A dispensary called Maslow’s Higher-archy of Weed.

Can I offer people free advice, 'AI detectors' do not work. Not for text and generally not for images. None of them work.

sorry everyone we at pencil company know you liked pencils, but we can't think of any new ideas for them, so we're discontinuing pencils tomorrow. also, you won't be able to access all your pencil drawings, please burn them, cool

Politicians don't do shitty awful things to distract from other shitty awful things they did. They do shitty awful things because they're shitty awful people, and the sheer volume of that shitty awful stuff is absolutely overwhelming, to the point it's a sign we shouldn't let people be politicians.

Just so we’re all crystal clear on this: Orbit is, thermodynamically speaking, the stupidest possible place in the universe to put data centers. SpaceX does not intend to do this, it‘s just the usual snake oil. (Tanks of actual snake oil would be a better place to put data centers than in orbit.)

Nice, this will save them all the inconvenience of using their own phones to record themselves insulting the people they execute in the streets.

cops: knock knock me: do you have a warrant cops: ma'am we'd like to finish the joke me: judge who

the author of manufacturing consent being friends with a dude that convinces moot to make 4chan a breeding ground for 21st century fascism can’t only be understood with an analysis of economic class, all axes of oppression are always relevant

13 circuits, 13 justices. It‘s inexcusable that we haven’t expanded the Supreme Court in 150 years. While we’re at it, expand the House to 593 members so that the average district size is equal to the population of the smallest state.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

the democrats have everything they need to destroy the largest funder of the opposition right now today if they want to, if not legally then in the public square

We need to shut down the word "performative" until we can figure out what the hell is going on. Of course adopting symbols of protest and resistance is performative! Performance is a core strategy for mass movements!! That's why the call them demonstrations!!!

Describe your BlueSky account in a single image.

With no due respect, I’m not reading your substack screed about how Democrats are enabling fascism. You’re in a Nazi bar, bro.

One in four developers laid off over the past two years

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"

And at the end of the game all we get is body cams and QR codes or some shit and ice will ignore those rules just like they've been ignoring the constitution and multiple court orders. I do not understand the Dem cheerleaders on this app

This plus lead poisoning, yeah.

this may be controversial, but i think we should be much more skeptical of life advice offered up by people in their early twenties.

this kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use housing is illegal to [anvil drops on my head]

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

I learned a long time ago that as a trans woman, i could never get overly attached to a public figure.

"Just leave the US! My country lets people immigrate!" Okay. *Looks up the requirements to immigrate to your country* 1: Age restriction under 30 2: Must have more money than I've ever seen in one place 3: Must work in tech 4: Must be able-bodied 5: Visa costs upwards of $40,000 per person

“We must ensure that the poor-impulse-control mouth-breathers who flood our inland cities work for ICE and not CBP,“ say Senate Democrats.

“What’s most important here is that they didn’t step foot inside the school,” say Senate Democrats.

“Gosh, if only he’d been wearing a bodycam, he wouldn’t have been so quick to issue unconstitutional threats to a person filming him,” say Senate Democrats.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

There's apparently body cam footage of Alex's murder. Do people know this? This lets you know that a demand for body cams is USELESS and in fact just a way to give more money to the killers.

An innocent person was charged with a violent felony for more than a year based on that misconduct. As is often true, simply having the BWC did nothing to prevent the officer's misconduct in the moment. Body cam isn't going to deter ICE agents who record their crimes on their phones for fun.

the first best Senate ask is to split the DHS funding from the rest of the minibus. It wrongfoots Republicans, it unites the D caucus, and it becomes more compelling rather than less compelling the longer Rs resist it. plus all the minibus components were negotiated separately anyway

DHS is already required by law to cooperate with state probes. CBP is not ICE. Warrants for arrests are already required by law + 4th Amendment. ICE is perfectly content with standing outside churches/schools and kidnapping people as they come out. Democrats think we‘re stupid and easily fooled.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

I have been reliably informed by members of this government that losing access to twitter is one of the worst things that can befall a human being so this may be the single harshest consequence they have imposed on one of their own

They are wounded and flailing. Press the advantage.

The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

Awesome street art...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Thinking about this quote from my hero today. May it spread to the whole country. “I believe all Southern liberals come from the same starting point—race. Once you figure out they are lying to you about race, you start to question everything.” Molly Ivins

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

if we can be summarily murdered for responsibly exercising our most explicitly guaranteed constitutional rights, and if our exercise of those rights can be cited as the justification for our murder, we no longer have a constitution or a country

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

"Just stay cool and don't make trouble until the midterms" is not going to cut it as an opposition response to a murderous regime whose masked thugs are killing people in the streets and then attempting to round up witnesses and destroy evidence.

ICE et al murdering somebody today is absolutely (in part) retaliation & response to yesterday’s mass demonstrations & community solidarity.

once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

it's easy to blame rubes in flyover country for the nation's current predicament, but the fact of the matter is that a lot of it is down to years and years of elite moral and epistemic derangement, elite cowardice, and elite failure to overcome the collective action problem
