Congratulations everyone

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This country is under some kind of wizard's curse where every 50 years there's a crisis that reminds everyone why it's bad for a small gang of obscenely rich assholes to control everything, and we go ohhh and then we all immediately forget again

Joanne Bland, one of the youngest people to march on “Bloody Sunday,” has died. She was 72. "By the time I was 11-years-old, I had been arrested at least 13 documented times”

it’s so cool everything is either a scam or designed to take away human rights or both now

In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers

one reason we don’t need more data centers is we have a whole lot of data and most of it is just not good. increasing the available data will only make the situation worse

So I think it's time I properly leave Bluesky and social media altogether. I don't find much of all of this (gestures vaguely) useful. Further to that, this site is full to the gills with bots and people all sharing the same memes and takes. It's too much noise. Informational junk food.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

"Of people booked into ICE custody since October 1, 2025, 73 percent had no criminal conviction, and only 8 percent had a violent or property criminal conviction." You would not know that if you listen to Tricia McLaughlin.

I find it frustrating that the left has been characterized as more prone to scolding when the right’s entire culture is built on an openly insidious kind of scolding

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

no one: no one: no one: guy who made a little ceramic creature: look at my little ceramic creature

Quite literally THIS This is an (ancient) Siemens Acsuon S3000 ultrasound machine. They require these drives because of the density of the images being handled. Obviously they don't stay on there, but if the network is down or there's been a disaster affecting network infrastructure...!!!

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧵 👇

enough emails. stop it

Jesse Jackson came and met with a group of young organizers, including myself, during the height of Occupy Wall Street to share his wisdom about movements. He sat with us for several hours answering questions and giving advice. He was a giant—but still made time for the little things.

jojo part 2 is some of my favorite TV ever made. the pillar men were such goated villains, and especially wamuu. guy just wanted to fight for the love of the game and i respect that like nothing else

Save some of that hate in your heart you have for Palantir and direct it towards Microsoft.

Jesse Jackson's presidential campaigns of 1984 and 1988 set out the blueprint for a multiracial populist campaign for president. @jamellebouie.net's piece from 2016 shows how Jackson's legacy could prevail with someone like AOC in 2028 or 2032. He'll be missed, but his ideas will live on.

there's this gross talking point that Newsom is good on trans issues really. this is a lie. www.erininthemorning.com/p/why-transg...

I've been saying it for almost 6 months now, but the Democratic should have a standing daily press conference where they bring forth yesterday's victims of ice. Every single day we aren't putting a victim of ice in front of the media. We're losing a day

BREAKING: 1 in 4 unemployed people, or 1.8 million Americans, have been job searching for over half a year, per CNBC

This. 👇That first line 👏👏👏

The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...

In a world where silly little hobby kits for brick enthusiasts are getting crazy expensive, it's neat to see that Five Below has one or two ridiculously affordable kits based on everyone's favorite cyberpunk cat-centric puzzle platformer from several years ago

#Fish #vision #deepsea "The current dogma is that vertebrates develop cone-dominated retinas first, adding rods later. Here we show that larval deep-sea fishes have “hybrid” photoreceptors, expressing cone-specific genes in rod-like cells." www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Look at number 4. Look at him go.

Complaining that following the Constitution will stop you from doing the thing you want to do is... an admission that what you want to do is unconstitutional. You swore an oath to defend the Constitution. You are violating that oath, Rep. Alford. Time to go home and let someone else do the job.

you (stupid): spends thousands of dollars a month to pay for compute to run your AI agents so they can unsuccessfully do simple tasks and boilerplate code me (genius): buys a 24-pack of modelo for some 19-year-old nonbinary college student once a week. their code works every time

Telling people to vote for Newsom on Bluesky in February of 2026 feels like posting on Facebook that they can’t use your likeness or content

A prominent Bluesky elder already hosts Jeopardy

"To allege that interpreting the Clean Air Act in an open-ended way is some sort of violation of law is ridiculous. I don’t think anybody involved here is confused about the legal merits. Everybody on the right knows that they’re playing Calvinball here and that this is all bullshit." — @volts.wtf

re:your "Ace Ventura goes to Epstein Island" script—we like the concept. We th ink its very good. But it borrows too many jokes from AV1 & 2

Just got off the phone with the President of Antifa. They said they have a cell in Florida that set up a fake tailoring shop, where they created this custom garment to humiliate Michael Flynn.

It's incredibly fucked up that a weapons manufacturer can put out retro video game hardware and people will still buy it (while defending the company) when there are other alternatives available.

every day i thank god for not giving me the type of brain that enjoys league of legends

it's giving satanic praise break it's giving stuck with venue instruments at the gig and the venue is broke it's giving bangladeshi doom

I gotta hand it to this eMachine 400i3’s crystal CS4281 integrated sound chip, i believe it officially has the worst DOS emulation i’ve ever heard. Impressive! I don’t even think the IBM Mwave sounds this horrendous!

A big fear I have is guesting on a podcast and it being so bad they don’t release it and me knowing that they’ve put out episodes called things like “Jeff bought groceries” and “Alex went to jail again”

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.
