I want to share with you some of the words I shared at the @avilewis.ca event in Ottawa.

I mean, they're gonna do something transphobic, sure. But I am just delighted with Trump promising a room of college coaches and ADs that he's going to "solve every conceivable problem" and it's just "check everyone's genitals."

Trump Shrugs At US Deaths: "Some People Will Die" - Joe.My.God. TIME Magazine reports: In his phone call with TIME, Trump described the mission as preventative. “America First is really about keeping America healthy and well, and not having other countries, you kn...

Seriously: If this piece of shit is allowed to be unbothered at the thought of our deaths then we're allowed to be unbothered at the thought of his.

A.I. Checks in After Bombing Iran to See If You Still Think Its Bubble Is Bursting “In order to strike a blistering 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours of its attack on Iran, the U.S. military leveraged the most advanced artificia...

"For a while now, journalists have been telling everyone the AI boom is about to collapse. Listen, bubbles tend to pop. But if history has demonstrated anything, it’s that tools that make murdering people faster and cheaper rarely struggle to find investors."

They’re calling it the most reassuring message of all time

A series of photos of a bar of soap on a rope shaped like the Mutter museum’s “Soap Lady”, a saponified corpse fished out of an alkali bog. The soap looks like a person lying down, their hands resting lightly on their thighs. Their mouth is wide open in possibly a scream, and sunken pits are her eyes. It’s pretty upsetting.

I bought a bunch of Christmas gifts from them once and they gave me a free Soap Lady Soap

Eventually my partner asked that I not keep it in the shower because it freaked her out

It was really good soap

my bandmate is a tattooer and i literally cannot count how many stories he has told me about having to talk customers out of an idea because of how it will be perceived — not just nazi shit, but any ill-considered idea in general. it's a service-based business!

I was never going to take another job outside DOE in this administration but on the occasions folks tried to convince me to jump over to DOD, I made it very clear to them I would not willingly subject myself to this man.

Ha. Real actually. They make two sided negative molds from the part itself and use heated clear plastic sheets.

It's giving.

Yeah man, I support Civic Transparency

What people are willing to do to others and the land to get that quiet is a contentious conversation sorry. There is no such thing as a neutral sound and silence is the least neutral sound of all.

358 cases
120 ER visits
31 hospitalizations

“The children I am seeing in clinic with measles are very, very ill”.

“[a] healthy young mother…was admitted to the intensive care unit with measles-induced hepatitis. Her liver had become severely inflamed”.

Just my four year old daughter telling me about the lock down drill at school, "in case anyone comes and wants to hurt us"

"Pre-1979 is irrelevant ancient history," said no one who knows anything about US, Iranian, or world history.🗃️

Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Inside the latest, and scariest, iteration of America’s endless abortion wars After Trump’s mass pardons of anti-abortion activists, threats and harassment at clinics have surged.

After Trump was reelected, he quickly pardoned anti-abortion activists convicted of harassing and threatening clinic patients and staff. Federal investigations into bomb threats against clinics suddenly vanished.

@kbeccaandrews.bsky.social reports on a newly emboldened abortion protest movement:

the world feels like it's been inked by Vince Colletta

news got me feeling like I walked in my house and Darkseid is sitting in my favorite chair

He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.
