On the flipside they are restricted in what emergency surgery they can perform on him if he's on blood thinners for blood pressure

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

the Bulgaria instagram account just posts deranged shit

beginning to suspect Google's AI summary search result/s are a ploy to get everyone to use, and log into Chrome, to get rid of it

"progressive" in politics in usually just a euphemism for "polite"

I think about this almost every day

Rewatching The OA, a show I remember enjoying as much as I remember it...not being great for my mental health? but in a kind of helpful way

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?

The banter on Bluesky today

Tyler O'Ryan Gramlin, 32, of Borden, IN is a Border Patrol Agent who has traveled from state to state committing extreme violence. On Jan 21, 2026 Gramlin emptied a can of pepper spray directly in the face of a prone protester at point-blank range in Minneapolis #MPLS #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

that woman smiling so serenely in her wheelchair, those white faces holding up those placards... contemporary Nazi rally imagery

People can say they didn’t vote for this but people are liars

Kinda tired of seeing smoking (harmful) and nicotine consumption (not harmful) conflated. Tobacco control enthusiasts don't want to lose their sweet pile of cash though and have pivoted accordingly

looking through old memes

In the space of two minutes he confused Greenland and Iceland four times by my count. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Talking up a fear of the Chinese, while handing them an ideal scenario: Europe and the US at war. It seems so unlikely because this is very very stupid, but they're dead serious

I have sapped the garbage ep of its magical going-to-sleep powers. V sad, thankfully I can fall back on the classics

Yes

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

I suspect that "it's got Palestine" is something we're going to a hear a lot more of in future. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Remembering visionary Maestro DAVID LYNCH on what would have been his 80th birthday. We miss you so much, David. 🖤🖤🖤

weird how the solution to unregulated industries is to regulate people instead

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

Getting buzzed at least once a day by one of these guys, they're slow and noisy at least so can suppress the swatting impulse

So I just found out that someone made a claymore into a plush toy. It is a cute little thing

Jess's response: Schrodinger's President!

Scoop: One of the first acts of Australia's new anti-corruption watchdog, NACC, was to carry out $30 million of office fit-outs. It was only when staff were preparing the agency's first annual report that they realised the project broke laws meant to fight... corruption. www.crikey.com.au/20...

you couldn't ask for a better example of australian government tbh #auspol

Once again sleep is the victim of the evening nap. Sleep is just to good to resist.

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care 🧵

It's George Liquor's more demented, even less stable brother.

I had to do it

Listening to this on repeat to fall asleep lately. Music carries a lot of memories for me and I know in bad times anything I listen to I may never want to hear again. It becomes a small sacrifice of something I love.

Seeing more and more fiddler beetles in the yard. I reckon this one was looking to lay eggs, but wasn't having much luck- the first log had too many ants, the second log ran screaming when it was approached (it was me.)

[after getting 8 likes on a post about Dracula having sex with Bigfoot] I love Bluesky, but this isn't sustainable

People on anti-virals usually have an undetectable viral load, meaning the virus is no longer present in bodily fluids and thus non-transmissable. This won't just put vulnerable people at a greater risk of disease and death, but will likely result in an increase in HIV in the community.

After decades of good scientific and medical progress on HIV/AIDS the US is taking the world backwards. Disgraceful.

At the Harvest Church? People gunnah be losing their kidneys and what not

Raymond Thomas Reynolds started off his day wearing a stars and stripes gaiter covering his face. By the time he and his fellow white supremacists were escorted to their cars, his mask was off and he appeared to be questioning the wisdom of screaming racist chants in Minneapolis. #MPLS

Minneapolis showing the world today how to keep nazis from ever trying to rally in your community again.

you don't have time for the salon! you're ass-deep in mycenaean irrigation techniques!

This year a lot of really shit things have happened. All that's getting me through it is the kindness shown by friends, neighbours and complete strangers. They've been a salve for my despair and fended off a hateful cynicism, shadows of misanthropy. Their efforts have tempered my grief.

taking trump seriously rn would be too damaging to a US in decline so the whole system is squirming to not look at him directly. press translating what he says to sound more sane, democrats just talking about eggs. he's too big to fail

Watching Tenet for the second time with subtitles, and it's like seeing it for the first time.
