Someone has been watching too much Fox News it seems.

Engineerisaac just shut the fuck up. It's been a solid god damn year of you being an absolute POS on social media... Or rather, do keep talking. Let's see how far you can tank your reputation, Isaac :D

This Saturday in the late afternoon, my girlfriend and I will meet in person for the first time. We've shared photos and videos with each other, and spent much time together in VRChat, but it's so exciting to finally spend time together in person.

It is always morally correct to yell at @schumer.senate.gov to resign in shame because he's a coward.

DEAR @schumer.senate.gov , I PUT IT TO YOU THAT YOU ARE A SPINELESS COWARD, AND THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE RESIGNED YEARS AGO.. LIKE MAYBE BEFORE YOU WERE EVER ELECTED. NOT EVER HAVING YOU IN OFFICE WOULD BE NICE. KINDLY RESIGN IN SHAME IMMEDIATELY.

It is incredibly important to the safety of all that age verification not be mandated for so many damn things. Age verification is prone to data leaks just like everything else, but when government IDs are in the mix, the stakes are so much greater.

#fightchatcontrol #savespeech #DONOTCOMPLY EU. You are up. Denmark wants Chat Control, Age Verification, & Social Media Bans for those under 15. Germany, Italy, Ireland, and France want the same. Follow @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social and use this link to call your MEPs: fightchatcontrol.eu

An ICE agent hit by a sandwich earlier this year testified that he could feel the sandwich’s “explosive” impact through his ballistic vest. “I could smell the onions and mustard.” This made us hungry, so we've rounded up our favorite Bay Area sandwiches that are big, messy, smelly, and aerodynamic.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

/3 It’s increasingly difficult to blame anyone for not trusting institutions and institutionalism, or for expecting the worst result.

Vile and unforgivable.

Furry has always been queer and sex/kink positive, and it needs to stay that way.

furries who genuinely act like our community is full of "degenerates" because of the sex jokes and sex positivity have completely forgotten our community was built on kink and celebration of queer sexuality made by queers fuck offfff

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

Waterwolf and EUFuria (the VR Rave group) are deeply intertwined in leadership. EUFuria used a Waterwolf branded venue, made by someone with a leadership position in both organizations, and said person was directly involved in the event. Easy to mistake it for a Waterwolf event.

I directly asked the event-runner why this happened, why it was allowed and how in the world it's okay, and was just told, basically, "I'm not getting into the drama between you two, fix your shit". I'm not crazy in thinking this is totally not okay for friends to do, right?

I'm angry that these folks were given admin permissions to an event they were helping with (but wasn't about them) and were allowed, carte blanche, to fill their ban list with people they personally disliked, including friends of the birthday people. I have some friendships I'm questioning today.

Some folks are taking issue with the fact that I called it WaterWolf when it's EUfuria who technically did the shitty thing here. IMO, EUfuria and WaterWolf are not a meaningful distinction here. TechSane is a coordinator of both, and the venue is plastered with WaterWolf logos wall-to-wall.

Confirmed this morning that yes, I was banned from a birthday party celebrating three people who are on my friends list, and that it was done after TechSane and Becki were added to the admin list for the event to help run it and banned me pre-emptively, and nobody said or did anything to stop it.

Anyone running a special event with the help of EUfuria or WaterWolf should know that the trust you give them to help run your event *will* be abused by their staff, who will cross professional boundaries and carry out personal vendettas within your special event, leaving a smear on a wonderful day.

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District. And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

So yeah. DJs, please double-check who's running any events you're invited to, and what venue they're planning on using. I'm not mad at the DJs or the birthday beans, I'm just disappointed. In soliciting their help, you excluded a lot more folks than just me. I just wanted to wish you well. :(

The pettiness truly knows no bounds with these folks. It's not even their event. It's not even THEIR BIRTHDAYS. But because it's an event they're involved with, well, they dictate that I'm not to be allowed at the party. So I wasn't. It seems several folks had no idea this was even happening.

Sad night tonight. A few friends are throwing a birthday party, and one decided to ask for WaterWolf's help running it. They got added as admins to the party group and, just being the kinda folks they are, immediately banned me from it. So I'm banned from going to my own friends' birthday party.

@schumer.senate.gov YOU STILL VERY CLEARLY SUCK. STOP TRYING BIPARTISAN BULLSHIT WITH FASCISTS.

It's becoming clearer to me how many people share posts like the one below but don't read the information provided. No, none of the mainstream payment processors allow even drawn porn, that's why pivoting to something like Backerkit isn't a reliable option. We need changes from the top.

I can't wait to try and use Instacart with it only for it to not ask me for any details and instead order a variety of uncurated milks from grocery stores in Des Moines, Iowa. (This happened to a tech journalist like a year ago, and I have no doubt that the technology still sucks at doing its job.)

No one is compelled to say anything. Here's the neat part. You don't want to use someones pronouns? Use their name! It's that easy. It's only prohibiting using certain pronouns as a form of harassment, not compelling the use of other pronouns.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

4. The majority argued not only that intentional and repeated misgendering does not substantially disrupt transgender students’ classroom experience, but that prohibiting such behavior would actually harm the cisgender students engaged in it, while ignoring the documented harm to trans students.

The replay is tonight at 8 PM eastern!!

i'm very glad this technology is being forced onto us everywhere on all levels

A true champion of equality wouldn't try to play nice with fascists... I'm deeply disappointed to see HRC ignoring the bad things she has done in favor of a feel good piece.

@schumer.senate.gov PLEASE DO YOUR COWARDLY DUTY TO RESIGN IN DISGRACE. YOU CAN PROBABLY GET SOME UNDESERVED PRAISE FOR IT TOO.

Quite the L from HRC for sweeping all her recent awfulness under the rug. Sure, she did some good things in the past, but she also did a whole lot of extra shitty things later. Hardly the definition of a champion for equality...

$10 says there will be a tech startup soon that proposes to ship batteries back and forth between Australia and other places, and that they'll say it's AI powered somehow.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Imagine being such a whiney baby that you'd threaten to completely relocate elsewhere rather than pay more taxes that you could easily afford and won't be substantially affected by.

do not talk to new york times reporters if you're trans do NOT talk to new york times reporters if you're trans DO NOT DO IT

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

That he won while completely rejecting the narrative that you can only win by ditching trans people is making me feel SO MANY THINGS
