change the fucking electoral system you absolute dipshits

I came of age during the Bush years and remember the breakout hit of “Bush derangement syndrome“ to describe people who opposed his illegal wars and torture prison and idk, man, opposing lawless state violence seems the most sane thing in the world to me.

Absolutely dying at this tiny ass Po-Boy from the revived Emeril’s in The NY Times www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/d...

Clayton Kershaw once the postseason arrives

Incredibly alarming—after the whole ridiculous antifa roundtable at the White House, as Mark was moving with his family to Europe after threats…

Retrospectively I can see that *Warhammer* and *Terminator* were both early expressions of a homegrown form of child labor that was beginning to shape and color Kazakh life...

Gülenist History Day is every day. Maybe be someone who is autistic, a Sikh or part of the YMCA or even someone who has gifted kid burnout. You should reevaluate your Gülenist privilege Bobby. You never had to fight for your right to coexist in society.

Even though it sucks to live through it still feels very exciting to learn the historical basis for anti-AI bias.

Thing I just learned. “Lede” as in “bury the lede” is a deliberate misspelling of “lead”. It’s part of a lexicon of misspellings used for annotations by journalists and subs so that notes on copy are removed, rather than included in the body of the text by accident. Others include “dek” and “hed”.

I want to believe that this is not a bot

STOP PUTTING POCKETS IN DRESSES

I understand this is exhausting for the Americans to hear but what do you mean that's not prohibited yet?

One of the (many) legal gaps that needs to be filled after this nightmare is over is to prohibit federal law enforcement agencies from using federal funds to create propaganda videos with anyone in custody. This is all about spectacle and content creation, remove the incentive and the means

christian nationalists are morally depraved

Let's just say it's mighty odd the official atproto site leads the FAQ with this. atproto.com/guides/faq The only serious looking site ever to link atproto to blockchain is associationofresearch.org/a-world-with... but see lisaamartin.wordpress.com/2015/02/08/o... about that site.

someone needs to do a thorough writeup of every clear tell of atproto as a blockchain project that pivoted, because their 2025 reflex is to deny it as hard as possible even though they're all coiners and so much of it reeks of blockchain

please do not say "big account". the progress term is "person of posting experience" or "person afflicted by the disease"

I love when Andy Ngo does one of his David Attenborough-style posts about Antifa and highlights some kid who took a bong rip and waddled into the protest dressed like a giant muppet. My favorite flavor of his commentary by far.

Donald Trump full-tilt losing his shit at a journalist instead of just saying "You're being nasty, you're asking a nasty question, you're scum" is coming btw

Blorbo got PISSED

Blorbo got pissed

During the episode Victoria’s “Friend” (named Blorbo) pendant’s mic heard her talking about her experience and started sending her whiny messages which she read out on air. One of the funniest things to happen on the show. bsky.app/profile/vicm...

I vaguely recall that carbon offsets/credits were the shit sandwich they compromised on instead of carbon taxes.

Will I be the first to suggest the carbon offsets worked exactly as planned: they delayed real action for another 25 years

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

You have no idea what I think should happen to this man. You don't know and can't act on what you don't know.

"jon whats your zombie apocalypse plan. what do you do if the zombies come" well if the toilets stop working im fucking offing myself becuase thats how you know its all over and also i cant shit

in retrospect i think the "zombie" tv/movie craze that encouraged everyone to fantasize about how theyd murk all their neighbors, hole up in their house and eventually run into the woods , was a mistake

I can't even imagine how disconcerting the mechanical soulless slop machines must be if you're an organic soulless slop machine.

I still think it rules that James Workshop adopted my precise opinion (Female Custodes yes, Female Space Marines no)

THAT MAN IS PLAYING GZDOOM WITH THE TEXTURE FILTERS ON

maybe i will just block like an hour a day to pick a random @aaron.bsky.team post and do a giant thread explaining the complexities and context of trust and safety work and how it all actually works will that help make things better or make my life worse or both
