Academics vying for a spot in Epstein‘s world. There are so many. I feel the need to make a thread, so I don’t keep confusing them. 1/

It's not a coincidence that all the ads you see for vibe coding products are for the dumbest shit possible. "Have you ever wanted a custom workout app? Now you can build one without any coding skill!" No, a piece of paper is a perfectly fine "custom workout app". Get out of my office.

This isn't quite what it looks like. It's not really about Open Source Software itself, it's about the failure of the business model that largely took over open source funding a few decades back: corporate sponsorship as means to monetization. 🧵

And while we're at it, why do I have to pay taxes to support all public schools when my kid only goes ONE? I should only be expected to support the public goods that I personally use. Anything else is tyranny. Protip: Care or not, but this individualist bs is literally how we got to this point.

Dril is now the Susan Sarandon of Ralph Naders

As of the last Fed Reserve survey (2023), the median household (avg 2.5 people) has a net worth less than $200k. If all the net worth held by all people in the US ($160 trillion) were distributed evenly, each person (not household), kids included, would have almost $500k.

I, for one, think it's really cute that some people thought the Washington Post had any credibility left to lose.

Not really trying to say that pieces like this aren't necessary, but I think we need to all to agree to begin and end them with some version of IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT POWER IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE *THING* 🧵

It's like when people forget Alexis de Tocqueville was contemporaneously clear eyed about the cruel joke of the US declaring all men created equal while subsisting on slavery. People refuse to see because their privilege allows them to not see.

But One Battle After Another had bad character names 🙄

Imagine thinking this *could* be true. A single Five Guys order for my son alone (sure, largest burger and fries on the menu) is more than 25% of our weekly family grocery budget. The same amount spent on ingredients for burgers/fries at home would feed our whole family at least three dinners.

Every story I read about the revocation of TPS for Haitians makes me shake with rage. I am no longer surprised at the cruelty of this regime, but it is deeply shameful that our country is doing this. This is simply ethnic cleansing.

“These 9 people were killed by ICE this month and you’re throwing me out while I read their names. How fucking dare you!” @waltermasterson.bsky.social @davidsonboswell.bsky.social stevexnroberts @climatenate.bsky.social zivon_toplin @tomsuozzi.bsky.social is a YES TO FUND ICE !

not even demands to get members of congress access to the concentration camps. not even demands for oversight, medical care, decent food. not even a little demand to give Liam his bunny hat and Spidey backpack back. just bodycams.

We may have missed an opportunity to build a truly public alternative to WisEye. In any case we should keep pushing for more transparency and accessibility. (2/2) shepherdexpress.com/news/feature...

I’m glad WisEye is back but this should never have happened in the first place. The public should have access to the work we do on their behalf — without recordings/broadcasts, that’s not possible. (1/2)

So this is mostly a way for Trump to prop up the stock market via retail investors and pretend it's helping kids?

This is why abuse victims were some of the best at predicting administration behavior for the past decade.

gentle 🤝 rebellion "... a belief that doomscrolling impinges upon leisure time, notifications disturb peace, and algorithms pollute discourse, paired with a simultaneous unwillingness to forfeit any of those things." @joelkhalili.bsky.social @wired.com

Are we going to see a complete reversal of the situation-dependent positions that so many conservatives insist are based on deep values? Seems possible. The right was deep in a "states rights" moment with the goal of invalidating federal gun regulations when Scalia signed on to this opinion.

This sane washing of two deeply unserious charlatans is worth study. 🧵

My football coach was always telling me we couldn't have done anything differently when we lost. It was always the other team's fault, or actually it was the fans' fault. We spent hours watching film to spot the fan that was the least supportive. So many didn't even come to the game! 🙄

Please pay attention to what's happening in Minneapolis, Minnesota. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY Reposts are appreciated.

Please call Voces de la Frontera's ICE verifier phone number at 1-800-427-0213 if you need to confirm a rumor about ICE activity OR you witness potential ICE activity in the Milwaukee area. We need to be prepared in MKE -- that requires minimizing misinformation and panic. bsky.app/profile/byma...

Seriously. Use 10% of it to give undocumented folks papers, take the rest and do good things for people.

The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is not to convince the regime they're wrong. The goal of #NonviolentCivilResistance is to convince the people to work together to make it impossible for the regime to sustain itself. We aren't nonviolent for the regime. We're nonviolent for each other.

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

“The victims are the Border Patrol Agents.” Gotta end the culture of police impunity. That you feel comfortable saying that is a demonstration we let police in general get away with anything.

The place we need to get people to, on both sides of the Atlantic, is immigration enforcement is not a priority. It should rank far below littering on our priorities as a society. We're talking about paperwork here.

spotted on Reddit, a little bit of history repeating

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

If you can't impeach this guy, you're incompetent. Clearly an unfit liar or incompetent at analyzing video.

Democrats: here’s a handy cheat sheet of the current state of discourse so you can send your consultant money directly to support groups instead: Leftist: revolution Liberal: impeachments + trials Centrist: Nuremberg-style trials Libertarian: abolish ICE Conservative: reform ICE Fascist: more ICE $

Maybe there's a simple answer that I'm missing, but what is preventing the MNNG from performing essentially these same ICE-watch operations that unc and grandma are doing now?

The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is not to convince the regime they're wrong. The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is to convince the people to work together to make it impossible for the regime to sustain itself. We aren't nonviolent for the regime. We're nonviolent for each other.

/6 Watch, as this unfolds, two key things: (1) how blatantly the Gestapo will lie, and demand that you ignore what you can see plainly, and (2) how uselessly, how pathetically, how impotently the media will treat those lies and dither at this murder, craven publicists to evil.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

If democrats can't grow a spine and do something right now I really don't know what is going to happen. Are they waiting for a certain number of peaceful citizens to be murdered before doing something? I know they're "scared of appearing anti-cop" or whatever but are they scared of civil war at all?

No, the core principle has always been: "There is an in group, which the law protects and does not bind, and an out group that is bound by law but not protected"

UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:

The next big step of socioeconomic production system consciousness is realizing we could just do this all the time.

I need you to stop scrolling for a moment & meet @seligmanforag.bsky.social. This guy is BOTH spearheading workers' huge legal case against Big Tech AND he’s running in the Dem primary for Attorney General, where he’d be able to do even more. THIS is what we need from politics right now👇

It's all in the AP story but @wisconsineye.bsky.social needs to raise money so that the state will unlock matching funds. Here is the Go Fund Me: www.gofundme.com/f/help-wisco...

Certainly self-serving, as a Mets fan, but this is the worst news I've heard for baseball as a whole in a long time. @johndemarsico.bsky.social was an inspiration and a near daily delight. I've watched so many Mets games just for the guys in the booth and the truck, irrespective of the field.

Y'all don't need TikTok that bad. Holy hell those terms and conditions.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
