Maybe I'm overengineering this. Maybe I just need linux instead of a containerization solution.

oh your installing NixOS. would you like some thigh highs and smokey eyeshadow to go with that

Trump at peak cognitive function couldn't embed a video. This is his own staff and minders propagating one of the cruelest fantasies ever concocted by the right. They know it's fake, they know it makes sick people skip chemo and surgery with belief immortality is around the corner. They don't care.

Some of us have been screaming for years that THIS IS NOT HOW ACTUAL HUMAN POLITICS WORKS, that you don’t win a contest for hearts and minds by algorithmically selecting a topic and hammering it, but it genuinely appears our Dem leaders are simply not capable of thinking about this any other way.

Yes, that is precisely what is happening. Dems believe the way to win in politics is to outsource their own voices and rhetoric to pollsters, and pollsters relentlessly push the idea that health care is Dems’ strongest issue, and thus every event and crisis should be redirected towards health care.

Translation: "I arrived in Bogotá. I no longer have a visa to travel to the USA. I don't care," responded the Colombian president. "The seat of the United Nations cannot continue in New York," he added.

Fuck we had this discourse last year, I read this, and had successfully banished it from my brain. Fuck

I am here for this. 🫡

Good Idea Fairy: What if you configured nixos for the first time Me: ooooo The Fates: lol lmao

“Like with open source, open social is a compounding effort. Every mildly successful open social app lifts all open social apps. Every piece of shared infrastructure can benefit somebody else. At some point, open is bound to win.”

going to need a little while to digest the news that Kaleb Horton is dead. RIP. he had the gift.

Yes, there was. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_La...

Sometimes I wonder if there was a concerted effort to take over Labour and destroy it from the inside.

Stephenson’s “Locomotion No. 1” (a precursor of the “Rocket”, four years later) made its first journey two hundred years ago today. It was the first steam locomotive to haul a passenger-carrying train on a public railway, the Stockton & Darlington.

We are watching a coordinated right-wing takeover of popular media and it won’t stop here. archive.today/bXzZd

“Mental health” differences disappear when you ask about “mood” bc conservatives don’t want to use the words “mental health.”

The thing that will drive me insane is watching the right explicitly calling for violence against their enemies (see also the Daily Caller article) and then in the same breath declaring anyone who even points it out as being a violent extremist, and then the media going “Sure, makes sense to me”

Oh hey rereading this story I forgot this claim, by the head of security who elon later stiffed. Anyways one neat thing is how tesla vehicles are the only non diplomatic vehicles not subject to customs inspections at the border

this is still a side plot www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/w...

the kids have not found out about Fade Into You yet. i think this is why Gen Z is not having sex

I will say the current market feels a lot more like the telecom bubble than the dot-com bubble primarily in that it's a lot of phantom valuation based on things that feel like they should be legal but aren't because no one has thus far been stupid enough to do it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6xw...

really just the ultimate distillation of the tankie project: communism is dead, and liberalism killed it, and to avenge it, we must pile corpses so deep that that liberalism drowns

Hmm I’ve got a new coeur de pirate album out and some more sad girl music to look forward to in October it feels very 2014 again

Random internet trolls should not be able to get away with ruining a good person’s life simply because she (fully legally!) posted a joke about them on the internet. If you have anything to spare to help my friend fight back against this monster please donate.

So um. This is what's been up with me for the last year. I hate hate hate asking but very much appreciate your support. www.gofundme.com/f/fund-me-if...

So, someone paid money to run an inauthentic corporate coercion operation against a US business to create an artificial corporate crisis, drum up fake bad PR to manipulate stock price, drive away customers, and cause them to close stores across the country under the cover of far-right “outrage”?

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

The Citizenship Clause is the linchpin of the entire Second Republic Constitution. You nullify that, the entire thing crumbles in an instant

Gonna lay down a marker here: if they do in fact rule for Trump here, it will be properly considered Dred Scott II, and will in an important sense mark the end of the Union

logically, "Tankies get mad so easily" can be a true statement whether or not you're a tankie or mad

Well don't I feel stupid

“I am a Gramscian in that I believe that to become hegemonic an ideology must offer a vision of a future in which the interests of those who rule coincide with the interests of everyone else. MAGA fails to offer one...Yet the opposition to MAGA also fails to offer an alternative.”

Incredibly dangerous. Literally the title is "Enough Is Enough … I Choose VIOLENCE!" dailycaller.com/2025/09/26/i...

the evidence in favor of the traditional understand of the birthright citizenship clause is so overwhelming that a bunch of conservative legal hacks had to conjure a fake literature int existence to create the appearance of dispute. i expect the court to side with trump, of course.

I know people are afraid reactionary centrists are going to take over dems but boy idunno feel pretty confident meemaws who dont know what a transgenders is, are suddenly going to be screaming in our defense, likely in a mildly offensive but spiritually Ally way.

A bit of personal news for y’all. Today is my last day as a member of the Bluesky team! The past 2+ years building out Bluesky’s Infrastructure and Platform team and scaling the network from 100,000 -> 40,000,000 users have been the most intense and rewarding years of my life.

until there's a Republican congress and a Democratic president, in which case it will suddenly be very important. the country cannot function as a real democracy with corrupt, partisan serial liars controlling the Supreme Court; it has to be the first priority of a new administration.

so article i is just dead dead

The US military is already repeatedly following orders to kill boatloads of civilians in the caribbean. I'm not sure what more "following orders" Hegseth could get out of a full huddle of every general & admiral, so my gut instinct is less "big plan to do crimes" and more "stupid business book idea"

lol I fucking KNEW IT “…to hear him make a short speech on military standards and the ‘warrior ethos’” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
