A despicable ad from Vivek Ramaswamy who is a despicable person. Desperate Republicans have run some horrible, dishonest ads to distract from their failures in office, but maybe none worse than this one.

If an amendment to your constitution results in children routinely being shot in school then it's time to amend it again.

Holy shit.

When are men going to step up and get serious about ending rape culture?

People in blue states loves to shit on places like Ohio. But Ohio gave you Rep. Joyce Beatty. I am so proud to be represented by her in Congress.

9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."

This is what Trump did on 9/11.

Picked this of the many "AI is down posts" to repost because it literally took the words out of my mouth. Now, if all the AI could just stay down until the end of the semester.

I've spent years arguing against so-called Generational Theory (which ain't a theory, btw), but perhaps now I'll just ask, when you say boomer, you talking about Dolly, Tim, or that other one born in 1946? Explain to me again how they're all the same because they were born the same year.

Providing school children with free meals is better than posting The Ten Commandments and then ignoring their hunger.

One America, where people are smart enough to know you don't form plurals with apostrophes. Another America, where people are stupid enough to use apostrophes to form plurals.

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.

So the official Republican stance is that domestic violence and child abuse are family matters and that everyone outside the family should just turn a blind eye and let a man pump himself full of T and beat his wife and child. Got it. The bear. Every time.

Brought to you by the people who claim that their transphobia is only about protecting women.

Welcome to the most important job you'll ever have @andyburnham.bsky.social Cartoon brilliance by @bjennings90.bsky.social for @theguardian.com

I just sent this out to Democracy Docket premium members, but in light of the Postmasters comments this morning threatening voting by mail, I felt it is urgent to post it online for everyone. Please read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/mail...

I like to think I'm not the kind of person who gloats, but here I am, gloating.

Trump of Finland.

Thank you, Scott Pelley, for "It's working for me!" I promise to use it whenever I'm told I'm being unreasonable or inappropriate or overly demanding for not complying with fascists.

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

hard to exaggerate how heroic these men were. they likely saved dozens of children's lives. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Has Hunter Biden filed for reparations from the "weaponization" slush fund yet? How about Hillary? The state of Minnesota?

Proof that cats, despite their reputation, have more empathy than Trump.

He's right, and that's the problem. Doubling zero is still zero.

Knitwear designer Kate Davies has written a really good blog post about the incursion of #AI into knitting. As a knitter, I really appreciate her perspective, but what she says applies far beyond the knitting community. katedaviesdesigns.com/2026/04/29/k... #knitsky

I’m a day late, but congratulations to Beau Greaves on being the first woman to win a PDC #darts championship, and beating 3 former world champions to do so, including legend Gary Anderson.

Tonight on our evening walk in one of Columbus' metro parks, my wife and I heard a racket in the trees. It was about a dozen wild turkeys looking for @theferocity.bsky.social .

Today is both really sad and really marvelous. It is exactly 11,000 Days since the last mass shooting in a UK School. Handguns were banned as had Assault Rifles a decade earlier. With a popultaion 1/5th that of the US. Annually the UK has 800 murders of which 40 are with guns.

This picture pretty much sums things up.

They think you're stupid.

Suddenly, my childhood road trips don't seem so bad. Yeah, I had to sit in the middle, and we ate sandwiches instead of stopping at restaurants, and the only entertainment was mom reading aloud from the TripTik, but at least my dad never brought a severed raccoon penis back to the car. #RFKjr

It's not like me to snap my fingers at something a pope said, but here I am, snapping away. 🤌

I have some concerns with the choice of picture for this story from BBC News

Useful link.

Your daily de-stresser.

Came across this old photo of our Poppy, who passed away last summer. I feel like he should live on as a meme. I can imagine many situations that this look would be right for.

Decompressing with some colorwork. #knitsky

The Strait of Hormuz is perfectly safe...

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Finally some clarity! So as long as I don't have my students change Churchill into a beaver, I needn't worry about Ohio's new law on what we can teach, right? Right? I'm assuming we can still teach about Liz Truss and the Head of Lettuce, though, since that is NOT the definition of woke.

We Ohioans aren't used to seeing our absent and lazy Senator #Husted in the news, but he's stepped it up this week, taking time away from testifying in the First Energy corruption scandal and avoiding questions about his ties to #LesWexner in order to call poor people stupid.
