first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot

all my hot friends love going to chrome://flags and deactivating every. single. gemini or ai function within, and then going to cmd prompt and using group editor to disable copilot

I'm still collecting children's folklore for my next podcast theme, and I'm getting some amazing responses - monsters, urban legends, games, even a Tin God! Still time to add yours to this Google Form: forms.gle/D8mLW7q2um5Z...

Acting like the Gestapo and kidnapping people are also choices with consequences, just sayin'...

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

‘Roger Fuckebythenavele’ from Chester County Court Plea Rolls, 1310. He was supposed to be arrested, but could not be found. Over the next year he would be named in the records 6 more times, eventually named an outlaw. I HAVE SO MANY Qs, ROGER FUCKBYTHENAVEL. (Best not to have answers, prolly.)

I also suspect Trump is so dodderingly useless at this point, he's really not making any calls. Actually, part of me wonders if they're trying to ease Vance into this because Trump's dying and Vance is going to be left handling the mountain of crap accrued.

It would be especially terrible if people used a good VPN when interacting with this website. And if they're uploading attachments, they really shouldn't remove the file's metadata beforehand using a free site like metadata2go or exifremover. Would hate to see pranksters preserve their privacy

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

Not sure if this qualifies as a hot take, but I wish there was somewhere people could pitch suggestions for works to adapt into anime series, because I would pitch the heck out of a House in Fata Morgana series.

URGENT MUTUAL AID: Only one donation so far and still at $50/$350 and have just 2 days left. Please keep sharing and donating so I don’t lose my housing. I really could use the help.

This is basically the main reason I'm not more stressed about this than I am. Would Trump love to be dictator for life? Oh, absolutely. Are people getting hurt from his attempts to pretend he's king? Sadly, yes. But he's also a shambling old man who likes to plug his ears and ignore reality.

"A shell of a man" - Miller, meanwhile, looks like a man who came out of a shell, probably one at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

My family in Pittsburgh rules. (My aunt in the butterfly costume works in horticulture and has strong feelings about pollinators.)

That girl clearly has never visited the Emit Till memorial.

It's the dream of every teen girl to stand at eye level with the 20th most popular conservative podcaster.

I don't mean to bully anyone, but I'm really struggling to model the mind of a teenage girl who's "always wanted to meet Dan Bongino"

I was recently re-listening to @iwriteok.bsky.social reading through Ben Shapiro's terrible novel, and there was one part where the governor of Texas refuses the liberal president's orders to send their national guard to New York because they were needed at the border against cartels.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

If they have enough sense to do that, they'd realize it's COVID all over again. You can explain things to Trump until you're blue on the face, and the little he pays attention and is capable of remembering is ignored if he doesn't like it. And even if he likes it, he'll probably misunderstand it.

i do wonder if any of the somewhat more reality oriented people in the administration will be able to persuade the president that just because you change the numbers doesn’t mean you’ve changed the underlying reality

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

It’s been awhile since I’ve more seriously read up on Ugaritic and Canaanite religions (alas, w/semi dated scholarship), but this is interesting, and not in a peaceful matriarchal fantasy kind of way.

Don’t think I’ve ever been so specifically and exactly called out 👀

...she and her fisherman husband decided that if eating ningyo gave eternal life, then licking one could surely extend your life. So they set up a ningyo licking business which was hugely successful and made them a fortune. It's impossible to do this tale justice in a short thread so if you... 2/3

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first. You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

So in response to there allegedly being a man in the women's room, the response is to... send in a male security guard. This all makes sense!

Thank you Greyhound!

I swear, the ocean, bubbling and brown, will be rising over our heads and the last words of the human race will be some fucking Telegraph columnist yelling “at least I know what a woman is!” at a tidal wave.

A document authored by an anonymous group of whistleblowers accuses Elon Musk of attempting to spearhead a private hostile takeover of the US Government on behalf of an extremist anti-democracy philosophy known as the ‘Neoreactionary’ movement, by effectively hijacking the Republican Party.

I just learned that there is a place called Gnomesville in Australia, filled with over 5000+ gnomes. If children write a letter to Gnomesville, they will get a reply from the Gnome King. 🧚‍♂️

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Oh. My god. Oh my GOD OH MY GOD. IT'S AVAILABLE. YOU CAN WATCH IT. newsroom.loc.gov/news/footage...

You mean I've had an excuse to piss my pants all this time? Now I know how I'm bailing on awkward conversations.
