Learned last night that we’re getting a Netflix miniseries on the Garfield assassination with Michael Shannon as Garfield and Nick Offerman as Chester A. Arthur, and how are we not all talking about this? www.netflix.com/tudum/articl...

People will just say any old thing, huh? “They called Mitt Romney Hitler, trust me, I am a historian.” No the fuck they didn’t, you literally pulled that out of your rectum.

Next month they'll announce that you'll be able to sext with your favorite historical figure. Then you'll be able to get Abe Lincoln to ASMR at you, and after that obviously comes the omniscient godlike AGI.

Sam Altman says ChatGPT will soon sext with verified adults

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

I guess but like…by the time I moved to this address, I hadn’t gone by that name in 7 years!

It’s a grocery store that’s having a grand opening. I don’t believe I ever even set foot in one of their locations when I went by that name. I’m baffled as to how they got it—we have rewards cards for them under our current government names.

wtf I just got a promo mailer addressed to…a name I haven’t gone by in twenty fucking years? And there is absolutely no reason that name would be tied to this address?? It is a literal dead name—my dead ex-husband’s surname. I’m pissed and unnerved by this.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

As another Jewish woman in the industry, I can clear this up: It's due to her being an asshole.

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 1d

Fox News host Emily Compagno claims that the backlash to Bari Weiss being named CBS News editor-in-chief is due to her being Jewish:

"This kind of thing would make me laugh if there was not an antisemitic thread in there."

So, Łink is still banned? All the accounts we see catch bans and come back, and all the ones that mysteriously never get banned, but the one that stays banned is Łink?

I had a dream during my nap today that @bsky.app reinstated @spacelawshitpost.me and I was so disappointed when I woke up and discovered that wasn’t true.
