Everyone who was involved in targeting those boats did a crime, pretty much.

this is true and it’s shameful, so please go do some reading about the Great Migration www.smithsonianmag.com/history/long...

Introducing my new Cathy-themed indie band Clap Your Hands Say ACK!

So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate

All these formerly elite universities caving to the fascist demands of our corrupt reality tv fraud president are instantly devaluing whatever degrees they dole out in the future

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

This thing

Boko Haram kills more Muslims than Christians but it will be a cold day in Hell before any Trumpist gives a shit about that.

Replied to a post from one of my favorite authors and they responses with “k.” I’m going to go crawl into a hole forever now. Why am I so awkward.

These gen z overthrows are pretty interesting. After decades of historical/global studies, my first concern is whether the opposition groups can avoid military dictatorships or fundamentalist groups filling the power void. Would love to hear more from better regional experts.

@videodave.bsky.social just put out a new rap that captures a lot of the feelings and frustrations I think many of us are having right now. “This ain’t hiding time” youtu.be/sCjdKqaLnUY?...

The Trump administration’s deployment of ICE and others in the mass deportation effort has led to more violence and turmoil, and less safety and security for all, including US citizens. But that’s a feature not a bug. The chaos justifies further authoritarian crackdowns. The chaos is the point.

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

It is my last official day as a federal employee. Pretty bittersweet, but I’m proud of the work I did. Hopefully I’ll find a new job soon!

I need there to be karaoke version of @visionvideoband.bsky.social songs

My level of stressed is “listening to Mount Kimbie albums on repeat”

I asked my music nerd partner @arsenicpirate.bsky.social if he could figure out the time signature of story 2 by @clppng.bsky.social TURNS OUT SOMEONE DID A WHOLE VIDEO. I am losing my mind, this is so goddamn cool. youtu.be/Hyvv1oJAaSI?...

I need to share with you the most unhinged interview quote I’ve ever seen from the absolute worst smut writer I’ve ever encountered. As someone who reads terrible smut for comedic value, I could NOT finish her book. The clown to 9/11 transition kills me EVERY time.

@mike-eagle.bsky.social fucking kiiiiilled tonight. The energy was seriously incredible.

@clppng.bsky.social has got some of the filthiest beats I’ve ever heard, sweet Jesus.

Thank god I remembered to pack my loops! So excited for DC!

Please cross your fingers that I get more interviews this week.

I’m so tired but I keep just not going to sleep. Just sleep, me.

The only trustworthy information left on the internet either comes from Reddit or a page like this.

I think the point when I almost scream JUST PLEASE HIRE ME at my computer screen is when it’s time for a lil break. I’ve sent out a good dozen resumes and applications today…aaaagh

Another week of job applying begins! Another week of trying to be seen as a person by hiring officials. Not letting doom brain set in.

The fact that I've been applying to jobs since basically the election and I've gotten one single in person interview is just incredible. I just got rejected from that job today, a job I was actually really excited about. OH WELL! Two months until the DRP pay stops!

Everything Status: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

Job Search Status: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

I got to pet capybaras. This is the best birthday week.

Wild to grow up learning about the Holocaust and then watch our parents’ generation recreate that shit in the full light of day with absolute impunity.

Let’s take a look back at Bellingcat’s 2024. What did we investigate, how did we ensure our work created impact, and what lessons are we taking into the future? Find out in our latest Annual Report: www.bellingcat.com/app/uploads/...

Hi hello I am a geospatial analyst with 14 years of federal experience and I am looking for a new job in the private sector! I love supporting innovative uses for geospatial technology, so if you or someone you know has an open position please get in touch! #gis #geospatial

So I know that weight is not the end all be all of health and I know I am worth more than my weight. Everyone should follow their own journey. Etc etc But I’m down to 252. It’s my lowest weight since 2015. For me, this is good. I’m taking better care of myself. Yay.

Just started reading Paladin’s Grace and can I just say that @tkingfisher.com has easily become one of my favorite fiction writers. From horror (The Hollow Places is amazing) to fantasy (Nettle & Bone wow) I am so impressed by her range.

Someone said shop local bc otherwise teenagers first jobs will be in an Amazon warehouse instead of an ice cream shack on the beach and now I can't stop thinking about that

Getting ready to sing some @illuminatihotties.bsky.social at karaoke and just found out THEYRE COMING TO TAMPA!!!!! FUCK YEAAAA

Going the empathy and compassion route while realizing that compersion I just not natural for me yet. I guess this is a type of growth. Trying to pause a little when the feelings of fear and dread flood in.

I know compersion is optional, but boy do I still feel like a shitty person when my partner is happy about something and I’m struggling.

Here’s how we found the identity of a key figure behind MrDeepfakes —one of the largest providers of non-consensual deepfake pornography in the world. Our latest investigation is out on YouTube now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTMa...

Absolutely batshit and shameful behavior

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Tomorrow is my last day at my federal job. 14 years, my first career after grad school. I’m glad I am leaving on my own terms, but sad at the context. I have to believe there’s a better chapter waiting for me.

This is our story. Our government has thrown away a whole host of talented analysts because of nothing more than bigotry.
