i think it's perfectly reasonable to say "you can't make what sound like death threats aimed at a specific person even if it's a song lyric" and remove/hide a post and maybe a brief posting lock-out like 24hr the rest of it is absolute amateur hour

Infuriating.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

The pictured tweet, by itself and with no other context, should be enough to prove to anyone with a working brain that he’s mentally unfit to serve as president.

something that would make for better spectacle and pushing the GOP into neurotic implosion is tying the destruction of our welfare state and cost of living to the masked secret police disappearing American citizens and inducing pregnant women into abortions in secret prisons full of piss and shit

The NYT is not a serious journalistic institution.

We did it for you Dick Cheney

I want to see Mamdani win in NYC tomorrow for a lot of reasons, but one of them is absolutely to watch Bill Ackman crash out

I followed a big list that someone built of independent "journalists" a while back, and every so often I realize I should have been more careful with selecting which ones I follow.

HEY KIDS!

The DVD (1996) is now as old as the original 8-inch floppy disk (1967) was when the DVD came out.

Amnesty International USA condemned the strikes as a “murder spree.” “The administration has not even named its victims, nor provided evidence of their alleged crimes. But even if they did, intentionally killing people accused of committing crimes who pose no imminent threat to life is murder.”

people talk about how they can't cut off their family members but imagine what sitting down to thanksgiving dinner with people who say heinous shit like this does to your soul. what are you teaching your children to tolerate.

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo “I’m an American citizen so leave me alone” “Alright, we just got to verify that” www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

My condolences to the entire population of Haiti, who have apparently been killed by a group of only 25 other people.

big fan of the student loan refinancing ads. really enjoying this world we've created.

chan is married to mark zuckerberg, who has helped more than most to destroy US public health & biomedical research capacity, so pardon me if i roll my eyes

these people are traitors and should be treated as such

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

it is my pleasure to report they are indeed mad as fuck on the other site over being blocked and ignored. keep up the excellent work everyone

white house has joined bluesky click here to block all official us government accounts instantly bsky.app/profile/did:...

“And so as a member of the House, I am going to ______” Care to add this sentence to all of these types of posts in the future, please?

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Uline's owners "have used their wealth to funnel millions of dollars into the most extreme RW politicians & mvmts... contributed $144 million to conservative groups in the 2024 election cycle... donated $4+ million to bankroll anti-abortion groups who pushed to overturn Roe v Wade." refuseuline.com

Here we just mostly know them as the people who've taken over our Supreme Court

I'm not a lawyer so I'd love to be corrected on this, but I'm pretty sure that "sharing a website to find a killer to rub your wife out" is not currently illegal, by itself. Party of free speech!

Reuters reporting this blatant crime as if it’s a lunch date is a prime example of the kind of careless, aloof normalization in journalism that has greased the skids of this catastrophic authoritarian power grab.

How did this dumb asshole get to where he is today? I remember reading Paul Graham essays about how Sam Altman was the best, smartest founder he's ever met, or something like that. I guess that says a lot about Paul Graham's judge of character.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

I think there is a clear, factual, historical chain of events which establishes that attitudes like this are what got us into this situation. No, we are not going to have to forgive. We are going to need trials, for hundreds to thousands of people. Nuremberg, not Ford pardoning Nixon.

Unsolicited chick pic

I don't know anything about Machado, really, but I had assumed that she was the opposite of Trump in a lot of ways, just based on who she is. It sounds like she fully supports the fascists including the US doing extralegal murder, so yeah, this isn't really a whole lot better than Trump winning.

Sigh.

I ran across this job listing from a company called Cluely, and holy shit. In the last 6 months, Andreessen Horowitz, Abstract Ventures, and Susa Ventures have invested just over $20M in this company. Making employees pay for company equipment ✅ Almost double a normal work week ✅ "Influencers" ✅

typically you don't receive play by plays of what a grand jury is doing

Hamilton: “The president’s power is unreviewable.”

This is a great ruling. How can we ensure that it's enforced and that the agents who will inevitably ignore it, as well as their entire chain of command, are held accountable for their actions?

I am confident that I will live to see the day when Greg Bovino and others like him go to prison for the rest of their lives.

BREAKING: Antifa designates the Trump administration as a domestic terrorist organization.

The federal government under Stephen Miller is explicitly trying to start a civil war. That is my statement.

If these “officers” had a warrant or other legal reason for arresting this man, the video wouldn’t have ended this way. This proves they are just kidnapping random people off the street. These people are a danger to the public and should be arrested and charged.

There is a simple and basic truth here which is that this is not how legitimate law enforcement agencies in a democratic nation state behave. It’s simple and basic, so much so that it bears repeating again and again lest it slip away through the open Overton window.

These “agents” like doing this. They want to do this because it’s a legal way to feed their worst compulsions. And they’ve been given full authority to do it - verbatim - by Stephen Miller and President Trump.

if lowtax's ex-wife is saying you remind her of fucking lowtax maybe you should stop posting

I had to expunge my thoughts on Bluesky's current, uh, choppy waters into a proper blog post (which jay can't take down for being too mean or saying 'lol' in a threatening way) azhdarchid.com/delusions-of...

Complaining about cancel culture in Riyadh is one of the best examples I've seen of how "free speech culture" rots the brain.
