Louise Brooks' personal bookplate

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

"'I’m not sure what we’ve learned from it all,' Walter Johnson, a professor of History and African and African American Studies, wrote in a statement. 'I think Larry Summers told us who he was a long time ago.'" Professor Johnson knows wassup.

It’s not the biggest deal here but I think he means implying not implicating

Since Sarah Kendzior’s account has been restored for a “death threat”- I’m wondering why Link’s hasn’t… does Bluesky take alleged threats against their CEO more seriously than ones against other people? Will Patton Oswalt also have a full account ban?

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

You don't really appreciate the joys of breathing until you suddenly get over a 2 month Cold From Hell

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME BLUESKY

His name is Zac Segal, and he sicced the gestapo on as many innocent folks as he could. Make sure no one ever forgets what this British kid did.

We gotta get people back into reading the whole story

The government should be reordered to run under the Department of Libraries

always slightly unnerved at how *little* I get side effects from the covid shots

oh no, stop…

Accounting for age of involved parties and when they were sent — all the Epstein emails should have been texts. Dude was funding the MIT Media Lab and extorting rich & powerful thru his trafficking opp and he’s using [email protected]. Like it can’t be that hard to destroy capitalism WTF.

MS NOW legit sounds like a lost Microsoft product from the late 90s

something just reminded me of this 5 minutes before it starts so I'm gonna pay it forward

is me ruling the world a sign of adhd?

me: ok six weeks left of 2025 let's get stuff done! my brain cells:

Way to bury the lede that Steven Pinker just woke up from a 5 year coma

Setting my phone to not answer unknown callers has caused a significant number of problems but on balance I still can't bring myself to go back

i got married!!

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Oh good I was worried some hungry people might get some food

“What’s the point of standards?” - Bari Weiss

LUCE expanded their work into food delivery, when they recognized that immigrants were afraid to leave their homes to buy food. In this time of acute insecurity, their mission is more important than ever. Please support them if you can!

Here's one of the main reasons why I'm 100% sure AI is in a bubble, regardless of any potential "success" it has in the next 6-12 months. Right now the majority of AI "success" at scale has been found in AI coding tools for software engineers. (thread)

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

COULD WE JUST, UH, MAYBE NOT IGNORE THAT THIS ISN'T JUST A BAD DEAL IN TERMS OF OPTICS BUT ALSO IN TERMS OF WHAT MADE IT INTO THIS FUCKING ABSOLUTELY NOT CLEAN AT ALL BILL

Oh damn! Two-RAD household. Despite their QA challenges c. 2022-23, I like our bikes and I really hope it doesn't come to them shutting down. Guess I need to buy a backup battery & parts ASAP?

That "posts 100x a day" labeler is like a blacklight for bluesky

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

Elections are over, but organizing continues full steam ahead! In the last week of signature collection, let's keep up our momentum and get rent control on the ballot! TOMORROW Tuesday 11/11 at 1PM Meet in front of the Cambridge Public Library Main Branch, 449 Broadway RSVP: bit.ly/CPLrentcontrol

What's crazy about this take is how the Sydney Sweeney discourse flared up again on X last week but was completely ignored on here. His brain is cooked on reactionary discourse and thinks everyone has his warped conception of a view on it.

The next recession is going to make Occupy look like the Senate Democratic caucus.

We invited Sam Westby, a local bikey instagrammer, along on our HONKoween #BikeBus parade, and he produced this nice reel that’s getting some exposure over there. www.instagram.com/reel/DQzVB2A...

Politicians bringing inflation (complimentary)

Been a while since I posted about this but if there is someone who you can’t stand and who crosses your timeline occasionally? Mute them! block them, if you can get away with it! There’s no reason to suffer!! If I am that person, block me!! seriously! I have no interest in causing you suffering.

THIS IS TONIGHT IN CANTON. Here’s a Lynch refresher in case you missed it. The audio is REALLY something: #mapoli www.masslive.com/politics/202...

I appreciate the work of these authors to show that this problem not only is still here but has grown: www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne... But it is also quite frustrating 🧵>>

Rand Paul is supposedly mad about this and may pull a Rand Paul to gum up passage. www.politico.com/live-updates...

every time one opens the Times, you expect psychic damage. but this? this is an assault on the frontal cortex

this is the main problem with will stancil, is that when he sees evidence his 'everything is fine actually' model is wrong, he says 'oh wow who's lying to me now' and never ever ever ever considers that he missed something like he sees poor ppl saying 'i am struggling' and he says 'um, source?'

Two weeks old how better to celebrate Mo-day than with our cute baby Muscovy ducklings

Thank you comrade schumer dsausa.org/join

Oh man, this Senate cave is really stressing me out, I should do some CBD to relax wait WHAT

Do you plan to support a challenger to Schumer, and primary challenges to all the yea voters, or is this just talk?

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.
