If you can’t see it on FB, here’s the text of it in the alt (image is a bit hard to read).

Throwback to this gem

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Bedford CC dealing with the bigots like an absolute boss.

Hemingway was once bet that he couldn’t write the world’s happiest short story in just 5 words. He replied,

I have been saying this for almost a year and it is long past due for Dems to adopt this framing for 2 reasons: 1) it is entirely and demonstrably true. 2) the public must be prepared for the enormity of what will be required to dismantle the criminal organization and create a better democracy.

I have such a low tolerance for anyone who says "I refuse to discuss this with you until you read THIS EXACT BOOK and watch THIS EXACT VIDEO." Why? Wouldn't literally any expert on the subject tell me the same thing? Or do I need to hear the same conspiracy theory bullshit you did?

This makes no sense, this is impossible. Everybody knows that when a politician attempts a coup, you do a little grandstanding and then do nothing for years and then the coup guy gets to be in charge. That's just the way it WORKS

Just got this myself, so I'm a bit unnerved but at the same time it's fine. I'll be annoyed if they delay my Sunday post tho

I lost momentum today. I talk about that a bit, eventually

September 2019 bitch Although I was uhhhh 49 years old at the time

Congress: he can’t go to war without us!!! I mean… technically, you’re right. Maybe do something about it other than a strongly worded letter.

Yeah, we've tried this strategy for decades now and it still led us to this because Fascism Lite is still fascism. Newsom is an opportunist transphobe with a sketch af past, links to a LOT of these same people, and a gross history of personal & political dehumanization of marginalized groups.

Look I'm not insinuating anything specifically but over the years Ice Cube has written a suspicious number of bars about how not-gay he is

This is evergreen, the moment never passes

Conservative views are also correlated with a lower disgust tolerance. The faster you reject distasteful new ideas, the more likely you are to be conservative. Which when you think about it... duh

another big story that’s flown under the radar

I remember this 😂

This is kind of brilliant. I love it.

Something about being able to do a Donald Duck voice makes middle aged men think that every child they meet is dying for it to be inflicted on them

The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.

KANSAS JUST ENACTED A BILL THAT INVALIDATES AND REVOKES THE DRIVER'S LICENSES OF TRANS PEOPLE. www.kslegislature.gov/li/b2025_26/...

It's the truth. You gotta shame the botlickers!

If you’re going to be required to use a digital robot butler then surely you want that to mean that it will do work while you’re frolicking in meadows or relaxing with novels and tea, not that it will do work while you somehow go out and find other, harder work to do even more of, for the same pay

🧵 A lot of people are saying the DOGE Medicaid data release is a HIPAA violation. It isn't. It doesn't contain individual patient records. But what it actually is, and what it's actually being used for, is worse. New post ⤵️

When I say out loud that there's a widening gap in ability to get jobs, get promoted, get raises between people who use LLMs and people who don't, folks (rightfully!!) lose their minds. But this isn't hyperbole. It's a report from the front line of an industry that was decimated by LLMs first.

You know how anthropologists love finding interred skeletons with bones that have been broken and safely set, lbecause it shows that real humanity happened there? Old literature is like that too, if you read it.

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

We were told to scrub "biodiversity" from our websites because of this shit.

If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover that people in the olden days had the same thoughts and feelings and dreams and anxieties you do, sometimes articulated differently, sometimes exactly the same way. You are never truly alone in anything and old writings are a neon sign telling you so

As Ryan Dancey discourse is crossing the timeline, a reminder of what the OGL was *actually* supposed to achieve. It wasn't some benevolent gift to the community; Dancey was trying to drive system competitors out of the market.

I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind castpixel.itch.io/pcb-forge

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

I want to raise a hand here. THIRTY years ago it was nothing but a curiosity. Now it's useful but in limited cases. Because the whole time, we have been CATASTROPHICALLY WRONG about the difficulty of the problem. And we still are. NOTHING has been solved. NONE of the promises can be kept.

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

THEY HAD THE “NO TAKE ONLY THROW” DOG MEME SIX THOUSAND YEARS AGO

Hey you guys see me saying over and over again that whenever someone tries to make you angry or afraid they are not trying to help you, they are trying to manipulate you, right? Haaaaave you noticed all the AI bros are trying to scare you? "You're gonna be left behind" Just think about that a bit

Hey fellas, this is rape culture. This is what happens when you elect rapists. How do you like it when a rapist “forces themselves” on you and your community? How does it feel when your government storms your city with violent ICE agents and says don’t put up a fight, just sit back and take it?

JD Vance, six months ago: “We want governors and mayors to ask for the help. The president is not going out there forcing this on anybody.”

Let's start with the bible No more bible Oh, is that book SPECIAL

okay so you're saying he definitely posted the Obama gorilla post personally then refused to apologize for it

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

AEG would not exist without the creativity and hard work of designers.
