The ICE official "noted that the case was important to someone close to the White House. The woman, Amanda Ungaro, was placed in ICE custody and ultimately deported."

Huh.

Here is Naftali Bennett, former Prime Minister and likeliest next Prime Minister of Israel, saying *explicitly* that the Bedouin-Palestinian citizenry of Israel is an existential threat to the Jewish nature of the state, and he even went as far as to imply that they'd do an Oct 7th style attack.

i have no inside knowledge but this has the vibe of the villain in a thriller executing one of the hostages just to discipline the rest

We have ceded the moral high ground on Nazism. Well done, everyone!

Stunningly bullshit framing on this NYT story that insists that somehow renewables are a dicy unpredictable thing and downplays that they're far, far cheaper most of the time by focusing on how they're not always. As is often the case with the NYT, comments smarter than article.

Listen, Sean's from Maine and I'm not going to tell people from Maine how to vote. This is their election, and I get why people are gravitating toward Platner. But I don't think Platner should be a U.S. Senator and I think his candidacy is bad news for Democrats broadly.

It's almost like this was a very foreseeable and obvious problem that Democrats didn't have to saddle themselves with. You might call it an unforced error.

it's hard not to keep coming back to the fact that they could simply have Not Done This they could have not bombed Iran! the strait would be open! we wouldn't be staring down a massive global economic crisis! none of this had to happen!

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

can it be closed down sooner

And he didn't even get rich off it like Alfred Nobel

The Metaverse.

Here's the thing: there is no going back to a different era of Twitter. This doesn't replace it, Threads doesn't replace it, Twitter doesn't replace it. That era is dead, no return, it was a very fun 5-10 year window or so that dragged on past its prime until it dropped off a cliff.

As a long-time Regional Connect Pass user, I've created a quick flowchart to help you purchase the new Regional Day Pass. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple!

Who the hell owns ProPublica anyway, the Ellisons?

PinkNews says it is moving "away from having a reporter-led newsroom" and there "isn’t a need for the reporter role.” Not sure what that could possibly look like, but ok

One of the most enraging aspects of any Republican presidency is how everybody in media has to just completely suspend disbelief and pretend to be complete fucking morons. It's this collective, mass self-delusion that really fucks with one's psyche.

next time someone from the Trump administration says "no one could've predicted this" remind them that the dumbass trump take egg guy from bluesky predicted this

It’s good to be a rich white man in Mississippi

RIP to the stupidest meme of 2005, I'll always remember the time that everyone from Gandalf the Grey to Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan kicked your cowboy ass in the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

This rules. 🐺

A whole lotta crash-outs & mask-offs going on lately

This is amusing. A reminder Craig Brittain was fined by the FTC for setting up both a site where he asked people to send him non-consensual naked images of their exes AND a fake "lawyer" who you could pay to get your images taken down. www.ftc.gov/news-events/...

they put the fucking thing in the constitution, that’s how important the postal service is, but you never see the We Revere The Founders types mention that bit

it is the postal SERVICE not the postal BUSINESS thank you for your time

People keep saying the Constitution was set up specifically to stop tyrants and mad kings, but the thing most of the notably unusual features of our Constitution were actually designed to do was protect slavery.

the startled cackle i just let loose upon opening the link

you don't have to get mad at people who say bluesky isn't the right app for them. it literally doesn't matter

Creepyslopsta

Mick Foley quit the WWE to post social media videos reminding us to hold the administration accountable for their crimes against immigrants.

Can PA bully him to the point where he resigns

it's going to be extremely funny if trump destroys the trump family flight to the gulf which will occur after he croaks and there's no one to protect them

I largely agree with this, and I truly hate it. Twitter should have been treated like the public utility it became. That ship has sailed, and I don’t know the answer.

This is Adrian Vermeule of Harvard Law. The important thing to note here is that all of this is made up. None of the distinctions and arguments Vermeule makes are in the 14th Amendment or anywhere in the U.S. Constitution. He's just making things up based on his own ideology and prejudices.

"did you know the USPS is losing money" no I didn't know and I still don't care do you know how much money your president has lost you since January

one of my most intractable and strident positions is that i absolutely don’t give a single fuck how much the USPS costs, expand their services so that it costs double, you’ll never get me to give a shit

happening now: a group of interfaith leaders + immigrant/worker rights advocates are holding a press conference in evanston to demand a local real estate company scrap plans to lease a private prison to ice. the event is part of a nationwide day of action against chicago-based highlands reit.

this idea that asking an AI about itself is the best way to learn about it is an annoyingly persistent idea that I want to die

Gen Z Republican men are obsessed with "gooning," slang for obsessive masturbation. Why the fixation? Well, because their misogyny is poisoning their ability to date like normal people. Gooning isn't about fun. It's got an undercurrent of anger. www.salon.com/2026/03/20/f...

i suddenly own, and have strong feelings about, a lot of japanese pencils. at least (in disturbing contrast to fountain pens, of which i bought several last year) the most extremely deluxe ones cost maybe $2.

“The State’s Attorney cannot represent the people of Cook County while turning a blind eye to egregious acts of violence that federal agents have inflicted on them in her jurisdiction,” the petition reads."

"We should change the constitution via fiat because undocumented people give me the ick" - Shorter Adrian Vermeule

This type of "journalism" that drives me batty - mostly because it looks sort of investigative, but is really just a fishing expedition. The story doesn't detail how they S-T found out about the administrative error, but I can guess... they're probably not broadly studying improper exemptions.

This reminds me, I need to rewatch Widows. I only saw it in less than ideal conditions (a hospital bed)

Chuck Norris was a homophobe, a birther, and a gun nut. Just FYI.
