This administration is terrified of its own citizens speaking up! Governor Greg Abbott has once again activated the Texas National Guard ahead of the second No Kings event, specifically targeting Austin, and labeling the rally a “planned Antifa-linked demonstration.”

“How much did you make last year?”
“$37 MILLION.”
“How much did you pay in taxes.”
“2-3 MILLION. Don’t blame me, change the tax code.”
“Go @ZohranKMamdani !”
“If he wins I’ll leave.”🤔

PSA: It’s not “social media” souring young people on capitalism. It’s greed.

They joined Bluesky because they can’t live without your attention. They don’t want to govern, they don’t even really want to “win” in a conventional sense, they just want to play online all day owning libs and it drives them crazy when they lose access to your one wild and precious life.

Block fascists. There's no reasoning or arguing with them, you might as well debate with spoiled leftovers. Don't let them bait you. Block fast, block often, block fascists. Let their accounts mummify.

I'm not all that far in Z-A but my biggest complaint about it, and the Pokemon franchise as a whole, is Nintendo's refusal to add voice acting to modern Pokemon games. They'd be SOOO much better if these characters had a voice.

A leaked chat revealed Young Republican leaders trading bigoted slurs. Journalists at nearly every major outlet walked out of the Pentagon rather than submit to Hegseth's new rules. And a judge stepped in to stop Trump’s mass firings of federal workers. This week's top stories broken down here:

Young Republicans' vile group chat revealed. Pentagon reporters walk out. Judge blocks mass federal worker firings.

I've only barely started Pokemon Legends ZA, can someone please explain why @nintendousa.bsky.social refuses to add voice acting to modern Pokemon games? 🙄😤🤔 It'd make them SOOOO much better. I mean, look at #DigimonStoryTimeStranger and how much better it is with voice acting.

Hey @nytimes.com, did you change your headline, and change "Islamophobic attacks" on Mamdani to just "attacks," because Elise Stefanik and the GOP bullied you into it? Really? Why are they no longer Islamophobic attacks, as your headline originally and correctly stated?

Great reporting from @erininthemorning.com. If anything mattered anymore, this kind of analysis, and the overzealous misuse of the data would be humiliating.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing

The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

Wanted to share a photo of this life-size replica of the “YHWH and his Asherah” inscription & drawing on Pithos A from Kuntillet Ajrud (the best one I’ve seen!) that my friend Robert Augat sent me. He’s building a cool inventory of artifact replicas at relics3d.com.
