You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

I need to remember to try Wireshark first and the documentation second. That was a couple of wasted days.

So just how would a general strike work in America? Asking for a friend.

It's too late for me; save yourself!

gonna make a movie about herman melville's tragic gay love for nathaniel hawthorne and call it humpback mountain

The kids are all right.

Edge from U2 poked his head in my office, looked around without saying anything, and went away again.

I got a Hillbilly Elegy. I break out in hives whenever Vance says something.

I want a loud, long, highly engineered, subwoofer-assisted FUUUUUUCK from Barad Dur as the ring slowly sinks into the lava.

Pippin should drop the f-bomb watching Denethor eat. You all know it, in your souls.

Christ on a bike, this is brilliant. And disgustingly historically accurate. 10/10

I'm not exaggerating when I say following @boltsmag.org rn will unlock money for our journalism. A generous reader, @russ41.bsky.social, has offered to donate $1 for every 1-person increase to our follower count. If you're not following @boltsmag.org yet, it'll directly help fund our reporting!

Used to be, when I was googling for medical info, I’d look for links to trustworthy sources: the CDC or the Mayo Clinic. Well, here’s hoping that the Mayo Clinic holds the line.

"White dinosaurs on a black background" is a bit unwieldy to used in a name, so I'll go with the coolest interpretation. Dinosaurs Victoria

If she's pardoned, does that mean she can be required to testify because it's no longer possible for her to incriminate herself?

Today marks the UK release* of @tkingfisher.com's latest book Snake-Eater, which (depending on how you define it) is her 50th book of fiction! In honor of this milestone I wanted to do a little retrospective of her 50 books

The president of the United States IS named Schicklgruber.

Everything but 9. My family had a 1938 Encyclopedia Britannica that my dad picked up at the annual library sale. His theory was that nothing really important had happened since.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'. Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy. [ HotGirlsforCuomo.com ]

A reminder: if you see someone shoplifting food, water, baby formula, diapers, tampons, etc. etc. NO YOU FUCKING DIDN’T.

I checked out the link and it's legit. If you need help, this could be a good place to start. via White Rose Resistance

Here's an idea: stop arguing over which SUSPIRIA is better and watch both. They're interesting films that handle the basic concept (which I won't reveal because fuck spoilers) in different ways. Plus, they both have good soundtracks. So unclench and sit down for a creepy Halloween evening.

Share a cartoon from the past of which kids today probably have never heard. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwgT...

I'm going to use the zombie analogy again: If you want us to survive the apocalypse - 1) we can't let people in the safe house who WANT to open the door to the zombies 2) the person who arbitrarily says we need to give up some of us to save the others also can't stay in the safehouse.

I just finished @sarahgailey.bsky.social's Spread Me (which is simply amazing), and this comes wandering along my timeline.

So exhausting..

The president of the United States is stark raving mad.

I have cancelled my subscription to Disney, and I have told them why.

I had a prophetic dream last night. I dreamed I was eating a potato skin.

Trans rights are human rights.

MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

This formulation is popular: contrasting SCOTUS' intolerance of race as an admissions factor with SCOTUS' tolerance of race as a detention factor. There are, in fact, doctrinal, historical, and logical distinctions between the positions, that one could use to dismiss this comparison. But... /1

Winky Dink and You, version 2. I hadn't realized there was a version 1 until I looked it up just now.

I heard the "WHOSE STREETS? OUR STREETS!" chant here, which always struck me as a little cringeworthy during more performative protests. It made me think about how those protests — which people complain are pointless — seem like good practice for actions like this, which accomplish something real.

These thugs are going to hell.

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

It looks like my attitude towards the police has changed over the past couple decades.

Last night, I got home a few mins before 9pm. By the time I was outside to walk the dog at 9:05, there were a dozen federal agents and local cops on the stairs and lawn of the house directly across the street from me. This is what the federal enforcement looks like in DC right now:
