I've been on dating apps a few times over the last year or so and I just realized that the red pill incel community is crying that they can't get dates when 9 out of 10 women on my feed are "Conservative Christians". Apparently they don't want to date each other either. 🤔

My kiddo was playing a clever geometry dash level reminiscent of Katamari Damacy, inspired me to build Dust Bunny: dustbunny.curiouslycory.com Browser based, free to play, and early alpha (i.e. expect significant changes as I play-test, balance, and refine). AI was used, if that matters to you.

The reason the anti-abortion conservatives needed (and I mean NEEDED) to get rid of the "risk to life and health" exception to anti-abortion laws was that EVERY PREGNANCY risks life and health. Every. One.

I’m going to start calling it Super Intelligence right after I start calling twitter “X.”

A financial disclosure revealed HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. received two $2 million book advances in office, plus free flights and a vacation home from a friend. Ethics experts say the payments may violate a ban on supplementing his salary—a petition calls on Congress to investigate.

The Bureau of Land Management is weighing at least 12 data center proposals covering 17,600 acres of public land across six states—land the public owns. The plans aren’t posted for public comment, and some local officials say they didn’t even know the deliberations were happening.

Dear restaurants everywhere. Arugula is not a lettuce and does not satisfy the L in BLT. I don't know who started this trend but if I sincerely wished you the day you deserved and you immediately fell off a tall ladder I wouldn't be surprised.

A true hero 💔👇

How can Disney/Marvel fuck up Ironheart so bad and then produce a show like Wonder Man? I'm only 6 episodes in, so forgive me if it goes spectacularly downhill, but so far? Wow.

Happy Catturday!

The odds that we'll see 2 degrees C of warming NEXT YEAR are getting uncomfortably high. The combination of accelerating global warming and Super El Nino is set to shatter temperature records. Should be dominating headlines. Of course it won't. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The CTO referred to Claude as "he" today, "he had a great suggestion...". Claude will work 24/7 and virtually never says "no", the c-suite's wet dream.

Revenge bedtime procrastination isn't my revenge on bedtime, it's bedtime's revenge on me.

ICE is quietly arresting more people than ever. After months of releasing no detention data at all, the new numbers show a record 1,474 arrests a day in early July, the highest daily pace of the entire Trump administration. 🧵 austinkocher.substack.com/p/ice-quietl...

This is what DOGE was always about. This and every other illegal bullshit way they can use our data.

Kicking myself for not saying, "they didn't hate machines, they hated THE machine", because I'm easily amused.

Genocide. What he's talking about is genocide. Saying the quiet part out loud because they have confidence that no one will stop them and there won't be repercussions. We need to prove them wrong on that.

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

Huge turnout tonight for a protest over ICE killing Lorenzo Salgado Araujo on Tuesday Magnolia Park, Houston. Video is from my colleague Macy Meinhardt, who is not on Bluesky but is on the scene.

Driving in Oregon is like being gas lit. The other drivers are so slow that I feel like I'm crazy and must be missing these secret speed limit signs that everybody else sees but me.

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

U.S. Congress, hello! Imagine how much everyone on earth will love you if you impeach and remove Donald Trump, starting now! The answer is: A Lot! Soccer fans, sane people, kindergartners! Climatologists and university professors, scientists, LGBTQ+ people and their friends. Pretty much everyone.

i was already boycotting microsoft because they are on the BDS list, but this makes me wish i could double boycott them.

Rewatching Star Trek DS9 today and just happened to land on season 3's Past Tense, which was apparently set in 2024. The episode is about social unrest being inflamed by a techbro billionaire who was getting help from the future, and suddenly Elon makes a lot more sense.

The AC is out at ICE's detention facility in Newark, where it currently feels like 107 degrees. Detainees say not even the ventilation is working, and that the water is dirty. Health inspectors recently tried to inspect the facility. They were turned away. www.nj.com/politics/202...

People keep talking about stacking the court with liberal justices as if that solves the problem. So long as there can exist such a thing as a liberal or conservative justice, we don't have justice, and we'll just end up with the same problem later on.

The House has passed KOSA. It now heads to the Senate, where this version, at least, faces an uphill battle. That said, get on the horn and call your legislators. NOW.

Every time I see one of those, "lions not sheep", stickers I can't help but wonder why people are still bragging about being or raising predators.

Why are people who claim to be part of the silent majority always so loud?

Okay so hear me out, at first I was thinking Kraven the Hunter should have been played by Matthew McConaughey, but what would really make it work would be having him played by Owen Wilson. You're welcome.

It should be a no-brainer:  No stock trading for members of Congress, the vice president, or the president. No billionaires buying elections through super PACs. The government should work for the American people—not wealthy donors and corporate interests.

They seem to think we are blind, deaf and dumb.

A group of losers in my city decided to set up on a corner today and put up signs saying June is for Jesus not pride. According to the Bible, Jesus was constantly preaching about love and never once mentioned homosexuality.

😅 love this

Prison labor was already a problem. This is worse. There is no justification for slave labor.
