"This is a kids' game, and it's layering multiple currencies atop one another to obfuscate the cost of things, as well as using pop-ups, timer bars, and "buy" buttons to offer temporary boosts and, generally speaking, remove the game's in-built friction."

The Senate is now on recess until June. ~Among Democrats~ Most votes with Trump: Fetterman: 177 Shaheen: 140 Hassan: 139 King: 135 Fewest votes with Trump Markey: 2 Warren: 4 Murphy: 5 Sanders: 5 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

this is also an A+ comment lol

Update: the manager who this call was escalated to saw this and just texted me the customer's name, no other content in text. We will never forget

Los Angeles Magazine posted their newest cover, and it's AI slop. Nithya Raman looks nothing like the image. Deeply embarassing from an unserious magazine.

"it turns out that [index fund investing] cedes a great deal of power to the people who make the rules about what is allowed into the index." prospect.org/2026/05/20/e...

The girls spent weeks in and out of school, dealing with the trauma of their images being sexualized and shared rampantly by an AI nudify app. They were trying to get back to normal, but at school, they watched their harasser high five his friends in the hallways. www.404media.co/radnor-high-...

Listen, the reason The NY Times cares so deeply about college students is because that is where their creepo opinion columnists go to find their secondary & tertiary wives

A Florida wildlife biologist was summarily fired for *reposting* an Instagram joke about Charlie Kirk’s death. LibsofTikTok complained. A state official’s false statements in legal proceedings led to sanctions. And now the state will settle by paying her $485,000. www.aclufl.org/press-releas...

In a major step towards regaining public trust, the DNC has released its 2024 autopsy with the disclaimer that it was poorly done and you shouldn't trust it.

a very funny bluesky tendency is adamant defense of democracy paired with dripping disdain for voters

"A tribute to Michael Whelan" ...who has told you unequivocally to stop using his name in prompts. 🙄😮‍💨

Shame on all the Rs plus 8 Dems who just voted for a bigoted bill to harass trans kids by requiring parental consent before they can change their pronouns in school. The 8: Henry Cuellar Don Davis Cleo Fields Laura Gillen Vicente Gonzalez Marcy Kaptur Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Eugene Vindman

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

For as left wing as Bluesky is I think a lot of people remain weirdly disconnected from the fact that "Israel has committed genocide" is as close to a consensus position among actually existing Democratic voters as possible

Doordash shaming is actually a conspiracy from Big Dumb Phone, which is trying to end our precious apps, and thereby force people back into restaurants

Israeli fascist and minister of national security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, posted a video of himself on Twitter abusing the illegally kidnaped and detained members of the Global Sumud Flotilla while yelling “Welcome to Israel, we are the owners of the house".

every dead senator gets a thoughtful obituary lauding their “courage” and then if you look it up the courage was filibustering the Give Medicine to Cancer Kids act

49 years ago today In the City, ist the debut studio album by British mod revival/punk rock band The Jam, released on this day in 1977 and featured the hit single and title track 'In the City' #punk #punks #punkrock #inthecity #thejam #history #punkrockhistory #otd

Also feels worth mentioning that Todd Blanche is Trump’s personal attorney and he has not been confirmed as attorney general nor in his role as :: checks notes:: the acting librarian of Congress.

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

Breaking: the 1st circuit denied the emergency injunction request by the Rhode Island child advocate. As a result, Rhode Island children's will have to turn over medical records of trans youth to judge Reed O' Connor in Texas within the next 45 minutes. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge Reed O' Connor dared the 1st circuit to stop him and they backed down. They'd rather preserve constitutional order than stop the blatant violation of privacy by a forum shopped judge in Texas. O Connor will have access to the intimate medical records of trans youth in Rhode Island.

This guard also did more than the entirety of Uvalde PD did to keep children safe, without qualified immunity or bankrupting a city with overtime.

A summary of today’s revelations of treachery by RFK Jr.’s handpicked minions. In 11/2025, three doctors (Makary, Prasad, Hoeg) employed by the United States government told the world, with confidence, that COVID19 vaccines killed 10 children. We now have ironclad evidence that they lied.

Kinda hoping losing the loyalty of Cassidy and Massie turns this into an early lame duck but it won't because Democrats can't stop voting for GOP bills and approving their judges.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

This is Calarts. Arguably the best animation school in the US, its alumni include industry legends. The graduating class is booing school president Ravi Ranjan, he's been gutting creative programs and pushing Ai initiatives, corporatizing the school. His secretary is treating graduates like babies.

multiple things can be true at once: 1) there shouldn't be billionaires 2) since there ARE, it's interesting to see one spending money on being an ocean nerd in the name of science, instead of feeding us to machines and destroying democracy 3) valve's 30% cut of steam sales is too high

One of the Nazi terrorists who attacked a San Diego mosque obsessed about Muslims, Jews, women, Black people, gay people, trans people, immigrants, and being short.

JUST TELL ME THE FUCKING POST OFFICE HOURS JESUS CHRIST

BREAKING: The Senate confirmed Sheria Clarke to the District of South Carolina after she refused to say Biden won in 2020 and dodged questions about January 6. Durbin, Fetterman, Gallego, Hassan, Heinrich, Reed, Shaheen & Whitehouse voted to confirm her. nominationnotes.substack.com/p/eight-demo...

I’m sure it’s fine. Frank Bisignano— who reportedly oversaw a program at JP Morgan in the 2010s to spy on JP Morgan employees using software from Peter Thiel’s Palantir—is both the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration & the CEO of the Internal Revenue Service under Trump 2.0. 1/

A good resource for the alternative left and left liberal media would be one that explains how the Oslo framework of a Palestinian state is not really a Palestinian state at all but instead simply a revamped bantustan "Authority" called a state. Any serious two stater should be asked to reject that.

It isn't "racial pride." The manifesto, which I'm reading right now, is a total slop-bucket of neo-Nazi accelerationism with misogynistic rants and multiple sections that are completely unfinished. It lionizes Brenton Tarrant, who murdered 51 people in a NZ mosque in 2019. nymag.com/intelligence...

So, the @endofsportpod.bsky.social just got banned from TikTok, almost certainly for posts with Black Alliance for Peace calling for an anti-imperialist boycott of the World Cup. 🤔

First candidate for federal office to suggest doing the stupid meme

This is peak AI mania: identify a task that has long been well- and cheaply-handled by human beings, pay to use an LLM (which is ill-suited for the task), and be completely shocked when it goes disastrously.

a lot of people on here refuse to take the corruption of the Biden DOJ seriously just because it's fictional

Another thing you could do is maintain a public website listing the known offenses of, and proposed accountability measures for, this gang of criminals. It's just unconscionable to be mumbling about Affordability while we're watching a historic crime spree every day

If I were the opposition party I'd be saying anyone involved in creating this corrupt scheme will be prosecuted but also anyone accepting payments from it will at minimum be required to pay back the full sum with interest

The NYT removed the "um"s in Trump's answer on Taiwan, but put "um"s in AOC's answer on Taiwan to make her look dumb Trump said "Um, I would say 'like' is maybe too strong a word...um, no, I'm holding that in abeyance and it depends on China, depends, it's a, it's a.." L: Trump R: AOC Video below

This J6 insurrectionist was sentenced to life in prison for child molestation. He tried to keep his victims quiet by promising them a share of the millions he was going to get from Trump. Maybe he knew something we didn't.

I’ve been on this app since July 2023 and it has always consistently and enthusiastically supported Allen Iverson in every endeavor he takes on, not sure which Bluesky you’ve been looking at.

the president of the united states sued his own government for ten billion dollars and “settled” it by directing that government to use taxpayer money for a nearly two billion dollar slush fund to distribute to his political allies at will typing it out barely feels real

The only characteristic of Trump that I find personally relatable is his extreme contempt for evangelicals that support Trump
