A fun pattern:
-everyone knows Twitter likes are public so they don’t like smut
-Twitter likes become private so people go wild
-people assume blue sky likes are also private
-blue sky likes are extremely public

The lesson we have to learn about Internet forums over and over for all eternity is this: the ONLY moderation that works is having actual humans ban people for bad-faith harassment and trolling, using a “I know it when I see it” standard. This is the irreducible core of managing human communities

Mediaite obtained the police report of the Pete Hegseth alleged sexual assault incident. The details are horrific and should be disqualifying.

I know I've lost this one, but even Bobby's brainworm story was BS. He proffered it as an excuse for avoiding spousal support of his ex-wife, whom he tortured until she committed suicide.

Study linked on Twitter/X : approximately mid-July, the algorithm was modified to subject users to more pro-Trump content whether they sought it or not. Link to the study eprints.qut.edu.au/253211/

the best part about bluesky is that, unlike twitter, it isn’t putting annoying bull shit designed to piss me off in front of me every 3 minutes

"new supply doesn't lower rents" then why do landlords fight it so hard? Why do real estate investors avoid places that are seeing lots of new housing supply?

RFK Jr. wants to tackle chronic disease. Despite controversial views on vaccines, his focus on healthy food and taking on special interests may find broad support — and face political headwinds.

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

it is worth pointing out that "known pedophile in public office" won the democrats a senate seatr in alabama in 2018
really something to weather a coalition breaker like Dobbs in a should-be wave election and then immediately go back to sticking a fork in the electrical socket but who are we to question these geniuses
does feel like some GOP elected are convinced they cannot break their coalition and uh lol lmao

Michelle Obama: Maybe, like, eat something green.

The Press: OMG! NANNY STATE! BIG GOVERNMENT! DEATH PANELS!

RFK Jr.: I will literally ban all your favorite foods, and also toothpaste.

The Press: His focus on healthy food may find broad support.

Note: The far right has more power than ever over Texas, and has turned the state into an incubator for the nation. The billionaire who funds them is now tied closely to the Trump admin.

Point being: Keep an eye on what happens here, because it may be replicated elsewhere.
Texas Republicans this week filed bills that'd allow kids to sue drag performers; legalize covenant marriage; ban the state from funding health plans with gender therapy; and resurrect 2017's failed "bathroom bill."

Note: This is the agenda before the furthest-right lawmakers have even filed.
Texas lawmakers target property taxes, abortion and gender transition care in first bills for the 2025 session
Tuesday marked the first day lawmakers could file bills for next year’s legislative session.
