The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously: -Trump preternaturally understands the ebb and flow of the media and does perform for it -His inner circle is in a mad dash to turn the US into a fascist ethnostate -Like all authoritarian regimes, they're grossly incompetent

Still need to pay internet this month and then keep up the momentum paying for that and electricity next month. Please help me if you can. Please. #MutualAidHelp #MutualAidBoost #EmergencySky #HelpSky

Right now it's a tossup as to whether you're suggesting this because you know it's useless but you want to present as helpful, or you genuinely have no idea what you're saying.

Mike Johnson compellingly making the case for abolishing ICE ...

We're very far behind target right now, so if you're rich I'd like to ask you for some assistance.

The distinction between identifying as liberal, leftist, or anti-MAGA conservative functionally means literally nothing. It has basically no bearing on someone's commitment to sets of ethical values and their willingness to act on them as it relates to the current domestic situation of America.

where's the gofundme

It's All Too Much

While the creator of Dilbert turned into a racist Twitter troll, the creator of Foxtrot turned into a reliable Bluesky shitposter.

Can't wait for the sequel.

Oopsies "A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department."

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

Just passed 50k! He could probably use quite a bit more!

This week, I thought I would share some of the vis dev pieces I've done for the the Autumn people and their world! Today I want to share some of the style explorations I did for trees and different bushes. #art #sketch #visualdevelopment #visdev #illustration #plants #trees

What if its a giant robot made of dinosaurs?

So...what're the odds he drew the pig on the cup himself then went home and faked a good cry before he called his boss about it?

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

Influx of new users, so everyone remember your SOP: 1. Skeets. We call them skeets. 2. post yer lewds. 3. Freaky shit on main (summon the Alf Hog!)

The “Iran is full of Gryffindors” thing is semantically identical to Justin Bieber saying Anne Frank would have been a Belieber

The Secret of Monkey Island LeChuck's Revenge: Monkey Island 2 Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force

Lenore is in a bad, potentially dangerous spot with their wheelchair Please help if you can!

Right here. Remember how they had a vote to repeal the ACA every day for two years? Why are the Dems not doing that with impeachment??

It was a mistake not to prosecute the Nixon administration, it was a mistake not to prosecute the Bush administration, it was a mistake not to prosecute the first Trump administration, and it will be a FATAL mistake not to prosecute the second Trump administration.

Literally the first news outlet I've seen directly quoting her wife. Even the NPR piece on Renee Good that aired this morning made no mention of Becca Good whatsoever.

Reminder that the argument against GenAI has MULTIPLE points and all matter: 1. It is theft 2. It puts people out of work 3. It uses disproportionate resources 4. It removes artistic agency Do not let someone go "but they don't do 1 and 2!" Distract you from the others

The rage that has to exist in the average Minnesotan to watch someone stuck on an icy hill and STAND BY AND TAUNT THEM

NEW: Yeah, so, about that... @mattburgess1.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/x-didn...

"Paywalled" is the word you're looking for. They didn't turn it off. The only thing that changed is X now explicitly makes money off CSAM.

...How much money do we gotta throw at Blind Guardian to get them to perform this?

You used to be able to smoke inside restaurants and other public buildings.

I can name three (little me was THRILLED when I got to open these up on Christmas morning)

Make it viral.

Friends, you HAVE to stop posting on that evil site.

MST3K is the root of at least 50% of all YouTube, and informs most media criticism in new media. So it should be the first winner.

Don’t wake me from my eternal slumber until Disney produces 5 seasons and a movie based on whatever the hell is going on in this poster from my childhood

important message to all bluesky users

They also killed someone in Camarillo in July. The way that the invasion of LA has been memory holed even as it continues to this day, makes me insane

Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.

This the right call. Please check in with neighbors who may need support with childcare.

Post something beautiful to combat the awful.

"She said she felt as if the ICE agents were untrained, inexperienced and didn’t know what they were doing. Heller said the driver was being told to leave but also being instructed to stop at the same time, then the man "just fired" his gun."

The internet bill is now $56.41. I am not understanding Frontier about this. In any case, please help pay for electricity, internet, food and supplies, please. Please help! #MutualAidHelp #MutualAidboost #EmergencySky #HelpSky

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Now they need to do the same and more for that grad student instructor at OU

This is also a call for reposts of my posts, because I am once again kinda despairing at the disparity between these vitally important posts and the fun stuff in terms of engagement. It's understandable but also causing spiking cortisol levels in my brain. 🖤♥️🫡
