dark comedy where a traumatized comic who lost his dad in 9/11 accepts an invitation to the Riyadh comedy festival in order to get himself in a room with a bunch of Saudi royals.

Tip for Civil Society: Never Negotiate. Always make them do the bad thing. Don’t help them do it, but make their choice either: do something really bad, or nothing at all https://alecmuffett.com/article/115274

Wonder why the right is so silent on this guy who murdered a bunch of people at the LDS church 🤔

Vercel: where our tech is as bad as our opinions. IPv6 support still coming sometime after 2040?

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

fun fact that while trump v. us says that the president cannot be held criminally liable for using his core powers, this does not extend to his officers

I just tried doing this (with “Yakety Sax”), but can’t figure out how to upload it so the sound works.

For the record, reading the relative distribution of colors in this type of graph is famously the kind of task that pigeons are actually really good at.

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You are praising a conman in your own party while simultaneously saying you will fight the conman in The White House. The former is why no one believes you on the later.

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.

this really is the entire thing we’re doing “the jewish question” with trans people it’s really that, not much else, and american jews owe it to themselves to see their experiences in discrimination against trans people

i took a stab at editing ezra klein’s most recent comments about trans people and electoral politics to make a point often lost by the american liberal commentariat

“They’re not having any fun at the party I wasn’t invited to. Apparently they aren’t even serving cake. Nobody is having a good time, I bet. lmao they’re so sad I’m not hanging out with them. I don’t even think about that party ever. Because who cares about them? I don’t. Especially not that party.”

so @chatterton.bsky.social turned off replies and quote posts so i can't reply to him, but eagle eyes will notice that all of the posts he says are about bluesky's reaction to today's interview were posted between 16 and 120 hours ago

A moral society would make guys like this absolute pariahs, basically excommunicated from all sources of social belonging and support. There's no excusing beliefs like this. They're products of an entirely malformed being.

We have to stop dehumanizing ICE agents while they are doing their important job of dehumanizing us

With Pete Davidson getting a big check to do the Riyadh Comedy Festival, the Saudis are finally paying reparations for 9/11. And jokes like that aren’t allowed at the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

There's two women candidates out of three, but in fairness they are heathens and communists.

Maria Steen is free to stand in any council or general election she wants to.

It looks like Trump's hand picked Supreme Court isn't going to stop him from rescinding money that Congress already agreed to use. How can Democrats agree to a Republican budget that lets Trump delete the parts of it he doesn't like?

Year of the Linux desktop report day two: TIL that Flatpak completely breaks the @1password.bsky.social browser extension's integration with its native desktop application. womp womp

Beyond delighted to see this cretin out of the race. She represents the worst of a dying Ireland. This floundering about the handbag and the realization of just how much she is despised is cherry on top

Someone has managed to drop a Palestinian flag at the very top of the Spire. Fair fucks. Gonna be comical watching Dublin City council trying to figure out how to get that down :) #Speirgorm

It doesn't matter if you're into food and restaurants, this is a must-read on the importance of fact-checking and subject-matter experts (and a mini exposé on how a particular food enterprise in Dublin is capitalising on its absence in Irish media). www.allthefood.ie/single-post/...

I've heard rave things about @bazzite.gg but the inability to use a keyboard layout other than en-US for doing LUKS decryption and closing that as a wontfix seems like a no for me github.com/ublue-os/baz...

In reporting this piece on the new trial for a Huntington's treatment, I was struck by one thing in particular: The joy. One of my sources wept for joy. He has spent his entire career studying this disease, he said it was the happiest day. www.sciencenews.org/article/hunt...

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

Forum mods quickly learn who habitual line steppers are and the answer for them is almost always “no” & it’s fine to swiftly suspend and ban them for anything even questionably close to the line. Wasting your time with semantics is entertainment to them so they should be summarily destroyed imo.

Genuinely looks like a still from a lost Arrested Development episode with a Tobias does steroids B-plot

Horror themed billboards popping up over the city in time for halloween

hoping some of these end up in that house off 280

One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

I’d add: yesterday it was a “challenging” interview, but one he still posted on Twitter (which could explain the nature of the hatemail). Which suggests it’s the reaction, not the content, that is driving his regret.

THIS is political violence. Why haven’t all of the national political leaders decried it? @governor.ny.gov has said nothing.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

You’d like to credit Tony with a huge amount of prescience - but they are in fact this predictable.

imagine a world where politicians said stuff like this about trans health care, too. coz they totally could, from a science perspective

They're trying to paint a 4chan edgelord who loved offensive online humor and shot a bunch of detainees being held by ICE as a leftist

nothing more hacker than using SHA256 to bonk rental agencies on the head

I have been learning more about PDFs than I really wanted to for maybe the absolutely most funny reason possible - letting agency forgery: mjg59.dreamwidth.org/73317.html

The creative genius of this account

Just in case she makes it onto the ballot, it’s good to remind yourself who Maria Steen and the Iona Institute are - fundamentalist zealots who represent almost no one cos even most Catholics think they’re awful

The reason I'm concerned about Maria Steen being on the ballot isn't that she will win (she won't). My worry is that if she is nominated, it will mean a month of national airtime for a hate campaign against vulnerable groups, carried by a media too scared of being sued to call it what it is
