Never used twitter- don't really know what to say here. I like books, outdoors, animals, science, and crafts.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

A bright light in a dark moment: The price of the critical TB drug bedaquiline has now dropped to $90 per adult treatment course for TB, a 54% reduction since just 2023.

This is a huge win for @tbfighters.org and the TB activism community generally. www.stoptb.org/what-we-do/f... (1/2)...

Me when the FBI arrests me for downloading DeepSeek:

"WHAT IS THE CHARGE? Using an Al? A succulent Chinese Al? Why did - GET YOUR HAND OFF MY PENIS! Why did you do this to me, WHAT IS THE CHARGE? and you sir, are you also waiting to receive my feminine penis? Gentlemen, THIS IS DEMOCRACY MANIFEST!”

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

If only there was a word for when an unelected oligarch moves quickly to take over control of the government.

The legacy media is failing us. Support independent media.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

It’s so funny, there’s a long social media tradition going back 25 years of making a big deal about how you were going to quit, and then only being gone for like half a day.

I for one am excited for TikTok to show me a splashy "The US GOVERNMENT HAS DESTROYED EVERYTHING YOU LOVE" screen when I open the app next week followed by Donald Trump crawling through glass to get it back because it helped get him elected thus solidifying him as a HERO OF THE EVERYDAY AMERICAN.

People are grieving the loss of real community on TikTok but it is empty headed behavior to pretend it is some slayer of fascism? *You* are what was good about it, not the fucking app! It is truly insane to me that some of you are hyping up the CEO's little thank you Trump video???? What the fuck???

I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me.

In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.

The way cops are going balls to the wall for the ceo assassin but don’t do any work for normal people makes it beyond clear that cops aren’t here for our safety, cops are colonizing armies and we are the colonized
