SIGH

And the grift goes on

Overheard from a group of four guys on the subway: “Yo, why are you doomscrolling? You’re with the bros”

Rep. Aisha Gomez: “To look at people standing up against ICE and see ‘paid protesters’ says nothing about us and everything about you.” “That you cannot conceive of us loving our neighbors so much that we would actually do something for them.”

The only way to cover this is to say plainly, repeatedly, and pointedly: Trump is knowingly lying about what the intelligence says, about what happened, and he's doing it in an attempt to change election rules in his favor. This isn't analysis. It's demonstrably true.

Trump's declassified election intelligence pretty clearly shows that China *could have,* but didn't, meddle in the 2020 election to help Biden win. But that Russia *did* meddle to help Trump win.

This is amazing-- a page of Mi'kmaq hieroglyphs or gomgwejui'gasit, with their meanings in Mi'kmaq and some in English; these were written by a Naskapi-Innu man named Gabriel in the 1790s.

Amazing that this man can perfectly execute both of the Great New York Expressions - Italian AND Jewish

Popped into the local indie to pick up a couple of books I had ordered. I'm not sure @carrielaben.com needed to go quite to this level with the publicity stunt, but there's certainly no denying that the title seems topical. (And I am so very intrigued about Botis.)

DITKO!

You know the best way to check if eggs are fresh? Pop them in some water - if they float they're no good and should be disposed of; if they sink, they're fine. All of which leads me to wonder whether eggs are, in fact, tiny witches.

Doug Ford is dangerous. #onpoli #cdnpoli

Yesterday Toronto had worst air quality in the world. Ford has cut 184 M from forest fire budget and spent 452 M on advertising! Don’t buy that he’ll ‘spare no expense’ fighting these fires his track record shows his true priorities! More on tonight’s OShow Scandal Panel #Onpoli

I’m continually shocked how little anyone is discussing OpenAI’s direct risk to the future of Oracle - especially as Oracle stock is so crucial to the paramount/WBD closing in September! Also: this situation is one that’s uniquely resistant to bailouts as Oracle’s stock is valued in vibes.

Excessive LOLOLOLOL AI isn't like moving from horse + cart to a Ferrari It's moving into a palanquin: inefficient, a sign of conspicuous consumption from pretentious asshats, movement at the expense of and carried upon the pained backs of stolen/uncompensated labour mostly in the global South

Hey @mark-carney.bsky.social say that part again about climate action not being economical? "It would have been too expensive for Canadians. Canadians who are already struggling with affordability."

28 years of cyclosporiasis testing Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. All are back because of this science denying administration.

Yeah, pretty easy to see where the idea of angry gods came from.

California is debating legislation right now that would ban all ICE employees from ever being hired by a public agency for life. This is good and next year's Democratic House needs to provide a full roster of ICE employees to help facilitate state efforts like this one.

Every single time I hear someone, shill, creative scab, corporate person, anyone, say anything about how AI improves our lives it just makes me want to make something crude and imperfect with my fucking hands.

Gender studies does a far better job of explaining the Trump administration than traditional political science, or economics for that matter

It's so weird how dumb assholes like RFK Jr. all into "survival of the fittest" theories always think it's about less genetic variety, when it's about more.

I mean, a federal judge just ordered formal sanctions against this nominee *this same week* What the hell are we doing here?

Hey Pete, how's the testosterone levels on those Russian Special Forces guys who conquered Ukraine in three days --*touches ear* -- wait I'm getting an update.

'you cant control what the reader thinks' incorrect. many readers show significant attitude improvement after being placed inside the pain colander

The thing is he thinks he sounds tough, but everyone else in the world can see not a man, but just a cartoon level of insecurity in a tie.

Air is so full of particulate that it smells like a campfire, looks like Hollywood colour-grading shorthand for "shithole country", and there's blur visible in things on the other side of the street.

*This is a great premise for a thriller movie, or maybe a thriller-heist jewel-thief movie, like with Cary Grant in a suit and Audrey Hepburn in sunglasses *Who wouldn't WANT to see those oligarchs robbed, especially some comically-evil right-wing Hungarians with repulsive American hench-people

I endorse this message.

Just woke up from a dream in which I was on a roadtrip with Falstaff around the American South. To distract himself from his gout, Sir John liked to travel from Waffle House to Waffle House, taking in the "full colour and majesty of humanity". I know exactly where that all came from, for a change.

Caring too much. That’s the curse of the working classes! davidgraeber.org/articles/car...

Well this is sustainable.

I've been very happy with audiobookshelf running in a container in my home lab, and serving me my audiobook collection wherever I am via Tailscale and the mobile app. And it was so easy to set up. So I decide to start messing around with calibe-web automated to get the same thing for ebooks.

Erika is one of the only state MA electeds ( @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social is the only other I know of, please direct me to others) saying this important stuff out loud and in public. We need more of this, Massachusetts.

The most anticipated mall from across the Atlantic has arrived! Excited for the end of the work day, so I can sink into @hookland.bsky.social and spend some time with Emily, among others.

Well, that's in my head until it cools off now. Damn, the stuff that got in there early is in there _deep_.

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

”abolish ICE“ means (1) abolishing a particular agency and (2) salting the earth so that nothing that does what it does can ever emerge again—no matter what it‘s called or who is in charge of it.

Ever since I was a little girl I always knew I wanted to go back to bed.

In space he's just Jay Hawkins.

show me a comic book page you love, no explanation needed

We’re living through the dissolution of the American system of government and it’s essentially gone unnoticed by the entire elite class, because everything Trump says takes on a patina of ridiculousness and unseriousness
