It's in the fucking name! Right there! And they're shaped like kernels!!! It's too obvious. Whoever didn't know sounds like an outlier. They must be. Right? ...right?

Apparently our American cousins make little sweets that look like corn, and are now learning that they look like corn. I shit you not. We used to wonder how they let a felon become president... 😑 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_c...

That was a controlled ball until he hit the ground. Both feet touched in bounds. What is wrong with New York? How was that anything but a complete pass? This is egregiously bad. This is throwing the game. I have never seen a call so obviously wrong in years. #49ers #nfl

why the fuck am I seeing photographs of Joanne Killjoy Rowling on my timeline? On what universe is this necessary to share?

They’ll counter with “oh it’ll just be cheek swabs” but it WON’T because dna tests are expensive and slow and some asshole will demand proof at a game and so some coach or nurse will tell the child to undress and IF NOTHING ELSE teaching kids to undress because some adult said to is EVIL AS SHIT

I was sexually abused as a child. I'm not the only person I know who can say that. If I'd been forced to let ANYONE perform that sort of examination in order to play sports, a thing children need for health--both physical and mental? I am not unique. Vote no on unnecessarily traumatizing our kids.

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

We, Jews and Palestinians, will keep showing up for each other, protecting the harvest and refusing to let settler terror decide who gets to stay on their land.

Happening now: Barbara Gaffin, a Friend of Standing Together from Boston, was detained by Israeli police after joining around 80 other activists near Nahalin, west of Bethlehem, to provide a peaceful protective presence for Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest.

I've spent the last few weeks attempting to figure out what the hell is going on in WV, where a tiny grove of American chestnut trees is facing off against an AI data center. it's a complex and fascinating situation: www.404media.co/west-virgini...

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

The Eagles/Panthers game is thr only game we get this morning. It's not entertaining to see so many injuries and flags and bad blocks. This is not good football. This is a train wreck. And all of that before even halfway through the second quarter. What are we doing here?

Went to Commander night at the local game store and pulled out my Xenk, Paladin Unbroken deck. PLAYER: I love him! Have you played Baldur’s Gate 3? ME: ME: Funny you should mention that…

When I was in high school, every classmate's mother had a horror story about an alley or a secret clinic somewhere, blood and terror and sometimes women dying in the effort to control their own futures. Abortion saves lives.

Courtney Milan@courtneymilan.com

The reason abortion is popular right now is that roughly three generations of women have had access to it and we all know someone (possibly ourselves) whose life has been saved by it.

Josh Hawley staffer and political operative Tommy: You are supposedly a Christian. Have you disavowed Christian domestic terrorists like Timothy McVeigh, The Aryan Nation, the KKK, Eric Robert Rudolph, and Dylann Roof, etc., etc., etc.? If not, what are YOUR allegiances?

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Holy moly did Aaron Sorkin write this or is this real life?? Treat yourself and watch the whole thing. I want to watch these kinds of interactions for the next 6 years on the national stage. We've got to do our part to help get Abdul to the Senate.

We have no explanation for why we were locked out for 4 hours today. We will be seeking answers. And we will be organizing for more than answers.

Update: WE ARE BACK IN! We can post again. This was utter bullshit on the biggest early vote effort in history. But it will not stop what we're building. No Kings means no kings in the White House or in Silicon Valley.

Ezra Levin ❌👑@ezralevin.bsky.social

Update: about 4 hours later and we still don't have admin access so we still can't post to the No Kings instagram account. This isn't slowing down the the 3,000+ early vote events today. We will drive the biggest early vote in history. But this should be a flashing alarm about what's to come.

Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.

No Kings. No Courtiers. No Oligarchs.

Meta has suddenly suspended the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of the No Kings' national day of action. This shocking censorship comes just weeks before the midterm election.

I am very much of the same opinion. Bland "I want it to sell" nonsense is boring. Weirdos make the good shit.

Gory Thing@korybing.bsky.social

The thing that draws me to furries and zinesters and weird horror and alternative lifestyles all have the same common thread: PASSION. I’m passionate for passion. Go weird or go home. Find out what you like and do it on purpose with the most enthusiasm possible. I love it!!!!

Ballot received. Filled it out and deposited it in the drop box in under 2 hours. Done. At least until I go check online and make sure it was accepted in a couple of days. Not leaving any room for shenanigans where I can help it.

Please pause your scroll for this spectacular weevil. You're looking at one of the first two iNaturalist records of Systaltocerus platyrhinus, shared just in the last month!
