Putting a pin in this for the first time a Bluesky group chat makes its way into a federal indictment.

some more glamour shots from pre-polishing and polishing I have some 0.25 micron diamond paste on the way that will really make it shine, but that will have to wait until I'm back from the talk I'm giving tomorrow

I haven't touched much grass lately, but check out this rock I've been touching (it will be a kinetic pendant eventually)

Being rural does not make someone inherently noble, and I'm tired of society buying into agrarian and *aristocratic* propaganda.

BE ABSOLUTELY NOT AFRAID

Air travel over Saint Petersburg, Russia, has been completely suspended. Attendees of the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum 2026 (SPIEF 2026), which is starting today, currently cannot reach the city by plane and are stuck in their home ports (Moscow etc.).

I give it six months before Bluesky mod starts "intolerant of viewpoint diversity" labeling for anti-fascism

To illustrate the humiliation Putin and Russia received this morning, I have added a map of Saint Petersburg, Russia. The strikes on the oil terminal and the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum 2026 (SPIEF 2026) are just 17 km (10.6 miles) apart.

Drone the fuckers

Definitely-not-institutionally-transphobic Bluesky moderation strikes again

I never thought there would be a reason to do this, but invoking ex-Catholic status: It is not even remotely bigoted to criticize the church institution or the Vatican state.

The "Loss" comic turns 18 today, meaning Republicans have finally lost interest in it

The part Aaron doesn't quote here from Mullin is scarier. After insisting he won't answer about hypothetical court orders, he then goes on to whine about activist judges who will get overturned, which seems like a pretty clear "I will ignore court orders I disagree with."

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

Becerra's response is carefully designed to be compatible with the UK Supreme Court's ruling that "trans people existing in single sex spaces is a form of discrimination" he is clearly open to the UK Labour strat of smiling and using progressive language while banning trans people from public life

Sigh I was googling the lyrics to Fuck Me by Wendy Ho because a queen sang it at the drag show last night and the AI thought I was trying to do necrophilia roleplay with it

I don't know why you would get a baby monitor JUST because you have a newborn infant, it makes no sense to me at all. Sure they start small too, but lizards grow very fast, and it will probably eat your child.

[ascendant cultural hegemonic voice]: star trek needs to go back to its roots and be apolitical like it used to be

the even more fun problem is, that because NL Wallet uses remote app attestation, it checks Googles servers for verification every time you use the app, meaning that Google holds a kill switch for our national ID wallet

The U.S. government handed a 3-year-old to an abuser to torture him to death, and then his mother was allotted one hour for his funeral.

Future historians: "Whereas Hitler was the product of decades of German resentment crashing against the realities of mechanized warfare and modern economics, Musk was Just Some Asshole."

this too is yuri

"We need to use the monopoly of violence of the state to" Sorry bud, anyone who has that power is a fascist, doesn't matter how blue their logo is, it will not be used to help you, only to harm you and protect The State and it's vile subhuman, rapist servants.

Fucking amazing developments over on the nazi site. Jimmy Concepts is now declaring all libertarians to be critical theorists and enemies.

We can always count on Bernie Sanders to make sure no one ever says no to the military again

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

It's hallowed Maine tradition that when the ageless alien monstrosity known as "Senator Oysterfuhrer" awakes from his slumber once every century or two, you let him devour an entire synagogue or three before he goes back to sleep, blessing the seafood industry in return.
