Sure looks like GEO group is in the concentration camp and torture business

Goddam but i would like at least a few months of good news at a scale and speed which matches and overtakes all this bad

If a Democratic governor talks about punching people in the mouth, he is obviously filled with insatiable bloodlust. If a Republican president talks about punching people in the mouth, you’re the violent one for thinking he was being serious.

Not sure how to feel about this anti-rat propoganda. In Seattle we worship our rats as dieties

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

this is fucking epic, and i do not use that word lightly. holy shit. @sadqueer4life.bsky.social

This is EXCELLENT. 1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome. 2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.

Who needs furniture or medicine when we have AI?

1. A new The 19th/SurveyMonkey Poll finds that a majority of Americans are against trans youth care bans. This includes a majority of Independent voters, casting doubt on the narrative that Democrats need to pull back on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I already went in a bear in BG3

I've said this before, but I feel pretty strongly that the building of concentration camps - and now, the inevitable disappearance of 1,800 people from those camps - is the biggest story in American public health right now that isn't being treated like one

I don't know man, it looks like an existential time for local news.

Great news: Sales at Pike Place Market were up 7.5% in August too! That's three months of solid data showing the pedestrianization pilot is good for business. Add your ideas for how to keep the momentum going into the fall: actionnetwork.org/letters/pike...

Today's column: "But in the days following the assassination, it became no longer enough to say you condemn the killing. No, you also had to praise and valorize Kirk, a man who was outspoken on his opinions about Black people, immigrants, transgender people and others."

LOL. Not Disney releasing a Star Wars trailer hoping that will appease the masses. They are desperate.

Still not paying for Dinsey+

Seattle friends, if you cancelled your Disney+ subscriptions, use this as a great opportunity to support @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social - they are awesome!

Lesbians would have never allowed any of this to happen

The primary diff between writing fiction and nonfiction is when you write nonfic, you research a topic for 2 weeks and then write 1000 words on it and when you write fiction you research a topic for 2 weeks and get one sentence out of it.

From Wired a few weeks ago. A lot of the people who I was told for years were the adults in the room are being asked how they want to be remembered, and that answer is very clearly "cowards." www.wired.com/story/uncann...

Love that we reinvented the witchfinder general

Hold on, these are the "we don't have to bake your gay wedding cake" people?

I go up to the attic and search for a locked box. "I knew I kept this around for a reason," I say to myself, blowing dust off the lid which reveals the words: Judge Judy. I open the box and rifle through it until I find what I'm looking for:

So like can we still refuse to make cakes we find personally offensive or what?

"Healthy debate" = when I criticize you "Cancel culture" = when you criticize me

DC comics planting their flag on the moral high ground on the side of a white nationalist, transphobe while dutifully carrying on his rotten work in the firing of Gretchen Felker-Martin. The characters of the DC universe would find this despicable.

"All viewpoints should be treated equally, but some viewpoints are more equal than others"

BIG BOAT STUCK

Simply the best slide I have ever seen in a powerpoint presentation care of @premeemohamed.com’s talk at @banffcentre.bsky.social re: Putting the Science in Science Fiction

Here in Seattle real estate execs and lobbyists are the top donors to Harrell’s corporate PAC. They are terrified that @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social will end their monopoly and bring rents down.

The five words every abuser fears most are "what did you just say?"

Is this good?

I'm scared I will draw the Wrath of the Fanboys, but... this week on my newsletter I wrote about why I think the "Golden Age of Science Fiction" writers have so little appeal to a huge swathe of today's SF/F writers & readers. undercover-in-the-apocalypse.ghost.io/this-is-why-...

It should be illegal to make someone download an app onto their personal device for work

They keep losing in court because everything they’re doing is illegal

The Everglades Concentration Camp costs 3x one of these trains.

Produce the bodies, be they alive or dead.

Dear Democratic Leaders, If you won’t stand up for trans people and their rights, you’re tellling me you won’t stand up for *anyone* or *any rights* the second they come under attack. You’re telling me you don’t stand for anything at all. Also, they’re *people*. Grow a spine or get out the way.

Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks www.axios.com/2025/08/26/a...

RFK Jr: What you need right now mr president is leeches. I happen to have a briefcase full of them

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy
