USERS: we love bluesky but it has problems
BLUESKY: great we'll fix them
USERS: do you want to know what they are
BLUESKY: absolutely not
USERS: you're alienating the people who actually use your product
BLUESKY: skeets are now florps
USERS: what
BLUESKY: pictures go sideways
Look, if you are going, I will give you a pass on one (and only one) condition:
The minute this guy opens his mouth you fucking boo his ass. I mean the whole room needs to be aligned. Boo him off the stage.
Anyone who shows up for this travesty is knowingly choosing to act as a prop for authoritarian kabuki because they’re too cowardly or amoral to pass up vapid schmoozing and free drinks. They deserve your contempt, and possibly a few pieces of rotting produce.
From the start I have been saying that the bitch narrative was too cheap and easy to be taken at face value. Both stories which she has openly admitted to involved someone who just kept screwing up in major ways, including one who exposed her whole family to Covid. In that case I'd be a bitch too.
Live rn! Unions in South Korea are rambunctious when gathering. @reuters.com:"Workers have been emboldened by record profits at chip companies, ​as booming demand for AI infrastructure has stretched supply and driven prices higher."
This is Samsung's giant chip factory complex in Pyeongtaek.
Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics.
The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.
Not to take away anything from Woodward & Bernstein but Leslie Stahl's role in breaking Watergate to a national audience is often left out of the story.
whoa John Roberts is corrupt as shit? no way
My overall sentiment on the Zizians and their fellow travelers is:
It's deeply bad for you to think your own beliefs matter that much.
a cool thing about these guys is they can't stop themselves from being recorded saying things that counsel for the defense will giddily weaponize
Sepp Blatter should wake up every day and say a thousand prayers to Infantino for making it so nobody will even remember what used to be considered one of the most corrupt eras in the history of any sports body because of what a shitshow this tenure has been
Happy Day to all who celebrate
public bathrooms that are accessible to all: a simple, necessary, revolutionary ask that we can all work on making happen right now
If you go to this thing you deserve the abuse and I hope he singles you out by name so that a Secret Service agent can hit you in the face with a lemon meringue pie.
We gotta get these fucking people out of power if for no other reason than to put an end to these dipshits saying shit like this in public without any shane at all
Elizabeth Williamson once wrote about me, and I can attest she's a skilled, thorough, and honest reporter. If you're in the public eye, you should expect journalists to write about you—especially if you hold public office.
Kash Patel is pure garbage, even when he's sober.
Country was founded on the concept that ain’t nobody gotta listen to anybody. Whole Declaration of Independence boils down to that.
And yet it only took 250 years for basically every state actor to bend the knee to Biff from Back To The Future 2.
people in your replies are making me wanna fight so instead i’m gonna just link a post that’s a frequent “tapping the sign” point for me on this one (sorry): bsky.app/profile/sine...
That's exactly why, & I'm glad to see someone who's not mentally ill say so. Marginalized people can also generally see through this ableist excuse better than white people too because white people need Trump to be a madman so they don't examine his impulses in themselves or how they created him.
Things Metro LA spends more money on than they collect in bus fares include
•Illegal highway expansions
•Free motorist assistance
•Park and ride subsidies

(And remember, dear WSJ reader, that student debt is GOOD because it maintains control over labor)
Here's an important read for today: policymakers are encouraging students to learn trades that are costly to teach, but community colleges and apprenticeships don't have the capacity to meet demand. This sends students to the more expensive for-profit sector, where they take on debt.
FWIW, I think folks are dramatically underestimating the likelihood that the Virginia Supreme Court will invalidate the redistricting amendment.
The thing to *keep a very close eye on* is who gets the NASA contracts, and if they are at arm's length from the relations that Isaacman has so publicly fostered prior to being planted in the role.
There are reasons why Musk pushed so heavily on this nomination.
No what the institutions are stepping in to stop democratic measures?
What’s next? You’re going to tell me that representative government is so corrupted that our only way forward is to aggressively force institutions to change?
In the Trump Era “unqualified political donor” is almost always preferable to “insane political supporter.”
The U.S. Navy was under the direction of the former and will now be under the direction of the latter.
Not exactly doing the same shit. Democrats are allowing the voters to decide if redistricting should happen. Republicans just force it on their constituents. It’s almost like they don’t believe consent matters. Curious.
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
Because I'm still on this. Imagine you have Country A frothing at the mouth for a war, and Country B saying "no, we don't want violence, we don't like killing." And then Country A invades, so Country B of course defends itself. And then the NYT calls that a "head-spinning reversal." Come on, guys.
HASSAN: I agree all should have access to healthy foods, but Trump has made it harder to afford groceries. Do high prices make it easier or harder for families to eat healthy?
RFK Jr: I would say that beef has dropped by 1% last quarter
HASSAN: No. Beef prices are up 20% since Trump took office
