Stepping into bsky and seeing a shitload of people talking about a guy's Nazi tats, and apparently it is a Dem candidate is just... what is even going on? The news cycle is a hell of a drug. I think I need rehab.

New Republican slogan? "No rules, just Reich."

I have to say that the VRA case is leaving me feeling the most hopeless I've felt in a very long time. The intent is clear: If we can't goad you into letting us have you shot so we can use the Insurrection Act, we'll just make sure you can never win an election again.

Feels like this will be a useful meme for the next few years

...people on the subway do know that we can see them wipe their nose with their bare hand, fingers and all, and then examine the results of their mining expedition, right???

This is the most damning thing Hochul can say. Literally. She's far too spineless for anything more serious. But it's still important that she said it.

Simchat Torah two nights in a row (Israel time vs Diaspora time) has me feeling something special. If you're reading this, I'm grateful we all made it to this time and this year. I hope it brings you and us all good things.

Oh, yes, I firmly believe that cartels want to kill random ICE agents. This is definitely not an effort to increase the justification of lethal force against protesters. abcnews.go.com/US/cartels-i...

Why do we have a strong reaction to this? Because we rightly feel nearly alone out here. Most people, let alone people in power, leave us feeling unseen or worse, abandoned if not outright hated or rejected. When people like Mamdani don't just name check us, but speak in detail, it matters.

Umm, @lookitup.baby, I know you've seen the thing, but have you seen this thing? I feel like you should be getting royalties. www.thehonktweet.com/museum

The last living hostages have returned to Israel. Now bring home the dead, and begin the work of guiding Gaza to a safe and stable future.

How do you choose a job driving if you are afraid of driving? My driver was just sitting in an entrance lane barely accelerating at all with his blinker on holding up traffic behind him. My good sir, step on it and assume your rightful lane. You ain't gotta pedal here.

I just got my first Christmas ad email, folks. 😂 You bastards are NOT invading spooky season on me.

*throws something fragile and irreplaceable at the wall*

Ways to tell you're around one of THOSE people: Look for the HP Blursed Child lock screen on their phone. 🙄 Grow up, people. It's well past time to know that you're supporting a hate campaign with every damn cent.

"don't worry, we'll vote them out in November" the voting in November:

I wish any British politician would say anything even half as good as this

RIP John Lodge

What's the phrase? Hug Ops to Microsoft and whoever the hell made a very unpleasant misconfiguration today, as well as all the sysadmins in the middle of config changes who thought they'd borked their entire tenant. Yours truly was one of 'em. 😂

Another brilliant stroke by the MTA, another day of "This train is going express, there's another one right behind this one!" And it is... Several minutes away. Then it shows... Also going express. Oh wait, number three just came! The MTA couldn't competently run a casino.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened. This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

It's a meme to say "Release the Epstein files" now, but can we for a moment just remember that Trump almost certainly raped young girls and the entire Republican establishment is covering for him - if not themselves as well?

🤗 Just remember: 💜 Every day is better than the next! 💜 🤗

BREAKING: Trump is seeking $10 BILLION+ for a farmer bailout. Why the hell is my money going to bail out people who voted for Trump, who hurt them financially? Meanwhile he's taking healthcare away from people who need it.

Somewhere, @vivziepop.bsky.social is suddenly inspired to make Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel even more queer (if possible) in response.

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack. As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all. Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

If the Post cares about a politician meeting with a sponsor of the Kill The Gays bill in Uganda, it's a fair guess they aren't doing it because they care about gays.

Can't help but notice that the trans and gender diversity section on our harassment training was "optional extras" this year.

Happy New Reddit Interface Day to all who are forced to celebrate! I swear it looks like it's about to rebrand to "Redd(AI)t" just looking at it.

Two years. Bring them home.

apparently this post was temporarily marked as “intolerant” lol

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

You know you're a female presenting when you accidentally make a line in the bathroom when there doesn't need to be one

Just because I can survive harsh conditions doesn’t mean I should have to. Graphic: @standplaatskrk.pl

I saw friends, made friends with a six year old at a bar (with parents and aunt), caught a fav punk pop band, and heard another band cover Alkaline Trio's Radio. What a fucking great night. 😍🥰💜

I love meeting small children. I was out for the Yankee game tonight such as it was, and a young girl was enjoying her birthday with her family, and she commented on my tattoos. She became my bestie for those two hours. 😍

If you hide your gender identity to fit in, never feel like you've betrayed yourself🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 It's proof that you have a beautiful and kind heart. Chiitan will continue to send out messages until the world becomes a place where you can live with confidence and be yourself.

The worst part of The Rock is that they don't tell US who killed JFK. We might get our fucking Tylenol and vaccines back if we can answer that.

“We’re good on opsec”

Yes, I know that October is both Cybersecurity Awareness month and Domestic Violence Awareness month. It is my month of maximum awareness, when I am at my most powerful.

This is the single clearest and full-throated answer I've heard yet, and it makes me glad I've chosen to vote for him. We may differ on some nuance, but "We can't answer a war crime with a war crime" is a pretty damned clear answer.

I realize this was almost certainly coming before January, but given everything else occurring right now, it is deeply concerning. This isn't just how you stop people from "escaping justice," but from fleeing, too.

Cities are better without cars. I was just walking to my office off the subway and immediately felt a sense of "It's not crowded, why does it feel so quiet?" and only minutes later realized there were no cars - they were stuck a few blocks up behind a truck that couldn't make a turn.

Rowling and Emma Watson's argument is painful to watch😢 Good-hearted transgender people never intend to hurt anyone else. They just want to love who they want to love and live according to their soul's direction. Chiitan stands by the hearts of good-hearted transgender people. I love everyone

Bezos makes around $26m a DAY. Annually to give all ~900 firefighters in Detroit a $5k pay bump it would cost him less than $5m. Being mega-rich is inherently unethical.

Based on advice from r/sysadmin, I'm creating a risk register. Pray for me.
