Big court date for the InfoWars takeover tomorrow. Cross fingers, knock on wood, send one up. We're hoping our agreement with the families and receiver is greenlit by the judge, despite Alex's hate campaign against them all. If we win, expect an Emergency Broadcast. Stay tuned, and wish us luck.

Glad to see these look-backs at the invasion - Seva's original post is worth a read too. I will own up to being initially shocked and even on the fence about military aid, but I got over that real quick. Truly one of the defining events of our time - more than we realized it then for sure.

STRICKLAND: dawg, are you new? you sound fucking *stupid* right now

i mean, yes, but we're still where we are. there are rarely discreet breaks in the human record, because on a planet with 8 billion individual actors, change arrives unevenly and unpredictably. we gotta understand how we ended up here to know where to go next. but i agree. there's no One Weird Trick

now go for the throat. he's backed into a corner, and we should take advantage of the situation, and turn him into a warning for others who attempt to perpetrate this kind of abuse in the future

i hope they go after the DOJ lawyers for malicious prosecution, and harassment in their personal capacity. nothing about these cases was done with the public's interests at heart

they don't mention the recent New Yorker article framing Altman as a sociopath who endlessly lies about everything, they don't mention Musk's long history of vaporware and open embrace of white supremacist conspiracy theory just, whoops, not useful context!

whoa. i just discovered that push-powered vacuums exist. this guy is pushing this big thing around, it makes zero noise, and is entirely mechanically driven. wild

one thing i would like to see happen is: every single confederate and neo-confederate memorial not simply be destroyed, but debased and desecrated. i want to cut the head off of every rebel military statue, melt them all down into one big block, and then turn it into a post-modern public bathroom

things that will never actually happen

They jumped when it was low to the ground. Several deaths, IIRC, were from jumping too high. This wasn't even the worst airship disaster of the era, either: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Akron

thought this was DTLA for a second. can't believe we're terror bombing a major world city just for funsies. real grim shit

honestly, the best solution is to simply not pay attention. it's beyond your control. just try to cultivate positive vibes and hope for the best

we're so bad at this

*record scratch* *freeze frame* yep, that's me. you're probably wondering how i got here

take a drink every time a chud blames biden! jk please don't alcohol poisoning is no joke

we're posting responsibly today, folks

I do, however, work on the *opposite* of killing people with drones, in that I am currently trying to find funding and partners to support my work documenting and fighting back against the horrific rise of targeted small drone attacks on civilians globally (please send me leads!):

on wednesday @los-los.bsky.social puts up a sign on his account: open for midness

it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it … because it happened 25 million years ago, and presumably you weren’t born yet

whoop whoop

i say this with all honesty, I hope whichever clerk drafted this suffers a devastating stroke or something else neurological down the road that leaves them unable to use or understand language; it would be poetic justice.

this is what being an ally actually looks like

1. STOP ASSUMING WHO IS AND IS NOT A LAWYER. Everyone in the field who isn't a cishet white man has a story of being assumed to not be a lawyer, and for every story I've got, Black lawyers probably have ten. If someone is in a courtroom dressed even remotely professionally...

Lots of attention on the Secret Service this week. In our very first story for The High Side, we did a deep dive into JSOC's ties to the Secret Service, especially the Counter Assault Team, which was part of the reaction to the would-be shooter on Saturday: thehighside.substack.com/p/bidens-ukr...

i take it back. claude design is useless. i hit the weekly limit in one prompt lmao. a probabalistic ui generator that costs hundreds of dollars per day to get anything approaching a useful result is an extremely niche product. professional designers aren’t going to play high limit robot roulette

well look, at least we got congested, low earth orbit satellite broadband service that's too expensive for the folks that actually need it most (all run by a white supremacist with a head full of recreational ketamine)

who up getting seasick? it’s me, because boats are the worst type of vehicle

Say sike right now

american police have two modes: blind fire into a crowd of newborn babies, or playing on phone while pretending they can’t hear the screams of babies being gunned down by a 4chan user

Instead of wasting time on clickbait conspiracy theories, how about we focus instead on the health of the 131,000+ former AEC/DOE workers who built, tested, or maintained nuclear weapons, or who mined, milled, or transported uranium for them and got very sick as a result. bsky.app/profile/atom...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

here in my knooooowledge

the jobs pay well because they’re extremely difficult, and and when they don’t get completed, it hampers pete hegseth’s ability to prosecute his reign of terror, and assorted genocides. none of those little girls would have died without fuel for that PrSM, and not just anyone can make it

our choices were raise everybody up, or decompensate until we’re wallowing in the same misery we’ve forced on them. we chose the later. there’s not really any reason to rage against the inevitable if we’re still going to let it happen. all that wilm do is speed up the process

so like, yeah no shit i’m not impressed by people who work for anerican defense contractors in the year of our lord 2026. if that’s the best they can do, i’d simply rather they didn’t. if the choice is to keep paying to make bombs or sacrifice them…

you might be on the autism spectrum if…

jesus christ, if that number is anywhere near accurate, ukraine is burning through russia’s resources at an astonishing rate. long range strike weapons really are the great equalizer

could you imagine if an american politician with a problematic personal life abused their office to claim credit and implied ownership over shared public resources??? awful. thank god that only happens in those backwards asian dictatorships en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_...

you sound insane. i get paid to develop software. i don’t get paid to manage infrastructure. if you have enough free time to tinker in your home lab, hell yeah. have fun. i’d much rather do literally anything else with my life, other than that

flawless victory

shots fired 💥💥💥

it’s me. i need to hear this. and now that i’ve heard it, i will make a mental note of it, and file it away until a later date

this is how i know politics is calvinball. if a plane fell out of the sky and the faa put out a statment saying they weren’t going to release the post mortem report because they want to focus on moving forward, everybody would rightfully point out that’s a stupid excuse for a stupid descision

massachusetts had a commercial power reactor in the 1960. it managed to operate without incident for 31 years, but without the largesse of the AEA’s cold war budget, it stopped earning money. why? because it required a never ending stream of expensive parts and labor to keep operating

this is why it’s still classified, by the way. the navy didn’t want congress connecting the dots, and pulling the plug. it undermines the entire justification for nuclear propulsion

this, right here, is why three mile island happened. a bunch of rickover’s boys got task saturated and fucked up, then, instead of asking for help, they doubled down until they were venting fission products onto an elementary school. nuclear’s track record speaks for itself. it’s not worth it

the local tv station is constantly running stories about some locally beloved old rich guy cutting a $1,500 check to cover the cost of new band uniforms or whatever. buying respect and admiration is not only possible, it’s one of the cheapest rich guy-exclusive purchases

only the us navy can win this hard
