A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Still a top 5 all time running back too. And he walked away earlier than Sanders did. Jim Brown was all-around legend of a man. RIP
Happy Birthday to the late Jim Brown, born 90 years ago today

"A.i." is screwing all of us in order to enrich right wing billionaires.
A really funny game to play now if you upgraded your PC in the last few years is to check the price of equivalent components now. The RAM I paid £279 for in 2024 is now £1059 on the same store lmao

Excellent piece by Luke O'Neil. The only note I have is one thing not mentioned by Etel Haxhiaj: the community responded quickly because ICE had been quietly disappearing ppl here for months before this incident.
In May we reported on the abduction by ICE of an asylum seeker in Worcester. @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social, a city councilor at the time, was absurdly and unjustly convicted last week of assaulting a police officer that day in what she says was a politically motivated trial. We talked about it.
A crisis that needed my attention
In May of last year Bill Shaner reported for Hell World on the abduction of a Worcester, MA asylum-seeker named Rosane Ferreira-De Oliveira by the federal government. It was an early look at how horri...

There's something quite comforting about another Barkley with no finishers, but solid effort to all! #BM100
Damian Hall came in off loop 3, but without collecting all his pages and is the last to face the bugler. Fog, cold, and the wet weather were factors. #BM100

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

i’ll end this little brainstorm by just asking what it is, exactly, that the MAGA right likes about the United States, since it explicitly rejects those things that make this nation distinctive — its pluralism, its revolutionary heritage and egalitarian aspirations, and its republican institutions

Why is the Black college graduation rate so low? Why do so many Black men go to college to play sports, and then drop out? Why did NIL passing increase college graduation rates and increase college sports revenue?

Just finished The Wee Free Men and I get the love for Tiffany Aching. I love the way Pratchett grows the myth and lore of the Witches. I love pictsies also. I don’t know how these books keep getting better.

I just want everyone to know that the creator of one of our favorite whistles (the micro bitonal) is a very nice man in Italy who has been messaging me asking if there are things he can tweak in the next version he is designing mostly to help us mass produce these more efficiently to fight ICE.
