Had a terrible dream where I had some vitally important stuff I needed to write down, but all that was available was someone else's shitty wire notebook with no blank pages and a pen containing a weird orange metallic ink the consistency of superglue.

Did a demon write this?

The fight between entryist techies who want to sell the Next Big Drone Thing and the hyper masculine Cult of the Operator will be the procurement war of the 21st century.

There's ALWAYS an angle.

you have to admit it’s funny that they cared about the Cracker Barrel logo as long if not longer than this

If Scott Bessent threatened to punch me I would fucking cackle. And I'm not even that tough!

May John Roberts never enjoy a spit-free meal ever again.

This thread is depressingly accurate

A 5th grader explains that his schoolmate shielded him. That friend is now in the hospital after taking a bullet while shielding his classmate. They are only 10 years old.

Spoiler alert: the former.

Once again, under the current US mode of production everything eventually becomes a bank or a real estate company

some thoughts on Newsom: 1. the reason I am desperate for Literally Anyone Else to be the standard bearer is specifically his stance on trans rights - he's been bad on other issues, like homelessness, but I really worry he'll lead the Dems towards Labour if he's the guy in charge

HOW ARE WE LOSING TO THESE MORONS

it keeps pulsing in my head that the greatest weapons the republicans have on elected democrats is not any sort of totally made up propaganda and media cycles attacking them, it is "if you wanted to stop us, you would have to work late"

my latest is on the president’s abuse of emergency powers and his psychological and practical interest in crisis government. gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/o...

So many of you wrote asking for a primer on how to push back against ICE's presence where you live! So this week's Tuesday post skips the usual history lesson. Instead, I talked to Oliver Merino of the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, who offered a lot of specifics on how to take action near you.

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody. Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

Of COURSE this chump had to disable replies - he's getting rightfully blowtorched. Quoting a disgraced former mayor's critique of the policing policy of a not-yet mayor regarding an event that happened on the current mayor's watch? Reverse Picasso.

Literally all SA would have to do is dangle the idea of Trump Cape Town to get him to reverse

Honestly I'd be too busy working up a mouthful of spit

Guys, I think it’s the whole Republican Party.

www.dailykos.com/stories/2025... Each part lists Republicans busted for child porn, possession, distribution, trafficking, etc. *Best* follow ever is Beks at @antifaoperative.bsky.social who is amazingly still sane after posting links to arrests of cops, church leaders, MAGAs, etc. for same thing.

Maybe two people will see this, but I'll ask it: Would one of the few "good" uses of AI be to digitally remove masks from and facially recognize ICE agents?

*shudder*

And the women of New York breathed a sigh of relief

Nice "14 Words" call-out in the middle

"If you can’t read a book yourself without needing a robot to spoon-feed you — you definitely shouldn’t be on the board of a multi-million dollar tech company."

"Letting an algorithm do all of your writing for you is like having your mom pack your lunch for you at your corporate job. Grow up."

Loomer is absolutely one who mewls about antisemitism while also leveling racist invective against an entire racial group, without a trace of self-awareness.

Still thinking about the “work” slowdown they did in protest of the minor reforms a few years ago, and how crime dropped when they stopped looking for it

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

Well this sucks.

Love to loiter in a parking lot while heavily armed, for no reason
