I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

This thread explains my own feelings better than I can

We therefore learn from this learned commentary made by a Babylonian scribe over 2000 years ago, that in the Akkadian language, the word shitti means "shit"

Today, I've been reading a very old medical commentary from ancient Uruk, written in the Akkadian language. It's a tiny cuneiform tablet that explains words and phrases excerpted from another text - a diagnostic manual, known in antiquity as Sa-gig.

They’re chanting it in arenas now. “Fuck ICE.” Not fringe. Not hidden. Mainstream. Loud. Unfiltered. When institutions lose legitimacy, the streets stop whispering. ....They start shouting.

The idea seems to be that if you are Reasonable and Fair, the referee will intervene in the game and give you points, or penalize your opponent in some way. Like you're going to get a gold star for Sportsmanship. They've been waiting for this referee for decades. No sign of one yet.

So now we drain our planets life support systems so we can make stupid videos and have AI do homework for us… #stupidhumans #Datacenterssuck #AIoutofcontrol

look, scoff all you want, but i trust our nation's leaders to not even understand what these moves are designed to achieve and in any case to fail at every part of executing them

I question the accuracy of a poll that only includes two options, when Maine voters actually have four options: myself, David, Janet, and Graham. Maine has ranked choice voting. To ignore all but two candidates does a disservice to our democracy.

The Minnesota folks got them Fuck Ice chants hurling from the depths #AEWDynamite

there's a lot of squishy populism being thrown around by democrats but this is an issue that literally only old people and weirdos care about and it says a lot that Shapiro is announcing this like anyone gives a fuck

Hard pass. If you could see the messages I get every day from Mainers thanking me for staying in this race, people saying they’re ranking me first, and people who say the other candidates don’t represent their interests, you’d understand.

The ridiculous response & outrage from some fans that Brody wasnt on tv is exactly why he wasnt on tv. AEW is trying to make him a star, not a meme.

we’re not going to get anywhere until we stop letting companies pay millions in settlements instead of putting their leadership in fucking jail

EXTENDED VERSION OF “FUCK ICE” CHANTS IN MINNESOTA #AEWDynamite

Loudest I've ever heard them. Absolutely with all the pain and anger of a populace sick of the abuse.

Hell yeah Saint Paul. Fuck ICE indeed. 🤼 #AEWDynamite

This is amazing. I’m tearing up

Pete Hegseth's pastor said he wants James Talarico to die... now a few months ago ... when words had meaning... that would have sounded like a terroristic threat ... but you know ... white guys... doing white guy stuff.

This is both terrifying and also a terrible idea. But also Of COURSE they’re scabs. Of fucking course.

Thought of the day: Reminder to be kind to yourselves when trying to add new skills and habits because our brains are stupid and will tell us tall tales of inadequacy

My Thekla kids tee has made the migration over to the new ShopAEW website! shopaew.com/en-us/produc...

"This was the plan!" No, dumbass, David Ellison didnt hire Bari Weiss so everyone would turn off CBS News. He hired her to turn it into successful propaganda. She is failing because they're both MAGA idiots. It is not a grand plan. It is a disaster.

the trouble is, eventually at any real job you get to the part that can't be done by flattering some aging rich nincompoop or mewling about your imagined thoughtcrime cancellation, and on that day you are still Bari Weiss

Look, sometimes when people say they hate “liberals,” they mean “women.”

A reminder that if you want a series about a magical school, the talented @craigschaeferbooks.com is writing one. It has three books so far, they are excelent, and VERY queer. Give your money to non-bigots.

This is the part of US healthcare that does not get enough attention. 😪 Making sick people jump through hoops for the care they need to function is a cruelty beyond words. We deserve better. We have had ENOUGH.

More than 90% of liberals and leftists vote for the Democratic candidate in every election, this is a problem confined to the world of posting

weird how its ageism to ask politicians to politely give their seats to someone younger but it's not ageism to claim anyone young is just a wrecker who is trying to fuck things up for the democrats what with their "believing in things" and "wanting to make the world better".

Allen was told repeatedly he didn’t look sick. The SSD people said this repeatedly and refused to give him the aid he so desperately needed. It’ll be 8 years in May that I lost him. Not “looking sick” doesn’t mean people aren’t battling for their life. Just be kind

Feels like the Democrats have decided to be ineffectual lickspittles that are no threat to Republicans so they can keep their cushy jobs and only occasionally be affected by fascism

I hate how stupid everything is.

NEW: from pickup artists filming drunk women to pranks on retail workers, @milesklee.bsky.social looked at how Meta Ray-Bans are making annoying men everyone's problem: www.wired.com/story/the-ri...

Holy shit. I should know this stuff already. (for example) "Put two periods between two numbers with no spaces: laptop $500..$800 returns results mentioning prices in that range. The same syntax works for years (civil rights legislation 1964..1968) or any other measurement."

Never liked March Madness because my whole life other white dudes are always talking about some mostly white team that plays basketball "the right way" while trashing the NBA so I associate it with casual racism and nothing more

Best friend doggos reunited after a week apart.

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, younger generations aren’t ruining industries, they simply can’t afford to participate in them. Billionaires have their own planes and their own vacation homes. The travel industry relies on regular people having free time and money to spend vacationing.

Hello, I'm Jeff Politics. I have worked for the Washington Post for 43 years. I have 150 thousand followers on this site and I follow eleven people, three of whom are dead. I just dont find that bluesky offers me much.

“Unfortunately, in each of those cases, I did not have any open mana,” said Schumer, laying his elbow on the table to cover up his two untapped Islands, which had been gathering dust.

Chuck Norris jokes were the first memes that people who weren't funny could join in on. A true harbinger.

Chuck Norris fought the Grim Reaper and died just like any other human being. Also he was kind of a bigot.

For those who can… support local news and independent journalists

I’m doing it for all the weirdos out there. If I can do it, so can you.

The goal now is just to discipline labor and crush any popular anticapitalist movement. They’ve achieved a level of wealth that makes profit and loss pure abstraction, now they’re just focused on social control. Fighting taxes isn’t about wealth, it’s about starving the state of resources

2/ (1) The KKK claims to represent white people the way extreme Zionism claims to represent all Jews (2) Opposing the KKK’s ideology and actions is not hatred of White people

The other reason Dolores Huerta decided to speak up now - was to add her voice to the two teenage girls who came forward about their sexual assaults Why???? Why does there often need to be more than one rape or sexual assault victim in order for any to be believed⁉️
