News to the US Army, I’m sure.

I have found the worst kind of guy! He name checks Matt Tabibbi in his tinder bio!

i'm actually reading the unabridged edition, Mobius Richard

Not to be all Woke Moralist, but I’ve noticed a significant drop in people using proper alt text on here, and, idk I think that was a good norm to have and we should keep it

Elon Musk misled Twitter investors ahead of $44 billion acquisition, jury says

The difference between following live sports on twitter and Bluesky is that when you get excited about a home run on Bluesky your comments are filled with replies about how liking baseball is neoliberal overreach and on Twitter the replies are filled with people going @Grok what is baseball

this is up there with the Diet Coke tweets as the funniest thing Trump has ever done

that fake report to ICE helpline the comedian set up to see had basically only 3 kinds of caller- people angry at a neighbour for being happier/wealthier than them, people trying to punish someone at their workplace and (mostly but not exclusively) dudes who are trying for revenge on an ex

Wild to think that Mosley's grandson is the UK head of Palantir, and got the job in part precisely BECAUSE of that lineage. bsky.app/profile/iain...

Tucker Carlson is now posting about how noble, patriotic British opposition politicians like Oswald Mosley were imprisoned during WWII, suggesting that the same thing might happen to "patriots" like Tucker who dare criticize the current war. www.thejc.com/news/world/t...

thats the thing though. I doubt he'll see it as an L, and everyone around will just tell him he is a special boy who can do no wrong

Everyone’s saying we need more news or we need more sports or we need more antisocial behavior here on bsky…. Buddy?? We need profile songs. Alexa, play Smack That by Akon.

RETVRN

Huh.

“The MEU” Rarely have I ever seen it so clear that someone didn’t know what they were talking about.

Damn you're telling me that if you cut two hours of commuting out of people's days, that they suddenly have time to reallocate to childcare and leisure and thus are more willing to have children, the world's largest and more adorable time suck?

Someone way smarter than me that worked under Ash Carter at the DoD is more concerned about mobilizing the 82nd than anything else that's happened re: Iran up to this point. Forcing our people into a fish barrel would be an incredibly stupid move with ghastly costs... then it gets worse.

Into the Kharg Oil Field Dropped the 82nd

I’m suddenly wondering if the MEU’s aren’t the invasion force but the follow up, they’re going to try and take Kharg by airdropping the 82nd and hold until relieved. Like Arnhem but with the Marines playing the role of the British 2nd Army. Surely nobody is that stupid????

a classic post for a reason

It turns out that sometimes when you post a thread criticizing someone for letting their legitimate horror and anger lead to them drifting into the sea of algorithmically-promoted conspiratorial hateful slop, they read or & absorb it & engage productively & realize where they went wrong.

Everyone I know is screaming budget-wise. Milk is $5/gal by me!

Serious question: why not post about a subject you understand?

This is shaping up to be a complete fucking disaster

Hi, this is your lawyer speaking. I'm advising you to keep posting.

I watch a lot of porn so I am an expert on cunts and can assure you Akiva is not one, stupid or otherwise. That's how this works right?

Close up shop, this is the funniest post I’ve ever seen

They might be posting from the 12th century

Like clockwork.

God I love it when a plan comes together. Thanks to @totr.bsky.social for being such a fantastically ignorant patsy

Predictably, Winner is responding to people criticizing her antisemitic ~Jewish pedophiles~ and 9/11 conspiracies etc. posts with “Criticizing Israel isn’t antisemitic” and “I guess you moved on from Gaza” & claiming if you criticize her posts you don’t oppose bombing civilians in Iran and Lebanon.

If your skeets or articles or podcast rants could have been photocopied from Henry Ford’s The International Jew or Mein Kampf or Elizabeth Dilling’s The Red Network or The Octopus or Father Coughlin’s radio broadcasts, I simply do not care if you MEANT to sound antisemitic or not. You are.

It’s truly amazing how much of xitter now is just bots talking to each other

I see that that poaster has risen to his level of incompetence

have uh, people gone mad or?

March hare. (I make no assumptions as to its frame of mind.)

"Slurs are good when I say them" was the inevitable end state of chapoland

If the Trump years have taught us anything, it's that ending taboos around antisocial behavior is ultimately dangerous and will lead to all bigotries becoming normalized. But a lot of so-called progressives seem to gleefully agree with Trump that any sense of public virtue is not worth cultivating.

You will never believe the context.

Try to guess what this is in response to.

No words...should have sent a poet: bsky.app/profile/filt...

The humanity of Dolores Huerta & every girl/woman he assaulted was far less important than men's right to use female bodies as a delivery mechanism for statements of power. & ofc The Cause™ is more important than any woman's right to her own body. The Cause™ is never, in fact, FOR us. We're tools.

And of course, it's not limited to Great Men - it's everywhere, among men small & middling, too. Don't tell anyone - the school needs him, the church needs him, the record label needs him, the family needs him, no one will believe you anyway, bc look at all the good he's done! 6/

So women make these bargains. Ok, he did that, but he changed. Ok he did that, but it was so long ago. Ok he did that, but the song bangs. We pick and choose the men about whom we'll ask questions, because what will be ruined, what will we lose, if we know too much? 5/

And everyone knows it. It's a known-known. If we were to strip our culture of everything tainted by sexual assault and abuse, we would, frankly, have very little left. We move through the world knowing our bodies and our souls are forfeit to society's need for Greatness. 4/

i deserve more followers than Reality Winner, surely. with your help i can achieve this

(eating deviled eggs) so the devil actually laid these himself?

Sincere question. During your research career, when you published, did you cite papers you had not read, or cite them for something they did not actually say?
