On Bluesky? All of us

Platner very much is a discernible type, but it’s not “flawed but basically decent working class joe.” It’s “prep school creep with a sadistic streak and an ironclad confidence that it will never catch up to him.“

So it does in fact seem that a willingness to excuse a nazi tattoo eventually involves excusing other abhorrent behavior as well!

this is also a crisis in publishing as the midlist collapses and publishers chase fanfic or tiktok breakouts and then throw them to the wolves with little support. no one has the time or budget to grow authors while they learn their craft and become better writers, and that was BEFORE AI bullshit.

there is such a thing as too much curiosity

hmmmm why would the regime stop a **swiss** soccer player from entering ..... oh i see

how does this do anything but capitulate to the massive lie these companies are trying to sell that AI is like a utility?

doing an elaborate happy dance because of someone else's oxygen saturation is a new level of "how is this my life" weirdness

How could Governor @mikiesherrill.bsky.social have betrayed us like that? Et Tu Mikie?

State police in riot gear are out against Delaney, gassing and attacking protestors again. People on the ground just said to me “this is worse than anything ICE did” at Delaney. It looks utterly brutal right now. www.youtube.com/live/wbnkdjV...

I just passed out

Bsky is apparently gonna start flagging whole accounts as nsfw soon so if you don't already know about your moderation settings, highly suggest switching nsfw from Hide to Warn; otherwise many creators will completely vanish from your timeline when they roll this out.

It was absolutely necessary to shoot the protesters with pepper balls for their safety

this is so real

Keep in mind the “protest” is a direct blockade of the ICE entrance. Establishing a separate “zone” negates the protest, helping clear the path for ICE. Sherrill is assisting ICE operations.

"They're cleaning up the blood because they know they messed up."

Governor Sherrill needs to camp outside Delaney Hall until they let her in. Human beings are being tortured in her state.

there's an episode of family matters on and... Urkel went to space?

I have bad news for them about the prestige of being a writer. (Don’t get me started on the pay)

just finished episode 1 of the new season and it's fantastic, of course. go listen!

I met two cute dogs today. little beagle puppies basically just wiggle machines. I love them.

oh this tells me everything i need to know

Is the dem governor of New Jersey doing anything to protect her citizens from ICE agents brutalizing people outside the concentration camp? just kidding. I know she's not.

Hundreds inside an ICE concentration camp are on a work and hunger strike at Delaney Hall in New Jersey and other hunger strikes have been announced in New Mexico and Southern California. In Tacoma, WA, over 100 detainees announced the formation of the 'Union of People Kidnapped by ICE.'

I am not a religious person by any means, but if I saw this in person I'd assume the gods are speaking to me directly

Trump admin shutting key U.S. researchers out of global virus response talks, documents and sources reveal

60 Minutes confirms Iran is bypassing the US blockade and exporting 100,000 more barrels of oil per day than before the war. Most of it is reportedly going to China.

it's always some boring whiney-ass man who just drones on and on complaining about not having any fun on here. dude, you're the problem. we are having fun without you for a reason.

waited too long to cook now I'm too tired to eat the food I just made 😩

A recent update on blacksky.community that shows who banned you and provides appeal guidance.

Ms Rachel and Mychal the librarian are out here trying to shut down a child jail. Let this be inspiration to others to do the same.

I wrote about the man Tennessee plans to kill today. There is so much more to this story than one article can capture and it’s going to bother me for a long time. For @theintercept.com

After weeks of Starbucks leadership telling every major newspaper in the country how mean Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson’s been to them by publicly not liking them, today she formally apologized saying she thought they knew everyone here including herself hated them already.

I've been talking about making egg salad for days and finally did it but then worried it wouldn't hit the spot like I was hoping because emotions are fragile today but it was so good. taking the win.

A win for the Philadelphia left: Chris Rabb has prevailed in the open primary to replace the retiring incumbent Dwight Evans, who was supporting a competitor. Rabb is a shoo-in for the general election and to join Congress.

They won’t even rule out paying the people who attacked cops in particular. It will not matter to the police.

Hell yeah. Don't let bosses convince you that you don't deserve more. Don't let someone who hoards $100 million tell you that working people don't deserve $100,000. Instead organize and get yours.

I regret to inform you that white people be white people-ing all around the world. talk to your pasty cousins and leave us alone.

Save the condolences and statement of "there's no place for Islamophobia in the US." Of course there is. There's a place for it at your dinner table, on TV and in the White House. I say this as a Muslim, you can keep the words.

Not now, Elder Gods From Outside Reality Frozen Under The Ice For Aeons

it's very clear what needs to happen but it's also clearly not going to happen. which a lot of us knew and warned about. but here we are. connect with your neighbors. protect your people.

This is our time. Philadelphia, vote @chrisrabb.com on Tuesday, May 19. See all the Working Families Party-endorsed candidates on your ballot: workingfamilies.org/vote-pa/

It’d be even better if there was a way for both of them to lose but I’ll take it
