the story of sodom is that a bunch of greedy rich assholes decided that it was their own brilliance that made them so wealthy rather than god's good graces (sheer luck). when they not only refused to share their abundance and began to punish those who did, god smote them for their wickedness.

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access.
It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

I have to wonder about the American strategy of spending three decades defunding and mocking the humanities, forcing kids into STEM fields whether they like it or not, and then rug-pulling the entire US science & medical sector because you got mad at women online.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”
Federal health workers terrified after ‘DEI’ website publishes list of ‘targets’
The site calls out workers who have been involved with DEI initiatives. A majority are Black.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

The reason there are so many music snobs is because people desperately don't want to admit that Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego by Rockapella is the best song ever written.
But you have to let go of your shame and be free.

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool

Honestly? I deleted Bluesky off my phone, because after just 72 hours, I could not take mainlining panic and bad news for one single second longer. I'm inclined to recommend that other people do the same. Inhaling every second's worth of depressing, awful shit isn't going to help you or anyone else.
You do not need to track every bad thing happening tonight.
If closing this app, putting down the device, and watching a comfort show will help you get a good night's sleep?
I think you should do that.
There's nothing you can do on here tonight that's worth you not getting a good night's sleep

George Takei or Dolly Parton. Not that Dolly would ever (directly, I mean).
If they looked you square in the eye and said without a hint of humor or irony “fuck you, I will never respect you”, which celebrity would it hurt the most to hear it from?

Hey, just FYI, if you respond to any suggestion of pushing back against EOs or anything else with that, "Nyah, why bother? The courts are already gone," doomer bullshit, I will be blocking you. I categorically refuse to read an endless stream of that weak tea crap for the next four years.
