An open letter, to readers, about Charity and Sylvia. I am very pained to feel the need to write this. #queerhistory #pride

This seems correct to me. I do think the DSA caucus, regardless of rhetoric, do *not* want to be blamed for this and will likely make a deal in the end

Portland is in active economic decline and there are a lot of misguided residents who are basically egging it along. And what’s infuriating is that a lot of those people haven’t been here all that long and will eventually leave when the spiral picks up pace, leaving the city worse than they found it

the state of Republican campaigning on the other site:

This was always the inevitable end point of Trump (and Hegseth) being wanna be tough guys instead of having actual quiet strength. The capability of the military was able to appear over it in VZ, but painfully apparent in a conflict with actual adversity raised its head

Great thread for PNWers:

Currently dying at the fact that the Washington State Department of Health department issued a warning to all visiting the state that our weed is VERY strong & not to be taken lightly. Be safe out there visiting soccer fans! (credit to @pgcornwell.bsky.social for sharing this hilarious nugget first)

An interesting thread from a month ago that predicted exactly what we’re seeing in the reflecting pool now (peeling up, prolific microbial activity)

A big part missing from the data center debate is *where* they should be built. The data center in that photo is in a 100% f'ing nuts location to build one. In a large established industrial area, or desolate rural location, the equation may be different.

Today was a really tough start to wildfire season. We had near 4 wildfires erupt in the INW within the same 3 hours. I watched homes burn in Spokane County today. I am thinking of those people and the firefighters who stood there to do what they could. Here are some cell phone photos.

I don't think we can rule out that the type of person who would burn a giant 8647 into the lawn of the national mall might have also dumped some nitrogen fertilizer into the reflecting pool.

If I google a sporting event, the top result should be a simple form that shows the date, time, tv channel of the event I just searched for. I don't want to read an article on how to stream the event. I want you, google, to tell me when it is and name a tv station or app

I have compiled a list of everything that is more cost effective to do in space rather than on earth: . . . . . . . That's the list.

Welcome back Benjamin Franklin I won’t bother you since you’re in the middle of something (likely an important experiment)

me and my group chat. All the best posters are just offscreen laughing also

No words

Spurs did that to themselves. Better learn to win close ones next season

The spurs are shooting 68% including from three point land.

As were many Americans who fought in the Revolution and in the Union. Why did they even invite Hegseth over there?

Bummer that it‘s going to be a short series

I love when Chuck and Shaq argue with each other until I have to mute the tv

Hunter Biden’s response to a troll with a Johnny Cash avatar is quite powerful:

This article is bunk, but I will say well played by Economist to drop it in bluesky like chum in an ocean full of sharks

"Yes. YES."

I would like to congratulate my wonderful wife, @zoandbehold.bsky.social, for winning her primary! She ran unopposed and will also be unopposed in the general, meaning for 3 election cycles in a row, Montana will have a trans woman (and kick ass human) in the legislature.

This is a very good report with good explanation of the problem. One thing with substituting vouchers is that landlords are not required to participate. There are people who currently get vouchers can’t find a unit willing to rent to them.

The key actors who need to all be rational simultaneously and for long enough to get an agreement done are: Trump IRGC Iran's leadership (presuming it is different than the IRGC) Netanyahu Good luck!

Europe is so much better about this stuff. Officials still respect their citizens as human beings who they serve rather than marks at a carnival

Zip ties are out and they’re arresting protestors at Delaney Hall. One by one by one face down. Awful.

What’s happening at Delaney Hall is entirely unnecessary. State Police have completely surrounded entirely peaceful protestors with their hands up, and are preparing to arrest everyone.

Meg Gustafson was quite emotional in her post-game interview. Glad to see her shining. "I've never really been respected as a basketball player until I've gotten here."

One thing human beings got right: hammocks

Wait, all of this was supposed to take place on Wednesday? Like *this* Wednesday?

starting to have second thoughts about the contractors i found on craigslist

This guy was in charge of hunting and harrassing every brown person in the country not five months ago.

Called this back in October

Tens of thousands of employees of major national and multinational corporations rely on the public assistance program for employees.

New Talerico ad dropped

From Idiocracy…

And just when I was about to call it a night, ICE has started physically assaulting protestors at Delaney Hall and shoving them into the street and moving traffic again.

After 7 days of federal troops occupying the public sidewalk outside the Delaney Hall Detention Center and repeatedly pushing protesters into oncoming traffic, an activist was shoved by an ICE agent into a moving 18-wheeler on the morning of May 28. Photos by Will Allen-DuPraw for Status Coup.

They Took Our LEGO Store & Life Savings. Here's the story: youtu.be/zedmOopRTm0?... Please share this to help us fight back.
