At what point does Project 2025 curiosity start generating enough clicks that every eyeball-hungry outlet starts writing about it? It sure feels like we're at that point or past it.

I know with hindsight everyone is saying they should have directed people look up parts of a massive policy document months ago, but like, you know how weird it is to see people directing each other to go look up sections of a massive policy document?
Increasingly seeing this stuff on non-politics social media

I just saw a guy driving a big truck like a ford F150 with a bunch of lumber stuck through the window of the second row of the cabin, like in one side out the other, presumably because it was too long to go in the very short bed. Congrats on designing trucks that defeat the purpose of trucks.

Alright settle down class. Ok, so: Lot was a bit of a drinker and had two daughters, and his neighbors wanted to rape his houseguests, and then he also had this wife but she was disobedient...

I sent this email to Snopes about their ridiculous Charlottesville "fact check" on Friday, followed up yesterday, no response. So sharing it here as an open letter. Apologies for the typos, I wrote it pretty fast. @brooklynmarie.bsky.social

love that we've ceded control of our primary voice networks because we're too corrupt to pass and enforce rules that don't upset telemarketers and debt collectors
The first rule of avoiding scam calls is to never answer unknown numbers, and even some known ones. Curious? Bored? Worried it’s an emergency? Wait the extra minute it takes for the call to go to voice mail, then decide if it’s legitimate.
Sick of scams? Stop answering your phone.www.washingtonpost.com Phone scams are still hugely popular — and they depend entirely on people curious enough to answer.

Young people are full of dreams and expectations and depending on how those dreams are killed and expectations are upended, they can either age into people who wish the world afforded everyone a chance or people who want the world to burn for denying them theirs.

There are people with consistent pro-life positions, and while I don't think the belief makes them worthy of exile from society I also don't think they ameliorate the forced-birth movement one bit because they clearly have no power in it.
