Wait...WHAT?! Lead really did a number on this generation.

So lies, corruption, bigotry misogyny, rape, pedophilia, murder, plagues and Constitutional crises are okay but a Cheesecake Factory joke is conduct unbecoming of a former president. Got it.

Bad news: Fender Musical Instruments is laying off over 500 employees at its American factory. The company has struggled in the wake of the pandemic and a Trump trade war that's rattled inflation and supply chains.

the blue wave resister accounts that share AI slop about local law enforcement arresting ICE want you to believe policing will solve all your problems when in fact policing is the problem. CPD, IDF, KKK, ICE etc etc want you in cages.

There's a persistent cliche that bluesky 'doesn't like AI' but if you go by sheer interaction volume, bsky LOVES AI and it's concentrated among these weird, gross pseudo-left accounts in the US Here's a direct link to the account so you can block them bsky.app/profile/mary...

I hate the disingenuous framing of marginalized people who are not sanguine at the prospect of being crushed underfoot by a Democratic Party that has shown repeatedly that it will jettison any pretense of protecting the welfare of the vulnerable as “privileged”

The Truth ⚖️ 🐝@pattykazusa.bsky.social

Just another chaos agent trying to convince you that your candidate has to be perfect for you to support democrats during this seriously dangerous time. Only listen to these people if you’re privileged and selfish enough to not care how other people are affected by your silent complicity.

my biggest takeaway from teaching is that this country hates children.

Ruth Zakarin@ruthz.bsky.social

This week saw a mass shooting at an elementary school, law enforcement declaring the shooting death of a one year old justified, and the leader of our country attacking a survivor of childhood sexual assault. This country is not a safe place for children.

Ilhan Omar
@ilhanmn.bsky.social

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

Happy National Tavern Style Pizza Day. Celebrate by eating entirely too many pieces because the slices are small and your brain can’t comprehend the actual total amount of pizza that you’re actually consuming. #chicago

It really knocks you on your ass when you realize the problem is that the fascists are largely made up of a bunch of grown men in arrested development who spend their adult lives playing pretend and making everyone miserable as they LARP through the world.

I've never had a more difficult time navigating my way around Apple and Adobe products in over 30 years of working with them. AI can eat my ass.

I still have not seen the movie and I'm very uncertain if I ever will, but this gets right to the heart of why I have such a bad feeling about it

Dan O’Sullivan@osullyville.bsky.social

I do feel like I'm going a little crazy & that Elizabeth Holmes succeeded in bending that documentary to her aims, and the subsequent reaction to it. Best case scenario she is actually insane. Worst case scenario is significantly more sinister. Either way I think, as I get distance from it, she won

America Next 🙄

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.
