I am a technically savvy guy with knowledge on science, tech, math type stuff. If you need or want something explained to you at a level you are comfortable with; no judgement; let me know here or in DMs.
If you are a journalist and post on Bluesky that you want insight on a topic from experts and don’t list a way to receive replies other than actually replying to your post; you are doing it wrong.

Finally saw SINNERS (on a plane’s entertainment system as Coogler intended). I liked it, definitely squicked me out a few times. Michael B Jordan should have gotten an Oscar nod. He was stellar.

I’m gonna be clear: you cannot be friends with ppl who write legal opinions like this that have the practical effect of devaluing the lives of children and that give cops free rein to ignore human pain in favor of property protection. If you are, you’re morally bankrupt. I said what I said.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

"is the president of the united states currently being blackmailed by pedophiles" is a legitimate question with supporting evidence that needs to be investigated

I don’t know why people have a problem regarding “Chuck Schumer.” Chucking Schumer is probably one of the smartest moves the Dems could do; he is not an effective leader.

I had my FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE protest sign and unprompted (I was walking home) this guy starts yelling from his car, “OH OH, YOU WANT BOYS IN GIRLS SPORTS? YOU WANT THAT?”
Like? Whatever? I am a grownup. I don’t give a shit. But trans kids are trans, and that’s a fact. You can’t vote it away.

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.

The thing about government shutdowns is that they're manufactured things that never need to happen.
They're bullshit that adversely affects the lives of normal people because politicians love posturing.

Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

Wonderful article here. Stop whining about the ineffectual Dems and start supporting the next generation, who believe in something other than winning another term.
Mamdani created vision that shamed this cowardice: by having standards, and then showing everyone what his standards are, and then proving that he truly held those standards by standing for something without shame. This tapped into something powerful.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

If you want to see, in just a few words, what the issue with Establishment Dems is; look below.
Babies are getting peppers sprayed. People are threatened with starvation. Billionaires are on the run from a 35yo who wants free buses.
But guys: we are closer on a vote on ACA tax credits.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous
