ICE agents under Trump have shot at least 20 people who were inside their cars They did it again today, killing a father ICE said he "weaponized his vehicle" -- a claim they've often made & that often has turned out to be BS. The FBI is investigating...the dad. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/07/u...

I'm about to develop a theory of "positive dirtbaggery".

People who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.

England vs Mexico is the most lopsided cuisine matchup in the world.

Where are the armies of people who quote tweet mamdani's electricity caution tweets with "socialism" when power goes out for DTE customers for the fifth time in 3 months [a not uncommon statistic around here]? Where are the tweets saying "shareholder driven monopoly"?

"Colorado, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Michigan aren't the United States".

Not to be that guy, but I feel like this probably actually is a place where the primary responsibility has to lie with the parents.

This is Christopher Priest, one of the old school writers of Black Panther (1990s) & Marvel's 1st black editor, discussing his time/interactions with Larry Hama -- the guy who created the classic comics version of G.I. JOE. Hindsight of my own experiences makes this incredibly important to me.

Sometimes you gotta think about all the people who were absolutely prepared to execute this guy in spite of this.

I wonder about this. My high school taught us that Shia and Sunni were the two broad groups of Muslims, but not much else, that I recall.

I am listening to "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love" again and there is a part of me that always wants there to be a song I like better than the big single, but, no, drop dead is the best song on the album, it's no contest.

Look, if I was at the Democratic convention and somebody offered me a "veggie Talarico" taco, I would assume they were from the Talarico campaign.

LA jails just posted their 22nd in custody death for this year -- this time someone in the women's facility:

The "great man theory" of world history is lazy and flawed, but it hints at the more correct "stupid man theory" of world history.

"Tikun Olam", for those who don't know, is the responsibility to repair the world. It is wild to use it as an insult. "THESE Jews are focused on improving the world, not like the good ethno-nationalists!"

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

Spanberger vetoed a bill banning a practice that even Neil Gorsuch could see was an obvious problem.

I mean, I hate Trump, but, yeah, the US can't unilaterally dictate who gets ballistic missiles.

If Trump actually ends his War on Iran it will be the single best decision he's made in the conflict, regardless of concessions. He disproved a core belief of the Iran Deal critics, that a better outcome existed through threats and force. Catastrophic failure, bombs cannot secure what diplomacy did.

I just learned that the term "carbon footprint" was developed by BP to offload responsibility for climate change onto individuals. Something like that's happening in higher ed with AI. Institutions capitulate or dodge; students are submitting; & they believe it's their individual failing. 7/

In a society that actually cares about people, someone who's even believed to be stealing diapers would be met with assistance, resources, and money to make sure they would never again feel like they must steal for their basic needs. In the U.S., we respond by sending government sanctioned killers.

Mashed potatoes

Thing is, even if this were true, *you started the war!* You chose the timing! You had information about the existing stockpiles!

They're calling it "The Most Anime take of all time".

A lot of poli discourse on this app revolves around people demanding others not only accept their political practices (a thing we have no choice but to do) but also respect them. This was super evident with the Nazi tattoo guy. But it’s not gonna happen. Just gotta wait for the results to bear out.

I ordered chiles rellenos in Geneva once, and got jalapeño poppers.

While Knicks in 4 would have been cool, I think if they finish 4-1, with the 1 being the one Trump attended, that would be very funny.

My colleague @hannahalothman.bsky.social is in Belfast tonight. This is what she’s seen. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

I feel like I am being polarized against Alicia Gray.

Kamilla seems like she's having a good game!

If only there were a transwoman for her to be tied with.

This is correct and also does not go far enough. Ranch dressing is always bad.

I watched a recent video from @ginnydi.com about alignment in D&D. The video's basic argument is that alignment isn't that useful for PCs because it doesn't really tell you much about how to play your character. Which, sure, but I think this misses why alignment is useful during character building.

Spain has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

I've talked to more than one American Jew who began to question Zionism after they traveled to Israel. I've speculated that at some point that same phenomenon will begin to manifest among elites as well.

Listing a bunch of Jewish movements as Christian, but *not* the Messianics is actually hilarious.

Two things I've been saying: 1. Fascism is a naturally contracting coalition, and 2. It's a historical rarity that there's not more intra-Christian sectarian violence in the US.

Apropos of nothing, I think sometimes about how people say that "violent" (meaning "disruptive") protests will hurt the Dems, and I want to point out that in 2020 Biden won after protesters burned down a police station.

Cloud in the Sky!

Haaretz: IDF soldier shoots and kills 7 month old baby in Hebron, wounding his parents

The change comes as ICE has faced pressure after the death of 18 detainees so far this year. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Have we considered that this pilot is just bad?

I think I realized Olivia Miles was good, but I did not appreciate how good.

Brothers Delivering Water in Gaza for UNICEF Killed by Israel “The young martyrs were going to collect water for displaced people from ... a supposedly safe area. Unfortunately, the Israeli occupation, true to its treachery, opened fire on them and killed them.” Full story at our website.

My feeling about Fluorescence (Masie Peters) is that it's...not bad. It's not what I was hoping for after listening to The Good Witch, but from the singles, it's in line with what I expected. It didn't have any songs that immediately jumped out at me, but several that I feel like are growing on me.

A true BlueSky supporter.

Paxton asking the hard hitting questions that matter to real Americans.

I don't like to comment too much on other people's religion, but I feel like if you believe G-d is definitively male, you cannot really also claim gender has anything to do with genitalia or chromosomes.
