the point of having a comms team, just so everyone is clear, is not only to write better statements than you (which everyone arrogantly thinks they don't need) but also to give others the power to take your phone away when needed, because this is patently embarrassing at this point.

twitter is currently a frankenstein combination of 4chan and tumblr. we all know this. but bluesky is a different beast that i don't think people born after ~2004 fully grasp. bluesky is a frankenstein combination of tumblr and somethingawful

“Some of you may starve to death, but that is a sacrifice I’m willing yo make.”

President goes on stage in front of all the generals: We are going to war with Democrat cities. Schumer: Let’s not be distracted from the issue on the top of everyone’s mind in 2008, healthcare.

Please - stop doing the screenshot no link thing on Bluesky. This platform does not punish you for posting a URL. You picked up the habit from Meta apps? Stop doing Mark Z's bidding. Link ESPECIALLY to authors, reporters, bloggers, etc. where you quote the work.

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.

The President of the United States just told a room full of all his generals that they are going to participate in a war against cities in his country. Because they dared elect leadership from the opposition party. This isn’t ok.

“Don’t call me a Nazi!” said the Nazi.

Going through puberty two has given me so much sympathy for teenage girls. So much emotion, constant discomfort from chest growing, and I don’t even have to deal with periods. Shit’s annoying.

Why won’t you let me embezzle? Just let me embezzle!

For some reason I decided to put my injection needle nice and slow today. That was a decision.

The KPI based management approach strangles creativity. When you’re chasing something with an unclear process, you need to find people you can trust and point them in a direction and hope for the best. Telling them how to do the thing that you only think you know how to do is bad.

More people are going to die to this stupidity.

Eating chips in bed is an act of terror tbh.

Neat document, buy pretty sad that the summary is ‘if you’re American you’re shit out of luck’.

@quinnypig.com Today I learned that AmazonMQ egresses over an internet gateway instead of the ENIs it creates for ingress. That was a good use of my day.

Most likely use of AI in a black hat scenario is to spew phishing attempts hoping to catch some relevant credentials.

I just do it on vibes. Words are made up, so just whatever makes you think what you want them to think.

This has got to me a bit today so here we go. No Rebecca we can't have a calm discussion for the way forward when one side's intention is to eliminate us, secondly the heat is coming from one side, it's the side accusing trans people of being paedophiles, rapists, cheats and predators. 1/26

A 50% consumption tax. Cool. I’ll file this away in the bucket of “shit I can’t afford”.

Pretty sure the “Trump doesn’t actually care about messing with trans people argument” is out the window at this point. Just absolute vitriol directed at people just trying to get through life.

$90/month to be force fed ads. No thanks.

If Kimmel doesn’t put Trump on blast he’s a coward that is giving the admin what they want. “Taking the high road” after they went after your job just tells them that threats work.

SB8, the Texas Bathroom Bill, was signed with zero fanfare yesterday. Now we get the death march of every random city, county, and school district figuring out how they want to implement it.

Marco: Three boats that you know of. Dokoupil: What? Marco: You heard me.

Yeah… I’m pretty sure Tylenol is taken about 5 orders of magnitude more than ivermectin. These guys would see the survivorship bias plot and put depleted uranium where there are bullet holes.

Yeah, welcome to how I feel every time the administration says another shitty thing about trans people.

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

If you don’t want to be compared to the gestapo stop acting like the gestapo. Easy peasy lemon sqeazy.

She’s a boss.

Unless you agree to participate in propaganda, we will take all your access away. We’ll call it diet free speech.

Tell that to Ukraine.

I had chickenpox as a kid. It sucked. This is stupid.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

Stagflation baybee!

“Anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞 👉🏻 archive.ph/ewBhT

I see just going to make up groups, declare you’re part of them, then dare you to fight the federal government in court. Neat. This is fun. I’m having fun. Is anyone else having fun?

Uh… the first three actions by the government do not seem to be conditioned on breaking the law. Is that bad? Should I be concerned? I’m new to the whole “living under a fascist state” thing. Just trying to catch up, ya know?

Every accusation is an admission of guilt.

Literally everyone outside the top 10% is worse off. Great. Cool. Thanks. No notes. Unsubscribe please.

these are segregationists

Driving down the highway, some rando’s car looses a metal bit. Flies up and smashes into the windshield. Just a little bit heavier and we have a spidered windshield at 70 mph. Fuck cars and how they normalize being in life and death situations.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Charlie Kirk was a bad person and his death is cause for celebration, writes journalist Evan Urquhart. Read our very special free speech edition of Assigned Media. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

What is three orders of magnitude between friends?
