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'

Please remember that Congress can’t indict people.

Interesting thread.

A feel good action. This meme is making the rounds. If you see it ANYWHERE (big on FB right now), comment with this text: Stop spreading disinformation. Delete your post. www.snopes.com/fact-check/p... Then report the post for disinfo.

People need to know the horrible things he did. Including posting his Jewish coworkers address and a photo of his *baby*. Holy shit this guy is an evil p.o.s. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/07/u...

NO ON PROP 43 - This measure raises the margin to two thirds for citizen tax initiatives, meaning a super-minority of voters can veto transit investment from local government - like the Bay Area’s Measure RTM. Passage would make it hard to fix fiscal cliffs at Metrolink, NCTD, MTS, and others.

Ukraine did real damage in hitting Yandex’s data centers, but it probably didn’t send troll traffic to “near zero.” www.theverge.com/tech/1009594...

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

I’ve seen Shakespeare performed in a bar. Why not scientific lectures? @plantdokta.bsky.social

Already debunked!

It's Artificial Intelligence. It's Twitter. It's the Gulf of Mexico. It's Lake Ontario. It's the Department of Defense. It's the Kennedy Center.

Just did some number crunching using latest (Oct 1) ECMWF seasonal data, and I must say that I've never seen such high predictive confidence in a very wet California winter. This is a truly extraordinary forecast amid a record-strength El Niño event. [Thread: please read to end.]

Drazan voted against the bill to rein in data centers…Kotek signed the bill. Watch what they do and how they respond to Oregonians!

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

This Congress, I am proud to say that I have passed four bills through the House. Not because I compromise my values, not because the legislation is a “gimme,” But because I show up every day and work hard for our community.

More on Prop 39, the little brother of DJT's so-called Save Act: Some CA voters are falling for the propaganda put out by billionaires. 😱 A ❌NO on 39 is a must to stop DJT's voter suppression agenda which adds costly, unnecessary barriers that could block eligible CA voters. 🗣️Talk to friends! 8/10

Atta Babe, Krukow! We‘ll miss you. #AttaBabe #AttaBabeKruk #SFGiants

Please don't overreact to the SCOTUS SAVE database decision today Page 6 of the decision makes clear that we are in the 90 day statutory window when mass changes cannot be made to voter lists! Yeah it's a shit decision for the reasons the 3 dissenters say but we can deal with it. More to come...

🧵 IN THE WINTER OF 2022, a few months after ChatGPT began to scramble everything, I was part of a small group of staffers who met with Sam Altman at the White House. A few reflections on that meeting, and what it tells us about this most recent hype/panic cycle 🧵🧵🧵

1/ A Colorado woman's credit score dropped 85 points over a $240K debt that wasn't even hers. She proved it. The credit bureaus still wouldn't fix it. Why? Because the federal watchdog that used to force them to is being quietly dismantled from the inside #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

I'm sorry, what? Shakespeare didn't write the play in Olde English. And Shakespeare didn't set the play in a time or place where the characters would've spoken Olde English. Eggers is free to make his choice, but how does this show "meticulous attention to detail"? It shows the opposite?

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

Greenland will remain part of Denmark under a planned US-Denmark-Greenland security deal, despite Trump claiming the US secured “permanent control.” The pact preserves access & rights US already held since 1951. Denmark retains sovereignty and Danish & Greenlandic parliament still need to approve.

I was wondering today, when ICE didn’t immediately come out with their usual statement…”the ICE agent shot in self-defense in-fear of his life”. But as the day went on, I realized that Eye witnesses are noting he was SHOT IN THE BACK! Next-the reason for shooting into a crowded intersection? 

Hey, Jews who fast on YK!! Go drink a glass of water. Go on! NU? Did you drink? Drink more! Go!

Do you know when the first #water war was? Or why Machiavelli and Leonardo conspired to divert a river? Or how many times the LA Aqueduct was dynamited by angry farmers? These are some of the stories I tell in my new book, "When the Well is Dry." Pre-order now! thenewpress.org/books/when-t...

Plenty of other reasons to hate AI: It's making people stupider. The Trump/Musk slop art. It's destroying journalism. It's environmentally damaging. The attempts to force it on us are part of a larger anti-democracy project. But deadly robot armies ain't it.
