Threads post from library_book_wyrm saying I don't want to rain on this parade and it's truly great that they gave Connor a good coach and he worked his ass off, but I would have liked to see the same energy given to Shane's identity. In the show, we still don't know what part of Asia his family hails from! He's just "Asian Canadian" and it feels unbalanced. With reply from alizeusbff saying I think this was on purpose since in the book he was Japanese and Hudson is Korean. Also, I saw an interview with Hudson saying something to the effec of that he wanted it to be ambiguous so as many people as possible could relate to it.

Text by doctor, retweeting Jake Scott MD on X. 1/n More MAHA pseudoscience and gaslighting DHHS. Look, it's simple: In 1980s we vaccinated vs 8 diseases: diphtheria tetanus pertussis measles mumps rubella polio and possibly flu. When I was a pediatric house officer in Boston I admitted kids weekly for bacterial meningitis Jake Scott, MD @ @jakescottMD • 7h There are multiple issues with these statements by our FDA commissioner. @ x.com/
Facebook reply that says: I know you hate it and I totally get your perspective. It's terrifying, but there are also so many incredible outcomes associated with it. Many of us will lose our jobs, some of it is plagiarism, but definitely not all of it. Numerous novel medical therapies, climate solutions, and poverty solutions will come from it. It is unfortunately energy intensive but globally we are genuinely on the cusp of unlimited renewable energy. This podcast is chock-full of great things Al is doing. https:// www.hbs.edu/environment/podcast/ Pages/default.aspx. It's not all good but it's not all bad. One thing is certain; it's not going away. Then the first part of my reply: I'm not terrified, I'm livid that people are just going
A view out a glass door into a front garden that is mostly dirt with some splashes of poppies and potted plants. An adult male quail is seen between the wooden posts in the porch handrail, in the middle left and a bunny is seen in the upper right corner of the photo, looking very camouflagey.

A selfie of a white cat with tabby striped spots on her face and back is sprawled sleepily across the chest of a white woman with brown hair, with the right part of her face and part of a blue “Read” shirt showing. Her arm holding the camera is visible, and the woman’s other hand is visible, scritching the cat’s side.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: And, Greta, could you talk about how you see the issue of Palestinian freedom connecting to or intersecting with the issue that you're best known for, which is climate change activism? GRETA THUNBERG: Yeah. For me, there is no way of distinguishing the two. The phrase “We cannot have climate justice without social justice” is highlighted in blue. The reason why I am a climate activist is not because I want to protect trees. I'm a climate activist because I care about human and planetary well-being, and those are extremely interlinked. For example, when we see the genocide in Gaza, of course, there are some very obvious links, that ecocide, environmental destruction is a very common method used in war and to oppress people. But also, it should be much simpler than that. No matter what the cause of the suffering is, whether that is CO2, whether that is bombs, whether that is state repression or other forms of violence, we have to stand up against that source of suffering. And if we pretend to care about the environment, if we pretend to care about the climate and our children's future, without seeing and acknowledging and fighting against the suffering of all marginalized people today, then that is an extremely racist approach to justice that excludes the majority of the world's population.

Peter Gleick @petergleick.bsky.social It just occurred to me that if Canada and Greenland were made US states with Congressional and Senate representation (along with Puerto Rico and DC), the Republican party would never win another national election. Maybe Canada and Greenland ought to save the United States. March 12, 2025 at 10:20 PM

Excerpt from a Varga article Schmitt: Did they go crazy? Musk: [laughs/ Yeah, they did - they did go crazy. I mean that whole cancel culture and, you know, trying to, trying to stop freedom of speech, and um, infringe upon, just in general, infringe upon people's personal freedoms. You know, they just want state control, state control of what you say... They wanna, they wanna, you know, take away your guns, and the reason they wanna take away your guns, is like, so there's nothing you can do to oppose them. So it's sort of like, you know, I just, I just, I just like. We, we, we, we just need to restore the fundamental elements of what made America great, which is, uh, freedom and opportunity.

The words and letters associated with “queer” and “transgender” were wrongfully erased from this page to obey a hateful, felonious, fascist-wannabe clump of cells who happens to sit regularly in the Oval Office. He thinks he can erase history for his own narrative, but he is wrong. Transgender and queer people are here to stay and we will protect them with everything we have. Fix. It.
Screenshot from Philadelphia Inquirer article: The newest dystopian thriller that everyone is talking about these days is a little hard to swallow, even by Hollywood standards. The supervillain is an almost cartoonish sort: The world's richest man with a drug habit, 11 scattered kids, and a penchant for sleeping on couches (if at all). With his posse of young male tech groupies, he uses his billions to first buy the political discourse, then a greedy puppet president, and finally, through him, the levers of government. It's almost too late when the masses learn the villain's real purpose: To replace the flawed humanity of democracy with machines designed by an unaccountable tech elite. And the heroes of our story - a gaggle of activists, outsider journalists and mid-level politicians who realize the truth - are running out of time.

Screenshot of issue report to Google Maps. Text reads: When you noticed this issue, what were you trying to do? Find information about places Describe your issue The issue is that Google is bending the knee to fascists. An executive order isn't law. Don't obey in advance. The Gulf of America doesn't exist and pandering to billionaire lawbreakers makes you look weak.

"The progressive movement needs to change. We need to re-emphasize core economic issues every time some of these cultural war issues are brought up," Casar said. "So when we hear Republicans attacking queer Americans again, I think the progressive response needs to be that a trans person didn't deny your health insurance claim, a big corporation did - with Republican help. We need to connect the dots for people that the Republican Party obsession with these culture war issues is driven by Republicans' desire to distract voters and have them look away while Republicans pick their pocket."
Meme of browsers. It shows chrome icon saying “what are we?” To a row of Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari icons. All of them except internet explorer reply with “browsers!” Chrome says: what do we want? Everyone but explorer: more speed! Chrome says when do we want it? Everyone but explorer says “right now!” Last row is all the icons silent except for Internet Explorer belatedly piping up with “browsers!”

#NEVERSAYHISNAME Daughter of MLK and Coretta Scott King posted this advice as the next 6 months are going to "get real". 1. Don't use his name; EVER (45 will do) 2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone; 3. Do not argue with those who support him-it doesn't work; 4. Focus on his POLICIES, not his orange-ness and his mental state; 5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow; 6. No more helpless/hopeless talk; 7. Support artists and the arts; 8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it; 9. Take care of yourselves; And 10. Resist! When you post or talk about him, don't assign his actions to him, assign them to "The Republican Administration, or "The Republicans." This will have several effects: the Republican legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him or stand up for what some of them don't like; he will not get the focus of attention he craves.

Three panel black and white comic. First panel: a caricatures drawing of Trump with tiny arms shaking his fist says “I decide what is the TRUTH! I ALONE control what you can see and hear!” Second panel: zooms in on Trump as he says “Listen only to me! Obey me! LOVE ME!” Third panel titled “National Park Service”: a calm, smiling pony-tailed Parks service employee sits at a desk and says “Nope” as she taps a key on a laptop. The desk has the word “Badlands” on the front, with “ass” written in after the fact so it reads “Badass Lands.”
