The number of men who just openly talk about the amount of money they lose in online sports betting like it’s just one of those normal things is depressing. You should be more ashamed of yourselves.

Stop trying to be president, son, and start trying to be PRESENT for your SON

I genuinely appreciate that you are finally starting to worry about the terrible harms of "A.i." companies, @rweingarten.bsky.social. But calling for future regulation is not enough. You and the @aft.org must COMPLETELY CANCEL your partnership with OpenAI. www.sfchronicle.com/tech/article...

Bannon’s show today encapsulates the MAGAsphere right now: The left are all demonic treasonous America-haters who need to tone down their rhetoric.

Back in 2020-2021 I wrote a book about how you can make it through the worst shit that life can throw at you — by telling stories and escaping into your imagination. For a short time, my Hugo-winning book Never Say You Can't Survive is just $2.99 in all e-book formats! bookshop.org/p/books/neve...

GOOD. According to the article, OpenAI was part of the planning team for this school. Inexcusable to give that company any role in education. cc @rweingarten.bsky.social & @aft.org - please COMPLETELY CANCEL your partnership with OpenAI to push "A.i." on teachers and students!

Is the New York Times more biased than other major US news organizations that cover the trans community? Early data from our 2026 news tracker suggests they are. Of the 10 outlets we've been tracking, NYT had the fewest stories that quoted a trans person of them all. More here:

The Zuckerbergs are planning to shut down their school, displace hundreds of kids, and lay off 147 people. Doesn't feel like they're that interested in contributing if they stay, so 🤷 www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

You laugh but handing out these hats is the Democrats’ entire healthcare plan.

Today in Jeremy's salad: romaine, pansy, and hibiscus

this is outrageous. when I was in school, Randy was a crank, but mostly fine, or at least he knew better than to talk like this. his radicalization has been wild to watch. this is so far beyond any respectable discourse. just pure racism and hate.

We made a baby swap today. Turned in three weaned Nigerian Dwarves and got one fresh ND plus two fresh Nubians.

73 is far, far, far too early. Rest in peace, and deepest condolences to his loved ones.

Obvious, but worth saying out loud from time to time: Most of the famous people in this country are famous because of their ability to generate or funnel money. Do not judge yourself by or cede moral judgement to those standards.

the Candy Crush Code Amendments Act

They fucking freeze dried it?? They are domestic abuse victims, not fucking astronauts.

"Mexico will pay for the wall."

"Billionaire moves to the right." No he didn't. What's that first word in the sentence again?

A photo shows the houses in Jalud under attack now, with dozens of settlers surrounding the homes. People pleading for help as families remain trapped inside.

Hey, NYC Council District 03. The election is tomorrow. Please DO NOT RANK Carl Wilson. Leave him completely off of your ballot. If I were in that district, I'd vote of Lindsey Boylan.

If you buy into this crap, you will do a bad job.

under woke 2, we have new chemtrails

Thing I said the other day: "My main job is answering emails, but when I write fiction in my spare time." 😜

this is the exact level of perversion this site was built for

Don't share screenshots of random accounts from Twitter. They're almost always fake or bullshit. Yes, this is about that one going around right now. Just delete it.

we’ve let the free speechers speech us into an alternate reality

Feel like I'm getting pretty good at making salmon

Notably, @douglassoule.bsky.social reports that DeSantis' new map was published by Fox News before he sent it to the legislature. x.com/DouglasSoule...

Gerry Conway wrote some amazing stories you probably know even if you didn’t read them. & I respect how he tried to keep the Punisher symbol out of the hands of the worst people in the world— marvel just didn’t have his back in doing it.

hey gen x wanna infuriate the gen z person in your life? call them a millennial

I've known Hailey for years and I've seen her deal with some incredibly tough challenges with grace and resilience. I've also seen her do so much to lift up other trans and queer people. It fucking sucks that her mom is sick. I'd be so grateful if you could show her some support <3

older presidents are known to prefer the comforts of home. it's a little thing we call eagle's nesting.

Some welcome news for Wisconsin Democrats as they try to take control of the state Assembly for first time since 2010 GOP wave. Retiring GOP state Rep. Dean Kaufert won reelection in the 53rd Assembly District 50.5 to 49.4 as Kamala Harris was carrying it 51-47.

representation is not liberation

Appreciate you! ❤️❤️

Reupping this -- At this point I am especially interested in speaking with LGBTQ+ caregivers and indigenous caregivers who also have disabilities.

I'm feeling pretty smug right now that my brother in Washington State has a worse representative than I do in Texas. What a world.

Happening now: Israeli settlers are now burning down several houses in the village of Jalud in the West Bank in an attempt to burn Palestinian families alive. Several families are trapped inside their homes, they are pleading for help.

It's bc for them donald trump being elected/being the president is the ritual of democracy. Finally the ritual worked, we got the authentic tribune of Real America. J6 now in hindsight was also a pro-democracy ritual because it was for trump

i totally missed whatever happened this weekend because my best friend got married in the woods

sorry i'm obsessed with these

my latest bombshell long-term investigation: It turns out my wifi problem was that the plug behind my couch kept getting hit and briefly disconnecting the router over and over again

Why impeachment? If it won't remove him? This is why!

idk why i looked at facebook but lol

This piece by @moiradonegan.bsky.social is so beautiful. I've never understood the fixation on Marilyn & have mostly tried to avoid participating in the seemingly bottomless appetite for treating her, as Pratchett might have said, like a thing. Here, she is a person.

Hey, cool news - this #MayDayStrong zine is now available in SPANISH, thanks to some cool neighbors in Sunset Park! Download it at zinefun.fyi!

Mentalist one of those rare words for a change that sounds like a slur in the UK but not the States.

Sickening. Two high school kids from DRC. Seized by ICE. Very well loved and admired by students and teachers alike. The oldest already had a college scholarship set up.

pete davidson and colin jost: sink your staten island ferry, cowards!!!

we should absolutely not reschedule the White House Correspondents' Dinner but I do think we can find a future date for Jim Acosta and Michael Tracey to fight each other in front of a Hampton Inn

It's funny because if you ever follow up w "well why are they comparing him to hitler" the answer is always "oh it's because they're deranged and hate our country and in fact they themselves are kind of worse than hitler" like.... the rhetorical loop is so small it's like flipping a light switch

This shit is a filler episode. Move it along.

Are you a fed or former fed who wants to talk to a journalist about the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee tomorrow? Hit me up on Signal. I can provide anonymity to protect you from retaliation.

Former #MISen Donald Riegle, who left the GOP and became a Democrat in 1973 after breaking with Nixon over Vietnam and the "Southern Strategy," has died at 88

last night i had a dream that i finally got to be on jeopardy and all the categories were about the colorado rockies

Holy cats, we're up to 93 folks registered for this event! Can we break 100 tonight???

“He doesn’t even like Arthur???” —our five year old when we told him that Donald Trump ended Molly of Denali and that he doesn’t like anything on PBS

The base has gotten belligerent enough to make party leaders get up from the defensive crouch

gotta say i am extremely over the minor league baseball team "alternate identities" thing

250 Rohingya refugees drowned, 30 were suffocated to death in the cramped conditions beforehand, and the world hardly bats an eye. Are their lives any less valuable? www.ucanews.com/news/when-si...

Squarespace was having technical difficulties this morning, but we're back and you should definitely read this new reported story by @valorievandieman.bsky.social!

Just ahead of Tuesday's special election for District 3, we talked to Lindsey Boylan about being a supporting player for the mayor in City Council, how she would support LGBTQ New Yorkers in District 3, and joining NYC-DSA.

LFG!

The movies never write about this

To make visiting Provincetown more accessible to young queer people, the town's business guild has partnered up with the Provincetown Pride Center to offer trips where lodging, ferry fees and admission to some local events will be covered for selected applicants.

This Saturday, May 2! It's the TRANS NERD MEET UP. We're at Zeitgeist in SF, from 12:30 until whenever. If you don't consider yourself cis, and you like to geek out about ANYTHING AT ALL, come hang out with us. <3

In SEPTEMBER, my friend Brian dared to exercise his 1st Amendment rights. This is what it looks like when the regime uses indictment as punishment—months of fighting facially ridiculous charges; drained bank accounts; & upturned lives. If you can, please support Brian ⬇️ His fight is for all of us.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Apr Report from Good Law Project and Trans Lives from 2019-2025 finds trans kids account for less than 1% of the UK population but accounted for 7% of all underage suicides. www.thepinknews.com/2026/04/28/u...

love is so real dude

what the-- same here! how the heck have i been on this site for THREE YEARS?

What exactly is being depicted here

It's f--king offensive to see some a-hole used the photo of shirtless Cole Allen prostrate, on Washington Hilton carpet, back-cuffed, cops looming, to Photoshop "Distraction" on his forehead and make him hold an "Epstein Files" sign. Do not do this with REAL PEOPLE! Do not do this with BLACK MEN!

We gave them endless weapons and qualified immunity. They rioted in 2020 and have routinely abused their power in the years prior and after.

Ohio's 15th District was one of the nation’s most competitive congressional districts during the first decade of the 21st century, but that changed after the GOP passed a new gerrymander following the 2010 census. Democrats, however, are now making a serious play to flip it.

I literally copy-and-pasted this headline into the search bar to make sure it was real

over the weekend i had a piece go up about Lynn Swisher Spears, a trans woman who started life as an architect, transitioned later in life and became a folk singer, and the weird house she built that forever ties her to Houston www.chron.com/culture/arti...

I’m sad that people don’t know the songs. There have been new ones written that are more secular. I don’t think the distribution of them has worked. One of the reasons people like attending rallies w @jfrejnyc.bsky.social is we do have songs. And song sheets.

friends I am so tired

This judge seems overly confident that he understands the effects of tear gas. If clouds were wafting into his home, as has happened to people in Portland on many occasions since 2020, I'm sure he would revise his views.

I don't get what the point of this is bc they're not going to fire kimmel, but then there never is any point is there

Sports bros can even lose money on Fan Duel’s hypothetical bets

So as I understand it, there are 2 answers to all of our problems: guns and ballrooms. And this has the nice feature that the solution to guns is ballrooms.

January 2029: Trump declares himself emperor and has barricaded himself in the inner sanctum of the ballroom. He has a feed of Newsmax, can post to Truth Social, and enough Big Macs to last until the Strait of Hormuz is open again (~15 years). Dana Bash opines that his feelings must be respected.

What journalist Maria Sacchetti describes is truly startling. These new "deportation judges" hold onto the types of backward, racist, and sexist views you'd hope were left back in the 20th century. Thanks for this reporting @mariasacchetti.bsky.social! 🙏🏼 Gift link! wapo.st/3OMZOXd
