this is something Dems can just hammer on for the next two years televised hearings every week about Epstein, Epstein, Epstein make the drumbeat so loud the media doesn’t have a choice in covering it

“I have more money than god and decided to use AI to do something it learned how to do by stealing the skills crafted by human beings who used to be paid to do that work. I hope people will give me more money to watch that creative theft before deciding how they feel about it.”

Do you like my pumpkin?

Many comments on the great election victories in Brazil and Serbia state that the authorian right is in decline or that voters have rejected far-right authoritarianism. That is a wrong interpretation of what happened. Progressive movements mobilized and beat the authoritarian right. That's different

during the 2023 WGA strike. a real one.

Had a conversation at work about the problems and future of the American Theater. When I mentioned how theaters need to embrace more digital offerings I got silent stares. Just say you think the “purity” of the live experience matters more than disabled people and expanding beyond local audiences.

This thread is rad, love learning about cool creatures

The amount of bullshit I deal with on transit varies so drastically between cane and no-cane days. (And even with a cane I still get some “but you’re young!” stuff.)

Was not prepared for the final step of this careful process

I’ve straight up had people try to correct me for using a couple of these correctly.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Probably a good time to remember that the actual MAHA goal is to make America healthy by killing all the ‘unhealthy’ people.

Would it though? Also, if people start “actively dying” from this bird flu it is already too late. The phrase itself suggests deaths will be written off as ‘due to comorbities.’ Because that’s been the playbook.

Trying to feel out the effects of a new medication while also working 24 days in a row is… tricky.

Even I fall into the vengeance angle. It's true, these shithead goblin billionaires are the same people who made their wealth from corruption with this regime, but ultimately it's about our communities, not the billionaires. This piece is important to remind you that even it isn't enough.

"Nobody trying to stop billionaires from being taxed has proposed anything to save MLKCH or any other lifeline hospital serving millions of poor people." I think the discourse around Prop 40 has lost the point that if we don't pass it our community hospitals are totally and utterly fucked.

i hate having to talk to the computer like its a person instead of sand we forced to do math using lightning

rainy days are my favorite, I do best with gray skies and cold. the fact that the air pressure changes around such weather now fuck with my body—in both directions—feels like a cruel joke.

Prompted by me starting to do the math of how much more I'd have to earn a year for it to actually cover the increase in healthcare costs from losing medicaid. It's a lot more.

To state the obvious, we need universal healthcare yesterday.

From the Spring - this is a bunch of animals wandering down our driveway that runs down the length of the backyard. We don't use it a lot, as you can see. #wildanimals #mammals #zen #fun #cats #cool #mountains #Washington #voteblue #eastcoastkin

PUT AWAY YOUR BLOWGUN, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE DEHYDRATION. AND YOU WILL WIN.

Between this kind of thing and Flock refusing to take cameras down, it is increasingly laughable that my city council still insists that with *us* Flock will definitely follow all the rules and definitely not allow anyone else to access the data.

If you have some spare money for my friend Titus please consider helping him. He's a comrade, trying to avoid losing his home, while suffering from long covid and parkinson's. And if you don't you should follow him you should, he's got the best memes around. His links are in his bio.

your whales must be seen before they can be killed

Arts friends, this is relevant for us as well!

Got to say it's one thing when dems turn on trans people. Its another when they literally laugh at us while doing it.

Asking my followers to please, take a minute out of your day and drop a public comment at the link that supports continuing to count Long Covid and ME in this survey. This is vital to people like me. Please help!

Highly recommend taking a moment to zoom in so this cotton ball fills your entire screen.

the fact that my new medication carries the “risk” of raising BP is awesome. my low-bp POTS body is digging it.

“In its urgency and survival rate, it is closer to appendicitis than to most cancers. The treatment pathway is well understood. Joelle needed treatment immediately. A delay of 16 days was impossible to survive and cost her her life.”

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest
