If John Q Public did this, he'd have been swatted by now. Can't help but wonder if this is actually working exactly as intended to help further push the complete stripping of privacy & de-anonymization of everyone "for the children". Also it's surely working as intended because general predator.

The corruption in plain sight from the Trump Regime is constant. And nothing Trump does is in, or for, the public interest. Only his.

Morrissey really is determined to go to his grave as the world's most insufferable twat. Although, a part of me feels if you actually paid money to see him at this point, that's kind of on you. pitchfork.com/news/morriss...

I feel for them, it's an awful thing, but these people have no interest in making anything safer by attacking kids & their families. It's clear their interest is causing maximum damage to everyone they can. Casting as wide a net as possible & hoping something catches. This is gross and sad.

All this week I've written about how here in IL, dark money and MAGA aligned PACs are spending absurd sums of money to prop up establishment corporate Dems while attacking progressive Dems who are actually willing to fight. MSNOW has the scoop on just how deep this goes: www.ms.now/news/kat-abu...

This is Lance. He may have overreacted a little bit to a leaf, but when you are two inches from the ground, anything could be a potential threat. 12/10 (TT: katiemhartline)

An 18-year-old woman in Queensland faces two years in jail for wearing a shirt that says "from the river to the sea." Police have arrested two pro-palestine protesters in the first test of Queensland's controversial hate speech laws.

"Operation Epstein Fury" & "Epstein Regime" (referring to the US-Israel alliance) is antisemitism according to WaPo & ADL. Couldn't possibly be that it's a reference to the destruction of a country being used as a fucking distraction from the files. GFY WaPo. Paywall free link: archive.ph/6Ftz1

It's so crazy that This: Became this:

11/ The former DOGE engineer “allegedly told the whistleblower that he needed help transferring data from a thumb drive ‘to his personal computer so that he could ‘sanitize’ the data before using it at [the company.]’”

10/ “The complaint alleges that after leaving govt employment, the former DOGE member told colleagues he had a thumb drive w/ Social Security data & had kept his agency computer & credentials, which he allegedly said carried largely unrestricted ‘God-level’ security access to the agency’s systems…”

5/ An earlier thread of mine about an earlier whistleblower report and the Trump admin’s “Save” voter purge system, which is a key component of the GOP’s “Save America Act”. bsky.app/profile/jenn...

3/

A new whistleblower report alleges that a former DOGE engineer told co-workers at his new job that that he “previously had unrestricted ‘God-level’ access to the SSA’s systems” & that he possessed copies of SSA’s “Numident” & “Master Death” files, which he planned to use at his new job. 3/10/26…1/

Never really been into pop, but I look at today's stars vs. 80s & earlier & we need to bring back the era of Tiffanys & Debbie Gibsons. I'm sorry, but everything is so manufactured, choreographed, physically altered & completely lacking a musical focus. Not sure any of them even actually sing live.

This is now one of my favorite things anyone has ever said: "To see it pop up in something like Stranger Things and connect with a new generation – that’s magic. 𝙄𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙘 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚. 𝙎𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢."

Fucking. TIME CHANGE. Bullshit. Didn't hear a single mention of it this time and it completely fucked me this morning, more so than usual. It's utter nonsense that we still do this.

Can't imagine why so many had a really fucking hard time voting for her. What more appropriate place for a smug cackling "I told you so" as you enjoy the smell of your own farts than the funeral of a man whose shoulders you stand upon, that honestly, you are not even remotely qualified to eulogize.

Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.

UPDATE: Sunny, a U.S. citizen, is on her way home after being shipped across state lines overnight. How the hell did this happen? Press conference tomorrow at Broadview, where we will hear Sunny’s side of the story. More details soon.

Oh god, I'm crying. 😭 Imagine the feeling of joy & honour at seeing your pebble being chosen.

I am so ashamed, but I love Bridgerton so very much. Not a show I should've ever seen, let alone loved, but here I am. It's just so damned delightful. Charming. Fun. Witty. Fantastic sets & costumes. Lovable characters. Everything is horrible & it is just simple, pure & good. A most welcome escape.

I feel like the appropriate response should always be to punch people wearing them in the face until the glasses shatter, this should be legalized. No one who wears this shit can possibly be a decent human being. Much like Cybertrukkk drivers.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
