As an older tech person, it's legit heartwarming watching the TikTok generation discover why we all hate Oracle.

man if only there was somebody in charge of whipping the democratic caucus into shape before a vote. if only they had had a giant caucus meeting wednesday to discuss this.

dangerously addicted to ufo 50's "party house"

it is probably because they are responding to their earlier errors by taking positive action now, which helps defend their neighbors, rather than by retroactive reputation management in the Atlantic, which does not

here's my thing: if a regular person changes their opinion, fucking awesome. i will never give them shit. very low bar. large account on bluesky? medium bar, eat some crow maybe paid pundit: extraordinarily high bar, must eat a lot of shit judge/cop/elected official: resign and go away forever

a thing about the ye apology too and people saying like "okay but i have had mental health issue and never got racist" is like....again i dunno from bipolar but mental health issue boundaries are not clean like a virus & some mental health shit makes unwanted evil awful things pop into your head

Ye has an album coming out Jan 30 so on one hand I'm skeptical as hell. On the other hand, I know my deep deep love of the music he made when i was younger biases me, but I dunno, I'm inclined to like....I dunno, this feels like the right way to begin to apologize to me and I respect that.

Called my Congresswoman (Democrat) and asked if she still supports Minority Leader Jefferies after the bullshit with the aprops bill passing last week and they said they "understand my irritation" and the word "irritation" set me the hell off.

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.

Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post. A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

fuckin YUP I am

It's not just that these professional politics observers somehow failed to spot the obvious rise of American nativist thuggery. It's how much energy they devoted to arguing the real problem was the volume, tone, and vocabulary of those raising the alarm about it.

I was complaining to my wife yesterday that as much as I've been a reliable blue voter the entire 25 years of my adult life, the fact that Democrat Insiders are always picking people like Joe Rogan & Fetterman when they wanna appeal to straight white guys, it's crazy insulting. They ARE elitists!

I made chicken tinga and a pot of black beans today they are good as hell. The black beans are these chiapas land race variety from rancho gordo and they're fuckin perfect

Democrat leadership and liberal media know nothing but be transphobic, bomb Gaza, act as middleman to tech companies, eat shit and lie.

1. Love to see this from KAT. 2. Amazing that the issue that's finally bringing athletes and pop stars back into politics is the same one the DC consulting class said to avoid at all costs. 3. More, please.

Imagine the stuff people are writing before hitting Cancel

I don't understand what the midterms really accomplish that we can't do now. Unless Schumer is saying he'll number the filibuster, which he is not and is on the record opposing, there's no way to get a supermajority this fall and Trump will still have veto power. I legit am asking, not being snarky.

The thing about being a leftist (ugh) or socialist or red or whatever so many of us are is it's not BECAUSE we're mad, it's because we love people and community!!! The anger is only at the motherfuckers who won't let us live that love!!

it's equal parts great and bizarre to see someone in office who seems genuinely proud to be a public servant

I said a quick hello and brief chat with a neighbor this morning and I will say that thinking about community and neighbors and stuff right now doesn't negate the rage and terror but it provides a very effective counterweight to balance it against

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

I know this is very far from the worst thing to come out of all of this, but there's something so sad in the miniscule detail of this tragedy forcing someone to fact to explain Asmongold to Mr. Goats

"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution

Hard fucking day but we are going to win.

Minnesotans are showing the soul of the United States to the world.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

People got so uncomfortable about that Ta-Nehisi Coates quote about how if you didn't draw the line at Gaza, you can't draw the line at democracy

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

When the Right discusses firearm ownership as a defense against tyranny, they are envisioning a COVID vaccine card, not a liberal dead at the hands of the state

Hearts out twin cities, hearts out everyone

"I'm not asking for the world here..."

it is worth staying off the lists if the lists are small enough to be actionable; it is worth intentionally getting on the lists if the lists are too large to be fit for any purpose whatsoever

means testing for public benefits is a fucking scam

We’re gonna make it after all

I've been lucky enough to have made a lot of visits to Minneapolis for work over the years, and even luckier to never have to face what the people in this city have. What an incredible place, nothing but love for ya'll frozen maniacs.

Over 100 priests have been arrested in Minneapolis for protesting ICE. They gathered to demand airlines to cease contracting deportation flights to DHS.

Mom, if I create enough noise, my friends can get away Mom, if I create enough noise, my friends can get away Mom, if I create enough noise, my friends can get away

When I became politically active in my teens in the 90s I moved away from "nerd stuff" cuz it was either anarchists or libertarians everywhere and seeing people like Technology Connections who does incredibly fascinating YouTube Videos also come on here and interact with big tough issues with

It's so funny that we (hetero dudes) are so afraid of carrying purses we had to invent "messenger bags" and "every day carries"

this is still the funniest thumbnail on youtube

like yeah motherfucker it's not like we're mad you have a big forehead or something. buying a piece of construction equipment to commute to your email job is stupid. you are stupid

I don't know this comedian but I'm guessing from this joke his grandpa really hated being drafted into the American Army during WW2

I am very much looking forward to this program.
