Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I did end up marrying this girl so I have lots of opportunities to do this.

Once I dated a girl who would apologize every time she sent four texts before I sent a reply. I didn't get it (still don’t) but I now find a great deal of joy sending texting her three times in a row followed by a 4th saying “sorry for quad text”.

We need Nuremberg trials for Trump administration officials and ICE/Border Patrol agents.

The most corrupt administration in American history.

idk who needs to hear this but the President of the United States of America is APPEALING a judges order forcing him to fully fund SNAP.
Yes — DJT is appealing a ruling telling him to NOT starve his own people. Let that simmer.

Something I've noticed - Good products are typically something that someone creates, people use the product, find that it's awesome, word of mouth spreads, excitement builds, product becomes successful, and makes the creator a lot of money.

Something I've also noticed - AI is the opposite of that.

In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

This Statement of Legislative Intent requests the Office of Sustainability and Environment (OSE) to include evaluation of replacing parking in the City's right-of-way with trees in the development of OSE's Tree Canopy Equity and Resilience Plan (Plan) with such factors as estimates of capital and operating costs, trade-offs in terms of vehicle movement and parking capacity, strategies for reducing conflicts with utility infrastructure, and identification of locations in Seattle most suited/ready for replacing parking with trees. This SLI requests that OSE's Urban Forestry Team collaborate with City departments (Seattle Public Utilities, Seattle City Light, Seattle Parks and Recreation, Seattle Department of Transportation, Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections, and Finance and Administrative Services) to consider measures akin to those proposed by the City of Paris, France. The 2024-2030 Paris Climate Plan set a goal of replacing 60,000 parking spaces with street trees.

A budget amendment from Alexis Mercedes Rinck asks the Office of Sustainability and the Environment to study the replacement of on-street parking spaces with trees.

Using ChatGPT

Can Vance kill Trump with the same black magic he used on Pope Francis? We asked three MAHA moms at a Bob Evans in the north Cincinnati suburbs.

Western capitalist countries are using their police to physically attack and detain peaceful protesters, just so another Western capitalist country can continue committing genocide and ethnic cleansing with impunity.

And we consider this normal.

My crowning achievement is top8’ing a SCG Open with Elves splashing U for Edric when that card was new, then later having my blue Elves list featured as the Elves list on an SCG Versus video.

bitcoin investment companies are going to small dilapidated rural towns and creating bitcoin mining operations so massive they’re using so much electricity it’s driving up electricity costs and giving the locals diseases and illnesses from the pollution it generates. tech companies are a great evil

WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Seattle city workers’ union backs Katie Wilson for mayor The largest union representing about 3,000 city of Seattle workers chose not to endorse the incumbent in the mayor's race, breaking with many other labor unions.

Employees under Mayor Harrell endorse Wilson.

As promised, in light of the WaPo report of Everglades camp detainees being swarmed by mosquitoes in the shower and unable to sleep at night due to being bitten, I want to briefly address concentration camp history and mosquitoes. I won't be comprehensive but will give a few examples. [1/17]

I'd rather see wind farms spring up, than watch the landscapes everyone is passionate about die because we didn't save them - because we were so keen on keeping them pretty.

These places aren't just a vista. They are a fragile living cloak upon the land. They will not survive climate change.

Since Ohio delivered $600 million to the Browns, we've learned the Haslams:

- Sold 10 percent of the Crew for $90 million
- Closed on a $25 million mansion in North Palm Beach, Florida
- Donated six- to seven-figures to defeat Boston's progressive mayor with a 61% approval rating

Criminal.

As poor as the Bush administration's emergency response to Hurricane Katrina was—over 1,800 people died, many of them after the storm had stopped, and thousands more suffered—at least the government, media, and public treated that as bad.

bluesky is boring guys there isn’t even an AI chatbot that tells you to worship hitler

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky.

So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵

Texas officials blast National Weather Service, a service THEY VOTED TO DEFUND, for faulty forecasting in deadly flood disaster. -Anonymous

Trump’s DOGE Cuts Are a Texas-Sized Disaster Reckless agency layoffs and the dismantling of federal relief programs could leave the Lone Star State in peril.

The Trump Administration is 100% at fault for the unfortunate disaster ongoing in Texas.
