yeah I think it's really important to note that most of the whales absolutely still need saving
Ethan Freedman@ethanpfreedman.com · 22h agoGuys, I'm sorry but we have not "saved the whales." These are population estimates for Southern right whales and sperm whales. It's bad for the whales if you think we saved the whales when they are not, in fact, saved! Sources: www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41...
I believe that every celeb who has appeared in a gambling ad should have to pay the gambling debts of people they lured in
Katie Heindl@wtevs.bsky.social · 18h agothe scariest thing about this story is it confirms everything about sports gambling is as bad as it seems — and getting worse www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
my gov trying to calm me by saying this is not the result of a cyber attack; they are just incompetent
as I said on the other place during the first go-round -- this is simply a Mafia-style bust-out, always has been. I mean, we knew that. But the unholy alliance of grifters, criminals, nihilists, white supremacists & con men continues to be deeply unpleasant to experience.
Micah@rincewind.run · 11h agothe next two years are just going to be a long parade of things that we’re used to relying on breaking one after another as stupid and corrupt men finish stripping the wiring out of the government
Sean Duffy gets mad when a reporter asks him why the administration and Republicans haven’t taken control of the air traffic control issue at some point over the two years they’ve had total control of the government

Gail Simone@gailsimone.bsky.social · yesterdayHere is a quick thing I did that shows I am not very smart. I will start this with the caveat that I don't use AI, good? Good. Last night, I wrote a pitch, a fairly long pitch for a major event. It wasn't a full-on pro document, but it was still six pages of concepts and notes. I was on fire.
hard to pick the best bits in this closer but I’m torn between “Bayeux Tapestry-loving bien pensants” and an adult man confidently announcing that he doesn’t know what “menopause” or “intersex” mean
Here's your reminder that Scrooge said disabled poor people should die as quickly as possible to decrease the surplus population
Woodo@woodo.bsky.social · yesterdaySpoilers for Ebenezer, like you give a fuck, but in the Depp-Skydance version of A Christmas Carol, the charity guys who get an earful about workhouses from Scrooge in the novel, here are portrayed as fraudsters trying to con Scrooge's nephew out of his inheritance. And a beggar murdered Fozziwig.
you know the Soros thing is 100% antisemitism when they keep crying about him while Musk put in half a billion into trying to win them Texas and their only response is to hope it'll be a billion next time
Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is simultaneously anti-Black and antisemitic. It exaggerates the agency of the imaginal Jewish puppet masters in order to deny Black agency over a Black political struggle.

Raphael Warnock said he wants Democrats to invest in the South after Colom’s win. “I’ve been frustrated that our party hasn’t leaned in enough, in my view, in the South. I supported him because I thought he could win. Turns out I was right about it.” www.thepoliticalspectrum.news/p/scott-colo...
Scott Colom and ‘the end of the cynical, bigoted Southern Strategy of Richard Nixon’
