Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things.

Martinez ends her testimony with this: "If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

#birds #birbs #woodpeckers #nineinchbeaks sorry.

My thoughts are with the reporters today, and certainly not with the clueless media executives or the billionaires like Bezos who are too pigshit stupid to run a newsroom.

I want to throw a party. youtu.be/kiRwyt-33s0

Okay, campers, rise and shine and don't forget your booties, 'cause it's cold out there today! Warm yourself up by submitting to our CFP.

Heads up, Twin Cities pals. Next weekend is the LAST weekend to see Art Shanties. Tell me I sent you at the big submarine.

"moot is in the epstein files" is the completely true sentence that has finally convinced me this is all an extremely stupid simulation and that we're all being used to power a robot overlord's game gear or something

I will never, ever, understand why people enjoy this.

Kudos to the @districtcon.bsky.social team for fostering such a great space when everything feels so horrible. It may be sleeting and gross with the heavy weight of authoritarianism in the air, but in here? The community vibes are strong, and hearts are warm.

Woke Hoth. WOKE HOTH.

"We show up for the people who need us to bear witness, because it can't just be one group of people bearing the brunt of their tyranny. This is a struggle to protect our freedom and democracy, those things are on the line. He lost his life for those values."

i don’t care if the victim was unemployed, or a nurse, or a drug dealer. i don’t care whether they were armed or unarmed, “peaceful” or not. i do not accept the premise that a state has a right to uphold power over its people through violence, and neither should you.

Whoever you are, I imagine you are as furious & heartbroken as I am. We are living in time of baffling horror, a dark night of this nation’s soul. Whatever you do to push back this long night, I wish you Godspeed. Wherever you are, I hope you manage to hang in there, let the emotion out, & stay safe

our country was founded by outlaws

The continuing choices of semantics around the actions of we the people are insane. The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. To reject the stories of people experiencing this. And to be ok with it. And to calm down, dont resist it will be over soon.

Where to start with how unbelievably fucked up your alleged training is then. Have you no fucking decency.

There is absolutely zero way to sanewash a public execution in broad daylight. Don't let them.

Revisionist history attempts with all this technology we all have access to may not end up well.
