give whoever’s idea this was a merit badge

sometimes one of my cats will look like they're about to act up and i will stare them down and say "you're on thin ice, young lady"

This is exactly right.

Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less.

We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation.

Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.

WHAT'S UP EVERYONE, ANDREA LAFLAMME IS ON BLUESKY NOW

Sick of Graham Platner's Nazi bullshit? Looking for a younger candidate than Janet Mills? Lucky for us, the great state of Maine has more than two people!!

The whole "war on cars" whining is really the perfect example of, "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

ICE and CBP have regularly been documented wearing Meta's camera glasses, and the idea people are less likely to notice because they're distracted would be like Ring doorbell thinking nobody could connect dog searching to state surveillance. this is actually the least sneaky time in history for this

ally™️: "what can i do to help trans people right now?"

us: "give us money."

ally™️: "wait,, really?"

us: "yes, really. a lot of us are struggling and direct aid is most impactful. i can send you some gofundmes...."

ally™️: "what *else* can i do to help trans people right now?"

Since his term was up this year anyway I heard there's just gonna be an appointed seat-filler until the regular election

Google’s defence that “AI isn’t perfect” is a wild approach to a negligence lawsuit.

“Sure this toaster electrocutes you if you touch the handle with wet fingers, it’s not perfect.”

Lawyer: well shucks, they got us.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

It is nearly impossible to get trans-led research into the mainstream press. I've never managed it. Congrats @transactualuk.bsky.social

I dunno, I feel like "I'm siding with Ken Paxton on genociding trans youth" should be the demoralizing bit here Jesse

Nancy 3/4/26 💅

Yellow and Pink go to the street fair.

I think about this take more often than I'd like to.

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty

I'm sorry but if you take paychecks from the New York Times some segment of people will simply not take you seriously, morally or intellectually, because you're working for an organization that has spent the last 10 years deliberately building a hate movement.

Cover sheet of a journal article: "Why do cars get a free ride? The social-ecological roots of motonormativity" by Ian Walker and Marco te Brömmelstroet

HOT RESEARCH NEWS!

Motonormativity ("car brain") is a bias that stops people making rational judgements about driving en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motonor...

Our new study shows where this bias comes from AND how it makes people think they're odd for supporting changes to the transport system 🧵

so, torture. they’re torturing them as federal policy. entirely predictable, but that doesn’t make it any less evil

there has never been a better article on trans people than www.vice.com/en/article/t...

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

ai is a rhetorical technology.

when it produces a list of permissible targets, its value is not producing targets but producing permission

Yes, we know perfectly well that nothing on earth can shake you out of your vulgar liberal complacency.
