@dananessel.bsky.social how do we get ice detention facilities out of Michigan?

In the 1930s Hitler's Gestapo arrested, intimidated and simply disappeared countless journalists who questioned the regime under the guise of "undermining national morale". And that's where we are again now.

Hey friend, you know what’s happening today. So yes, make your calls to elected officials, donate to help, plan for collective action. Do that then complete your stress cycle with any form of movement, making, or community. Grieve, cry, nourish. Giving advice that I’m taking. Hang in there

and yet it feels like it’s barely making headlines, I only found out it was happening yesterday by talking to someone at the gym.

We told you so. We fucking told you so and you mocked us. May everyone have the day they voted for.

What the actual fuck?

So far the only thing I’m really disliking about #starfleetacademy is the music, the theme especially. I’m sorry Jeff Russo. Literally none of it is memorable. It makes me sad. I have some reservations regarding writing and casting but I’ll reserve that for season 2.

We'll shut this entire country down.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

...it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government... Our country was founded on these words. It wasn't 'legal' for the colonies to leave Britain, they just did. When our courts, our police, our president have failed us, it's time to remove them from power.

I just told my kiddo that if she wants a cupcake for dessert, she had to “empty her plate”. My mind immediately imagined her flipping the plate over, dumping the contents on the table. This made me add to that saying “in your tummy”. Like I have to do with Claude AI when having to do so for work.

@rianjohnson.bsky.social you were born to write and direct some of the best whodunit stories since Agatha Christie and Clue.

This Is The Way.

Welp.

I know no one here has done this, but to the motherfuckers who are *already* sending hate to the cast of Starfleet Academy You aren't fans. You dont belong in this community. You have hate in your hearts. No one wants to know any more about you. To everyone - lets all of us be better than that

You know. I read a lot about problems people have had with Strange New Worlds including the Gorn. Personally, the —only— issue I have is Captain Batel’s character arc. It was chaotic. She started captaining a ship, then was somehow on assignment to Starfleet JAG…

This bizarre and dangerous claim violates literally every section of our Constitution, which was built by geniuses explicitly to limit individual power. Those entrusted with enforcing our Constitution have a duty to every Conservative and Liberal American. A duty to act. Now.

This would be a lot funnier if it weren't true.

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

Brb calling the shitty AI boosters sloptimists.

Fuck this shit. 2nd amendment advocates…you keep telling us that this is the exact shit you want to defend against…put up or shut up.

U.S. employers posted far fewer jobs in November than the previous month, a sign that employers aren't yet ramping up hiring even as growth has picked up.

I'm now of the opinion that a new Constitutional Convention must be called, in order to fix all of the flaws, references to slavery, and inequities in the original document. It is the only way we can begin to address all of our problems. Unfortunately, we may be too divided now to accomplish this.

What the ever-loving fuck?

We Are the Bad Guys. “What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today.” [hamiltonnolan.com]

We lost our 15-year-old corgi, Lyla, today. She was a wily, crotchety old lady and we loved her for it. Our kiddo got to love her and have fun running around chasing her. We’ll miss you, you silly pupper.

“The lawsuit claims that the use of Flock cameras constitutes an illegal search and violates his 4th Amendment right to privacy and association. The city has also broken California law barring out-of-state law enforcement from using such data, Moore’s lawsuit alleges.”

Saying bye to 2025 like...

Thief: The Dark Project (1998)

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.

My advice for having a nice bluesky experience: - follow *and boost* anybody who posts weird/interesting stuff. If your paths diverge you can mute them - interact with people in good faith and you'll often be met with the same (and gain followers) - post the kinds of things you want to see more of!

Mark, are you saying you want three ghosts to visit you tonight?

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

60 Minutes Inside CECOT segment

I know season 1 TNG is basically Gene Roddenberry rehashing a number of TOS episodes but The Naked Now is one of the most fun episodes in all of the series. Star Trek is the most human when it lets the hero facade slip, just a little.

Does anyone in my bsky vicinity have experience with game design? I’m working on a game design document and I’d love to either pick your brain, or maybe we can work on this concept of mine together.

For most working-class folks lucky enough to own a home, that's the largest asset we'll ever own. We pay taxes on its growing value every year, even if we don't sell it. The uber-rich should be taxed on the value of all their wealth, every year, even when they don't sell it.

Watching “Duck Amuck” with the kiddo, the cartoonist being obnoxious by screwing with Daffy the entire time & with Daffy desperately trying to get them pick a theme, color him properly, or draw a backdrop well reminds me of using AI agents and how much they suck. They HAVE to be fucking with me.
