I know it's Fox but it is crazy she doesn't ask him a single follow up on this at all, he tees it up so well for just like any mention of why the Straight is closed in the first place

the thing about the institutional apparatus of the dems is that it’s the biggest collection of losers we’ve seen in my lifetime. despite 2 governing trifectas in the last 18 years and the presidency for 12, they’ve overseen the return of segregationists and the end of bodily autonomy for women

People who think Democrats are too woke and radical now control all three branches of government, the institutional apparatus of the Democratic Party and all major media outlets. Stop fucking congratulating each other for saying it!

Harris wouldn’t be doing the same overt fascist immigration policy that Trump is obviously but she would have done next to nothing to change or dismantle the structures that would enable the next GOP president to do it

This is a WILD list of data to disappear. I was braced for climate stuff, but not, like, shoreline maps and coastal bathymetry

Obviously things have got dramatically worse in the US recently, and I don't want to diminish that, but I've been at *so many* conferences in the UK on topics like empire, humanitarianism and development where multiple speakers from the Global South have been denied visas or held at the border

Dr. Jessica M. DeWitt@jessicamdewitt.bsky.social

I just attended a conference in the US. We had one speaker detained and two others turned away at the border.

Has anyone ever asked the horseshoe theory centrists about why they think the extreme left and right have completely opposing views of Israel. Someone should ask Stancil about that next time he starts whining about people being mean to him online

I don't really care if people listen to recent Chapo episodes before saying dumb "critiques" of them, but I do think they should listen to a season of Movie Mindset before saying dumb shit about them.

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

Any one of the "11,000 global members with diverse viewpoints" who cannot condemn the physical assault of a filmmaker does not belong in the Academy. This is a woefully insufficient response, literally worse than silence.

AMPAS has issued a new statement that basically says: “we will continue to say nothing.” they don’t even bother mentioning Hamdan Ballal — an Oscar winner!!! — by name.

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently. I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

🚨I converted the list of terminated #NIH grants (as of 3/22) into a google sheet. I added activity codes and award jurisdictions (see tabs for grant count and $ by each). Note this HHS list likely does not include all planned/completed terminations as of this date.🚨 Please use, share and distribute!

The list of terminated NIH grants is growing. Now 14 pages (was 6 pages last week).

Replying to @judysquirrels.bsky.social

the dems keep running on morals despite not really having any and that’s one of the reasons why they’re so vulnerable to the right—their only stance is being more reasonable and tolerant on the surface but there’s nothing underneath. they don’t have a real plan and haven’t since obama.

From this to the guy who said he didn't regret voting for Trump despite his wife getting arrested by ICE, I truly do not think there is any saving these people.

How firm is the hold of antivax beliefs? From the parents of the 6 year old unvaccinated child who died of measles: “Don’t do the shots,” the girl’s mother said. Measles, she added, is “not as bad as they’re making it out to be.” She noted that her four other children all recovered…

The public breaks that needed to happen—Kamala from Biden and Walz from his own running mate—had no chance of happening because this party only produces good company men and women. The original appeal of Trump was his willingness to break with orthodoxy and humiliate and denigrate other Republicans

they’re arresting people for performing abortions, they’re deporting people for liking pro-palestine posts on social media, they’re sending immigrants to forced labor camps in south america, we are living under fascism right now

Texans have the craziest secondary in the league

ESPN@espn.com

Texans All-Pro CB Derek Stingley Jr has agreed to a three-year, $90M extension including $89M guaranteed, sources told Adam Schefter. At $30M base value per year, Stingley is now the highest paid defensive back in NFL history. The CB market has been completely reset.

I need the Tapbots Bluesky app bad cause the shitty 1st party app constantly has to reload if it’s in the background when another app uses 1 byte too much and you lose your place in your feed

DHS said she was a terrorist sympathizer and “involved in activities supporting Hamas, a terrorist organization." Revoked visa, but offered no evidence. Social media was pro-Gaza, but she said she did not attend any protest. Offered no due process.

Days after federal immigration agents showed up to Ranjani Srinivasan’s apartment – prompting her to leave the country out of fear she would be taken into custody – the student is disputing the Trump administration’s account of her story.
