We are sad to learn that actor Tom Skerritt has passed away at 93. The Emmy-winning actor made his mark on the horror genre as Dallas in the original ALIEN back in 1979, and he also starred in The Dead Zone, Poltergeist III, and 2008's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Rest in Peace.

Christ, his voice ....

GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

There's no doubt that @aoc.bsky.social has changed the trajectory of American politics. Grateful to have her with us on the ground across Michigan to strengthen our movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

I’m sorry, but there’s just no affirmative case for this company to exist. I get it, groups have used and still use Facebook to organize, etc, but the inherent terribleness of this organization necessitates closing it down completely.

Over the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.

Acton hits back. (Personally I think this ad could be much sharper, but glad they're not letting this issue go.)

There have probably been better ones but as a decades long Kobe hater this one really hit it out of the park

It's not *shooting* the threes that's the problem, it's that they stop running the same offense that gets them the *good* threes for the first 3 quarters. All the great ball movement and slashing drives just disappear and it kills their rhythm/cohesion on both sides of the ball.

Celtics have not changed. Had a big lead and kept shooting 3's that stopped dropping.

There should be some kind of calculator where whenever a billionaire donates some amount of money, you can quickly what percentage that is of their net worth, apply it to your own net worth and see how much of a sacrifice it actually is

That Vivek Ramaswamy ad might end up being the worst own goal we've seen in a major race. Platforming the estranged mother of your opponent to attack her, only for everyone to discover that the mother protected the rapist of her 12-year-old daughter and stayed married to him, is beyond despicable.

A theme running through the progressive dems running this year is just going to voters and talking to them instead of listening to the consultants and focus groups who say they need to spend all their time peeling off disaffected republicans

Leaked audio: Mike Rogers blocked the unredacted Epstein files to "protect" Epstein's friends "You have to protect somebody who got on an airplane and rode with him... The court of public opinion would ruin their life for no reason... You don't want to hurt that person's career or reputation"

One of my favorite sci-fi shows of the decade—of the century!—is celebrating its third anniversary today. Scavengers Reign was a shooting star🌠, poorly supported by HBO Max and then Netflix (as it was only available in a handful of countries), but I'm so glad this one season exists.

I personally think it's entertaining that if you wrote this out people would think it's an overindulgent scene from an Aaron Sorkin piece but it's just a real thing that happened

Recognizing a bad faith plant in a town hall and politely but firmly gutting their gotcha like a fish is an underrated campaign skill.

The thing about being a Republican is that not only is bigotry your only go-to but it’s also fucking repetitive and boring. I know it is moral rot most of all but it’s so rote to spend the last 7-plus decade saying “im white, im scared of the different” over and over. Get a hobby assholes.

it is the same exact thing as demanding that black candidates for office “disavow farrakhan,” which happened quite a bit in the 90s and 2000s

James Goodwin@jamesgoodwin.bsky.social

El-Sayed is going to forced to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood at least a dozen times more before the midterms. The point is clearly not the answer. The point is the question. It's basically push-polling.

Every report should act like this. Every time. Fuck these people.

our immigration “debate” has become a pandering contest between the two political parties to win the votes of racist assholes that see immigrants as an invasive species instead of people coming to us for help

Raffi Melkonian@rmfifthcircuit.bsky.social

I know I'm a broken record on this, but one part of what is going on is that people have literally no idea what the US immigration system actually is; effectively, that there are no pathways into the country legally for someone who wants to wait in line.

I'm begging @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social to run against Musk. He's an unpopular and creepy white nationalist asshole billionaire whose approval rating in most polls is 20 points underwater. You can mock Paxton for needing to be bailed out *and* mock the puppet master pulling his strings.

When an elevator broke down at Cleveland Elementary in D.C., staff mobilized colleagues to carry an ESL teacher, who uses a wheelchair, up and down the stairs so she could reach her students. The improvised accommodation went on for weeks.
