palpatine is trans the way that jd vance is trans and not in the way that jd vance fucks couches

[poking the senior commissioned officers] c’mon do something #uspoli

legalize women consensually harming each other tbh

After being in Tampa last week, the seasonal overcast weather on the Lower Mainland has me in a *mood* today.

dawg i don’t have time for more lizza/nuzzi gossip the first day back from US Thanksgiving

...how is this a 1A issue? as far as i know, students getting marked by TAs are free to speak their mind. getting a bad mark is not a 1A violation?

it must be nice to believe you have no responsibilities

Worth remembering now Protest by the United States Against Attacks by Japanese Naval Forces on Survivors of Torpedoed American Merchant Vessels June 1944 "The United States Government protests most emphatically against this inhuman form of warfare ..."

“If you saw this happening anywhere else in the world, you'd call it the opening phase of a failed state.” “Unless you're watching the news for several hours a day, it's impossible to keep track.” “All those second amendment tyranny resisters are suddenly silent.”

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

having an interest in numismatics is so annoying. what do you mean there’s a banknote of the japanese yen that’s only popular in okinawa? why does that mean i want to go there?

The Canadian really should restore a flag stop at Port Coquitlam. There’s already a platform and everything.

you *WILL* get that sentimental feeling.

There’s the defensive big play they needed the last three weeks #GoBucs #NFL

Baker is starting, what a legend #GoBucs #NFL

Wow, it’s almost like there was a reason for British Columbia to be at the table. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

yeah AI Ben Garrison is incredible

Correct. Do not memory-hole the fact that Marin County was the antivax capital of the country before Trump.

we’re at the point where i’m starting to cautiously adopt LLM-based coding tools in my personal workflows a brief thread of the tools i’ve started using:

I am once again contemplating how the most fantastical plot element in “24: Day 5” was the President of the United States being publicly arrested for his many, many crimes.

I've extracted the generic atproto/oauth code from @dropanchor.app into a new standalone SPM package that any iOS app could use to do OAuth (BFF re-use backend cookies style) and basic atproto like dealing with facets. I plan to use this for the upcoming @kipclip.com github.com/tijs/ATProto...

I think I'm finally getting better at shorts? This one argues that Democrats need to go on the attack when opponents run anti-trans ads against them. youtube.com/shorts/4Mwsg...

AI is cool Robots are cool Self-driving cars are cool Lab grown meat is cool mRNA tech is cool I’m sorry change is scary

this is unintentionally the funniest thing i’ve read in my entire life

outing myself as (southern) USAmerican by asking for “sweet tea”

TFW you know you’re not even gonna make it to the Hague

Bluesky discourse around @protopro.blue

also, the distance between horror and wonder in the mind is not a canyon

how is your response to seeing auto-oriented infrastructure (the sidewalk is too small) and something that decreases the number of cars on the road (the robot) and think the problem there is the fucking robot

I’m Danielle Smith, and this is Jackass #cdnpoli

Keynes's 1919 description of life in 1914 feeling uncomfortably resonant right now. Shame they were still rationing periods in 1919, this could be a bit punchier.

I don’t think the Village of Anmore (Population 2,533) should have this much influence over Metro Vancouver (Population 3,108,926) #bcpoli

I love how Mr. Garcia merely attempting to explain a different worldview than his own has provoked such fury

Do you really think someone would do that? Just go on the Internet and tell lies?

Why would you give someone else a better upgrade and make everyone happy when you could instead piss off multiple customers with status

“I’m actually expressing my support for criminal acts of sabotage because of *multiple* political causes” does not seem like a particularly strong defence

I have been in transit for ~20 hours and am ready to [redacted] the person next to me using the airport lounge as a fucking phone booth.

Liberal Currents will never hand it to a man likely to kill untold number of children with his anti-vaccine anti-science crank activism from HHS. We will never throw trans people under the bus to score political points. Help elevate our voice to compete with The Atlantic’s gofund.me/bc470b67b

Time Magazine quoting a @thebeaverton.com article about the US shooting a "patriot missile" at Parliament Hill like it's something Pete Hoekstra actually said might be my favourite moment of the week. Congrats, @ianmmacintyre.bsky.social, you very serious reporter! www.cbc.ca/news/world/b...

aspirational

me and who

Anecdotally, the normie lefties in my life have responded to the Carney pipeline plan with "It needed to be done" and "It's good politics and won't get built anyways" which is kind of telling, imo

Introduce yourself with five animals you have seen in the wild: - Alligator - Black Bear - Deer - Manatee - Red Squirrel

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

“Philip Klotzbach, a meteorologist at Colorado State University, said this hurricane season was highly unusual and ended with above-normal activity.”

After an unusual season, hurricane experts seem confident that their annual forecasts hit the mark on Accumulated Cyclone Energy – a measure of overall tropical activity.

"i was politically aware under bush 2 and i still remember it" seems like an incredibly niche position. having a long term memory makes you a freak in political discourse just as much as seeing the future would
