The Handbasket is good stuff as a matter of course, but this one is a barn burner. Every paragraph before an image insert or support link feels like it's tying a bow on the thing, but you keep scrolling and she just keeps on tearing into it.

NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:

Trump holds an impromptu press conference on his ballroom construction: "You can see the very large piping and the other things. It's a very complex building. It's all knit together. The roof goes with the ground floor. The ground floor goes with the roof. The roof also goes down into the basement"

love when you log on and every post is referencing something invisible that sounds insane like "if dogs and the cats are the same explain catnip, YOU CAN'T" and you have to decide to either give up your whole day swimming in the nonsense pool or turn off your wifi and let the earth reclaim you

It’s ok to stand solemnly at a concert not moving but if you push your way up through the crowd and then give dirty looks to people near your new location who are dancing and smiling, fuck you 😊

People need to get with the program and realize that classism isn’t just disgusting it is fatal poison to solidarity and necessary organizing against fascism. Fucking knock that fucking shit off.

I know it feels like making calls and sending emails doesn't do anything but offices do note what they're hearing about and it really can make a difference. It's worth the 2 minutes it will take to do it!

i have so, so many furious things to say about this but just to scream about one: when corporations declare themselves able to decide what art is or not made specifically for getting off, they are absolutely going to use that power to target even the tamest of queer art first.

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

AI: Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. LAST REMAINING HUMANS: Why are you like this? AI: Don't blame me, blame Harlan Ellison.

RFK Jr. showing his eugenicist beliefs. Here he is today at The City Club in Cleveland: "The average American who died from COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases. So what was really killing them? It was almost impossible for COVID to kill a healthy person. It was killing people who were already sick."

“We need a strong Republican party” is a psychopathic thing to say at this point. And in my opinion at ANY point in recent decades. But now? Straight-up saying hey friends, we still need a lot of fascism, a lot of racism. It’s necessary. C’mon guys. We need a destroyed Republican party. Ashes.

Jesus. Did that sergeant at arms walk there directly from the Pettus Bridge? The hair, the whole look, everything. Make the photo B&W, and you wouldn't know if it was 2026 or 1965. And the reasons are the same. And the fight's the same. Confederacy and Jim Crow lost before. They'll lose again.

Kennedy's goal here is consistent with all of his other policies aimed at undermining proven health interventions: he believes the people who benefit from them are defective and he wants them culled from the population. It's comic book villain logic, specifically Viltrumite logic.

Miranda Yaver@mirandayaver.bsky.social

This is such incredible bullshit. I am alive, thriving, and writing books on health policy/politics thanks to antidepressants. Antidepressants aren't for everyone, but they can be literal lifesavers. Attacking their prescribing & use is stigmatizing and dangerous. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

I want so badly to enjoy the met gala as a display of interpretive art, but since most attendees either can not understand or willfully ignore the gala's theme, I am forced to view it as simply a horror of wealth

Trump seems to be blaming “the radical left lunatics” for Rudy Giuliani’s hospitalization? “They cheated on the Elections, fabricated hundreds of stories, did anything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy. So sad!”

This really is it.

Chris Doyon@nilbog3000.bsky.social

"I voted for him because he would be good for my farm" is the public lie to cover for the fact that they love him for his hate and bigotry. Nothing matters more to Trump voters than that. They want to see the people they hate suffer and he delivers.

i don't like to complain about woke but my kid and his friends can't even bring nunchucks to class and when i went to school the principal beat you with nunchucks if you didn't go to class and they made a jim belushi movie about him

Oh hey thanks for the invite but I bought a bag of potato chips to bring to an event later this week so my weekend is completely full thinking about how I currently possess but am not yet supposed to eat those potato chips.

The real headline is that House Republicans and 14 terrible Dems just voted to deny access to SNAP to millions of people. Do not let any one of these fuckers tell you they're pro-life. They want people to starve and suffer & their votes repeatedly prove it. Here's the list of shitty Dems, btw
