Have watched others take this course and been jealous of them. I finally took the plunge and signed up this morning. There is a sliding fee scale (see thread). So, if you're unemployed (like me!) or just having a hard time financially, maybe you can still find a way to jump in.
Friends! Can I ask you a favour? My 🐦 + 📊 course starts next week. I'm super excited but registration is worryingly low. Can you share this with your weirdo nature + art + code friends? jerthorp.me/learning

Bari Weiss not beating the bootlicking propagandist allegations here:
"The bigger problem, Lulu, frankly, is not any kind of political influence. The problem was the incompetence.." Scott Pelley talked to @lulugn.bsky.social about "the Bari Weiss era and his last days at 60 Minutes:" www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m...

Just FYI there’s an account on here called @redditspaceviewes.bsky.social (with over 200k followers) that is posting a bunch of AI slop (including a “Saturn polar hexagon” with 8 sides) and claiming it’s NASA imagery. If you see anything posted by them, it’s likely fake.

This photo was taken one block from my house. I hate this, and I won’t stop hating it. A frequent comment is that the troops are just standing around shooting the shit, playing on their phones. But they’ll also openly act hostile and contemptuous towards the people they’re supposedly protecting.
Periodic reminder: D.C. remains patrolled all over the city by armed members of the National Guard deployed to do so by President Trump.

do not look away from this. this is still ethnic cleansing. this is still fascism. This is not about immigration law or law enforcement. This is the power fantasies of every fucking CHUD too shitty to get a job as a mall cop.
Minnesotans are back out in serious numbers because of the drawdown you think actually happened.

Kansas is a largely rural prairie state. Its nearly impossible to live in much of the state without driving. Taking away people's ability to drive on short notice without any individual wrongdoing is malicious, and it will cause further criminalization of people who can't respond fast enough.
1. Numerous transgender people in Kansas are reporting that the state has sent them a letter demanding the immediate surrender of drivers licenses. Those driving could be arrested, charged, and see privileges revoked. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance says the Trump administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns.

Enough of this bullshit. Go to iceout.org and see: THEY ARE NOT GONE. THEY ARE STILL HERE. They changed tactics, but they are still here.
Minnesota defeating ICE reflects the best of what we know about repression politics. But there’s a dark lining to those insights www.un-diplomatic.com/p/the-politi...

Minnesota understood the assignment. Minnesota acted. Minnesota fights for your freedom. They will come for you next. HAVE OUR BACKS, USA.
It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

I am biased but I don’t think there is a better website on the internet today than TheOnion.com.
Hey NC friends, I've recently gotten involved in a new project called the Triangle Central Kitchen, a social enterprise fighting hunger and food waste, and we are launching on Sept 24 at Namu in Durham.

Why did NC State Auditor Dave Boliek wait three weeks - eg. only after @wral.bsky.social broke the story publicly - to ask the Republican Surry County elections board chair to resign? This guy was caught (on video!) trying to drug his granddaughters on August 8th. 🤔🤔🤔🤔 www.wral.com/news/local/s...
