I am uncomfortable with the term "Rape Culture." We value and uplift nearly all cultures and this term inadvertently, by our positive associations, elevates it. Or softens it. Strongly encourage more pejorative references: Rape Epidemic Rape Anti-Culture Criminal Rapist Groups

Another state is trying to criminalize homelessness, as if poverty responds to punishment. "Don't be poor! Don't you dare!"

Jared Kushner cannot legally participate in meetings as Trump's envoy unless and until he is confirmed by the Senate and files financial disclosures. We sued to enforce the law last week. So, no, he can't join this meeting with Zelensky today.

Junior might actually be tone deaf enough to try it in 2028.

The U.S. quietly* approved another offshore drilling zone, and the climate math keeps getting worse. *brazenly, without a second thought, daring us to mention it

His former foot soldiers are doing a good bit of our work for us.

Quick aside: I miss the days when political corruption was "he may have had an affair 15 years ago" or "she inappropriately put dinner on the expense report." Because the "stealing billions" and "organized child rape" simply does not fit in my brain.

Texas is expanding private‑prison contracts and marketing it as "efficiency."

Anthony Scaramucci: “I'll stipulate that Trump is an agent of Putin.”

😉

Also fuck Mike Johnson for saying politicians can't survive off $175k salaries but they expect citizens to live off $40k or $7.25 an hour. Fuck all the way off

Florida’s governor is pushing new limits on tenant protections, and landlords are treating it like a holiday.

One thing about this vile video Republicans are circulating featuring Amy Acton’s mother. It is not an ad. It is an online smear campaign. An ad is required to have a disclaimer at the end, revealing who paid for it and creating a modicum of accountability. This video has no disclaimer.

The Supreme Court is weighing corporate immunity again, and the lobbyists are already celebrating. Precisely as everyone recognizes the need for accountability and they get yet more immunity.

Damn straight! 🤬

Another refinery fire in Louisiana, and the company is already calling it “contained.” The neighborhood disagrees. We are a sloppy, destructive species.

🧊✈️ GRANDMA IN CHAINS 😲⛓️ SEATTLE: Guards escort a frail, shackled woman up the stairs of a GlobalX jet (tail: N630VA) to be transported south to a concentration camp in Arizona 👀

“Why are people becoming convinced that AI might be conscious in the first place?” @docgrawitch asks the question and digs for the answer. How surprising is it that a machine trained on zillions of words of human content ‘speaks’ as if it’s conscious? buff.ly/1sQs0mM

Congress is fighting over child‑care funding again, and the loudest voices have no children in the system.

Would you ever rely on STARLINK and be vulnerable to the whims of this man? “Some US officials say that Musk acted unilaterally and that Trump didn’t specifically order any retribution against Ukraine. But a person said Musk talked to multiple senior administration officials, including with Trump.”

Did you know this statistic: Ambulance response times are up 41%.

Pardon the sports metaphor...but it is the image I have in mind. go.bsky.app/MVuuz8Y

Do not know about you all, but my battles are a damn cage match of: Me vs. Myself vs. My Conscience vs. My Impulses vs. My Restraint vs. My Doubts vs. My Fears vs. My Regrets vs. My Determination to Improve vs. My Attempts at Positivity. I am host a whole world war in my head.

Some of our thoughts should never seek an audience. #Trump

Thank you!!! Pairing "culture" with "rape?!?" It is anti-culture, anti-civilization. I vote for "Rape Epidemic." ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Who owns both the media and the politicians?

Lord. Lord, you there? I am troubled, Lord.

Cannot believe laws of basic decency don't cover this.

I think we can all agree…

Crypto‑market regulation is finally gaining momentum. Volatility shouldn’t masquerade as stability. Adult governance requires adult definitions. But: still a total grift.

Crypto evangelists are back with fresh optimism, even though half of them ghosted during the last collapse. Boiler room losers.

I read somewhere that we were lucky to live during the brief period of human history after the invention of the photography/video and before it was trivial to mimic reality with AI. Now enjoyment of any cool image or video is tainted by the concern we’re being tricked. I think about that a lot

Later, the government will become "cool" and relax things....then it will legalize....then it will imposed controls, require licensing and ultimately turn this into the alcohol industry and collect taxes.

The U.S. Congress can’t pass basic domestic bills, but somehow finds time for more foreign weapons. Imagine: You are a simple family on the other side of the globe. Educating your young, trying to find some joy. And American made bombs come raining down.

Ukraine pushed Russian forces back again, and Kyiv is already hinting it needs another funding package. I am concerned about continuing loss of life, destruction without end and the economics of the ongoing strife.

Embarrassed to have finished this so late. "A Hearty Hello to Fall" might be the better title. go.bsky.app/9Erx6AM

Last word on the matter for today: Israel’s government continues propaganda about deterrence while entire neighborhoods vanish. From my study, I was certain the world had unanimously agreed this horror would not happen again.

Yet so skilled in art of negotiation and compromise....with son. And porn.

Until this, Nebraska's worst loss was the 70–10 defeat to Texas Tech on October 9, 2004, a 60‑point loss. #Cornhuskers #Nebraska

BEST feeling ever! My husband and I both voted Blue down the ballot. Do it for your children, your grandchildren, for democracy! Your vote matters! 💙 #StrongerTogether 💙🗳️💙

Gaza’s hospitals are running on fumes, and nobody with power seems in a hurry to change that. Further, images I see do not depict any intact structures. #Gaza

Liked him just a little bit when he shared Trump is in the Epstein Files. Where is that guy?

The U.S. keeps shipping weapons pretending it’s a neutral referee.

The Grift King.

Victoria's Secret Founder and star of Epstein Files, Les Wexner ran track in high school.🏃🏻‍♂️ Close friend of Jeffrey Epstein, Wexner has been a fantastic supporter of Ohio State sports, even having his name on facilities.🏈 Widely talented in sports and girls. #Victoria #Secret #Wexner #Epstein
