I’d *love* to see splashy profiles of reporters who spend their days (and nights) where AI can’t go — the ones who haunt the court clerk’s office or the state house, who always have the police scanner on, who attend more school board meetings than the board members do.

At the older child’s last school concert, and the jazz band is playing Tank! and doing a pretty decent job of it, so I guess the kids are alright

It's kinda crazy just how incompetent Ken Martin is.

watching a northernlion stream and he said "are you guys gonna see The Mandalorian vs. Groglet" and now that phrase is just stuck in my head. The Mandalorian vs. Groglet.

Headed to MomoCon today!

This is probably the best way I've heard to describe these kinds of situations. I know my friend did the best she could until she couldn't.

Coming to @momocon.bsky.social this weekend? Come see me!

Like Firefly? Like Mass Effect? Like stories of redemption and second chances? Well then you might dig my new space opera, WHEN THE STARS BLEED! It's not an impossible mission, but it's the next worst thing. Available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook! Get it here: www.amazon.com/dp/1645544052/

This rules

as per melissa's thread, it is really important to understand that a major goal of this administration is the resegregation of key institutions of american society

It was supposed to be simple, if not easy: track down a person of interest, find out what they know, and eliminate the renewed Titan threat before war breaks out (again). But nothing’s ever simple, and it’s certainly never easy. Get WHEN THE STARS BLEED today! www.amazon.com/dp/1645544052/

Can't stop thinking about this comment on a Northernlion slay the spire video

Too many Dems have been bad on this for over 20 years now.

That interview where Jon Favreau interviewed DNC chair Ken Martin did not go well for Martin.

HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani. Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.

the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.

This piece is an extended bit surgically designed to be Bluesky bait, & it worked. Watch the video! Piker’s just shooting the shit about the Louvre heist, but publishing it as Opinion changes the context considerably. Rest assured, anyone who could be convinced to “microloot” doesn’t read the NYT

Fucking perfect. No notes.

The easiest way to fix the problem of gerrymandering is to move to proportional representation.

Coming to @jordanconinc.bsky.social? We're having a book release party for WHEN THE STARS BLEED on Friday night! Come join us for the fun! Details at the link! www.facebook.com/events/10786...

Jim Jordan is commenting on Eric Swalwell's sexual misconduct allegations. Jordan was assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State while team doctor Richard Strauss sexually abused at least 177 athletes. Multiple wrestlers testified under oath they told Jordan. He did nothing. He was never charged.

1. People are not entitled to due process before I decide whether or not I like or dislike them or will vote for them. 2. My process of deciding whether I believe an allegation is not subject to the Federal Rules of Evidence. /1

The Atlantic has discovered AEW. Great photo of Brody King from the Dynamite in Minnesota.

Sarah Longwell kind of looked like a complete dufus in her conversation with Tim Miller about Hasan. You don't even have to like Hasan to realize how poorly she did in that conversation.

The fact that someone who is frequently as wrong as Bret Stephens was hired at and still works for the New York Times proves that meritocracy is false.

Nothing more true has ever been written.

I'm not opposed to kids learning cursive so they can choose for themselves which style of handwriting works for them, but I think there are much more urgent educational concerns than this.

What an incredible woman!

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners. Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.

He's obviously lying here. The fact he wasn't called out on it by the interviewer shows how shit he is as one.

Least surprising thing in the world.

Ubiquitously advertised betting available through the computer you carry in your pocket via apps designed and managed by ruthlessly efficient data scientists and programmers seems like a mistake. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

This is flailing baby writing. Like, come on, dude, just chill out and get a life.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy. We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Wouldn't it be amazing if Democrats in Congress could be as strong as Pedro Sanchez of Spain?

How about we support the troops by not sending them to an illegal war that there's no need to fight?

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."

Why should Americans have to sacrifice for a war they don't want and one that won't benefit them?

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Dani Bensky was a 17 year old ballerina when she met Jeffrey Epstein. His horrific abuse scarred her for life. And yet, she continues to publicly share her experience so that the “secrets are brought out of the shadows.” Please listen & share this incredible conversation. youtu.be/Ta49VohT2lo?...

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

Labour is what happens when the nominally "center-left" party stands for absolutely nothing and just shifts more and more to the right in a foolish attempt to woo voters to their right: a massively unpopular party that's going to get absolutely crushed... and right-wing policies.

NEW: When asked if top aide Corey Lewandowski has “a role in approving contracts,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem replied, “No.” But internal DHS records contradict her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. By @josh-kaplan.bsky.social @justinelliott.bsky.social

Can someone explain to me what purpose a news organization teaming up with a gambling site serves?
