Gotta get the pin back up there.

Rest in peace, Franny pea. I love you so much. 🌈🐇

A rabbit yawning under a cardboard tunnel on a white background. All caps black text reads "why is it always thinking" with a brain emoji underneath. It is implied that the bunny is screaming at the brain.

I'm literally going to fucking scream. This fucking big tent bullshit seems to always, always, always open the door to the fascist right and never moves in the direction of progress. And the ALWAYS trample over the voice of those who will be truly harmed.

What the fuck is wrong with you? This woman is virulently antisemitic and bigoted to everyone under the sun. If you can't see how aligning with her out of convenience is a bad thing I feel sorry for you. She'd see my wife and son dead. Look me in the fucking eye and tell me I'm wrong to object.

So tempting to teach an online course in rhetoric by just using NYT headlines

Mark Jacob @markjacob.bsky.social · 8h

The New York Times knows crime is not “out of control” in major U.S. cities — in fact, crime is way down from past years and decades — but NYT amplifies JD Vance’s lie without a fact check.
It’s journalism malpractice that helps the fascists.

And then they get in the car and take off like the spineless fucking wimps they are. Pulling a fucking gun on some dude just fucking standing there. What weak, disgusting people. The world will be a better place when the last footstep of the last of their lineage is reclaimed by the earth.

lol just realizing i haven't seen hide or hair of any of the "the dems CAN'T do a shutdown, then the republicans will attack them!" people from months ago panic and doomsay about dems doing a shutdown now. in fact they appear to have full support from the same kinda people.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

Know your rights flyer in Spanish on street pole

Pritzker should be held responsible for the police nominally under his control; that being said, this is going to be a problem for every politician you try to sell us on as a savior. Because everyone of them, and many of their supporters, refuses to actually confront what the police are doing.

Have you ever eaten overcooked, mushy, cold spaghetti with a dirty fork after getting home from a 14 hour shift where people screamed at you because the chefs put cheddar cheese on their nachos instead of cheddar AND pepper jack cheese?

Go look at this sub it is a fucking gift.

A picture of some scrambled eggs on top of a piece of toast. It is artfully plated on a disposable paper plate. It is titled:

"Yesterday my scrambled eggs were oversalted. This morning they were undersalted. I have to kill myself."

A reddit post with some absolutely awful spaghetti in meal prep containers titled:

Decided to get into meal prepping and just made 7 days worth of the most absolute dogshit pasta I've ever tasted. Now I have to come home from my horrible minimum wage job everyday and sit down and forcefeed myself this slop like a good little slave. I'm 24 years old and I've never kissed a girl.

Hi hello did you know that Elon Musk's third Neuralink patient (previously nonverbal) is "getting help from Grok" to communicate

and I hope -- I REALLY HOPE -- he's not stuck in his own brain listening as a robot talks for him without his input because this, to me, would be worse than death

This patient’s Neuralink brain implant gets a boost from generative AI

A patient who types with his brain thanks to a Neuralink implant is using AI chatbots to speed things up.

The illegal fence in front of ICE is set to come down Tuesday by midnight. Help me stay through Wednesday to cover it!

Currently headed to my third protest of the day, so watch for updates.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Do they really think they can reclassify a laundry list of technologies that have real, practical and impactful use cases because they "circumvent" the problem **they** created?

I'm so tired.

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · 3d

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.
