Today is just like yesterday, except now your daily bullshit happens in a world in which several U.S. Presidents have apparently excanged fluids.

Thanks for enjoying [violent retching]

I went to the Bad Place (Twitter) for a hot second and immediately regretted it. The amount of hatred and outright racist slurs behind hurled around by rabid MAGAs is unbelievable.

Back to Threads for cat pics and the Rebellion. 😕

when MAGA Americans are watching their parents ration heart medication and drawing straws to decide who tells the kids that Santa can’t afford to come this year, at least they can take comfort in knowing they have temporarily inconvenienced the economy of the Falkland Islands

This story is horrific and terrifying. Then, near the end, this:

"The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit."

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Nothing like having a nightmare about your toxic ex from years back, then looking at his Twitter account the next day and seeing he still follows the who's who of Stupid Shitty People: Musk, Thiel, Jordan Peterson, Bezos, Ben Shapiro... #dodgedabullet

You will never succeed at fighting right wing disinfo with facts. Right wingers believe the first thing they hear & they'll believe it for life. They'll fight to the death about some inconsequential bullshit they just heard 5 seconds ago. You beat them by calling them weird assholes & isolating them

NEW: After reviewing leaked documents, we have found UnitedHealth is strategically limiting access to a treatment for thousands of children with autism across the country in order to cut costs.

Fantastic article written by @kylietcheung.bsky.social. Chilling to think that this is merely the tip of the iceberg and it's only going to get worse from here.
Thanks to social media algorithms, seemingly apolitical interests like weightlifting/video games/MMA fighting/dating have become a pipeline to right-wing politics through the "manosphere." One researcher told me, "If we don’t do something about this now, we’re messing up kids":

Go figure that my first post on Bluesky would yield more likes and reposts than anything ever wrote on Twitter. 😄

P.S. For my fellow nerds out there running rooted Android and still going through Twitter detox, the Revanced version of Twitter is 💯 - no ads, hides recommended users, etc.
