this is my district, i voted today, the Democrat was outspent literally and this is not an exaggeration 10x to 15x by the Republicans who were running TV ads every 15 minutes of the county sheriff saying the D candidate was a literal criminal while the D campaign couldn't even afford yard signs

oh wow finally a new release from charles dickens

Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.

There’s a documentary about Rakiura’s father (Bill) which we just watched on Kanopy. I found it really moving (they find him dead, of old age, halfway through chewing a leaf) but knowing this year is a great breeding year helps. Also their mating is very funny. And lasts 40 minutes apparently.

American Christians, always very normal, have become, incredibly, even more so.

Dena Al-Adeeb argues that women and girls bear the highest cost of U.S. wars framed as “liberation,” from Iraq to Iran.

The authors explain the gap by suggesting that structural oppression requires solidarity among the oppressed—essentially, that we need friendships to weather the harms of white patriarchy and so it’s a skill we develop.

Joining the Nazis because they’re just nicer, darn it.

This framing is appalling and, importantly, just fucking wrong - "just $1" is $1 too much, because the charges are illegitimate - it is not illegal in Georgia to induce one's own abortion, so I don't know what "illegal abortion" the AP (or the prosecutors) are talking about here

Editing this essay felt like a breath of fresh air. It’s tough, vulnerable, moving, and beautifully written by @obedmanuel.bsky.social — but the last third also gave me a sense of hope I’ve been desperately missing.

This is extremely good but I do not recommend watching it when you are catastrophically depressed.

Sometimes people put him and Mayor Pete in the same bucket but, and I want you to understand the gravity of this statement and the difficulty I have making it, that is unfair to Mayor Pete

Newsom is the perfect candidate when you want a sexually predatory conservative who defends a genocidal government while targeting trans people and the unhoused, but you're scrupulous about facial symmetry.

Dispatches from American airports I've received today (3/24/25) ⬇️

Gallego says taking AIPAC money is 'akin to endorsing" what's happening in Gaza and Iran. Cory Booker says he's sworn off AIPAC, and all PAC money. Newsom says people believe Israel is becoming an apartheid system. Pritzker says AIPAC is a MAGA front. Even Shapiro and Emmanuel demur on AIPAC.

if you're like me and initially asked "how?" in a variety of ways, there's video going around showing his abilities (no prosthetics either, all nub) with shooting guns (also explains cornhole talents) & the vehicle he was in is a tesla so i just know he went with full self driving mode.

everything is great

In my head all the ICE guys live together in a big dorm.

i, too, am angry that people didn't respond to events in 2013 and 2014 on Bluesky

btw it's known conspiracist Chad Bianco

yeah so I don’t think the choice we’re being offered is “pay the police to play Candy Crush or pay them to lock up your neighbors” it’s that this even *being a job* is a choice and we can unmake it at any time

Barrel leg pants look like shit. On everyone.

I'm receiving reports from airports all over the country about ICE sightings. I'll be sharing updates here as I get them. ⬇️

Mr. President sir, the people want you to die.

oh no it’s deleted but I don’t really think you should get away with dirty deleting this level of racism

listen im including myself here but is everyone on this site just dumb as shit lately

If you spot ICE agents at an airport in the coming days, I want to hear from you. Reach me via Signal at marisakabas.04

No a single thing happening right now is "hard to message." 1. No war on Iran. 2. Donald Trump is responsible for gas prices rising. 3. The GOP has shut down the TSA. 4. Abolish ICE... etc etc etc

You. Need. To. Stop. Doing. The. Ridiculous. Resist. Lib. Thing. Where. You. Accuse. Everyone. You. Disagree. With. Of. Being. In. Favor. Of. Trump. It. Is. Obnoxious.

Humanity will nowhere be free until the last realtor is throttled with the entrails of the last chiropractor.

Adding alt text to your image is the absolute least you can do to make the site friendlier and more accessible to everyone. It takes minutes, it gives you extra room for jokes, and it’s an important part of the culture here. Or you can be like Jo, and make a fool of yourself.

Work is a social relationship. We create things together. This is especially true of UX design. AI's value proposition is freedom from relationships. So when designers champion AI tools, we are not making ourselves layoff-proof. We are reinforcing a system that frames us as unnecessary friction.

If you're looking for a free movie streamer, see if your local library does @kanopy.com. They've currently got The Zone of Interest, Minority Report, I Saw the TV Glow, The Conversation, the original Indian Jones movies, etc. Also rare older stuff like Trace of Stones (1966). Kanopy is neat.

Dylan M. Taylor, a Senior DevOps Engineer at Credit Genie, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu, & Arch. He collaborated with two Microsoft employees to merge it. Lennart Poettering then personally blocked the revert & allowed the PR through. The surveillance state runs on unpaid simps.

I should read Snow Crash again.

what’s going on in my drafts

here you go

welcome to bluesky,

I feel like I’m going crazy. Saying someone should die isn’t a “threat.” Should you be able to say someone should die? I’m ambivalent. BUT THAT ISN’T WHAT THREATS ARE. A threat, by definition, requires a statement of intent. We all know this but pretend we don’t because melodrama is fun.

A thing that’s fun to think about is that when it happens it will be a GLOBAL celebration. Like there will be video from around the world of people dancing and laughing and singing

many such cases

first you suck out the curds and then you use your prehensile tongue to extract the succulent nutmeats
