@roanrampant.bsky.social have you seen Jimothy?

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

It gets worse: “David Brouillette has a history of terrifying and violent behavior, according to those relatives. They accuse him of attacking women in his life over the years, and one shared a voicemail with the AP from last winter in which he told her that he thought someone should slit her throat

really thinking about this tweet as i’ve been struggling to breathe through nausea for the last 5 hours

Today’s observations.

My wishes are looking more like fishes these days. WIP for an event.

victory lapping on this one

what if the real video games industry was the people who made the games along the way

It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

also not lost on me that as democratic socialists are winning some elections, a new red scare targeting anarchists, antifascists, and their allies is digging in hard, and today handed down 30, 50, and 100 year prison sentences to activists and organizers

Help, I’m in an unfamiliar Costco!

I've been running Follow the Crypto since 2024. Today I'm relaunching it as Tech Influence Watch, expanded to cover AI political spending alongside crypto. They’ve spent more than $400 million this election cycle, and now you can follow it in close to real time. influence.citationneeded.news

I am human and this music is for me 🥰

Again: If you’re running for office, I want to hear that you support consequences for crimes committed in office by this administration.

The farting on this flight is relentless. Somebody around here is gassing it up animal style and it’s not me for once.

Me over here thinking about the things I’d like to write…

This is a war based on lies

Oh my god indeed

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said. I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

An experience I am really enjoying about reading blogs again is the wonderful rabbit hole of fleeting one-off links at the end of posts. Today's path: text.blogosphere.app candost.blog/newsletter/m... and all the way at the end... lookingatpicturebooks.com/p/the-very-h... !!!

This tiny bird picked up a bunch of my dog’s fur in the back yard and made itself a proper Dr. Robotnik mustache.

No shade to the OP for admitting this, but it shocks me that people my age don’t know this. You fundamentally cannot understand how the world functions, how power works, if you don’t know history.

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

Very much enjoying reading posts from text.blogosphere.app It's fun reading a post, then exploring the rest of the writing on these blogs. Some favorite finds: www.nateshivar.com/1937/stuff-i... briangreen.net/minimalism justinferriman.com/put-away-you...

What better way to celebrate 250 years of America than to tear this entire administration out tooth and nail

There’s a dude giving another guy a buzz cut on a bench in the park here. With clippers and an apron and everything! Plein hair!

The whole thing about Democrats searching for a winning message for the midterms is infuriating because it is staring them in the face: Rule of Law — People who do illegal shit should face consequences. For insider trading. For illegal wars. For ignoring court orders. For being a pedophile.

Cointerpoint: The candidate who says, "My sole purpose in running for office is to disempower, impoverish and/or imprison the corrupt Trump crime family and their enablers" is the best candidate.

Average union soldier memoir: "at first I was like I signed up for this war, but is it really worth it? Then I saw the reality of chattel slavery and I had to be physically restrained from slaughtering every white southerner I encountered"

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

My dog has snuggled up against me in bed, glommed and morphed into perfect position. She is a professional and I respect her craft. I do, however, have notes about the orientation.

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

this is what it feels like to post on bluesky

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...

Two years ago today I brought my puppy home. She’s cuddled against my feet now- my sweet girl who everybody loves.

Oh no!

These are concentration camps and its our duty as citizens to ensure these things don't get built.

i think what we need now more than ever is slow, incremental change

These scumbags are going to be using nukes by EOY.

This puts civilians in danger of being considered enemies. That’s why it’s a war crime.

He shot her three times in the fucking face and muttered "Fucking Bitch" at her as she died, and the AP sees this as some kind of administrative kinetic event

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

If I ever meet the fool who put "Open Link in Split View" in the place that "Open Link in New Window" was in the secondary click menu in Google Chrome, I'm gonna have some choice words for them.

Got into the dark room to print some of my great-grandfather's WWI negatives. Very pleased with the results!

*at my parents’ house watching recorded episodes of Jeopardy!* “MORE JEP! MORE JEP!”

Finally, a good spam text! I’m actually considering replying!
