Ahahaha oh my fucking god you can't be serious

Tired of the old "elf on a shelf" nonsense? Canada GOTCHU.

You can claim that America is the same no matter who is president and that we’re an evil empire that deserves what’s coming to it, but I sure don’t like living in a country that’s run by a guy who wakes up on Easter and threatens to do war crimes. I don’t think that a Democrat would be doing that.

it’s true that overall likes are way down on bluesky over the past year. however, if you look closely at the data, that’s mostly an anomaly resulting from the fact that your posts specifically have gotten worse and are dragging the vibe down.

They're going to purge "the Irish" from the military next, aren't they?

Commentary aside, the photo keeps making me think the "free stuff" in question is Legos. And yes. The rich should get Legos too.

Even when the world sucks, leaving it is just so effing cool!

Awesome. Also, flip photo 2 over if you can’t tell what’s in the photo.

Nonchalant animal noises This is what the internet is made for 😭😭🤣🤣

Think about everything that needed to make this possible: Digital video shot on a phone by a passenger on a jet airplane, showing a rocket going to the Moon, posted (probably wirelessly) on a worldwide network of computers... Science is cool.

We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy but because you've seen the other shit this country spends tax money on. At least going to the moon is cool.

AI sucks. Using it to write stuff sucks. Justifying using it to write stuff by saying it allows you to write more stuff sucks. Writing is the fundamental form of human expression and ceding jurisdiction over the written word to plagiarism machines is the death of the human mind.

AI is not writing

one of them is paid by the taxpayers of MN and I basically think that's the price we pay for academic freedom, but I also think academic freedom allows us to call him a racist and shun him in all contexts.

Mentally where I’m at

Watched the Supergirl trailer, and I, for one, fully support the subgenre of movies that posit if someone hurts your dog, you get to murder a lot of people over it.

There you have it: Money for war, but not for health care. That should be the new Republican slogan.

I don't know what SCOTUS will do on birthright citizenship case, it's anybody's guess. But if they endorse Trump's diktat, the only response is defiance. Outright, open defiance by the states. A decision not just erroneous but illegitimate, beyond their power, null and void from the day it's issued.

Pretty clearly in the category of order that is both unlawful to give AND unlawful to carry out

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Y'know what, I'm still with it "War don't sex" that's right brother, peace fucks

Headed out to a No Kings protest today? Know your rights before you go and share with your friends and family attending!

Thanks for today’s protest sign, @gwenckatz.bsky.social !

The NY Times saves its harshest skepticism for progressives. Instead of being impressed by 3,000+ coordinated protests, NYT dismisses the value of “hitting a number” and asks if No Kings will be “a primal scream that fades into a whimper.” F off, NY Times. We'll defeat fascism w/o you. (Gift link)

Having worked at Zap2it 10ish years later, 5-10 stories is no exaggeration. And excellent training on how to quickly digest, consider, and write about anything--a skill I need daily as a lawyer.

I laughed so hard I dropped my phone into the abyss under the ottoman

So are the headlines saying the Democrats won this round, or nah? Cause they did. Funding for TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, no funding for ICE. That’s the deal Dems have been offering over & over. Republicans caved.

AGAIN: It was never just about illegal immigration. They oppose immigrants. (Reminder: 🇺🇸 was built on immigration)

Turns out, a clock-with-dementia is also right twice a day.

I could be remembering my college physics classes wrong (and am definitely focusing on the wrong detail) but... isn't fissile nuclear material way too heavy to sew into a vest?

Okay, fine, Wikipedia. I promise I won't click past the donation pop-up next time.

When I was 11 I won a design an ad contest where the prize was $50, I was so pumped to buy some sick Legos until I found out it wasn't cash it was a Patriot Bond I'd have to wait decades to be able to use. I'm pleased to report I cashed it today and immediately went and bought some sick ass Legos

this rules

Hot take: No Kings is good and if you have the time and capacity, you should go to a protest on Saturday.

NASA might have been the coolest organization on planet earth — a real life/larger than life organization that the smartest people in the world respected, kids dreamed their whole life of working for, & even Hollywood couldn’t make larger than it already was. So of course Trump ruined it in a year.

Even Frodo goes doomer but is redeemed by being willing to pretend to have hope for the sake of his friend who still does. Acting like you still have hope even when you don't is what saves the world

Best, shortest summation of the problem with AI I've seen so far.

mainstream media outlets should probably be vocally asking who the actual President is

Lawyers leaving the DOJ have gotten a lot of press. But what about paralegals and assistants leaving? Because they're the ones typically keeping the filings on-time. And if the good ones go...

It's just unreal how little thought or planning went into starting a new massive war in the Middle East.

Considering how many privileged, private calls between lawyers and clients happen on Zoom, um...

Leadership through bumper sticker slogans!
