I feel like the current environment in the US merits @alcademics.bsky.social moving away from "clear ice" and towards "unmasked ice"

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

Me: Is it just me or is Costco's toy section a little smaller lately? My neighbor who works @ Costco: Well nobody wants to pay the tariffs so we're not re-stocking toys - just selling current stock. We're stocking way up on protein powders though cause no tariffs on those. Xmas is going to be fun.

Every single website allow me to open the site without getting a modal popover asking me to go through some tutorial on how to use the AI feature i don't want to use challenge. Level: Impossible (apparently)

Another win for "Fuck you. Make me."

Please come and join @deankotz.bsky.social and me on September 30th at 6:30 as we discuss our new Comic Book History of the Cocktail with the great Michael Ruhlman at P & T Knitwear (they sell books, not socks), 80 Orchard St, NYC. This will be lively. www.eventbrite.com/e/david-wond...

Destroy car dealerships and you save US democracy

If you’re looking for a video service that DOESN’T allow hate speech and misinformation, come on down to nebula dot tv and tell them Dave sent you

So excited! My copy just showed up.

Can someone please ask Marco Rubio if it hurt, like a lot, when his soul was ripped from his body? Cause I really need to know that it hurt.

I can't reply and normally that would mean that I wouldn't repost like this, but as a person diagnosed with ADHD in my 40s with two kids under 10 with ADHD, I have thoughts. My 9yo is unmedicated. My 6yo has been medicated since he was 3 because his impulse control was so bad he'd run into traffic.

I figured tonight while doing the dishes I'll be watching Sneakers because Sneakers is one of the greatest movies ever made.

"How you die does not redeem how you lived." 👏🏼

As someone who's house goes through an expensive 12 oz bag of coffee beans once a week, allow me to go scream into a pillow for an hour.

Look, all I'm saying is that it would be pretty great to see local 501st groups following the feds around and asking people about droids

RAPID RESPONSE PROTEST: Protest Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett Wed. 9/10 in Yorba Linda @ Nixon Library 8:30-10:30am (she will be there from 10-11 promoting her book 👎). Post everywhere! Details and optional sign-up here: www.mobilize.us/event/840822/ Via @ocindivisible.bsky.social

This is such a terrible and anti-democratic idea. The mayor of NYC should not need the support of the NYPD. There are pragmatic reasons why the mayor needs to have a working relationship with the police, but the NYPD doesn't get a veto over what voters want. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/n...

Justice Kavanaugh was the only Republican appointee to write anything on Monday. His opinion concurring with the order granting the stay, coming in at 10 pages, was at varying points racist, ignorant, privileged, lawless, or some combination of the four.

Leaving aside his contempt for taking domestic violence seriously, please remember that DHS has repeatedly argued that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a dangerous menace to the nation because of allegations of domestic violence. Is it not a crime? Or is it a crime so serious it merit deportation?

Axon’s AI police report writing tool is designed to not keep a record of which parts of a final report were written by AI and which parts were written by the officer. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Reminder: @propublica.org is still tracking how immigration agents use force when they make arrests. Do you have video or other documentation of forceful or violent arrests by immigration agents that we should review? Please reach out. email: [email protected] Signal: @nicolefoy.27

It would be a good idea to start publicly threatening to repeal the Hague invasion act when we're back in power, and those threats should start today. You want as many people refusing orders and leaking on each other as humanly possible

Miller is right! In most cities a small percentage of cops *are* responsible for the vast majority of abuse and corruption. Let’s prosecute them and get them off the streets!

In case you for some reason still care what Malcolm Gladwell thinks, it’s not too late to stop putting stock in his bad opinions.

Move fast and break things* *things may include: living, breathing, children

The mere presence of armed troops in a U.S. city to do routine law enforcement and is clear breach of long-established democratic norms. We have not been a country where people routinely see armed soldiers outside their windows. That they haven’t killed anyone yet doesn’t make this okay.

Mayor Brandon Johnson signs executive order banning law enforcement from wearing masks in #Chicago and requiring their agency and badge number be identifiable at all times

When Trump finally dies there will be calls for civility and “respect for the office” from even his harshest critics and I’m telling you right now I plan on saying things so harsh they might knock the earth off its axis

Fuck Gavin Newsom.

Apparently I am the only person that will not be satisfied with anything less than a sobbing march to the gallows. I know I'm not going to get it, but I have standards.

When I was going through background for my job at the PD in 2003 the investigator complained that nobody knows their neighbors anymore and told me that several of my neighbors were just hugely suspicious of him. That being said...

So Newsom says that crime is at historic lows, and that is why we need to now blanket the state in a massive show of force by state police. That's certainly not an argument an authoritarian federal administration that is looking to occupy liberal cities will latch onto. 🤦‍♂️

So if IIRC before/during the first Trump admin Yglesias said that Democrats should 100% cave on voter ID. And now he thinks they should cave on vote by mail. We're - what - 3 years away from Evil Bald Matt suggesting Democrats should cave on literacy tests/poll taxes/women's suffrage?

Kudos to @alcademics.bsky.social on his upcoming Halloween costume.

If something happened to be daughter and in response I was told that she is now "with the person who loved her the most," you could not hold me legally liable for what I would do next.

Sam Altman should go to prison for this. Forever.

YouTube is secretly using AI to edit people's videos • Skin is being smoothed or sharpened • Features like ears are being altered • YouTube confirmed there's an 'experiment' on Shorts to 'unblur' and 'improve' clarity • There's currently no way to opt out (via BBC)

FUCK ME DO NOT DESCRIBE TRUMP'S PLANS IN THE HEADLINES WITHOUT NOTING THEY ARE ILLEGAL.

people who think this matters have ignored how Trumpism actually handles inconvenient stories. They simply pretend awful things done by their supporters weren't awful, weren't done, or weren't done by their supporters. you never hand the enemy points by condemning your own side.

I actually like the California flag but would not be against replacing it with something else. The California MOTTO on the other hand is a fucking war crime of cheesy bullshit and should be eradicated from our memories.

I will never forgive America for allowing this to happen. Never. www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

LOL, he blocked me, which is a shitty strategy to kill posts that alert people that you are posting disinformation. He is doing this systematically to others also. Folks, if you don't like being lied to, block: @thomaspayne.bsky.social

This has an ungodly number of shares for something that apparently to be entirely made up. The police report has been covered and doesn't say anything like this. www.wired.com/story/edward...

Yup, that frustrated me about every non-LA bit of coverage I saw: while it was serious and alarming symbolically on a national level that the guard and the marines were here, the real and present danger was (and is) ICE abductions and local police brutality, and the coverage wasn't about that.

Why are 90% of op-eds scolding liberals for the way they talk about threats to democracy rather than scolding conservatives for threatening democracy
