I'm not sure how much that matters anymore given they don't think we're human for reasons completely divorced from citizenship

Gonna start doing this

I'm appalled by how the American electoral system is a fucking black hole of money and value

Your rulers are rogues And cronies of thieves, Every one avid for presents And greedy for gifts; They do not judge the case of the orphan, And the widow’s cause never reaches them. —Isaiah 1:23

I've been hassling w onboarding for 2 weeks and start on Monday

“Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency,” Judge Biery continued. “And the rule of law be damned.”

Work starts Monday for me St Martin de Porres pray for me I am so anxious

What do they care what Episcopalians are doing, aren't they not in communion with Rome and that's the whole point?

As a rape survivor from both my childhood and adulthood I don't think I have a favorite genre of Epstein email actually! What!

okay but democratic voters want to abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who works for it, so

"The Sea is a Good Place to Think About the Future" by Los Campesinos or "The Ballad of the Costa Concordia" by Car Seat Headrest

they're calling him ellen de genocide

As Latinos we need to have a serious discussion about the sheer antipathy so many Latinos have to immigrants who came literally any later than they did. Not a phenomenon unique to any immigrant group but holy shit is it maturing in a horrifying and rotten way here

Wrt recent ski jumping Domen becoming completely anal about his equipment bc his personal hell is being dsqed is the funniest shit ever. Wouldnt even let the guys lift him after winning the world championships bc he didnt want to stretch any seams

I got that job btw

My dad asked me what builds were most successful in ski jumping (if being very tall was an advantage or if the weight counteracted that) and I needed to pull this Kamil photo from deep in the archives

Department of Herod Security: on December 25, King Herod the Great became aware that the international crime syndicate Comitatus de Alexandria was recruiting newborn children in Bethlehem. Officers investigating fired several defensive shots at dangerous children, neutralizing the threat.

I'm curious how you think we became a superpower like if it was just by shaking hands and playing well with others

Getting into Kamil Stoch lately

Genuinely had this reaction at the post office yesterday to my diploma

Isnt she nominally Roman Catholic too or something

Dennis Whitaker in The Pitt grew up Missouri Synod Lutheran imo actually

I'm anti-car but definitely pro- whatever this is

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Taika Waititi must be working long hours on his Alex Karp impressions

This sounds like a stupid thing to be so hyped about but just some unimaginably awful shit went down during my time in school (not the fault of said school at all. They have been incredibly generous and supportive to me). There were points I did not think Id live this long

The sleep deprivation stomach upset has subsided so obviously the next move is straighten my hair put on makeup and have a smoke. Need to look human for the oral exam

Mac is a generational poster

Eyeing the live ticker bc VPNs don't work on campus for some reason and I just cba to fix it until I'm home next week

I think I enjoy this top 10

It's not enough to say, "here's an approach that can solve a problem." You have to show it fully in real people's lives. That's what @annneumann.bsky.social does in this rich exploration of programs that keep addicted moms & babies together while moms get sober. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

How many writers on here have pretty heavily altered how they type in the months and years since ChatGPT became popular

Fork spotted in kitchen

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

Forming a Jurij Tepeš defense squad after today bc wtf did anyone expect him to say lmao

The US, England, and Russia all being different colors negates whatever point this was attempting to make btw.

Wait I forgot about this. Why are you using twink like a slur. Lol

ML applications are sometimes used in military settings to kill people, and by LE to racially profile, also, so I'm extremely critical of a lot of commercial ML applications. The new tool of the surveillance state

we are well past the point at which anyone who cannot identify bad faith like this is disqualified from commenting on it the girl and her mother are basically screaming THIS IS A BAD FAITH ATTACK ON TRANS PEOPLE at the top of their lungs and if you can't see that you're stupid or lying

May light perpetual shine upon her

This place may still be worse than Tumblr, gets my blood pressure up.

alright funs over we need to get everyone to trash their ring doorbells

More to the point we are not in active hostilities - it's just straight up murder. Killing non-combatants is a typical war crime. I think the issue is that some people might think there's a colorable argument for the first strikes whereas the second strikes on wrecked ships are straight up illegal.

It means that your parents or surrounding adults talked about him a lot and you formed your political identity from them lol I don't really understand why you are so deliberately dense. Not everyone's political identity draws from a specific current zeitgeist
