Marco Rubio’s Family Values: Preventing Mahmoud Khalil From Witnessing His Child’s Birth β€œIt’s no longer about you,” Marco Rubio declared in 2023, describing the transformative moment of becoming a father. β€œIt’s the first time in my life that I have been r…

I wrote about Khalil being denied a chance to be with his wife while she gave birth to their first child, all because Marco Rubio says Khalil's "expected beliefs" may be bad. I found multiple examples of Rubio talking about how important "being there" is for fathers. www.techdirt.com/2025/04/22/m...

Another great post which I unfortunately once again cannot take credit for.

I can contribute one thing, however. I am an example of the counterfactual to the post @timcushing.bsky.social criticizes. I'm at least as conservative as I am liberal, yet here I am.

Stop what you're doing and read this. Stop right now. It's worth it, trust me.

@cathygellis.bsky.social with an absolutely brilliant piece as an open letter to Chuck Schumer, who recently failed to meet the moment.

Meta has told employees that they're laying off 5 percent of staff on Feb. 10, sources tell me & @mikeisaac.bsky.social @sheeraf.bsky.social. Layoffs are coming after employees have pushed back on new content moderation rules.

Advice from someone who has written books before: just start writing. Your brain will tell which ones to write at which times.

The AfD just had three members arrested for plotting a violent overthrow of governments in East Germany to install a Nazi regime.

Diving into any discussion about a state Supreme Court somehow being able to say those words outloud is something my psyche just couldn't handle. This wasn't restraint.

It was self care.

Amazing! We just passed 1000 backers and 80% of our funding threshold... with just 12 hours to go. Holding out hope we can find that other 20%...

If you haven't yet, *please* check out our campaign.

One Billion Users: The Social Media Card Game A competitive card game to build the biggest and best social media platform

Alright folks, I apologize in advance if I'm going to be annoying about this, but TODAY is the LAST DAY to get us over the Kickstarter threshold for our game, & people last night were telling me how they only just heard of our amazing One Billion Users card game. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mma...

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

One of the fun things I've noticed over the past couple of weeks is how much less posts I'm seeing on Twitter, and how much more posts I'm seeing here. It's like watching a migration in real time :)

Posting things like this w/o linking to whatever the source material is is both absurd and a reputation torpedo. I can't find reference to Musk/Ramaswamy outlining this anywhere at all....
