If you are willing to yell at your GOP electeds in a good cause, here is one:

Also another reminder that <10 people in Washington - all of whom are Republicans & all of whom keep getting total daily free passes from the media about their cowardice - could end most of the madness tomorrow by simply caucusing with the Democrats & giving them control of both the House & Senate.
danahoule.bsky.social Dana Houle @danahoule.bsky.social · Nov 22
Suddenly the special election in TN-07 becomes potentially hugely consequential. It shouldn’t be competitive, but if Democrats steal it, when Greene resigns the Republican majority will be down to 218-216 w a sure Dem seat with no special scheduled in Texas.

COVID-19 levels are increasing across most of the U.S. as of late December. But flu is overshadowing COVID-19 in healthcare system impacts and headlines.

For both viruses, similar precautions (like high-quality masks and improving air quality) work to reduce your risk of infection. bit.ly/3LhxKd2
Graphic from The Sick Times sharing the latest COVID-19 trends for January 6, 2026. The graphic presents trends for three metrics: WastewaterSCAN category for SARS-CoV-2, which is "high" (represented with a red color) and reports a significant increase (represented with an up arrow); CDC wastewater viral activity level for SARS-Cov-2, which is "moderate*" (orange) and reports a slight increase (diagonal up arrow), and CDC COVID-19 test positivity, which is moderate (darker yellow) and stable (side to side arrow). Text below these metrics reads: "* CDC wastewater viral activity levels are calculated based on measurements in the last two years only. They do not account for the lower spread that could be possible with more widespread precautions."

The author of a viral Reddit thread alleging fraud at a food delivery company tried to back up his claim by sending me AI-generated documents. Today I'm publishing those documents in the hopes that it helps other reporter see what we're up against in the age of AI www.platformer.news/fake-uber-ea...
The whistleblower, for his part, worked to amp up the pressure. He told me he had shared the document with other reporters, putting me into a competitive crunch. He asked when I thought I would publish. I asked him if he could point me to any current or former coworkers of his who could help me understand the document better. “Not really,” he said. By this point, alarm bells were starting to ring. I wondered if the employee badge the whistleblower had shared with me might have been AI-generated. While AI systems are notoriously unreliable at identifying their own outputs, Google Gemini can detect SynthID watermarks embedded in images that it produces. I uploaded the badge to Gemini and asked if Gemini had made it. “Most or all of this image was edited or generated with Google AI,” it said.

The rise of deepfakes and AI CSAM prove public and private sectors don’t actually care about abuse, but still punish sex workers, queer people, and women under that guise. Credit cards companies and law enforcement punish consensual sex and sexuality, but ignore and therefore encourage abuse

THIS: "When the mere depiction of LGBTQ people is framed as a personal injury, the law is no longer protecting religious freedom. It’s just enforcing religious fragility, the idea that public schools always need to work around the most intolerant parent in the system."

If your faith requires "damage control" because your kid might learn that gay people EXIST, the problem isn’t the book.

It’s your religion.

Unfortunately, because of SCOTUS, a judge has sided with the Christian dad.

hi, have you asked your local comic book shop to get our SUPERNATURAL: VALENTINE'S DAY SPECIAL yet? Out February 4th, 2026!

www.dynamite.com/htmlfiles/vi...

ps graphic design is my passion etc
A graphic that shows Sam and Dean Winchester, they're both white men with brown hair. Dean has his hair short, and in this image he's covered in dirty and his hair is slicked down over with mud. He looks concerned and he's pointing out at the viewer. Sam is a little taller, his brown hair parted in the middle and hanging down to his ears. They've both been photoshopped in front of the comic book cover for SUPERNATURAL: VALENTINE'S DAY SPECIAL 2026 It shows Sam and Dean side by side, both holding weapons in front of a large ornate heart with slashes symmetrical slashes cut through it. The cover is dark, with reds and blues. Cover by Catt Staggs.
