@lucympowell.bsky.social has turned off replies and QT, so how am I supposed to ask her what this is supposed to mean? I have been through the Wikipedia disambiguation page for NPR 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ GM leaders? Nope... No alt text on the image either, so I assume Lucy, heidi & andy are in the pic somewhere.

Palantir is using medical records to help ICE target its victims in the US. And Wes Streeting is pitch-rolling for Farage to do the same in the UK.

They have discovered the Nac Mac Feegle revealer

probably a mistake for him to live in a cold-weather city like Milwaukee then

I just thought everyone should see this

Browser extension that converts the phrase "ChatGPT" to "pussy I farted" anyone?

I think the Daily Mail is actually verging into sedition and subversion and treason.

No survivor should face harm from the very system that is meant to protect them. No child should have to carry an abuser’s name. It’s time to change the system. I've donated, if you can afford it please do too.

X's product head has multiple brushes with death from failing to chew

NEW: NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct. He failed to declare £333,000 in outside interests (more than 3x MPs annual salary)…

January 20th is Penguin Awareness Day so I'm going to share a few good penguin facts/stories. My goal is to spread greater Penguin Awareness.

BREAKING: The Greg Bovino Bitch Fund Benefiting Immigrant Rights in Minnesota has just donated $10,000 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, an essential org working on the frontlines to protect people from ICE's terror.

Bastards at Google have found an extra level of enshittification - I now can't scroll through Next and Previous emails in my inbox. There's a " Gemini " button hovering above both these Soni can't press them without a "Try Gemini" pop-up

OMG he's still going? If I remember the plot is always the same: "Sexy and wonderful politician gets sued, so tries to bribe a witness and ends up going to jail."

Then maybe the AI boom *should* falter.

i would like every commissioning editor to call the people who praised trump before/after the last election and ask them to write, "i was wrong about trump, this is why. also, i will be shutting up forever and getting a real job" the second part of this is non-negotiable.

*DANISH PENSION FUND AKADEMIKERPENSION TO EXIT US TREASURIES

also, side note, but why are these deranged outbursts by a deranged racist & misogynist ‘embarrassing’ for Starmer, who’s trying to prop up a security alliance in the face of madness, and not ‘embarrassing’ for the journalists working on these stories who’ve done so much to sanewash Trump?

#$MSFT Is this working now? Why wouldn't FinTwitter use the hashtag?

No no no. The UK should encourage the US to put all their top armaments on British bases, so we can capture them as soon as war breaks out.

In Kandy, Sri Lanka, locals dredge the river from rafts. They can then sell the sand to building companies.

b) the Discover feed drives a lot less than the algorithms on X or threads, so the way you get engagement here is... make connections here. I am regularly pretty high on the overall engagement list and it's in large part because I made friends with a lot of people here and they repost my stuff

Quite a ride

Do it!

It was inevitable.

Beyond the fact that this bugfuck insane letter was written and sent to the leader of Norway, the State Dept agreeing to distribute it to other heads of state instead of objecting and honorably resigning or at the very least planning some kind of coverup is a sign of deep institutional collapse.

Imagine your house falls down one day and it's because a load of parakeets have been systematically eating your mortar

Years ago when I was still on twitter, I had that plugin that changed Trumps tweet's font so they looked like a 5 years old scribbled them with crayon. We need this now, but to work in all of the internet.

Blue Monday (in my mind)

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

The good news? We’re winning universal childcare faster than anyone expected. The bad news? Ms. Rachel and I have to find some new song inspiration…

americans, please: do not take the bait by resisting ICE yourselves. just give the democrats $20. they will give it to ICE so they can train more guys

God bless the Minnesota resistance.

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

Hmmm... How could Russia be getting strategic intelligence information? 🤷🏼‍♂️

I really trust my labelers and he has no red flags or warnings (unlike most UK newspapers) I don't follow Will, but often see people I trust repost him and these labelers read everything

I've disagreed vehemently with Stancil's take on the utility of social media and online activism; I've never *once* seen him be a transphobe, even in a vague concern-trolling way, nor seen a single allegation of it substantiated by anything beyond innuendo.

My law firm is currently litigation 81 voting and election cases in 40 states. This includes 11 redistricting lawsuits. It also includes 26 cases where we are litigating against the DOJ. Elias Law Group only has 60 lawyers. Big Law firms have 1,000-2,000 lawyers. Where are they in this fight?

Have I checked in to a zombie hotel? All the bathroom products are 'revitalising', but I'm already alive.

As Pratchett said:

it remains nuts to me that the argument for Newsom is that he's inevitable while he's not even the polling favorite

When the better times materialize (& they will, so many are working towards that right now) & it comes time to investigate everything ICE did & it did it, we need to reject the old strategies that have failed us. Don't let an old prosecutor or police chief lead the way.

DOJ investigating whether Denmark lied on its Greenland mortgage.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work. Really depraved shit.

@goodlawproject.org seems to take 3-4 months for a BBC kuensberg correction

i see ICE have joined bluesky

What they're ignorant about is what people do at their own companies. Over and over and over again do not understand the jobs of the people who are working at their own goddamned companies. And the reason for it is almost always arrogance and condescension toward workers.
