Ukrainian drones that lost connectivity several months ago crashed and detonated less than a mile from my son's apartment in Finland. These are bombs. They're carefully aimed and controlled. Cutting off their controller means they drift until they crash on WHATEVER.

This is so revolting and disappointing. And a perfect example of people who demand equity right until they get through the door, then they slam it behind them.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

You are singlehandedly funding the candidate who tried to take away my kid and forcibly DEtransition him, causing us (and his doctors) to have to flee Texas. Pure evil. Every accusation, as outrageous and false as it is of the left, is literally a confession of what the right has already done.

Are there still people left that think that calling someone a particular character from Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice" is not antisemitic? Trump knows this as of last year when the press dragged him for saying it: he claimed he didn't know. So now that he very famously knows, did he forget?

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT

The Original Sin of politics was the invention of the passive voice, when Adam and Eve ate of the Tree of Vague Unaccountability. Wild how all those violent ICE agents just … got hired … and deployed … somehow. Who can possibly say how? It’s all a mystery.

The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

Some things are incurable. Get it through your heads that science is fantastic, but sometimes people are sick and will remain so

TFW your therapist stops themself mid-enthusiastic -deep-conversation and says, "I'm sorry, it's too easy for me to get lost in philosphy when I'm with a smart patient and we need to focus on your own life!" Oh, thank god, the person I routinely sound like a mess in front of still thinks I'm smart.

It took me a second to figure out why it was Dolly Day because that is not, in fact, how dates are written here, but for today it IS, because I'll work "to five, nine" for Dolly.

60 years ago #StarTrek The Original Series Premiered on NBC

JFC @ansonmount.bsky.social is a freaking spectacular actor 😲😭😭😭😭😭

So, after Tarrant went blue, shocking everyone, Texas cut nearly a third of their polling places.

I'm guessing that this is because FOX is trying to settle that second lawsuit, and firing Bartiromo is a condition the plaintiff asked for - and I guess she'll have a job with the Trump administration by Monday. Probably overseeing the ATF or heading up NOAA or something equally ridiculous.

This is the kind of unity I LOVE to see! Where the goal is bigger than the person, and we all get behind the person currently leading because if they make it, we all make it.

thread. *taps the sign that says "The commandment to honor your parents doesn't actually mean you're supposed to harm yourself by staying in relationship with them"*

It seems that I only ever hear terror about someone else's religion being made US law which applies to citizens who don't adhere to that religion, from people who have made their own religion US law which applies to us who don't adhere to their religion.

I lived in Tennessee for six years, but I moved away and don't vote in Tennessee anymore. So I'm going to need everyone in Tennessee's 9th to vote for him for me.

They do. I'm GenX and my gen is split, but I'm one of the ones who had it harder than my Silent Gen parents. And my GenZ kid has it so hard that we moved to EU so he'd have a shot. Lucky we can do that bc of European g'parents. It's harder here now than it was, too, but better than in the US.

The difference--

My mom is in her 80s and messaged me that she saw Spiderman interviewed and he's adorable and so is his new wife. So I had the UNPRECEDENTED HONOUR of showing her this video for the first time. I got an all caps reply with many exclamation points. Now, you all know the law.

Humans are notoriously bad at telling the difference between "bad thing didn't happen to me because I minimized the risk" and "bad thing didn't happen to me therefore the risk was minimal" and Republicans prey on that.

Unequal. Access. To REST.

Yesssss Wisconsin Curse, repeat thyself!

Movie I've seen more than six times:

Rand Paul releasing Dr. Anthony Fauci's diaries is the most Regina George thing to come out of a Congress whose maturity in conflict is recently more on the level of Eric Cartman.

I am a rules follower.

BREAKING: SAG-AFTRA, the actors union comes out in opposition to the Paramount-Warners merger. Plenty of actors & SAG members have been a part of our #BlockTheMerger coalition from day 1 but still, this is big. My hometown of Hollywood does not want this misbegotten mashup & neither does democracy

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED.......

@trotfox.bsky.social

This already happens WAY more often than people know. We've had to reinvent bronze casting more times than I recall. Your sheets growing up actually were softer and better and no we can't fix it. Nobody knows how to make the good flexy fountain pen nibs anymore.

Remembering the great Robin Williams, born on this day in 1951!

$100 to any reporter who asks him, "so you're saying Capitol Police should've shot dead everyone who breached the Capitol on January 6?"

For those of you that ever wondered what scares the shit out of him: #FabFord

I don't understand the superfans who instantly trash a new offering from their fandom. It's ok to not like it. But this trend of campaigning to eradicate series, movies, books you don't deem sufficient is decimating genres some of us love without requiring compliance with our every ideal from it.

My most recent step in trying to manage my genetic disease: a green smoothie for breakfast comprised of a banana, spinach, avocado, ginger, lemon juice, chia, oat milk, and green powder. It's not terrible!

OSSOFF: Are you aware that Gabbard was present at the Fulton County raid? CLAYTON: ... O: What is going on here? C: ... ... O: Are you aware that members of this committee are probing Gabbard's potential misconduct? CLAYTON: .... Uh uh .... COTTON: Senator Ossoff your time is expired!

The thing about JKR and telling folks not to buy Harry Potter shit is it isn't because we think it can take away her fortune and platform. She's so rich she would still be rich if she never sold another book It is because it is literally the smallest possible hurdle to clear to value trans lives

I cannot ever, ever watch this scene without Williams' music literally making me cry by the end. And Neill's face. ALL throughout. Iconic.
