Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

This is one of the most dystopian signs I've ever seen. Republicans are quickly turning this country into an unrecognizable freakshow.

I would bet a not insignificant amount of money this is because of credit card processors.

"we never used to have all these women in their 30s suddenly getting diagnosed with ADHD" listen, I wouldn't have even noticed I have ADHD if I lived in an era where my doctor could ask if I want to lose 5lbs and then hand me enough amphetamines to see the face of God

he gave his followers permission to indulge all their worst impulses loudly and in public this explains both the depth of their devotion to him and the way in which he was uniquely destructive to American society above and beyond the horrific policies he implemented

I strongly believe that the Trump era ushered in a truly horrific era of general ethical backsliding and nihilism in the US across all fronts, one that we still can’t even entirely wrap our brains around. (And Trump’s grotesquely evil approach to Covid made it even worse).

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

NYPD is using helicopters as a private limo service and/or tour bus. Not even joking. This is why we need to defund the police.

Keeping libraries open is cool but have you ever flown a taxpayer-funded chopper to the Hamptons on a summer Friday?

“Do not use your phone to answer phone calls” is not advice as much as it’s a condemnation of regulatory inaction that has led a vital means of communication to ruin.
Avatar The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 20 days
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.

Google appears to have rolled back its new AI Overviews — a generative AI feature — after the technology produced a litany of untruths and errors, including recommending glue as part of a pizza recipe and suggesting that people ingest rocks for nutrients.

This cartoon is always a good reminder as to how white folks viewed the civils rights protests as they happened. The same people that were calling him violent in the 60s are the ones saying today's kids need to be peaceful.
Avatar Iron Spike @ironspike.bsky.social · 2 mo
I find it extremely funny that bigots, peace-over-justice apathy endorsers and white moderates alike all let "You need to protest PROPERLY, like MLK did" come out of their mouths and openly betray the thoroughness of their ignorance. The library is RIGHT THERE. There are photos.

The FTC alleges that a major US oil exec colluded with OPEC to cut production and drive up prices. Research found that Big Oil price fixing may have contributed to 27% of total inflation in 2021. When I say corporate greed is driving inflation, this is what I mean.

I kept digging into that AI company behind Sports Illustrated's fake writers. Turns out it's created tons more fake writers across the web, sometimes for surprisingly huge media clients. And then things get even wilder... For @futurism.bsky.social // futurism.com/advon-ai-con...

For campus administrations freaking out about the visuals of protests they sure are bad at recognizing the optics of their response
