Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music Several dozen folks did Some even dubbed music over the original clip. I haven't been able to get this out of my head. So I give you A Bluesky exclusive: Reservoir Ducks 🐣 🪶

When Tuberville says "the enemy is inside the gates" he could be referring to himself in Congress: per the text of the constitution he's a disqualified and ineligible insurrectionist

“Bluesky pianists’ expertise suddenly becoming relevant to issues of US military spending” was not on my bingo card but here we are

trading the peen for a slot, tale as old as time

very much beside the point, but is that a non-breaking space between "traditional" and "America"? why on earth

so the lie all these rich assholes tell themselves is that Wired was the one that changed over the last two decades; it wasn't that they revealed themselves to be amoral predators who cozied up immediately to fascism because Lina Khan tried to briefly stop noncompetes

thinking jealously about sleeping this well

i genuinely cannot process how debased our ruling class is. these guys will walk around all day in shoes that don't fit rather than tell their boss he's wrong. this whole thing where they pretend a stupid evil guy with brain damage is qualified to run every aspect of everyone's life is unacceptable

Another way to think of this: IRGC is fighting a financial war. Their first goal is to deplete the US ammunition stockpiles. We're basically feeding $4M missiles to $20K drones.🤷🏿‍♂️ Their second goal is to disrupt global markets. This causes other countries to pressure the US to end the war.

I'm going to go with "trending down" because between his punctured lung, his other injury history, his age, and the haplessness of much of the rest of the Steelers defensive front he has been less and less productive

press conference where they announce a wartime economy to support the not-war lawlessly not-waged by the department of war and all the journalists just keep asking Hitler what this means for affordability

i don't think anyone at the time expected reagan tearing solar panels off the white house to spite jimmy carter would be such a significant metaphor for the 21st century

As far as concessions go, “the people for whom I am advocating are objectively unable to do the jobs I want them to have, and also have a nasty history of disqualifying themselves with their own rank bigotry” is an incredible thing to have to write

Darkly funny he had enough self-awareness to revert to "Department of Defense" here.

Batman's about to kiss that cop, right?

millist und ta näeb, ma mõtlen kui mu kass magades tõmbleb

a story in 2 acts: I. "I know, I'll read a Jasper Fforde novel to distract myself from The Horrors. This one has anthropomorphic rabbits, should be fun!" II. "What do you mean this book is about an explicitly apartheid society where the anthropomorphic rabbits are a permanent underclass? 😭😭"

difficult choices were made, and no doubt forgetfulness played a part too, but here is a my 9 games dot com report (in no particular order) interestingly I have played Papers, Please roughly 1% as long as any other game pictured, and I don't plan on playing it again, but it's seared into my mind

maybe tall ships are deciduous? with the onset of spring, you can see the first tender shoots of the new year's growth of masts

the people waging the war don't know anything about it, so why should anyone reporting on it

IRAN WAR Bibi didn't "make" Trump do anything. He told Trump, Miller, Hegseth, etc, what they wanted to hear—that the thing they ALREADY WANTED TO DO was a great idea. They grabbed that gleefully, & with both hands. Which is part of Bibi knowing that America is a thing you can move very easily ⬇️

ok this is rather tangential but still: paying inflated private character flight fees to shuffle detainees back and forth through different jurisdictions is just about the most wasteful spending I can think of

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

🎵 ah, look at all the pallid people! (x2) / hospital lighting / washing out colours 'cos who needs to locate a vein? / causing some pain 🎵

i think if you're going to approach electoralism, it has to be with the notion that electeds are the adversary, regardless of who they are the framework is easy: when they do something good, it's because we successfully pressured them to. bad, they did something they wanted to do, despite us

for all the thousands of times my cat has plopped himself down as the little spoon, not once has he offered to be the big spoon

last night I fell asleep with the Zelda: Ocarina of Time shop theme stuck in my head and this morning I woke up with the same song stuck in my head so I made this

it's extremely helpful that genius dot com tells you who performed what verse in rap songs it's extremely hilarious that they also do it for pink floyd songs

here’s my question whenever these stories come up: who are the counterparties who are losing money?

you ever think "if a mosh pit broke out, the people in this room would be standing much closer together" ?

oh come on @avcx.bsky.social why did you choose violence

dear fortune cookie, TICK TOCK you are running out of time please do the right thing

From tariff arguments GORSUCH: What's the reason to accept the notion that Congress can hand off the power to declare war to the President? SAUER: Well, we don't contend that. What if Congress decides it's "tired of this legislating business"? That'd be a "wholesale abdication," Sauer ntoes

Every time "Whaam!" discourse arises, I gaze fondly at the Mr. Fish print on my wall

Don't let any employer tell you your job can't be done remotely

Tbh "what if Star Trek is real" is one of an anarchist's worst space nightmares lol

Time is a flat circle

Not the worst part of this, but using fake negotiations as cover for a surprise attack - twice! - is also going to hurt in the long run.

that top DOD officials spent the entire day feuding with a tech company and the boy scouts before launching a war in the middle of the night should probably inform your opinion about how well planned and executed this will be

never look at your phone when you get up to take a leak. someone might have started an idiot war

Good time to remember that Marc Andreessen claimed that he and the other tech broligarchs were forced to support Trump because of the Biden administration's arbitrary regulation and strong-arming of AI firms.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

If everything from an international treaty to a driver's license can be pissed on and flushed down the toilet, then what exactly are we doing here? Why am I paying taxes? Shouldn't I just stockpile food, water, and HRT and be some crazy swamp witch living off the grid?
