This.
I had an epiphany after reading Matt's latest piece on AI art. It sits in the uncanny valley: if you know itβs fake, itβs fun. If you donβt, youβre too clueless to care. The letdown we experience isnβt due to the image itself, itβs realizing something that made you feel something never existed.
Weβve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably wonβt share intel with us. Because people couldnβt vote for a woman.
The billionaire class stands to benefit mightily from the #bigbeautifulbill currently under consideration in the Senate. (h/t @voronoiapp.bsky.social)

What freaks me out the most about the Adriana Smith case is, what if the baby is born healthy (or mostly healthy), and some pronatalist gets the idea that brain-dead women can be used to breed more babies. Those wombs won't demand human rights.
Secular humanism. Good without God.

You might be on Medicaid without realizing it β because itβs called something else in your state.
Ever heard of Apple Health? Soonercare? Medi-Cal? Thatβs Medicaid.
If they slash it, you could lose coverage and not know why.
Check this list to see what itβs called where you live. π

I thought we were deporting people who were supposedly in cartels? Now we are bringing them here on purpose??
There are many reasons we're here in fascism, but one of the biggest is that nearly all members of the media have spent the last ten years not asking Donald Trump a follow-up question.
Just another reason to follow @kimgoodwin.bsky.social
I bet it's really hard to write for the Onion these days.

Thanks for the link and the much-needed laugh!
This happened in my town. I heard she changed her fundraising goal to 1 million now.
From NPR: The State Department is changing its mind about what it calls human rights. The agency's annual human rights reports are being purged of references to prison conditions, political corruption and other abuses. Response from Melanie D'Arrigo (@DarrigoMelanie): If you're changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people's human rights.
This Is Very Concerning!

Except in this PSA, grandma would be so stricken with osteoporosis and diabetic gangrene after years of no Medicare there's no way she'd be walking with her granddaughter. Or alive.
Found in r/military, where servicepeople are rightfully freaking out about the new EO, which gives FOTUS power to sicc active military on whatever domestic targets they want.
This was just issued to remind soldiers of their obligation to disregard illegal orders. An EO is not a law.
If they really want to inform the public, they'd turn off the paywall.

Can confirm. I look at shipping charts because I'm a nerd like that, and LA/Long Beach (main west coast port for container ships out of China) has a distinct lack of yellow dots anchored in the green dashed zones, where they wait until there's room to unload/load at a dock. That never happens.
WTH did Data Analytics ever do to you?
And I would think Religious Studies would be expanded, not axed.
