Absolutely buzzing over this new video of a rarely seen giant squid

Certified Alabama moment: at a DSA mutual aid event this morning somebody thought my keffiyeh was for Alabama football. Roll tide and free Palestine

I am becoming more sympathetic to arguments that we should take the D or the A out of DSA, if only because I'd like to stop hearing about the Digital Services Act in the DSA feed. Though really the EU should have to change their law's name because we had the acronym first.

[Werner Herzog voice] He is monstrous, but in a more profound sense, Cookie Monster is also a victim

There's a local group (like in many places) that does the opposite: tracks ICE and informs the community to keep them safe. It pays nothing, requires random hours and it has volunteers lining up out the door! The imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural etc.

"They go low we go high" is a suicide pact

If you want a picture of the future, imagine Baby Yoda stamping on a human face - forever

Acolyte was a lot more uneven than Andor but it was similarly trying to do something new with Star Wars. BUT the troglodyte fans are always going to be more accepting of a gritty war story made by a dude than what Acolyte was doing. And even then Andor wasn't pulling slop factory Mandalorian numbers

Aside from Birmingham I'd also like to shout-out Wenatchee Washington, population 35,000 apparently. If backwaters like us can do BDS you can too!

The typo for Alabama briefly made me wonder if it was the right one and then I saw the billboard

All eyes on the Honduran elections. Trump endorsed Tito Asfura and will pardon a member of his party, narco-dictator Juan Orlando Hernandez, extradited to the US in 2022 for working w/ El Chapo. JOH was elected in 2017 in an election deemed fraudulent by international observers and even the US DOJ.

Do your things on earth as your heart commands! When there comes to you that day of mourning, the Weary-Hearted hears not their mourning, wailing saves no man from the pit! (Song from the Tomb of King Intef) (ALL)

You're telling me that Zohran Mamdani is working with people affiliated with DSA? Wow. I didn't know that. You're telling me now for the first time.

I know this is mostly just a poll of "Names people have heard" this far ahead but it's still kind of grim

I’m not catholic but I do enjoy the concept of this product … st Anthony take the wheel

I missed the window for the latest star wars discourse but here's my take anyway: Solo is underappreciated and Rogue One is good but suffers from obvious rewrites and leans too hard on nostalgia bait. 3 rotating antagonists clutters up the narrative, drop CGI Tarkin and just have Vader's end scene.

"You're too stupid to know what's legal or illegal so just follow orders" would not be a particularly compelling argument to me if I were in the military

Quoggy: mushy and soft, like a quagmire. Herman's saying anyone who puts oil in their hair might be a bit of a fruit - in context he's specifically throwing shade on the anointed kings of England - but I say such a man is simply a Dapper Dan Man.

I am sympathetic to arguments that Mamdani shouldn't have met Trump even if I disagree with them but I sure hope the other side can offer some better alternatives than "build an army of the working class(?)"

Would you believe this is the end result of a thread that started with the OP claiming that the founding fathers were socialists.

Zohran is the first democrat with rizz Trump has ever met. Thats the DSA difference baby

If you strip everything of context, you really come off as a hypocrite here

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

I really think if we could stuff Vance and Miller and all those other ghouls and gombeens into a locker and gave Trump a bunch of DSA interns to hang out with all day we'd be halfway to a second Soviet Republic by February.

She needs to go back to her previous series about child soldiers experiencing trauma: Gregor the Overlander. I think society is finally ready for that story to be told with giant anthropomorphic bats and rats.

Good news, the APT board voted to not shoot themselves directly in the head.

Way to go, @dsanorthalabama.bsky.social!

My #SuperlativeCannedGoo tweet from the old place is making rounds again. Support co-op cranberry growers!

So I went to a local vendor fair today and ran across a guy who does custom etching/engraving and I happened to have my feder in my car. I will admit the metaphor is a bit more blunt on a sword instead of a guitar.

I know fewer local people on here but if you live in Alabama and in particular are in driving distance to Birmingham, the APT board of directors is meeting to decide whether to cut PBS, if you can make it out on Tuesday to show them how important PBS is to you it would be very helpful.

hey so it's been a second since I've gone through confirmation classes but I'm pretty sure this is what you'd call idolatry?

getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

It wasn't even a trade for magic beans. It was a trade for entirely mundane beans, possibly past their expiration date. Explicitly labeled as such, bargain bin, should've been thrown out weeks ago. The worst beans you've ever seen.

Don't you want to fight these bastards for real

Y'know there was a time when a fifth of your caucus going rogue and capitulating to the opposition might be seen as a failure of leadership. But if the shutdown went on the senators might have to deal with delayed flights so who's to say who the real villains are here

Finally got the HEMA jacket I ordered back in July, just in time for it to start getting cold enough that I won't die of heat stroke outside

Public board meeting at 10am on the 18th at the APT studio in Birmingham where they might vote on this by the way.

There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. Any Dem presidential hopeful who fails to campaign on trials for all of these bastards and not resting until they're buried under the jail is completely morally bankrupt.

DSA feed is always a joy to follow because these days it's a mix of DSA people posting cool positive stuff and the weirdest anti-DSA people with grievances and lore about the org that are at least 70% made up. I learned today that apparently Bernie Sanders is a member (?) and AOC was but left(??)

Thanks to Congress slashing funding for PBS, Alabama Public Television, the nation’s oldest public educational network, may sever ties with PBS, which would effectively kill the network. www.al.com/news/birming...

I'm very curious about these 15-30 kids. Like what parents are signing their progeny up for a secret illegal school in Mark Zuckerberg's backyard.

I'm mad. Please put in the newspaper that I'm mad.

I saw several comments on local news yesterday explicitly saying that the president doesn't have to listen to judges. I guess local comment section racists are a great source of political predictions going forward
