Being brought into the principal’s office and being shown that a bunch of 38 year olds on a website you’ve never been on approve of you punching a kid.

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

POV you’re riffing on bluesky

#kikorangi, do you know of any org who can use old USB sticks? I have a few, ranging from 500mb to 8gb.

It will very much be worth your time to read this.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Bondi Ambition Pam Bondi acts as innocent as the Madonna, but she won't open her heart to those who live to tell the story of Epstein. If Donald told Jeffrey he would like a virgin on La Isla Bonita, that's borderline sociopathic. Release the Epstein material, girl! by Maureen Dowd

Trying to get out from under a scandal about his racism by posting a pic of himself with a probable child sexual abuser may not have been the smartest move in the circumstances.

In this episode of @EmpirePodUK we are joined by Stephen Fry @stephenfry.bsky.social to discuss one of the greatest of all stories: THE FALL OF TROY

Bit late to it but if you want to know the chain of events that led to us importing gas (and charging electricity users to pay for it!!), I did this deep dive for RNZ last year www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

“Mr. Beast Salesforce ad” - they’re calling it the least appealing phrase ever assembled in any language. They finally did it

every new tech has a hype cycle but only very rarely does it live up to the full promise of the hype. in fact it has only happened 7 times: agriculture, electricity, indoor plumbing, the printing press, the steam engine, penicillin, and air fryers. admittedly the last one had us all caught off guard

Donald Trump is using social media the right way. by Ezra Klein

minor point of order since it keeps coming up, it's "Woke 2" and not "Woke 2.0". we're leaving tech industry bullshit behind too

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

Please, my magic bean, it is very sick

Sadly the image here has been edited to reverse the scope. In the original it is mounted correctly.

“.. Our BTC price target is 0.0. That’s not just for shock factor. It’s where the math takes us,” the strategist said, noting that Bitcoin has failed to function as a dollar hedge and instead operates as “a speculative instrument correlated to the Nasdaq.” #Bitcoin seekingalpha.com/news/4547997...

What its journalists do—accountability journalism about the rich and powerful—does not serve someone who is rich and powerful. The Washington Post and many of its reporters are no longer useful to Bezos, and so he has decided to get rid of them. @jasonleopold.bsky.social gets into it:

BUT, since we were forced to do that, we recognise that the work our amazing expert witnesses put into their briefs of evidence is an important community resource. With their permission, we are proud to share these briefs on our website now. www.wellingtonpridefestival.com/hrrt-evidence 2/2

Anyway, congrats to Will Lewis bumping the UK tabloid scandal to the second sentence of his obit.

Not sure which stat blows me away more. That Donald Trump's name shows up more times in the Epstein Files (38K) than Harry Potter's does in the Harry Potter books (~19K) or that Joe Rogan has had more guests that were named in the Epstein Files (10+) than he's had Black women guests (~5).

There’s a Netflix Harry Hole series due out in a few months in actual Norwegian I believe, and I’m terribly excited! I think Jo Nesbo has produced it.

The Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... (supposed to be a gift link, might not work, it’s in Apple News, too.)

Call the piece of legislation that ultimately abolishes ICE the Pretti-Good Act

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

I have a gas mask because I got tear gassed multiple times as a totally nonviolent observer and thought “not next time.” When you launch billowing clouds of tear gas in my city EVERY SINGLE DAY it’s not really rocket science.

i was at the scene shortly after ICE executed a man they were piled on top of. my report and photos are on webworm: www.webworm.co/icekillsagain/ "There is no justification for letting that many bullets go. That's messed up, That is no regard for life at all" a lifelong resident told me. fuck ice.

Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win

I did watch the video. It appears an agent takes a gun from the victim and scurries off. Then, while the victim is unarmed and on his knees, a different agent shoots him. Then, while the victim is still unarmed, injured, and laid out on the ground, he’s shot over and over again.
