🚨HOLY SHIT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!🚨

STRANGE DAYS is streaming on Criterion Channel as part of their 3 By Bigalow collection. This movie is ALMOST NEVER available and slaps so hard it'll hurt your mama. A must see for any Sci-fi/Cyberpunk/Neo-Noir fan. Such a great fucking movie.

LET'S FUCKING GOOOO!

We should all be pushing our local & municipal government agencies and elected officials to establish @bsky.app accounts.

Making Bluesky more of a hub of civic information will encourage many, many users to migrate away from Twitter/X.

Is there a Bluesky HOWTO for govt departments and officials?

We need to normalise, in media, on socials and in face to face conversations, saying 'This is a stupid conversation and I'm not going to continue it.'

This piece wound up having fewer people read it than I’d hoped when it went up tbh — but I get the feeling that it’s the right people who are reading it
Opinion | Democrats would get nothing for throwing trans Americans under the bus
In the hunt for a scapegoat, some are arguing that there's been too much focus from Democrats on transgender rights. There's no evidence backing that up.

We shouldn’t live in a world where executives feel empowered to instruct journalists to delete coverage they find inconvenient.

Vote accordingly. 🗳️

Move over, Fox News, there's a new conservative propaganda machine in town--one directed squarely at kids. And its propaganda is subtly hidden in ways that might lead families not to notice what their kids are being taught. Let me explain. A🧵... 1/

Sharing this again because I’m so grateful for its articulation of a crucial point: The medical “debate” about youth trans healthcare is an illegitimate smokescreen for a political and moral judgement. The safety and efficacy of hormone treatments & puberty blockers are not in question.

Just so you don't fall into this trap, I guess there's a trend starting among some on the left that "ZOG" isn't antisemitic because the "Z" stands for "Zionist," not "Jewish."

"ZOG" is a neo-Nazi conspiracy term, central to their ideology. You can't clean up with pedantry.

There's a trend in the quack fringe, which has seeped into rightwing politics, seeking to ostracize and illegitimize people with depression, ADHD, autism, etc.

It won't stop there. They'll claim the target is Big Pharma or the medical establishment or cell phones, but it's you. Always you.
In light of RFK jr’s plan to send people to farms to get them off ADHD meds, this is why I will continue to take ADHD meds (1/2)

Hey just a heads up some of the new right are using the term national conservatism in place of national socialism ie Nazism as a dog whistle. If you see accounts or news outlets using national conservatism it’s highly likely it’s a Nazi account or outlet.

A thing simultaneously cute, heartwarming, and utterly devastating to me, that I overheard come from the dining room while making breakfast in the kitchen today, said by the 4 year old to the 1.5 year old:

"If we get too old, we die. And then we start over. Mommy and daddy will be babies!"
