very cool that this fun new feature is thoroughly integrated into Microsoft Office, the online multiplayer roleplaying game in which I am now a level 40 lawmage

Plausibly, this should (if it happens) be understood as the death of the federal Constitution Not just, to be clear, a mortal wound: imo that's already happened. The actual death. Such that it should no longer be understood to be in force

This is nuts. The only reason to do this is the cruelty and the racism. It will actively harm the U.S. economy. We're not talking about undocumented migrant workers here. These are legal PERMANENT residents.

Saturday in LA at No Kings 3 LAPD - 3 press unlawfully detained 2+ hours - 2 press unlawfully arrested & cited - 3 possible press handcuffed and driven away, identity/status unknown - Dozens of press unlawfully obstructed DHS - Person holding camera shot in face - Threw tear gas at group of press

Catching up on old @fivefourpod.bsky.social episodes is like watching a tragedy. First was www.fivefourpod.com/episodes/fed..., where Michael and Peter pointed out how little faith most of us had in Congress and SCOTUS, but Dems weren't talking about this "democracy=buying influence" case even

At least I know what this is, this time around. The first time this happened I thought something was seriously wrong and started checking for cancer. That the feds use this shit with abandon on their own citizens is a stain on this government. Anyway, protect yourself, friends. PPE is guud

TIL that Rubio once tweeted about an explosion "at the German Dam", but Germán Dam was actually the person who reported on the explosion. (Snopes includes Rubio's claim that his tweet was a typo, but I don't believe Rubio's claim.)

Sometimes it's not the book itself, it's just the best timing for your brain!

It takes SIXTEEN paragraphs for the New York Times to mention why the administration wanted to destroy nearly $10 million in contraception: It's because they claim the stockpile of IUDs, birth control pills, and hormonal implants are “abortifacient birth control.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/w...

A lot of people really haven't noticed that "nobody else gets to do ethnic cleansing except our people, who have suffered a lot historically and would thus never do ethnic cleansing unfairly" is what every single ethnic group that does ethnic cleansing tells itself and the world

This should result in regulation aimed at social media companies, not the browsing habits of young people, but so far our government has been doing the reverse: penalizing youth and granting companies a respite.

please my typos they’re very [sic]

I highly recommend Wolf Worm by @tkingfisher.com. I listened straight through in just 2 days to @maryrobinettekowal.com reading the audiobook. I devoured it like insects devouring a carc… ok, let's just say I really liked it.

idyllic Sunday drive on ~ 281 lbs (128 kg) of jet fuel

“This morning, the Israeli Police prevented the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land…from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, as they made their way to celebrate the Palm Sunday Mass.”

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

Crying. My daughter's not an addict, but I had to relearn everything I thought I knew to be her mom. I had to drastically re-evaluate what's actually important. *Don't be misled by the dumb headline. This is a harm reduction story, and it's an important one.*

There should be a full investigation and prosecution of all criminals who aided and abetted Epstein's crimes. Bankers and corporate elites must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. And then let's also immediately end the war Trump launched to bury this scandal.

Lotta overtime getting paid right now in DTLA

Horses charging, got other vid it’s not good they injured a few

LAPD out of L.A.

I said "good turnout" to the older lady next to me, and she said "I think we have enough people to go to the White House and drag him out, and I think that's what it's going to take."

This was amazing. People were cheering each time the dial was spun.

Update on the gates; cool, good man, this isn’t an issue at all

More gas. A young woman with a camera got shot in the eye and carried away Too chaotic to post

Not sure what this normies stuff is about but if you haven't noticed nice ladies do a lot of the activist work in this country and have since the abolitionist movement, you maybe should.

In all seriousness though, elder millennial jokes aside, I think it’s important to resist the media framing of any mainstream resistance to the status quo as just the shrill nonsense of middle-aged women with nothing better to do. This isn’t the first time they’ve run out this playbook.

slept in my Simon & Garfunkel t-shirt, then I got up to wash my face -- when I come back to bed, someone's taken my place

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

#NoKingsBoston had a roped off area, in memoriam. Tens of thousands of people walking the Boston Common, and yet everyone was respecting this space. #NoKings

after scott adams died nobody took over trimming dilbert's tie and it grew right up through the soft palate into his brain

USA 2026: “you are no longer protected by any right”

Dear Illinois State Bar Association: TRANS WOMEN ARE NOT "TRANSGENDER MALES." This kind of stuff you wrote in your April 2026 Illinois Bar Journal is why I and my trans lawyer siblings face so much discrimination. It's factually wrong.

this photo is fake fyi! feel free to block the acct if they don't take it down (people in the comments are tagging them in to let them know)

While they're being more careful in how they frame their defense of xAI in courts more explicitly focused on CSAM preferring instead to focus on broad claims of free speech infringement, they've been fighting against AI imagery regulation for years.

the way we SCREAMED when we looked up and saw this and SCRAMBLED for our phones 😭

From @rude1.blacksky.team : @blackskyweb.xyz now has over 30,000 users on its PDS, which is amazing

850 Tomahawk missiles could be $3,060,000,000... That is 3 billion sixty million US dollars. That is 1224 5 year biomedical research grants. Literally, over 6 millennia of biomedical research.

“80,000lbs of tofu left on the side of the highway for three weeks because the insurance company wouldn’t pay for its removal” is on the shortlist for most 2026 story of 2026

Backlash is continuing to grow after US House Democratic leaders made the decision to push off a war powers vote on President Donald Trump’s Iran war for more than two weeks, even though they may have the votes to pass it immediately.

I nearly cried in the doctor's office today, for gratitude and relief. I walked in having already taken 7 of the 9 migraine pills I'm allowed per month in the first 5 days. I left with different pills to take if I get a migraine and a new daily prescription that might keep me from getting any.

Julius Caesar introduced a coin with his name, image, and the title DICT PERPETVO; dictator for life. It was created in February of 44 B.C. and stopped being minted in March of 44 B.C., for some reason.
