I've been seeing an increase in anti-abortion billboards the last few weeks and if I had the expendable income for it I'd absolutely be buying space for pro-abortion billboards

it's another example of how the centrist-and-left side of the spectrum just cedes territory because the people in charge don't see the direct benefit of things like billboards and AM radio and whatever, while the right wing and far-right take up every inch of attention real estate they can find

detective stories really led me to believe that it would be VITAL to note whether everyone I come into contact with is right- or left-handed

Meta now lets anyone use your Instagram photos in AI images without your consent. SAG-AFTRA recommends that #SagAftraMembers (and all Instagram users) opt-OUT of Meta’s new AI image generation tool, Muse Image. Take action to protect your likeness.

Gonna be honest: not a big fan of the amount of people online who are like “ugh I guess the wokescolds are going to make me have to stop supporting Platner because he’s a rapist, I can’t believe everyone is being held to ridiculous standards now”

I got a lot of compliments on my nails over the past few days and I think part of the reason is bc they're very noticeable bc of how much they clash with the rest of my presentation lmao

Run on this! It's a real thing! People want to hang out IRL but hanging out IRL is too expensive.

The Fun Shortage Is Real, and It’s Making America Miserable. “With fewer places to relax and socialize, and steeper prices for entry, having fun is quantifiably harder than it used to be.” [bloomberg.com]

fuck SCOTUS

Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social

The Supreme Court's first decisions are the trans athlete cases. By a 6–3 vote, the court holds that Title IX and the equal protection clause do NOT stop states from excluding trans women and girls from female sports teams. The three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

SFPD brutalized queer and trans people in the Transgender District of SF after a Pride march. In case anyone still thinks cops belong at Pride.

TONIGHT Several people were arrested at the end of the Trans March, the kick-off event for San Francisco Pride weekend. Police officers ran into the crowd & handcuffed people, allegedly for earlier acts of vandalism. People were heard yelling "Get off him!" & "What the fuck?!"

hey uhhh what does it mean when you drink a whole redbull and feel relaxed and kind of sleepy? pretty sure I'm the first person in history to feel this way

Algae are prolific producers of oxygen (and consumers of carbon dioxide), en masse producing a huge proportion of the oxygen we breathe, which means that the greening of the Reflecting Pool might be the most pro-climate thing Trump has ever done.

this and the return of real station wagons. fuck outta here with your crossovers

I had a shower thought last night that making singing in public as normal as it was before ~1940 would maybe fix the culture

A decade ago my house hosted a bunch of younger folks fresh to the struggle in a big party. Late in the evening we forced them to learn Bella Ciao and sing it along, to much zoomer cringing and wilting. But knowing our songs is just as important as knowing how to build shields or encrypt your shit.

sorry but "literally the gulag" made me LOL

WIRED@wired.com

Well, for one, life at the newly assembled Applied AI team is “literally the gulag”, one anonymous employee told WIRED. Sudden isolation and drudgework tasks are dragging morale to a record low. /3

No, the assumption that disabled people require our colleagues’ stolen words and illustrations chopped up and spewed out in order to participate in art is ableist. We have BEEN creating art. Many of the works you love? Made by someone marginalized out of traditional jobs.

I'm like 6 months late to the Lindy West Discourse (I had to wait for my libby hold to come up :(( ) but the number of times I have yelled at my phone while listening to this book is higher than any book I've ever read OR listened to

I like Lindy a lot and I would like to take her very gently by the hands and look her in the eyes and tell her she does not have to spend so much energy hating herself. But then I know a lot of people who need that talk.

you can get so much more done when you finally stop talking to yourself like you're a dumb piece of shit who deserves nothing! life gets so much better!!! you have brain space for so many things!!!

You know, most bothersome insects have the good grace to give up when you go indoors. Not ticks! Ticks will ride you an hour home from the field and then do a crawlabout on the back of your neck another hour after you've gotten home. Little bastard wasn't even attached yet.
