I went to swim laps today, I'm so tired. getting old sucks. It's so much easier to swim in the ocean.

The least surprising scandal ever is going around. You’ll know what I mean if you’ve seen it.

@nytimes.com Yo... why haven't you covered this? I've checked, its' a real thing, why haven't you covered this?

@billpress.bsky.social when has Trump ever not been out of control? From the very first the signs of incompetence and impulsive have been clear. To say “he’s really out of control now” is to incidentally elevate all he’s done before. He’s always been this, It’s not new.

@nytimes.com your coverage of events in France is incomplete author explaining the political situation stemming from the last election cycle.

After asking the socialist to vote and coalition with him to save his government Macron is shocked they actually expected investments in society. Who could anticipate the French rioting in response to the abuses of the wealthy? Totally unforeseen.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

@nealstephenson.bsky.social I love your baroque cycle, and am really enjoying bomb-light so far, who’s historical fiction do you read. You’re making me interested in finding more.

I've started putting just a little hoisin sauce on my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

If @andyburnham.bsky.social wanted to “go bold”, as The Economist is praising him for. He could tax some rich people, and take meaningful steps on the environment.

The @nytimes.com is showing the depth of their misunderstanding of “Ai” by interviewing a Keynes-bot about how it will impact the economy. This is dumb on so many levels. Keynes flavored slop they then ran through chat gpt to clarify. I’m not evenn linking it

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today ~ Sign it! "Climate change, biodiversity loss, land and freshwater degradation, pollution, and unsustainable production and consumption are destabilizing the Earth system that supports all life." docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The alarm over the pictures from hosting Xi misses a vital point that makes it worse. Those pictures are largely from Chinese state media. With that in mind, what story do they look like they're telling?

@xbox.com if you start putting ads in your games that might be enough for me to switch to Linux

Finally saw the Odyssey, it's good to see a real movie again. I really liked it.

Yeah, we’ve noticed the quality of the updates… www.windowslatest.com/2026/09/05/m...

Just an FYI: the judge didn’t block the USPS ballot scanning rule from going into effect, she blocked them from making it mandatory. Make sure you have a back up plan to vote.

Just remember to tax the rich www.vox.com/podcasts/501...

Please repost! Drexel announced that it will close the Academy of Natural Sciences public museum- the oldest nat history museum in the US. There are 2 petitions to support the academy. Please sign both & come to our rally Tues. actionnetwork.org/petitions/pe... www.change.org/p/the-academ...

I can't see it right now. I can't see a way forward. I won't stay in the void forever, but I don't see how we survive right now. It's not even the Pedophiles making war to avoid prison, it's all the things we don't have time for because of them

The affordability crisis is quite literally destroying kids' dreams.

@reptedlieu.bsky.social Please share the video for "just go fucking vote" here so I don't have to send people to facebook to share it more.

Also, and it especially galls me that no one noticed this: WHERE ARE ALL THE FUCKING BIRDS?!

This is one of those things where the person is like: this is extreme, then says something everyone agrees with. I think we need to take *all* electronics out of school, except basic word processors etc.. (and of course anything kids need to participate, the ADA is important) All of it.

@schumer.senate.gov See, this is how you use leverage. You could have done at least something for the people if you stood on business with that CR, instead you folded for nothing. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Even if AI could 'cure cancer' that cure would be owned by the billionaires who would patent it and make it so expensive you couldn't afford it.

I for one, find this concerning. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I just learned what Arsenal fans are called and I'm beside myself.

This is why we say abolish ice. Theirs no reforming these mfers. Abolish it. Any candidate not saying abolish ice is not a serious person.

@axios.com using unnamed sources to cover that you’re proffering the Trump admin’s explanations after they got caught doing this in secret would not be responsible journalism www.axios.com/2026/08/29/c...

Slop is spreading faster than ever. It's not enough to simply shun it, if we want to keep our heads above the rising tide we must all actively promote and spread human content. If you see art you like, share it. If you need a meme, make it from human art. Thank you for your time.

@opensource.google tell your bosses shit like this is why we’re coming after you with RICO when all this is over. Your shareholders should sue you for risking their company.

In 1986, I endowed a chair at the Environmental Defense Fund for Dr Michael Oppenheimer to focus on the dangers of climate change. He along with other climate scientists and Al Gore warned the world was short on time to address its worst impacts.

100% true

@latimes.com benefiting from the family’s corruption cannot be described as avoiding the family drama in anything resembling good faith. Why are you covering for the Kushners? www.latimes.com/business/sto...

@repdean.bsky.social where are you on this. You’ve been pushing infrastructure for years, but has it been environmentally responsible?

@netflix.com HEY, leave the dead people alone! I don’t care if his estate is ok with it, I don’t want to pay you for the shop version of Gene Wilder. I’m not cancelling because of my kids, but if you start feeding them slop I will in a heartbeat. This is the moment before pitchforks.

In the midst of an awful lot of ever-so-sophisticated equivocating and oh-so-thoughtful-chin-stroking and too-clever-by-half-over-thinking, I just want to say, simply and unequivocally and for the record: The Resistance Libs Were Right.

trump regime hastening earth's demise www.nytimes.com/2026/08/29/o...

Casinos, crypto and now prediction markets. The Trump family really loves businesses where the house always wins. The President’s son is financially tied to prediction markets while lobbying state officials not to regulate them. Such open corruption exceeds anything I grew up with in Nigeria.

Just a reminder this statement was said by a sitting Congressman to the public, Trump and his DOJ offered not one pushback, denial or lawsuit.. it’s still just sitting out there
