Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

OMG what the hell. This is just cruel Jewelry often has a value beyond the practical, it's often a reminder of loved ones. Could this timeline be a little less reminiscent of 1930ies Germany?

I'm a gen Xer married to a millennial. I've never showed Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, or Clerks the animated series to my partner. Not even Futurama. Am I evil, or just incompetent?

It's not too late for Bluesky to stop being idiots and unban Sarah Kenzior. But it is almost too late. For fucks sake, stop being idiots.

Welp, it's nice to see this after I wrote about Khan's email months ago 🙌

One can only hope the devil is warming up a new, special circle of hell for the religious hypocrites in the GOP. "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." Mark 7:6

I so want to be out there working the problem as best I can right now, but I'm so frickin' sick. It's driving me nuts.

Absolutely. Trotting out Megyn Kelly to say "it's not child rape if the victim is a young-looking 15-year-old" is just step one of the upcoming rehabilitation of serial sexual predator Donald Trump. Get ready for an avalanche of grotesque justifications & victim-blaming. It's coming.

The two genders of French museum: FRENCH IS THE BESTEST BEST LOOK AT ALL OUR SHINY SHIT and Oops we may have done a bit of colonialism and slavery whoopsie but it's fine now right? 😬

I need you people to get ready to accept the fact that even with confirmation of sex crimes with Epstein, Trump will not lose MAGA.

I just have to point out that you can't get insurance if you have anything wrong with you, cancer, sure, but even acid reflux.

shocked.

My partner is kinda thinking some climate change, maybe enough to drown Florida, that might be ok. (Asshole French gonna French 😂)

I would have told you last week that the least cool social media network is Mastodon, but after suspending Sarah Kendzior for using a Johnny Cash lyric, this is officially the land of uptight Karens.

I'm thinking of posting some Johnny Cash lyrics, can anyone point me to how I export my data first, just in case?

What the hell is this nonsense about suspending Sarah Kendzior? Is this some clever way of trying to get us to federate? Ban really good people, maybe people will run their own bsky server?

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

I'm coming around to the idea that the faster Democrats are wiped out and put in the dustbin of history, the faster a real opposition to Trump and fascism can be built.

So healthcare is going to partially collapse and return to the bad ol days of people dying in the streets because they can't access care. Well, no. The dying of preventable causes in the street never went away. Just some more middle class people got access to doctors.

Well... With the exception of a large fracking outfit. They probably know when they're going to start working. 😂

My partner and I put something on to fall asleep to. We did not manage to fall sleep. Today was rough. 🫠 Anyway, fantastic work from the Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

This shit is why everyone hates the Democrats.

Trump’s funding cuts to international efforts to end the global threats of malaria, TB and HIV, will result in millions of preventable deaths. Each death is someone’s son or daughter, husband, wife, parent or friend.

Too real.

Every pol is gangster until the holidays get cancelled.

Are we *absolutely sure* Starmer isn't secretly working for Farage?

I literally thought this was some new Trump hell until I got to "Leicester" What the hell are you doing, Britain? We used to be friends.

Perhaps try reading this, written by Sharon Begley in 2021 before she died, as a counter to all the "Oh, Watson wasn't really sexist or racist. His denigration of Franklin was a bit to show that biology was fun, and hey, he went to Africa!" hagiographies. www.statnews.com/2025/11/07/j...

Gavin Newsom seems to be determined to find out if you can shit post your way into the presidency. *This is distinct from what Trump did, which is merely posting shit until he became president.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

New Yorkers are like Parisians and Londoners. They're not really movable, poor creatures.

So I've had a very probable SIBO for a while now. If you don't know what that is, lucky you, probably a good idea to keep it that way 😬 Started 3x 400mg Rifaximin 10 day course, and friends, I am not sleeping at all. Not even slightly drowsy. Just very tired. It's going to be a long 10 days.

I've put this here mean girl network back on my phone. Please don't make me regret it, bsky 😂

If you donate to your local food bank remember your employer might match your donations and double them. Every month I send $50 and they get $100

Hey guys just checking in to see how Bluesky is doing.

A new dance floor AND a public toilet!

I note many Americans here are reacting to news of Dick Cheney's death about the way Brits reacted when Thatcher died.

The next SNL is gonna be fuckin lit.

hakeem jeffries shut the fuck up challenge

I'm hoping for Mamdani for president after Trump finishes his 4th term.

Old and busted: “A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.” New hotness: “A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer should make all the management decisions.”

Trump, otoh, knows who he's pardoning, it's right there on the check.

TIL that Zuckerberg was an Obama stan, but Obama criticized him (or Facebook? unclear) once & he went over to fascism because his feeling got hurt. It is the saddest thing that they fucking delicate flowers get supported and worshiped by the kind of tough-as-shit people who survive in US poverty.

State AGs, particularly California's Rob Bonta but it could be any of them, should be out front right now saying they will use the Sherman Act to block an illegal 5:4 studio merger

Things are rough out there for a lot of folks, and it seems a good time to repost this. medium.com/a-side-of-my... The broken people, the weirdos, the sads, the uncomfortably pointing things out, the sometimes can't get out of bed, you're going to need us when all this bullshit falls apart.

Unpopular opinion, but I don't care that much what they do with the Whitehouse, I'm much more concerned about what they're doing to the people and civil institutions while distracting us with the Whitehouse.
