Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

How do conservatives think it's patriotic to tear down the founding principles of the constitution and cede control to a wanna-be dictator and his band of predators?

Theres a difference between loosening federal gov regulation and completely destroying it in favor of oligarchy and buffoonery #trump

Remember how American voters so hated Project 2025, the playbook for a second Trump term written by the Heritage Foundation and other right-wing institutions, that Trump said he had nothing to do with...

The goal is to use every letter that's yellow and leave every green letter where it goes each guess. It's hard mode I guess, but I don't have the setting turned on just in case lol

What's your favorite genre? Or top 3 if you'd like.

My top fave is litrpg, followed by fantasy and supernatural

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

I'm curious what your record is for finishing a book. I'm not 100% sure on mine but probably a few hours; I've been known to finish multiple books a day 😅

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.

I like this version of social media, and the world.

Thanks, folks.

I am always grateful that I found the #litrpg genre about two years ago. It really reignited my love of reading when I was in a slump.

Putting a video game into book format, with levels and all, is actually genius 📚 💙

As I've been going through my books for the 20 book challenge, I have realized just how many books are about fighting against injustice in its many forms. I've been reading insatiably since I could read...so no wonder I am the way I am.

The point of bringing in Hegseth, Gaetz and Gabbard is to burn it all to the ground. Senate: You must recognize this and stop it.
Post from writer Tom Nichols: If you want to subvert a democracy, the first three institutions you try to capture with loyalists are the military, the justice system, and the intelligence community. Trump is on the offensive against all three.
