I asked a Christian baker to write Charlie Kirk on a gay wedding cake and we've been staring at each other for 39 straight hours now

Italian general strike is making me think of my favorite episode of labor solidarity, when Sinatra called an Australian journalist a whore and the journalists union and every other Australian union struck in solidarity against him specifically and just stranded him in Australia until he apologized

it mirrors how cops commonly treat the property of the unhoused, motorists who cash they seize via asset forfeiture, poor folks’ homes who they bust into with battering rams (mistakenly or not), etc American law enforcement protects property interests of the elites by destroying those of the poor

can the mods stop being weird and aggro and just fix it so when you post a bsky link in another app the featured image isn’t a terrifyingly large version of your avatar

last year was a rare triple

I’m not saying it would fix everything, but have we considered a nationwide dance craze

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Is any of this "offensive"? No, but it's instructive. Notice the people blurting "waffles!" above aren't internet randos, like the reply gals that got Jay so upset to start with. They're operators of startups and journalists who were published in the economist, like, last week. They're an ingroup.

god im only right now realizing how hard and fast they burnt me on this site lmfao bsky.app/profile/mel....

I keep saying, I have a newfound appreciation for how fascism birthed the surrealist movement. Every fucking day, I feel like I'm losing my god damn mind.

WHAT THE FUCK

They started with day laborers and students and journalists because they knew no one who voted for them would care. They're trying to snatch Ian Roberts in Iowa for the same reason (because he's black). They'll get to the rest of us soon enough.

I really need all of us to abandon any impostor syndrome. It’s time.

May all the humans who discover a snake today be those who will enjoy and appreciate them.

NE1 KNOW A GOOD PATCH MAKING COMPANY THAT MAKES THEIR PATCHES IN THE UNITED STATES & DOESNT CATER 2 FASCISTS?

Even the ppl I hate are still ppl and I want them to have full rights as such. I also want them to come to a bad end and face consequences for their actions. But I want them to have full rights as ppl the whole time. I want everyone to have that, period full stop.

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

Uh I guess merry Yom Kippur, Santa? www.amazon.com/Backdrop-Bac...

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR CHAINS.

if you've been mostly avoiding the news, Boots here makes a reputable news summary/explainer newsletter that can catch you up & provide context

there is no fear in America that informs policy so profoundly as the terror that we might accidentally afford someone human rights or dignity without first determining that they have earned those things; and, by extension, the idea that those things must be earned.

can’t wait for it!! #superbowl

Remembering when the nerdzis whined about Hades II’s Hephaestus being in a wheelchair because “he’s a god” and demonstrated how they know exactly fuck-all about Greek mythology. Or many polytheistic mythologies. Or anything at all.

one of my elected representatives made a thread in support of trans inclusion in sports! other MA friends, let's show the thread some love and add informative links.

Eric Adams: Pops up to be annoying Does crimes constantly Loves catching rodents and bragging about it Eric Adams is a member of Team Rocket?

i think about this post every time i watch a movie

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

[P]

I know I keep saying this, but it's the only thing I have to say that feels like it matters right now. We'll win or we'll lose, or probably both, and that's in the lap of the Gods now. But you get to choose what you believe in, always. They can't take that away from you.

The African-American veterans who gathered in 1887 to honor Thaddeus Stevens for his role in the "hopeless fight" for justice and equality did not do so because they believed they represented the zeitgeist or the silent majority, they did so because they knew they did not. Dare we do any less?

The Ones Who Visit Omelas Without Doing a Ton of Research But Then on the Tour of Omelas They’re Like “Wait What the Fuck Did the Tour Guide Just Say”

Gentle reminder: Yom Kippur begins in 72 hours. If you plan to fast, now is an opportune moment to start pounding fluids and cutting salt and alcohol

The Paradox game about this time period is going to have some wild events

antipope. antipope. antipope. *stands up from chair* Antipope! Antipope! Antipope! *bangs axe on shield* ANTIPOPE! ANTIPOPE! ANTIPOPE!

Many oomfs would fold

i think bsky needs to add a “if you think this is real, please take a screen break and have a glass of water” label because “misleading” is clearly not direct/appropriate enough sometimes

Literally two mass shootings by vets with foreign combat experience and some pretty clear untreated PTSD in a single day, good thing our entire counterterrorism apparatus has been redirected to landscapers and enby teenagers

There are people who will see you and think 'maybe I can keep going too'.

Once again, the moderate position is for ICE to be abolished and Border Patrol to be gutted, and massive civil rights prosecutions leading to prison time. Anybody running on anything less is kicking the can down the road.

State Dept's revoking visa of Colombia's president because he said in Spanish "That's why from here, from New York I ask all the soldiers of the army of the United States not to point their guns at people. Disobey the orders of Trump. Obey the orders of humanity." www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Really important to internalize that the president of the United States is ordering troops into major population centers precisely to create violent confrontations, for the sole purpose of intimidating, criminalizing and disabling opposition

2025 yet I'm out here saying upd8 #Homestuck
