Regular reminder that when you go to things while sick, you are giving those germs to people with autoimmune disorders, you’re passing them to someone’s newborn, to someone’s elderly parents. It’s “just a cold” to you but it can and does severely impact countless people.

bring back shame for being a huge fucking racist in public

Nobody ever has to pay attention to Matt Yglesias. PERIOD.

Ah, NYC radiator season is upon us. When the steam pipes start blasting heat and it makes absolutely no difference how tightly you close them. The apartment is a sauna. Our kid woke us up at 2:30 am because he was so hot he’d had a nightmare that he was trapped in a burning building. 🥵

I think it’s massively important for Dems to pass bill after bill. Voters need to see republicans will never help them. What better way to show that than seeing Trump veto healthcare improvements, child tax credit, heating assistance, etc? Rs could vote to override a veto, if they choose. Force it.

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

Yesterday, Brazil and Serbia secured major wins for democracy. In 8 days, it’s our turn. #NoKings ❌👑

We believe everyone deserves to be treated with compassion and respect. That includes intersex and trans+ people, and anyone who lives 'outside the box' of gender norms. 💛💜 This Intersex Awareness Day, we celebrate the diversity of human bodies and stand up for everyone's right to be themselves.

An under appreciated aspect of the sports bans will be their impact on AFAB intersex athletes. Rough weather ahead for the Semenyas of the world.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Even if Schumer's reasoning is correct, which is dubious (Hillary lost PA in 2016), it sucks to give up on whole swaths of the country. Run every race. Fight for every voter. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I need bluesky to stop showing me crummy AI images from people I don't even follow

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Thank you, ladies.

Breaking news: Maybe I actually like mezcal?!

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Oh so a country *can* choose not to make the same mistake twice

With 83% of the vote counted nationwide, Lula has stretched his lead to 2.8 million votes. That's a lead of 51.4% to 48.6%. That puts him on track for a victory that could be larger than his 1.8% win four years ago, which would be an immense comeback. He's even up in Minas Gervais now, by 0.6%.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia’s strongman leader Aleksandar Vucic has conceded defeat to a student-led movement in a seismic political shift.

Did I just witness a runway excursion on a livestream from Birmingham Airport? Why yes, I did. #AvGeek

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

The lyrics the toddler composes to her endless original songs are reflections of her little life, snippets of emotions and pastimes that matter to her most. Consider the following: "I love you, Mama and Dada/ You're my best friends/ Like and subscribe the channel"

no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are

we have to think so much less about finding the right candidates and so much more about building political power that makes individual candidates simple stewards of the will of the bases they are accountable to
