“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy.... Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” — Dr. Gustave Gilbert, U.S. Military Chief Psychologist in the Nuremberg Trials, Nuremberg Diary

Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

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

Reporter Jason Collins chatted with Games Done Quick organizers and runners to learn what makes GD Queer so special: "Every time donations crossed a $1,000 milestone that first weekend, the stream flooded with the same two words: I'm gay."

Shocked this country famous for lynchings, strangling Black men on the street, kidnapping and killing foreign leaders & arming genocides everywhere is doing a public execution by gunfire. This is NOT the American way.

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

Women trying to succeed in Silicon Valley AI and effective altruist spaces are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend sex parties - where people have reported being sexually assaulted, like below. Events like Aella’s “Slutcon,” which is happening again this weekend.

Alex Driggars at the Austin Statesman tweeted a photo of the traffic camera at the intersection of today's ICE shooting in Austin. Just went and checked, and this is from 4 minutes ago. Crowd not leaving.

power-bottom domination + transitioning = wanging chung

What’s on our wishlist? Ban on autonomous weapons Defund all state use of AI for high impact decision making Algorithmic transparency legislation Taxing GenAI companies to oblivion What do we want?

People who say Bethany Mandel can't be forgiven because they fingerblasted a muppet are the same people who simp for these folks.

Team Blue No Matter Who is going to have their work cut out for them because I for one refuse to entertain voting for or even saying nice things about someone who wants to compromise on trans rights. Like get the fuck away from me.

You know, honestly, more than monetary donations, if somebody worked at a company that had access to a lot of 18 terabyte and larger hard drives and could talk to us, that's where we are really suffering. The internet archive has no special priority in buying hard drives and those things are insane.

Age verification makes everyone less safe. Age verification makes everyone less safe. Age verification makes everyone less safe. Age verification makes everyone less safe. Age verification makes everyone less safe. Age verification makes everyone less safe.

NEW: ICE agents demanded that REI turn over the names of "all persons" who bought a green beanie from the outdoor retailer over the past two years as part of their probe of protesters who entered a St. Paul church in March. @regret.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-wa...

A man and woman embrace as ICE and FHP detain her during an immigration stop in Fort Myers this morning.

Why be sad when you can just get a Hot Dog Butterfly tattoo instead?

This only "becomes a political and moral crisis" if reactionary centrists relentlessly frame it as one. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

this is the stupidest shit i've seen on bluesky.

New Hampshire has their primary in two weeks & with it comes the last chance to oust a Trump-friendly Dem from Congress. Chris Pappas is running for Senate (w/ the endorsement of retiring Senator, and Trumpist Dem, Jeanne Shaheen) & Maggie Goodlander is running for another term in the House.

i saw a tiktok about how mewing in childhood is a sign of big dick energy and i can't stop thinking about it

When you think of it, identity politics is ableist and harmful bullshit which never should have been invented and any proper Trotskyist movement should seek to abolish it.

I think an underappreciated aspect of why so many people hate AI is that the people who boost it are, almost without exception, such insufferably garbage human beings.

Really putting Decart in front of the horse here

Did moderates get the night they wanted

Telling people with ADHD that they would be better if they just spent more of their time buying and preparing a food is just like…extra forms of “so it’s YOUR fault.”

There's a critical medical blood shortage currently (especially of type O, which some places have less than a day's supply of). All blood types are currently needed to stabilize the supply, if you're able to give today or tomorrow, you will be directly saving lives! www.redcross.org/give-blood.h...

Amy Klobuchar’s eulogy for Lindsey Graham was 390 words long. This was 390 more words than she has said in support of trans people

The USMNT’s success is primarily used as propaganda by a fascist state, and most of the players either do not mind or enjoy it.

This is literally why there's a bipartisan effort to remove internet access from young people. It's an attack on queer people, leftists, and anyone who questions authority. They don't want our children finding out that MLK and Frida Kahlo were socialists or that Stonewall was a riot.

At least 104 Democrats vote yea to pass HR 7757. The bill passes 267-117. It now moves to the Senate, which is out until July 13th. Will post the roll call of who voted what way once it is uploaded.

It's people who want to govern, and the centrists who want to play student council.

One student noted that grade inflation is so pervasive that ethics policies around cheating have become hollow. This student said the only real guidance they felt they have about AI use is their own moral compass. They feel abandoned. 13/

I cannot remember the last time I was caught outside in a rainstorm. Truly a different world in the desert (audio on for wonderful raindrops)

democratic governors doing stuff like this is worse for voter turnout than anything the american left has said or done

Did you see this??? An entire 50 PERCENT of Democratic voters under 30 want the party to MOVE TO THE LEFT on transgender issues. Comparing with other issues polled, it's second only to healthcare as an issue younger voters want to see the party move left on.
