A woman teaching her enthralled child different spanish vocab words related to cats while she stared at my boys in the window has restored my love for humanity

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today. h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

You can't raid and arrest everyone in an entire apartment building, or even legitimately get a warrant to do that, any more than you could for a whole neighborhood. That would be a general warrant. This is the most specific core the-British-did-it-to-us thing the Fourth Amendment is written to ban.

NEWS: Major unions @nationalnurses.bsky.social and @ueunion.org are publicly demanding that the U.S. immediately halt military aid to Israel, recognize Palestinian sovereignty, and intervene “to put an end to the violence, starvation, and injustices being inflicted on the Palestinian people.”

Me doing my full Dark Souls + Elden Ring run last year: "Huh I wonder why this extended series of meditations on persevering under the crushing weight of a dying world is so compelling to me all of a sudden"

"According to this tablet, humans have always talked like they do now, and most literature is just Sephiroth-posting" "Destroy the evidence"

I am very much on the "No they actually believe all of their own bullshit, yep even that one" train these days but I refuse to believe Mike Johnson believes what he's saying

Privatizing commissaries is the quintessential GOP policy idea: even in a fantasy world in which they're somehow more efficient (they're not), every penny of that (plus more for profit) will be taken out of the pockets of military families, effectively lowering military pay to benefit Wal-Mart.

the government should not be able to smash into your home and drag you into the street for no reason. it's kind of a core civil right, perhaps THE core civil right.

RIP Renato Casaro, an Italian artist known for his film posters. He passed away yesterday at the age of 89.

it’s officially spooky season! 🎃 #otgw #overthegardenwall #fanart

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

Adding my voice to the chorus: the Sumud flotilla never entered Israeli waters. that is a lie. The Gazan coast is Palestinian territory (not even spiritually, like actually in international law) so the Sumud flotilla has not violated Israeli sovereignty. The Israelis intercepting them however…

i miss the days when “woke” meant i was getting something that was truly progressive instead of something that was perfectly reasonable by the standards of the 1990s

Let's go!

I can't believe that "this product is unreliable and lies randomly" is being advertised as "vibes".

BREAKING: Union in Italy has announced a general strike on October 3, as per their promise if the Gaza flotilla was attacked, as it has been now.

In case you were wondering, U.S. Postal Service remains open during the federal government shutdown because it generally receives no tax dollars to keep running. USPS relies instead on stamp sales and and other service fees

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

People are dying in ICE camps. They’re being disabled, mistreated and denied basic medical care. They’re being disappeared. Don’t let all the distractions make you forget the 1,000 people who’ve gone missing from Alligator Alcatraz. Or the thousands of others being kidnapped every single day.

The Republicans denied recognizing the Democrats when they attempted to chicken out and pass their compromise funding. While simultaneously broadcasting on all channels they control that the Democrats are why the government is shutting down. Something else is happening here

The language is stunning, but it's also one of the most clear-eyed and comprehensive statements I've seen from ANYBODY involved in government thus far as to the nature of the constitutional revolution that we are currently undergoing.

The Saudi comedy show thing is really highlighting how making "selling out" okay and cool to do was probably a bad move

BREAKING A federal judge that the Trump admin's policy targeting pro-Palestinian students for deportation violated the First Amendment. His blistering, 161-page ruling starts with a threat he received in chambers and his response.

Reading Rainbow coming back with the Librarian that got fired for being too popular and good at his job hosting is like the best news I've had all month. good plot twists? in this economy?

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

There are two basic types of military thinkers: the ones who believe in the glorious charge, and the ones who keep track of pussy things like “supply lines” and “logistics” and “what the weather’s doing”

There used to be an occupation called Buttslinger. A butt is a ~500 liter, ~130 gallon oak barrel, used for aging whisky. About half the size of a standard English tun, about 1000 liters, 300 gallons. A buttslinger was a guy whose job was to move these casks around and protect em from robbers

The fact the governor of Illinois is beging for citizen coverage because media as a whole is intentionally not covering the governments terror campaign should be absolutely a five alarm fire if you are not already figuring out the federal government is at war against us.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Uhhmm….A LOT of us did??? And we screamed and screamed and screamed and screamed at you?? The GOP literally *wrote it down* into a point by point playbook called Project 2025 that outlined every single one of these things?? MANY many people had each and every one of these things “on our bingo card”?

I do not want to enable location services. I do not want to create an account. I do not want to sign up for special offers and news about your product. I would like to engage in a simple transaction where I give you money in exchange for a good.

This man has been a credit to America for decades, and Iowa, with nothing more than the desperate words of the masked secret police accountable to no one, is revoking what he's earned and others have honored him with. Horrifying, contemptible, and cowardly

when I went to the store in the past they put a sticker on my shirt and gave me a cookie and let me play with the toys. I go to the store in 2025 and they want me to pay for my groceries myself and mommy doesn't drive me home? retvrn

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

This would be why I am such a strident critic of digitization as a substitute for actual archival preservation. My sixteenth century documents are far sturdier and likely to survive another 500 years than the detritus on the internet. And digitization is not democratization.
