I would never say "Brit" when UKian is right there.

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force. Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.

Does he know that this makes him sound like a pathetic coward?

Not ICE. Not Border Patrol. Just the same rotten local cops we've always had

I need a ruling on this from @joedacey.bsky.social

Cool hey did anything happen *before* 1979 between the United States and Iran

the plan, such as it is, appears to be “bomb a country of 90 million people that is already facing a water crisis into a failed state, walk away and declare victory” this is a monstrous nightmare regardless of whether or not it “works”

Somebody help me remember what this song is from, and no, it's not the A-Team.

Riding my bike in Baltimore after our big storm meant dodging into the left lane to avoid snowbanks and also pedestrians standing in the road waiting for the bus because there was a snowbank covering the sidewalk. Not great for anyone who wasn't in a car.

Next time someone tells me my rail trail is sufficient bike infrastructure I will suggest we build highways with no exits

Teachers & students will be in Annapolis today. I expect many will ask the city delegation why our electeds see fit to deprive them of a formal role in selecting Board members. Every other jurisdiction trusts the community to elect the majority of their Board. But not Baltimore. We deserve no less.

it’s wild how everyone hates Fetterman (correctly) and there’s a guy running who’s basically holding a huge I’m The Next Fetterman sign and it hasn’t slowed him down at all

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

The NYT style guide

we reached the “no WMDs” phase in two days.

A little bigger than Baltimore, but no traffic deaths. www.politico.eu/article/hels...

Need to warn @thumbnailsketch.bsky.social not to get into this van.

I got a fixie today and rode it around a little. It’s an old Peugeot with a Deda stem, narrow flat bars with wooden grips(!!), Sugino messenger cranks, Origin8 chainring, 42/15 gearing, flip-flop hub, and a front brake. Took it for a short ride and it’s a lot to get used to! I welcome tips!

Politics has content as well as form. Marjorie Taylor Greene can *formally* issue a better denunciation of the attack on Iran than a lot of Democrats. In terms of the content of her politics, however, she remains a genocidally racist, antisemitic, homophobic, and transphobic christofascist bigot.

Bit weird to see so many people saying the US has attacked Iran as a distraction from the Epstein files. I mean, if that didn't sound ridiculous in and of itself, which it does, then you'd have to completely ignore the US's history of conflict as a little treat.

Carl is one of the funniest people on here

other people can make inroads and find common ground with regretful trump voters, in my personal capacity as a private citizen i am committed to hating those dumb motherfuckers for the rest of my life

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

Trump : we stand with the brave iranian people fighting oppression People : so iranians in the us with asylum claims will b- Trump : deported, yes

Sam Altman picked a hell of a day to basically urge the world to trust the morality and legal restraint of the Department of Defense

This doesn’t help me figure out who blew up the elementary school for girls.

Love it when an Onion article has been relevant my entire adult life

I can’t believe that the guy who extorted a Nobel Peace Prize would start another war.

Bring Jonatan home

Bike party! Abolish ICE

Counterpoint: tens of thousands of people in the US are killed every year, so why not limit car engines to 70bhp?

Just finished the Behind the Bastards episodes on the impact of Jeffrey Epstein. And like a takeway is that he started funding anti-trans research because he allegedly SA'd a trans girl (she was 16 at the time) who turned around and sued his ass for it and he was mad that she sued him.

Did they let OpenAI pick the targets? Or was this still part of the Anthropic deal? Given all the lawsuits, OpenAI seems much more focused on harming children. (Also: I hate it here.)

How did that work out for Sega?

2015: Obama signs a multi-national Iran Nuclear agreement, stopping Iran's nuclear program. 2018: Trump withdraws U.S. from Iran Nuclear Agreement, giving Iran the green light to reboot their nuclear program. 2026: Trump wants to go to war with Iran because they rebooted their nuclear program. 🫤

Every stage of this process - his arrest, spending a year in jail, being dumped on the streets to die - would be deeply shameful in a society that actually valued human life.

They lied and here's the video proof. I cannot believe we're just gonna keep on like this and absolutely nothing happens

BPD officer Omar Rodriguez has fatally shot two Baltimore residents in less than a year baltimorebeat.com/bpd-officer-...

if you don't support trans rights you're a fascist full stop

As somebody who is constantly being menaced by cars doing 30+ in a 15 while riding my bike in the park, IT JUST MAKES SENSE.

Say it loud, say it proud, tell your mama, tell your kids: don’t vote for Gavin Newsom.

Mississippi used its federal funding to pay Brett Favre for inspirational speeches that he didn't show up to

We don't accept sorry we demand seppuku

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

historical detail I can't help but bring up: by some accounts, the event that instigated the British soldiers to open fire on Crispus Attacks and the rest of the crowd in the Boston Massacre was a soldier being hit by a snowball

Repeat after me: I will never vote for that transphobic, Nazi-platforming piece of shit Gavin Newsom.
