Definitely worth the time of the generals and admirals

Fuckin yikes, man

This whole section really.

“There will be no federal takeover of Portland, Oregon.” 🔥 👀 Damn — @bynum.house.gov is. Not. Playing. Around.

ICE is one of the most well funded military force on the planet, entirely used internally on it’s own citizens, and completely loyal to a far right fascist dictator. if democratic politicians are not on board with abolishing ICE, they must be replaced

Happy Monday, everyone!

LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGENIC LITTLE BOY

This originally ran last year in the NYT. If you’re unsure about their quality of journalism, this credulous, disinterested slop piece should help answer the question of whether you should pay them money for a subscription.

"I hope your favorite Japanese IP gets turned into a mobile gacha game" is a real threat that can hurt you.

Some good news. $2.5B is something they’ll recoup in no time, of course, but it’s now a fine of a level that’ll show up on quarterly reports and start impacting their value. Unsatisfying, of course, but it’s FINALLY a meaningful penalty, even if it’s about the same as a light nut slap.

Good morning, but from the side

Good morning

I…don’t know what to make of this. If it works as advertised it could be a very useful bit of kitchen tech. The placement of that button, though, and that you have to hold it down gives me hand cramps just thinking about it; you pinch the blade’s end with your thumb and index finger for control.

This will go well for them, what with Nintendo not being a foreign company that’s even more litigious than Disney

Jeezus. H-1B workers have just had their visa costs increase by 20-fold, and they are a huge chunk of tech workers. Plus, they’ll have to pay that EVERY TIME they come back to the US, meaning ones here are pretty much stranded here. Short term gives crazy amounts of control; long term, brain drain.

Just a reminder, as covid vaccines become available, it's both moral and ethical to lie about your health conditions to get the shot. You're protecting yourself and your community against bad faith actors and disinformation by getting the shot, even if you're getting it under false pretenses.

Happy Rapture Day to all who celebrate 💋

apparently some people want a "blackout" period on bsky where we don't post at all, because of the new vague and ridiculous 'nonconsent in art' rules. Which is really stupid because then we're just being quiet about the things they /want/ us to be quiet about. Post more, complain more, shame them.

Ok, TV trivia question that’s driving me nuts cuz I can’t recall: What show—was it Game of Thrones?—where fans figured out some twist or story arc ahead of time, so the writers/directors ham-handedly changed the script just so they could be, “Nuh-uh, you thought it was that, but it was me, DIO!”

Good news, everyone!

Fox News is a cancer.

Disney is the John Fetterman of companies.

Solar pup

I sincerely don’t get why they’re all hitching their wagon to this horse, even if he’s got the gum-to-tooth ratio of a prize-winning palomino.

Protester found not guilty of assault against federal officer at L.A. immigration protest despite top Border Patrol official's testimony. Latest w/ @brittnymejia.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...

Look at how the gods have chained me, Brometheus, to this rock so that an eagle can feast upon my liver for an eon! For the crime of bringing humanity the fire of Pervert glasses!

We have such slides to show you.

Judging you

Yikes, husband is looking at retiring and health insurance if he does will cost $3500. PER MONTH. System is rigged so that you work until you die, or die as quickly as possible if you dare to exit employment.

If you’ve still got a subscription to WaPo, this might be a good time to reconsider that.

Great read, but the tl;dr is that Patel has all but destroyed the case for the prosecution by tainting evidence, the jury pool, and giving cause to believe the prosecution is politically or personally motivated.

“Patel, the FBI director, also offered a personal tribute at the press conference: "Rest now brother, we have the watch. I'll see you in Valhalla," he said in closing his remarks” I just cringed into a singularity

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

I’d tag Gavin Newsom to ask if this is the work we should be continuing, but the coward isn’t on here.

Literally monsters

Good gods, he’s only ~4 years older than me

brb dying 😂

“There is no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign, and refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”“

The design of this pokémon is at severe odds with its attack…

Final Space. I think they got three seasons, but TNT used it as a tax write-off so it never got its final season, and NEVER WILL because our IP laws are utter garbage. Olan, the creator, had to fight and fight just to be able to write a single-run graphic novel to finish the story.

A reminder when you visit other social media sites today

I’m still smiling at this what a queen

How is it everything keeps being so much DUMBER than expectations?

This is the stuff he needs to be remembered for.

Oh, come ON now, EU. I’m more surprised by this than I should be, though mostly because I didn’t think anyone across the ocean to either side even knew who this tiny-faced nematode was.
