The smartest newsroom in America: is intentionally hitting two people with a vehicle at 70 miles per hour some sort of crime?

What the fuck?

THE CITY has obtained an oversight report about Ardit Billa’s death on Rikers Island.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.

The reason why everything is so fucking terrible is because the worst of humanity owns everything

The Dept. of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the U.S.

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education. I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”. Here is a portion:

Get bent, Peter Baker. They are our neighbors, not political playthings. You have actively made this country worse with your “reporting”. What “news” is there here? This is nothing but dangerous speculation. I would say shame on you, but I don’t think you have the capacity for shame.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

why are these people just plain evil?

On May 10, 1933, Nazis burned the library of The Institute for Sexual Science. The Institute was founded by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. Its community clinic pioneered healthcare for queer, trans, & intersex people. The Institute was targeted & attacked as part of a Nazi government censorship program.

they want all trans people to detransition or die and everyone who led us to this point has every last bit of that blood on their hands

THIS IS ILLEGAL. He literally does not have legal authority to do this. Do NOT obey in advance.

is it uncharitable to say, i hope the new york times leadership gets not one moment of peace after this

utterly insane

this truly is the everything app that was promised

anyone use INSERT INTO .. BY NAME with a view of a read_csv that has union_by_name and Hive partitioning with DuckDB? Whenever I try to apply a filter on the partition key, I get a parsing error where it looks like it’s expecting the key to be in the files. #datasky #dataBS

PSA for cat owners in the US: cats have been contracting H5N1 (bird flu). They are very susceptible to it and the fatality rate for cats is 67%. To avoid it: -keep your cats indoors. They can catch it from infected birds and mice. -do not feed them raw dairy -do not feed them raw meat

I have one gripe with The Last of Us. Ellie mentions Starbucks “all over the [Boston] QZ”, but this version of Boston is frozen in 2003. So where are the Dunks? smh horrible writing Druckmann and Mazin

Bluesky’s incredible growth up until now can be pretty directly attributed to people fleeing here to avoid the exact kind of virulently toxic social media behavior Singal and his ilk represent and I think it’d be a pretty shockingly stupid own-goal for Bluesky to start chucking that aside now

more pizza parlors should provide baba ghanouj as a condiment

Jesse Singal is a liar and a fraud of a journalist and I will prove it as an unassailable fact in this thread. I'll also talk about why I don't think BlueSky moderation will do anything about him afterwards so stick around or maybe just skip to that if you don't want to read the boring details.

Hi @aaron.bsky.team and @safety.bsky.app, These are clear-cut, unambiguous violations of your terms of service, with zero plausible deniability. OP cites chapter and verse in the replies. Your lack of action is making it clear that Jesse Singal is not bound by the rules, just protected.

The only reason Bluesky exists in the form it does today is through the efforts of an entire community of trans shitposters. They are the bedrock foundation of this place and Bluesky needs to acknowledge that and take special measures to protect them. This is the very least Bluesky owes trans folks.

SPOILER ALERT I already got the best present under my tree. 🎄
