Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Lots of buzz online about an upcoming major March heatwave for the American SW & California. And in this case, it does indeed appear increasingly likely than an extremely anomalous and even record-breaking heatwave may envelop much of the SW about a week from now.

Sports are a uniquely human endeavor. To not let trans folks compete equally is to deny their full humanity.

Guys this is not a bar for you to hang at and block. No one wants to be here. Not the employees. Not anyone. You are not special. Please relax. These teens are putting the fries in the bag as fast as they can with no end in sight.

A screenshot of the accessibility tab in my Bluesky settings, showing the alt text toggled on "require alt text before posting"

Btw alt text is also a fun place to shamelessly editorialize on your post and there ain't no character limit. Go ahead and share the Canterbury Tales here plus throw in a random Fuck or Shitass. It's a delightful pastime

Friends, please use Alt Text whenever you post images. It helps those with sight issues understand your sparkling captions & assists those of us who are hopelessly unhip in getting your references. Just toggle it in the settings for a reminder every time you share a bot mot, THANKYOUSOMUCH

I was explaining how, growing up in Texas, a Dr. pepper could be called a coke. RC Cola? Coke. Store band soda? Coke. It is no wonder they lag on the pronoun stuff.

A combat-unit commander told noncommissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God's plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was "anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth," according to a complaint by a noncommissioned officer.
From Saturday morning through Monday night, more than 110 similar complaints about commanders in every branch of the military had been logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).
The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations, the MRFF told me
