yeah, emissary of night, is right, imo. when zionists say israel has a right to exist, they are not just saying that Israel has a right to territorial integrity and sovereignty (which all states do, no matter how odious they are.) 1

I would argue that this was the endgame of SEO all along. Google has been telling every content creator on the internet to modify their work if they want to appear on Google, or else. Now they’re simply saying they’ll do it without consent anyway.

I'll say it again: we could fully fund TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard & other agencies within DHS TODAY. But Republicans keep blocking those efforts because they want a blank check for ICE & CBP.

I appreciate @seanhollister.bsky.social 's reporting here about the latest step Google is taking in their quest to destroy the information ecosystem and disempower information seekers: www.theverge.com/tech/896490/... 🧵>>

Something I didn’t anticipate about living under full Federal fascism is how quickly I would forget things. Things that happened a week ago are quickly memory-holed because we have to endure a daily firehose of bullshit. Yesterday, I decided to watch/listen to Bruce’s Streets of Minneapolis again.

This spate of recent laws uses “protect the kids” as pretense for an all-out attack on the last vestiges of privacy online. @eff.org is one of the organizations with the best track record of fighting these laws (that’s why I joined the board) — you can take action here: act.eff.org/action/stop-...

you kinda have to have brain worms in the first place to accept any notion that people who aren’t bothered enough to do anything about an open pedophile ring involving the president and keep trying to legalize child marriage in various states suddenly care about protecting children

Donald Trump has trashed the economy, the free press, and the constitution. But some of the language the left uses just sounds so stilted and cringe. I have never felt more politically unhoused.

The US President casually announcing his intention to commit war crimes on social media. That's where you're at, America.

(*nods vigorously*)

Mentally, I can set aside the question of whether she should be punished. She simply should no longer be driving — ever.

lol the MacBook Neo has been on the market for approximately six minutes and Microsoft is already like “we’re SO SORRY about Windows 11! We’re trying to delete it! We will murder Copilot with our bare hands!”

We need to make bikes that block entire highways when they get a flat tire.

Cars are a huge liability for neighborhoods. One car breaks down and chaos is unleashed for miles. Insanity.

Nowruz Mubarak to all Iranian Americans who call New York City home! It was an honor to celebrate Charshanbeh Soori. Nowruz is typically a time of good feeling, but this year is different. I continue to stand in opposition to this war, and I wish joy for all Iranians observing this special holiday.

Man, seeing @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social do his version of “everything is tuberculosis” *really* makes me want to do a version of this, except “everything is Prince” youtube.com/shorts/sgkNp...

There’s no bottom to this — Coulter said NYT journalists should be *killed* and they platformed her in the paper. If Trump said everyone on the masthead should be murdered, they’d call him brave, and fire any staffer who objected for being “too partisan”.

This is, indeed, important: the single biggest reason Barack Obama became president is because he stood up for a principled position that was wildly unpopular with *both^ parties’ leaders! — Only the people agreed with him. anildash.com/2022/01/31/y...

This is why I only read nonfiction books, where the pain never ends

blowing up a children's school is bad because it ends up harming an innocent American with an e-mail job and a Ford F-150 Raptor. he has pump pain now. not the urologist kind

It’s worth noting — Medium has great defaults here, is explaining them well, and gives people more control than other platforms. This isn’t a case where they’re secretly screwing creators, as is usually the case when we have to check our settings. medium.com/blog/writers...

Wow I wonder why people don’t want to come to the US????

this is completely insane: since when is it acceptable for a tech company to rewrite news outlets' headlines without their consent? especially at a time when audiences are sensitive to how stories are framed in headlines? (ie Israel/Palestine, the Trump admin, ICE) www.theverge.com/tech/896490/...

Purvi Patel was the template, this is putting it into practice.

It’s amazing how quickly Black women have been targeted by these laws and doubly so how little this factors into the analysis around the sexual and gender politics of this movement.

One Trump-allied company controlling more than 60% of local TV news in your city means: - Trump could have more influence over what you watch - Your prices could skyrocket - You could have fewer choices But state AGs are fighting this, and I'm with them. We've got to stop this.

Where we are: Former DHS secretary’s sidepiece/unofficial staffer allegedly demanded bribes from for-profit prison operator for federal ethnic-cleansing contracts. Explosive (if not surprising) reporting from NBC

"The people of the Twin Cities" are the winners of the prestigious 2026 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

bsky is the fountain of middle age

They’re trying to ram through KOSA, a full Section 230 repeal, and a slew of other anti-LGBTQ censorship and surveillance laws under the guise of “cracking down on AI” and a ton of dumb leftists are falling for it.

I couldn't be more excited to announce something I've been working on for a long time - Please welcome Belltower House Artist Residency, a multidisciplinary gift of time in my erstwhile home in southern New Mexico, now accepting applications for 2026. belltowerhouse.org

Since 1866, it's been illegal to put living people on U.S. currency. So how is the Treasury minting a $1 coin with Trump on it? Simple: By declaring that this currency is not, in fact, currency. Nothing means anything! Laws are made up!

jfc that can buy hard drives for SO many skeets

This is, without exaggeration, the smartest, clearest discussion I have heard regarding AI in the workplace. You should listen.

Our guest on CANNED this week is @anildash.com; he has three or four things to say about the impact of AI on our jobs, the very real pain hitting creatives with this shift, and how tech workers need to think more like shop floor workers. I want a tech writer jumpsuit with a name tag now.

one of the greatest absurdities of this era is the way political reporters daily deconstruct the speech of a guy who clearly communicates in pure gibberish, just so certain segments of the public can pretend some logical argument is being made that might be worth the energy it takes to scrutinize

$200 billion a year would enable a universal basic income of about $500/mo. That would essentially abolish severe poverty in America. Poverty would drop by about a third, and because the downstream costs of poverty are about $3 TRILLION a year, that would be a return on investment of $800B a year.

True facts! Also, Peter Gabriel’s 8-minute-long rumination on grief is the best song on the soundtrack

lol I keep seeing some throwback meme where people are talking about nostalgia and playing… the Goo Goo Dolls? Did any of you people have sexual intercourse in the 1990s?

Peace to Dolores Huerta, a hero amongst heroes.

Kat Abughazaleh showed that you do not need to be on Twitter in 2026 to be a competitive political campaign.

They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨 London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution.

on the jim crow travesty that is the SAVE act (gift link)

I know I am biased. I’m a huge consumer of this genre. But I think this is the exact right lane for that character. He’s basically Jessica Fletcher.

If I had a dollar for every person who asks how defense attorneys sleep at night, I’d be able to pay my student loans. If I had a dollar for every person who asks how prosecutors sleep at night, I could maybe buy a pack of gum. Broken society.

Surely it's a coincidence that reporters keep interviewing the same "mom and pop" landlord for their fear-mongering stories about Mamdani's rental affordability policies.

If you're not familiar, the format for a "truth sandwich" is: * start with a true statement * introduce the newsworthy lie or distortion * true statement again The idea is that the false claim should not be the first or last impression. It's useful when you think a lie should not be ignored.

There's a six page appendix listing out all of the many many times these lawyers appeared to rely on hallucinated citations. YIKES.
