Following this guide. I'm migrating to myatproto, one of the servers Blacksky provides for non-Black users. bsky.app/profile/rude...

lmao, kristi noem wanted a black bloc fight and got an inflatable rave instead. fuck you DHS, rip city forever.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

This 1939 government map about the Public Works Administration has been rattling through my brain recently. The PWA projects are such a fixture in American life that people don't even realize they're all around us. It's a mixture of mourning and nostalgia, but mostly the latter. People can be good.

netflix: are you still watching? me: no netflix: do you want me to keep playing to drown out the static in your head while you dick with your phone? me: yes netflix: *next episode intro noise*

They had to buy the Post, gut the newsroom, and restaff with reactionary grifters that don't deserve to carry their predecessors' dirty socks; that was the only way to remake the paper, because they were never gonna get through the front door on merit.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

The NYT's making sure everyone sees this piece pushing eugenicist views of autistic people.

I don't know that this is the *most* unethical thing David Frum has ever done, but in terms of professional *journalistic* ethics? Whooo boy

Look at it! So cute! And it includes Lambchop and the Serious Courtship for anyone who wants that in print too. If I approve it, it should start getting distributed over the coming days.

as always, the most accurate summation of modern politics ever created

While it's far from the worst thing ICE is doing, it does piss me off that they're handing PPB a little propaganda victory which we will never hear the end of come next year's budget negotiations.

Your periodic reminder that you have the right to find out why your health insurer denied your claim. We built a tool to help you do it: projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

This is how propaganda works. They slapped an image on this from Los Angeles in 1992 during Rodney King riots.

a 33 year old photo? seriously? folks, you don't hate CNN enough, you just think you do

Californians, let’s call (916) 445-2841 to tell Newsom’s office to sign the following pro LGBTQ+ rights bills before the deadline: AB 82/SB 497 AB 1084/SB 59 SB 418 AB 554 AB 728 AB 678 SB 590 SB 450

If you get a chance to see The Hu in person, do it. I got to see Tengger Cavalry from about ten feet away in a tiny metal venue and it was one of the best shows of the decade for me. There's something about throat singing in person that's everything metal has been missing and never knew it needed.

Raiders of the Lost Ark was a great film that spawned four sequels, only one of which (Last Crusade) is worth watching at all.

please send condolences to @starinthetitle.bsky.social who just went into “Tears of the Prophets” completely unspoiled and experienced the slow march toward Dukat’s entrance in the Bajoran temple in real time

The challenge is that in a country ruled by people who believe in prosperity gospel, losing your health insurance is just a sign that you’re not a good enough Christian to win their god’s favor and the riches that come with it.

NEW: Cops in Texas told 404 Media in May they used Flock to find a woman who self-administered an abortion out of concern for her safety. Documents now show police were conducting a “death investigation” and discussed whether they could charge her with a crime: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Big Tech is ‘donating’ to Trump’s ‘nonprofits’

Texas national guard arriving in Chicago. these dudes don't even know how to hold their weapons. dude in the middle could easily shoot the dude to his left while improperly carrying his rifle. this is amateur hour. ppl are going to die.

everything about the attempt to co-opt the language of social justice to promote AI personhood makes my skin absolutely crawl that people are doing it in the current political environment, where the most basic human rights are crumbling before our eyes, is as bleak as it gets for me

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Jesus. You think it can’t get any worse, then you read these stories. US citizens and legal residents illegally arrested and held for days. **Native Americans** getting detained and held for days because ICE agents are too stupid/racist to know about tribal IDs.

The 6 conservative SC justices have stopped even pretending that they are doing anything for any reason except, "Because I want to force everyone to live the way I believe is correct."

standing is a threshold requirement that only liberal plaintiffs must establish

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

It's the new highways through Black neighborhoods: Data centers

How do you find a compromise budget that reflects the priorities of 535 members of the House and Senate when Trump will just withhold any money he doesn't want to spend? A representative democracy cannot function as Trump has broken the US system this year. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

it doesnt help that when trump and miller say crazy shit the leading democrats are like "um um health care costs! health care costs! this is all about health care costs!"

Yet us angry faggots and trans folk got yelled at for two months by BlueMAGA libs on here about how we needed to get on board with supporting Newsom.

Everyone can decide for themselves if they *trust* BlueSky & the AI service it uses, not to lie about ingesting art for training purposes For me, I'll post old art that I know has been ingested by the likes of Meta by now, but *new* art would be a harder choice BlueSky lost my trust a while ago

"Our automod system doesn't work" ok cool turn it off then

all stick no carrot means all stick no carrot for anyone

According To your own account @moderation.bsky.app “Adult Content” is “Explicit sexual images” A clothed person who is missing an eye and a leg is not “Explicit Sexual Images” A clothed disabled person who is putting on their prosthetics is not “Explicit Sexual Images”

Whoever on your team, @moderation.bsky.app who has marked images of a disabled person attaching prosthetics as “Explicit Sexual Images” appears to be admitting to acrotomophilia … that person should perhaps be removed from the role of Moderation … Because disability isn’t “Explicit Sexual Images”

Oh hey. This is nice.

Every time the "trans people are 1% of the U.S. population" thing comes up, I feel compelled to point out that the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum says that Jewish people made up about 0.75% of the population of Germany in 1933.

Flying cars are the perfect example of a point solution: trying to solve a systemic problem (traffic) with an individual product (fly over the traffic). But traffic is not a technology problem; it's a social problem. Remote work, congestion fees, and dense transit-connected housing solve it better.

I appreciate the irony of the term "biological name" being used when the thumbnail is of a guy named Rafael Edward, but for some reason, we have to call him Ted.

I know realities on the ground are never so clear, but if you're trans or have a trans kid in Texas, get out. Get across any border. Get out now. Right now. Get out, please.

Because a lot of y'all think state violence is a good response to disobedience.

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all
