This is indeed an excellent bee

Please note this very fine bee.

It should not be controversial to say that prison sexual violence and/or coercion is never a good thing or an appropriate thing to joke or threaten about, even when the target is someone terrible. It is a deeply fucked up, traumatic part of our carceral system.

This is, in fact, really fucked up

If the cops grab you at a protest remember: 1) Ask "am I free to go?" if they say yes, GO. 2) if they say no, say "I am invoking my right to an attorney and my 5th amendment right to remain silent" then SHUT UP. wait for your lawyer.

If you are going to be protesting anywhere near the Republican National Convention, write the NLG number on your stomach in Sharpie (not your arm: cops use that as "evidence of premeditation"). They are fucking superheroes. Give them money to keep being superheroes: www.nlg.org/donate/

This is your warning that I am going to start blocking people who come into my mentions to do this shit when I am desperately trying to cling to every single fucking positive attempt to use power to move in the correct direction, because I am fucking sick of this shit.

would people PLEASE FUCKING STOP DOING the thing where you see people taking a small measure of comfort in the tactical use of power to try to block the worst outcomes and rush to immediately chastise them for not covering Ideal Solution That Will Take Decades To Achieve Political Will To Implement

This remains just absolutely remarkable.

FRANCE UPDATE: The near-final list of candidates who are in the French runoffs is out. Two days ago, 311 districts were going to have 3-way or 4-way runoffs. Then, 200+ candidates dropped out to block far-right. So: There'll be "just" 91 such runoffs this coming Sunday.

Having looked at the details: Decatur, Georgia, you’re up right now, they are actively recruiting there! Mineola, New York, you’re on deck, they’ve got you listed but flagged as ‘not yet recruiting’. The intranasals look to be our best hope(s) for a sterilising covid vaccine, so this is important!

Want to sign up to participate in the clinical trial for an intranasal COVID vaccine? They're taking 60 volunteers who have had at least one dose of vaccine. They're recruiting both people who've had COVID & people who haven't. Go here in for the details: www.clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT064...

Huh. If I'm reading this right, season 2 is going to be Season of Mists and Brief Lives, and they're merging Wanda with the character of Ruby from Brief Lives. That makes me think they're skipping over A Game of You entirely, unless it's going to be a stand-alone episode.

Sandman casting announcement. Including characters from Season of Mists, A Game Of You, a couple of one-shots, and (surprisingly) Brief Lives.www.netflix.com I didn't think we'd be seeing Jack Gleeson come back to acting!

Happy Fuck the Tories Eve to my UK friends

Rosalynn got to the afterlife and took out Kissinger, I wonder if Jimmy has his target picked already.

lets be honest, the toughest SOB holding a US passport is Jimmy Carter and it isn't close to close, one of the few people in history who went into a nuclear reactor came back out and nothing at all happened and now dude has lasted over a year in hospice, literal brain cancer cannot beat this guy

I took a five hour nap this afternoon and may very well go back to sleep

Oh, here we go. Free Speech Coalition v Paxton got granted cert by the Supreme Court. This is the case about the constitutionality of deanonymization and age verification requirements for adult sites. www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?...

Oooh, now this is interesting

How accurate is the weather forecast in your city? Niko Kommenda and I learned that NWS just began doing gridded assessments of forecast accuracy. We got the data and mapped of how many days into the future they get within 3°F of the observed high temp. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Get a TDaP booster if it's been more than five years and extra especially if it's been more than ten years! Pertussis (whooping cough) immunity wears off over time and it's currently circulating again! You do not want whooping cough!

@rahaeli.bsky.social I got my Tdap booster just now because of your reminders; thank you! 💪😊

Housekeeping note in case anyone wonders: having read a sampling of the legal filings in the court case about a situation in a thread I reposted earlier tonight, I have deleted the repost as I feel the thread is sufficiently misleading as to not want to keep the pointer around.

Well, that was fast. Injunction granted in Netchoice v Fitch, Mississippi's age verification, deanonymization, and mandated censorship law: netchoice.org/wp-content/u...

This is good analysis and also the last paragraph cracked me up, which I desperately needed.

It's not the big story of the day, but one thing SCOTUS has NOT ruined this year is First Amendment jurisprudence (well, at least re: free expression, and only if it doesn't involve IP...). So I wrote about what to make of today's decision in the NetChoice cases: www.techdirt.com/2024/07/01/i...

In The NetChoice Cases, Alito And His Buddies Are Wrong, But Even If They Were Right It May Not Matter, And That’s Largely Good Newswww.techdirt.com I was worried after oral argument in the NetChoice cases that we were going to get a mess of a decision. Maybe it would give us the right result (the Florida and Texas laws remaining canceled), but…
