My mom told her physical therapist she wears a mask because her husband and daughter are immunocompromised. The PT said she is too but isn't worried bc she knows if she dies she is going to heaven. Then her co-worker yelled, “Shut up Debbie you wear a seatbelt and take blood pressure meds” 👀

"Don't post if you don't want random strangers to reply" remains one of the most most hilariously illogical things I have seen people say on social media.

Allow me to list several other examples of "Do not allow me to perceive a thing if I cannot personally interact with it" logic at play:

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Of course I would say this, but we need to talk about the moral & ideological case for play & leisure more than ever. So much political discourse - especially from the super-rich - assumes we ought to construct society around forcing citizens to spend most of their one, unrepeatable life working.

The Big Four (who never had the kinds of actual advantages that demanded the whole world separate itself from its common sense and sign on with them) have degraded to the point where their advantage is market power. This means they deliver less than your town's good firm. The consultants, forget it.

There was a power struggle within DOGE and some of the particular people no longer have official roles in government. But that's pretty meaningless.

Case in point: Musk's right-hand man Steve Davis acted as the de facto head of DOGE long after being fired, purging anyone not loyal to him

Are we not even making our own disinformation? What happened to American manufacturing?
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Now, the bullies are actually in charge, so it will inevitably get worse.
A trans teen in Iowa completed suicide after severe bullying by classmates and teachers.

"Miles’ death came a day after a substitute teacher refused to use his preferred pronouns."

It's the type of bullying @thefireorg.bsky.social and @aricohn.com support.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

No PM, who swept to power as women abandoned his main opponent, should want this headline.

PM Goldman Sachs has very bad political instincts.

"Mark Carney, backing away from a key international priority of his Liberal predecessors, says his government does not have a feminist foreign policy."

Great piece on Trump's 'Quiet, piggy' moment. This phrase could be the new shorthand way to explain how abusers silence their victims. Keep quiet or be punished cruelly.
