You can pretend to have your shit together if you want. They don’t really check

feel a sense of foreboding as i notice that notifications like this show up for me in an increasing amount of english-speaking locations i set my VPN to. at this rate i'm gonna have to learn portuguese so i can tunnel thru brazil to avoid this bullshit

"What if the Nazis won?" "What if the Confederates won?" "What if all the supervillains teamed up and took over the world?" Go ahead and delete every instance of "What if" and the question marks and you'll have some factual statements

if you're wondering why your trans friends everywhere are a little on edge right now, it's because a story about a radical conservative christian student abusing rules and processes to deliberately target a trans instructor consistently gets reframed to omit the entirety of the anti-trans bigotry

The President you voted for watched the murder of his 13-year-old rape victim’s newborn and you still want to debate where trans people can go to the bathroom. I'm about to piss on your coat.

People are dying inside American concentration camps right now. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...

american evangelical authoritarianism is just domestic abuse at scale

America is a culture of child abuse. Ask any survivor - we find one another, we form networks and communities. The true scale of it would stagger and sicken you, and so it is buried, it is swept under the rug, it is denied and the survivors are silenced by whatever means are necessary.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

This is 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social waving at himself through a Flock camera; one of 60 we learned was left exposed to the open internet. Not only could anyone with a link livestream it, but some admin portals were open with no login credentials required. www.404media.co/flock-expose...

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now. It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

Let's be clear here, Elon is using a neo nazi term to call for the ethnic cleansing of Europe.

to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.

Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition." A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.

Spotted a 60-something man on the beach reading Olivia Nuzzi’s “American Canto.” His wife is nearby. She has Mar-a-Lago face and is wearing a trucker hat that says “Sun. Yoga. Champagne.” She’s been watching a live cam feed of her front door on a comically large tablet for the last 20 minutes.

Where are the stories about the man? Is he also getting death threats? Are people questioning his ethics re the need to make a living?

this is PRETTY bad www.fda.gov/inspections-...

All the anti-trans stuff this week (really, this whole year and the past several leading up to it — but especially this week) has taken a real toll on me. I feel so sad, scared, and angry. I feel like I don't belong in this world, and that really sucks.

featuring platforming in a game where you can't jump #doom

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American. Two options: 1) ICE deliberately targeted him. 2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens. Hard to say which option is scarier.

in 2016 i was outside one night in chicago and heard screaming coming from every building around me, followed by people pouring out of every building into the street, still screaming. that’s how i found out the cubs won the series and i assume it will be how i find out that The Cool Event happened.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

To give you a sense of how big a departure this year, the government doesn't do this for wanted criminals.

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

WEALTHY WHITE PEOPLE ARE IN A CLUB THAT YOU ARE NOT IN IT TRANSCENDS INDIVIDUAL POLITICS

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors. The full requirements will end tourism in the United States. Below is the full, mind-blowing list. 🚨THEY. WANT. YOUR. DNA.🚨 1/

Alrighty then.

RFK Jr. version of Hatsune Miku Binder but he's got Puppygirl Brainworms instead

Importantly, this wouldn't have passed without Dem support. There was enough of a split within Republican ranks that if Dems had voted against the bill it would've been doa. Giving Trump a blank check to warmonger *and* passing an anti-trans measure was a choice.

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

"co-founder of Palantir, a company trying to literally invent the panopticon, calls for public executions" poor Michel Foucault, spinning in his grave right now

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

washington post reporter code-switching on twitter and bluesky like a key & peele sketch

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

I’m gonna be honest @jay.bsky.team, banning a side account that I made after this one was suspended due to me being scared for my husband who was kidnapped by ICE and having a dev meme on this is insane PR for any site. By that I mean BAD PR. I’m simply asking for an apology. That’s it.

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law. revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

Massive Polizeigewalt gegen Teilnehmer auf der B49 #Giessen

Last Saturday, 50,000 people attempted to block the founding convention for the new youth organization of the far-right AfD party on Nov. 29 in Germany. Wide-ranging actions-including 19 blockades around the small city-prevented a majority of participants from attending. Police beat the blockaders.
