Bazooka has awesome roll-for-initiative ears.

prepare to steam for Manila, lads (gender-neutral)

Oath Keepers & similar groups simply don't have the same membership as the Freikorps and such, but this is still a troubling development. I think Rhodes' mostly in it for the grift - but he could also be looking for redemption.

man, if i didn't need another reason to dislike sig

expanding the court is the moderate position

what, I emphasize, the fuck

This was in the pizza place across the street from my high school for _forever_.

😬😬😬

I would 100% throw my support behind a presidential candidate that took this bullshit seriously.

I fail to see how this isn't a massive First Amendment violation.

I am so relieved to discover that this is Sports Discourse.

Vercel CTO: our current threat models assume the developer is competent, we’re working on a new threat model where the app doesn’t assume the developer is competent 🤯 yeah, that’s how you address vibe coding h/t @latent.space podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

yeah, nearly all of the opposition that we saw to No Kings was Gen-X or late Boomer.

Also Culloden (1964), an extraordinary historical recreation done on a shoestring budget with a tiny cast which demonstrated the possibilities of the documentary form and had enough confidence in its audience not to dumb down the material. www.reddit.com/r/Documentar...

Tear gas is banned on the battlefield so that it doesn’t get mistaken for the actual banned chemicals weapons and get us all killed in a nuclear apocalypse because various countries promised nuclear retaliation for chemical weapons use

Today is the 7th anniversary of the Pittsburgh Synagogue massacre, where 11 Jews were killed for their congregation's support of immigrant rights. I look at what Jews from the synagogue are doing to honor their dead & stand up for immigrants' rights. paydayreport.com/jews-work-to...

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

fortunately this was yesterday and the MV Columbia arrived safely

holy fuck

good news

I have them blocked, but @persport.bsky.social is taking artists' original work and posting it back in their own thread with AI slop, while using the language of "not feeling represented" in the original art. They're a right-wing troll, referring to Mamdani & Jeffries as "kill-whitey" candidates

"NATIVE LAND": For the first time since buying the Uncle Sam Billboard property for $2.5M this summer, the Chehalis Tribe has updated its message. “Let’s goooooo,” wrote Tribal Chairman Dustin Klatush. 📸: Otto Rabe Link to FB page: www.facebook.com/thecentralia...

If you’re interested in California insurance issues, I just saw that insurance commissioner candidate Patrick Wolff (who is a chess grandmaster) will be playing 6-10 simultaneous chess games next Saturday at the Santa Monica chess park. Would be a good chance to ask some questions in person.

Evidently it takes a 2.6 jolt for us to notice a nearby earthquake. The house creaked momentarily and both dogs jumped. Can't say that I felt it so much as I was notified of its presence.

If you happen to be in the Bay Area, this is the organization that appears to be mobilizing a lot of the response. I recommend signing up for alerts and adding the number for your county's immigrant legal defense org to your contacts. www.bayresistance.org

It's obviously not the MAIN thing going on right now, but it is striking

Hey friends, after ten years in the industry the layoffs finally found me. I'm looking for roles in front end engineering and/or the intersection of engineering and communication (tech lead, developer advocate, that kind of thing).

Fuck. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

wanna see a body?

Anyone who is willing to sacrifice my civil and human rights is an existential threat to me and I will respond to them that way. Trans people are not your acceptable losses. Neither are immigrants. Neither are Palestinians. We all get out together or we don't get out of this at all.

Diwali is a terrifying day for paranoid suburbanites...

The work we do @liveinpeaceinc.bsky.social is amazing. And more vital than ever. And in the face of incredible headwinds our students continue to thrive. Help us meet this moment. We need funds. Link in bio!

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

The problem with having been a Civil War Bore in my previous life is that now this 160 year old song is stuck in my head. WE ARE COMING FATHER ABRAHAM OUR UNION TO RESTORE WE ARE COMING FATHER ABRAHAM THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE

Good turnout at No Kings in Redwood City. Brought a couple of @djinnandtonic.bsky.social's flags with us.

tl;dr: Babs says LFG

thinking about the guy running the us govt bluesky accounts. thats his friday, trying to troll people on a relatively niche social media site because they won twitter and it made them miserable. catastrophic loser energy

CW: child sex abuse I know it's not the OP's phrasing, but that headline should read "for raping a six year old." Goddamn.

From the same dev: “it’s also that I cannot see management being concerned solving the information visibility that keeps slowing us down. We’re rolling out AI coding tools for devs but no one thinks about the org silos that slow us down 10x more than any coding use case.”

From a dev at Big Tech: “3 devs across 3 teams are stuck for a month on a build problem that’s caused by connections resetting between two gateways and a messaging queue. I cannot solve it because I’m blocked access to the other 2 teams’ systems. I cannot see AI solving this.”

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
