NYT Editorial Board: “There Has Never Been an Example of Presidential Corruption Like This. “Trump's corruption and subversion of democratic tradition risk becoming the norm.”

good lord

So cool that I can be called a tranny by cis person, but fuck me if I get upset by it -_-

@pussy.church suspended - completely ridiculous moderation. Just normal being trans on bluesky things.

The IRS leak that was the subject of Trump’s suit occurred in 2018-2020, when he was president. So, in effect, he was suing over what his own IRS did. Then he dropped the suit after he got his own Justice Department to give him a $1.8B slush fund to reward his thug army. What an outrageous scam.

Buc-ee's apparently thinks it owns the concept of anthropomorphic animal mascots who wear hats (h/t @anthonymkreis.bsky.social). They do not.

Problem solved.

US attorney for SDNY Jay Clayton defends Trump's taxpayer-funded J6 slush fund: "I don't think we're gonna be talking about this issue in a week because the American people are gonna say, 'Look, they leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him. Okay, we resolved that.'"

So campus speech. Much viewpoint diversity. Very marketplace of ideas.

How did a Facebook meme cost a TN county $835k? 💬 Former cop Larry Bushart shared a meme to Facebook featuring Trump’s "get over it" quote in response to a vigil for the late activist Charlie Kirk. Continued below ⬇️

TrueStory: at work, after 1st year (am EnterpriseSysArchitect), got departmental reviews, including this one from marketing: "We are really, really happy with CA, but would you please see if she can say 'fuck' less?" No. No, I can't.

TAKE MY MONEY!

my latest is on trump's "pecuniary presidency" (gift link)

MS NOW host Joe Scarborough began shouting about Donald Trump's $1.776 billion "slush fund" on Wednesday morning and hammered Republican lawmakers for saying nothing about handing out cash to Jan 6 insurrectionists who "beat the hell out of cops.

President Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act on this day in 1862. The law offered western lands to qualified settlers but also land loss for American Indians & environmental degradation. In this short article, I argue it was important for cohesion among early Republicans before the Civil War.

this is, yes, a very specific message to a very specific group of cis people but hey we are overrepresented on this app so: when your otherwise well-meaning friends say they don't understand being trans the answer is "you don't have to"

He is a convicted felon, a rapist, a scammer, a liar, and mean.

This is interesting. I was accused of using AI for a photo because "mushrooms don't grow in the desert". Pic was from White Sands, which is basically an IRL science fiction location. Am now preemptively adding "no Ai" to attempt to forestall accusations.

Ouch!

There is a trivially simple solution: kagi.com It's a real search, without ads, and you need to pay for it for anything other than incredibly casual use. BUT...they have their own indices and it's a functional general-purpose SEARCH ENGINE, the first in a decade. Pay $10/month and get results.

#wtaf Just checked on Steam and this is real.

I have a case right now where a child - a LITERAL CHILD - was segregated from the other children in their elementary school because the parents of the other children said they didn't feel safe around them. You know the ONLY reason given? Because this child was Muslim and 10/7 happened.

"dude you have to watch monogatari its peak!" the peak in question:

not sure if anyone is here at Bluesky. when I visit the site all is calm, unchanging; I have not had a single new follower in many months; exchanges are always interesting & intelligent but relatively few. Bluesky exudes the air of an upscale mall, beautifully maintained, hushed.

YES! Please switch to Kagi. You need to pay for it, but you get a real search engine b
