happy to be watching Clipse at Lolla w/ @thatguywasfly.bsky.social from the comfort of our couch. Now I entertain myself with Clipse-related emojis: 🔑🗝️🚪🐓❄️🌨️🎤

It really really really bugs me how many people simply do not understand what it means when the government tries to convict you even IF THEY FAIL TO DO IT. Do you know how many thousands of dollars in legal fees it costs? You will most likely lose your job. You might lose your home.

To wake up early, on a rainy Saturday, without tickets to Lolla, to take a Xanax & get more sleep (until my body's done!) —such bliss.

A key Senate committee vote next week won't include AI, but there's a stupid "porn" age verification bill. Why the SCREEN Act is worth your attention: 👉 Age verification required for ANY "interactive computer service" that makes adult content available 👉 IP address verification 👉 VPN restrictions
