I talked to @danielharper.bsky.social about the San Diego Islamic Center Attack, Neo-Nazi accelerationism, and more unpleasant topics on the latest episode of I Don’t Speak German. You can find our conversation here: idontspeakgerman.libsyn.com/145-the-atta...

We routinely paid federal law enforcement salaries with benefits and pensions to frame brown people for terrorist plots just to make it look like they were accomplishing something.

We spent twenty years taking our shoes off every fucking time we flew because one single solitary dipshit tried and failed to turn his sneakers into a bomb. Twenty. Years. Homeland Security was a fucking menace from the day they said "What if we named the agency something vaguely Nazi-adjacent?"

Nice Polite Republicans are trying to conjure misty watercolor memories for a time when the government stole our shampoo and toenail clippers at airport security and told us to go buy plastic and duct tape to protect ourselves from anthrax. Some of us were actually there, dipshits.

This is exactly the kind of trollish shit you'd expect if there were quiet (or not so quiet) groypers managing social media for the white house.

every time one of my posts has exploded on here its been a positive experience. maybe your opinions are just abhorrent and you feel more engaged on twitter because people like abhorrent opinions over there

I can argue with people on Twitter but I can learn from people here. There's nothing there that would make me better; it sounds like you want me there to make Twitter better but i already have a job.

Idiots: "I want Bluesky to be a 'no fucks given' place" Us: "The one fuck we give is bigots" Idiots: "BUT THAT'S A FUCK! I WANT NO FUCKS GIVEN!" Us: "That's how Twitter became X" Idiots: "IT'LL BE DIFFERENT HERE! I PROMISE!"

NEW IDSG: @danielharper.bsky.social is joined by returning guest @msentropy.bsky.social to discuss the recent lethal and tragic attack upon the San Diego Islamic Center. idontspeakgerman.libsyn.com/145-the-atta...

Current mood. youtu.be/dbckIuT_YDc?...

Lol.

You cover your gear in Nazi shit, you write a Nazi manifesto, you do a mass shooting of people Nazis hate for Nazi reasons, and your team denounces you as a tranny

The only right and proper way to use the Internet is by my following hashtags of course.

“Will break rules to defeat Nazis” is a non-extremist position and “will not defeat Nazis if the rules say you can’t” is an extremist position. Everyone please learn the difference between “extreme” and “extremist” because it will be on the final exam.

This one *starts* with Matt Walsh spreading the exact same talking points about Heather Heyer at Unite the Right that full on Nazis were doing in 2017, and just gets darker from there. Listener beware.

NEW IDSG: The Far-Right and the SPLC Indictment. @danielharper.bsky.social presents me with a bevvy clips of far-right dicklords - Matt Walsh, Poso, John Doyle, Political Cesspool - reacting with fascinatingly different types of bullshit. idontspeakgerman.libsyn.com/144-the-far-...

they don't even WANT my vote anymore. they're straight up telling me to kick rocks every fucking day lately.

I feel like there's a lack of awareness among my fellow white people that no Democratic presidential candidate has won a majority of white voters since the Civil Rights Act passed LBJ underestimated the fallout by several generations

Really I'm just curious how a guy in his mid twenties with a degree in conservation got a well-paying job *managing* in fast food. And what the people who work under him think of him.

"The allegations are so severe they can't possibly be true" is also of course a tried and true rhetorical strategy of Holocaust deniers. Funny how that works.

Sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees isn't some Kristof hallucination, it's been documented for years. No one is even attempting to refute this stuff, they're basically just saying that the allegations are so severe that they can't be true. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

Bari Weiss's website keeps publishing these "debunkers" that don't actually debunk anything. As far as I can tell, their only argument is that the NYT is biased against Israel.

EPIC #ArtWork. The New American Gothic, 2017, by Criselda Vasquez Just… amazing. ❤️

Happy Saturday. It's a good day to read, and you can read this short piece if you like open.substack.com/pub/llee13/p...

“Oh so some fella with an Irish-sounding name has gone and desecrated The Odyssey, is that it? Homer’s own Odyssey? The absolute cheek. And tis the talk of the town, is that what I understand you to be saying to me? And people very upset altogether? Sure I never heard the like in all my born days.”

In an age of rising fascism, the fascists resist the name because right now it behooves them to do so, electorally and optically. When they've won they will proudly call themselves by that name. See Matt Walsh, just after the 2024 election. "Project 2025 was always the plan."

If they would just advertise this shit as disability tools I'd be 1000% in favor. Just don't integrate it into my life and force me to use it.

Interesting how these Genital Creepos always try to claim Sinéad as one of their own now she’s no longer with us. But her love and compassion in all the things she did in life supporting Irish women, the queer community, and minorities will always counteract such ridiculous notions.

In her final years, Sinéad O'Connor donated her old clothes and unused makeup to Irish trans teens as she wanted them to enjoy expressing their gender identities. Sinéad never punched down, stood firm in her beliefs, and will always be loved by the people of Ireland. Ms Terphy is nothing of the sort

I am very solidly A2. Leaning A1, depending on what we mean by "AI" specifically.

I'm... somewhere in the teens I think? Several that I almost certainly read as a teenager, others that I know more by cultural osmosis than by actually reading them even if I've read them.

King, queen, bishop, knight, rook, pawn.

Like so many conservative cuts to the safety net, these to in-home family care, these are very likely to *increase* costs because they mean substandard care in state institutions, requiring even more costly forms of care. The boundaries between disregard, cruelty, & eugenics are hard to discern.

This story is simultaneously heartbreaking & enraging. When we say that Americans don't believe you when you tell them what Republicans actually want, vote for, & enact into law when you give them power, this is what we mean. Trump's bill impoverishes disabled children to fund billionaire tax cuts.

The further you live from a transit stop, the more valid your political opinions are. That's just science. Duh.

this use of “traditional” is something else

You mean the other Abundance guy also has some weird thing about birthrates? I can't imagine.

Greater harms would come later but the entire reason for being of the Biden Administration was to 1) prevent Trump from getting a second term and 2) punish him for the harm and corruption of the first one, and it was such a failure on that front that now this is happening x.com/KFaulders/st...

Look at this AI stealing the decent, honest job of a dominatrix

"Heck off, Human Cheeto!" I said, as I voted to give even more power to the torture prison system he's building his legacy on.

I know Bluesky is the backwater lib bubble that will never matter in a million years or whatever but it's funny to note that the Washington Post has its Walgreens Bari Weiss podcast over here farming rage views because their engagement on YouTube is so bad

this is what good political art is for

First Bari Weiss's CBS failed to do any prep work, so Tony Dokoupil was unable to broadcast from Beijing. Now he's been kicked out of his Taipei hotel for broadcasting without their permission. www.status.news/p/tony-dokou...

Jonathan Chait is a worse person than Hasan Piker by a country mile. It's not even close.

My go-to answer for this is Slaughterhouse Five, by Kurt Vonnegut.

they put out that video warning the military to not break laws, trump opens a bull shit investigation into kelly and they capitulated…they havent kept saying it, they havent threatened investigations, they just stopped doing it
