The more I think about how these media outlets are translating “maybe we saw some drones over our base that didn’t actually do anything, idk we have no confirmation” into “BASE ATTACKED BY DRONE SWARMS,” the angrier I get. That phrasing is fear-mongering bullshit. They should be ashamed.

Gonna go against the grain here: This is a real thing. Yeah, cops exaggerate shit and makes fools of themselves regularly for a variety of reasons. But exposure to fentanyl in the field is an actual risk to all first responders and not a pleasant one to deal with, Narcan or not. It’s not “fake”

casually waking up and deciding to do things that would get my entire family bloodline red weddinged just to avoid submitting an insurance claim

We understand that electing Platner is (probably) not the end destination of electing an actual Nazi into office as a Democrat. However, it’s one of the pre-conditions to get there. It’s a blueprint that others will follow. We must draw a line somewhere, and this is the place.

"he has a tattoo of a symbol worn by all the nazis in his favorite movie, and pretends not to know that it is a nazi symbol."

Pretty clear blueprint for moving forward, to include career folks who participated in *waves hand*

Are there any problems in the country right now larger than the words people to your left are using

Fetterman's odd trajectory to the right, clearly driven by his massive brain injury, has caused people to start making up histories of other moderates as if they shifted from left to center too but rather, politicians in the vast majority of cases really are what they say they are

As a website for 38 year olds, it’s nice that this place has a reasonable bedtime.

once again I am compelled to mention that Bush v. Gore likely went down the way it did because Sandra Day O'Connor cooked her brain on talk radio scholarlycommons.law.hofstra.edu/cgi/viewcont...

It seems that if a race or faith or nationality is associated with the Middle East in the American mind, you just get a free pass to be a bigot in the open and nobody will say anything. Islamophobia and Antisemitism are mainstreaming side by side, just like they each have at times in the past.

remember that one time a train derailed in Ohio and literally nobody died but it was a news story for like a full week and Pete Buttigieg had to personally answer for it?

Very emblematic of Bluesky's whole deal that this is getting savaged by people who haven't noticed it's part of a thread about why she voted against Markwayne Mullin.

Protecting diversity by letting the GOP claim both sides of the CA gubernatorial race in a blue wave year and forcing Democrats to choose one

Robert E. Lee got his ass beat at Gettysburg by a professor of rhetoric and oratory from Bowdoin College and generations of reactionary fantasists have died mad about it.

80% of Trump voters getting exactly what they wanted Remember that when they claim later it’s “not what they voted for”

I aspire to the level of Suburban Brain Excellence required to start a physical fight with Jack Reacher because you perceive him to be in violation of HOA bylaws. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

As a retired airline Captain I flew into LGA and NY airspace hundreds of times. It is some of the world’s busiest airspace. To have only one ATC in the tower at LGA is criminal negligance. Not only is the airspace crowded and chaotic, so are the ground operations. Sean Duffy’s FAA owns this 100%

The fluid definition of "libs," "the left," or whatever on Bsky is social poison because it simultaneously puts everyone at risk of excommunication and lets nobody be accountable for their claims about this or that group. "Liberals" can mean anyone from Paul von Hindenburg to Bernie Sanders here.

“Awful strange amount of accidental deaths associated with the most popular sport among old people…suspicious”

“He’s a young 74, cancer notwithstanding” And you all wonder why Mills is losing to a Nazi curious douchebag The acceptable norms have changed, and aging party leadership can get on board or get left behind

“Got the blue check so I could hunt them for sport in a way they could actually be hurt by” is Elon Musk levels of cringe

what happened to if you have time to lean you have time to clean. or does that only apply to me making $7.25/hr to sell shitty frozen yogurt and not the highly paid murder squad

I don't understand, how could Molly Shah's vetting process fail this spectacularly?

Okay, so caveating this by saying I'm not @conspirator0.bsky.social and nowhere near as expert. The operation has two main arms: the Abdelfattah cell (~877 accounts) and the Mahmouds Family cell (~124 accounts). Similar templates, but different infrastructure and different coordination methods.

I feel like I’m going insane. You can’t just say “I fixed it“ without fixing it and make line go up forever. Eventually, the material reality of the gas being there or not has to matter.

been really awkward seeing all the great work Scoiattolo is doing mapping the structure of this pervasive fraud (going back a while) while also reading people saying these accounts couldn’t possibly be fake

Torn between wanting to keep this internal so as to not tip off the scammers vs publishing it to try and convince people that this is in fact an affinity scam. I think this will be a blog post once I've collected all my thoughts.

Trump 2.0 has been marked by an increasingly wide and obvious gulf between media elites and the general American public, which the elites themselves seem oddly confused about.

the same way eliminating car dealers, realtors and other parasitic right-wing industries needs to be a goal of the left for its own survival, eliminating chriorpactors, the supplements industry and other quack medicine needs to be on the agenda too

fuck off, I want to live in a house

the thing is that russiagate was like 94% correct but mueller deferred the legal mechanism to congress, which he knew would take no action, and he thought it would be too partisan to highlight his findings to the public.

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

Every time I visit CA I can feel the lure of the dark side. What if I lived in a $5 million SFH? What if I drove a Tesla to bag my own groceries in the Erewhon hemp bag? What if I voted for the “Kill All Homeless And Renters, A Kind Of Homeless” ballot initiative? What if I drank 17% ABV cabs?

So it turns out Reform are laundering their donations through crypto, before converting them into cash, hiding the original source of the money. So who is really funding Nigel Farage and Reform UK? observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Graphic design is my passion

I know it’s unpopular on this site to point out that Democrats are largely very supportive of trans rights but they are, and we should recognize when they do the right thing

Remember when the Biden statement after Kissinger croaked was considered particularly cold because it said "send our condolences" instead of "send our deepest condolences"

Well we did, the problem is a) this is big boy war and in big boy war stuff gets hit, b) there was a choice made (rightly or wrongly) to prioritize strike and so there was less capacity initially for the c-OWA weapon of choice (DCA w/APKWS) and c) general understanding of this war is very very bad

oh my god this is his 20 year old son

A poetic end, and a microcosm of our democracy itself if we don’t learn the right lesson from it

Trump: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

fresh post by Margaret Mitchell, an author on the stochastic parrots paper, saying that only LLMs themselves are stochastic parrots. larger LLM-powered systems are not. ironically this means virtually every use of the framing is invalid: LLM-powered systems are all we have medium.com/@margarmitch...

However much John Roberts cloaks him in unaccountability, doing this remains a very serious federal crime and stories about it should say so.

i have an AI idea for investors. i want to buy a house and ay I need you to pay for it.

Not once does this story mention that offering a federal job in exchange for a political favor is a crime
