There once was a writer named Nuzzi,
"BREAKING" news you otherwise would not see.
It wasn't a crime,
She thought at the time,
Collecting the nut of a Nazi.

So, women who refuse to be silenced will be silenced, apparently.

Idaho foster child advocates concerned abuse is worsening amid policy and law changes

Editor’s Note: This story discusses child abuse and neglect and may be upsetting to readers. Programs in Idaho that support foster children have unique challenges across the regions, but lately,…

It's because they're childish.

It's not a difference of opinion, because they're not even engaging with your opinion.

If people take it as a slight, that's a failure of maturity.

Opposition to trump is a broader political spectrum than the civil rights movement. No Kings is world wide.

So the conflict here is not an intellectual one, but instead a measure of just how infantile social media users can be.

The reason they're bringing religion into schools is because pedophiles want access to more children.

Newsweek: The Oklahoma superintendent of public schools is ending a mandate that forces schools to place Bibles in classrooms & incorporate scripture into lesson plans.

If you want scripture taught in school, then I want evolution taught in Sunday school.

So, load up a condemned building with a bunch of brown mannequins, in provocative poses, wait for the raid to begin and then implode the whole damn thing with the goons inside.

Drones flying around Chicago suburban houses and apartments to peer through their windows in search of Latino people to target for assault and arrest by federal agents is not a world we should accept. And Chicagoans are not accepting it. This is an anti-fascist city.

Professor Used AI To Write Medical College Textbook
Says Humans have 3 fingers.

Claire Zagorski, MSc, EMT-P @clairezagorski.bsky.social · 5d

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

Sydney Reid acquitted.

This was a case where someone filming was assaulted, and then arrested and charged with felony assault.

The grand jury no billed that, so they took her to trial on a misdemeanor charge. There were a bunch of discovery problems.

And now this.

Kudos to the FPDS!

A verdict form for Sydney Lori Reid. She was found Not Guilty.

It's critical to understand that there are a lot of parallels between Bluesky and X in insanity.

On there, you get dumb and angry racists arguing about things you didn't say. On here, you get depressed neurotics arguing about things you didn't say.

I am an actual expert on civil rights law. I have spent half my life studying the movement's victories. I have a bunch of civil rights material framed on my walls. But now it's going to be Bluesky canon that I don't care about civil rights because of a claim that I am told I was "implicitly" making

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.

But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

This is a bit like me claiming that because I'm a Pisces, I have the authority to prove the legitimacy of astrology.

Human beings can't change sex.

It's no coincidence that Trump's cabinet is a cesspool of sex criminals...mark my words...trump will decriminalize sex crimes against women and make them infractions that can be expunged for a nominal fine of $5!

Too crazy? SCROTUS decriminalized bribery! Interesting that they're eyeballs in bribes

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Worrying about microaggressions was the fetal position the left went into after getting its ass kicked for generations, for lack of any sugar daddies in a world where money equals speech.

They had to manufacture victories in "identities," because they had nothing to show in the real world.

Joking in your Young Republican group chat about the mass murder of 6 million people who'd been scapegoated for decades as morally degenerate ethnic/religious outsiders is just locker room talk. Speaking lightly of the murder of Charlie Kirk to your 400 friends on Facebook is a fireable offense.
