Good evening from Los Angeles.

Tech has changed a lot over the past few decades. One thing that hasn't changed: a paperclip is still a great IT tool

Ban stock trading by lawmakers in Congress. Full stop.

Draft text of a JOINT RESOLUTION Providing for congressional disapproval of the use of United States Armed Forces against Venezuela concluding: Be it therefore resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the use of force by the United States Armed Forces and any other Departments of the U.S. Government is hereby disapproved and, consistent with Section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution, directs the President immediately to remove U.S. forces from the territory of Venezuela.

democrats need to introduce a resolution disapproving trump's aggression and directing him to withdraw US forces.

here's a draft. it's not rocket science.

We saw The Princess Bride at the Hollywood Bowl in 2021, and Rob Reiner talked about the film before it played. What a magical evening, and what a special, talented man.

I agree with you. Interestingly, last night I needed to buy something, so I went to the brand's direct website. With their BF sale, it was $43 + shipping, expected to arrive middle of next week. I checked Amazon, same thing (sold by the same company) was $32, free shipping, arriving Sunday.

Amazon ran Black Friday deals for two weeks, and today launched Cyber Monday Deals on Small Business Saturday. Very on brand, but I suppose it's better than co-opting SBS.

@whatleydude.com Happy birthday, friend. I made a donation to CALM in your honour, I hope it helps somebody who needs it. Trumpets!

I first read this as "defecations from the authoritarian regime" and honestly it might be more accurate

That must be one crazy mud/rock slide

We were at 1.4 in/hr briefly, but for the most part it's been ~0.2 in/hr. It has slowed quite a bit over the last hour.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Oh nooo! I'm so sorry 😞

A screenshot of an email from Cards Against Humanity, explaining that "Trump is Going to Fuck Christmas" and that their next set is informational, so tariffs do not apply

Well done @cardsagainsthumanity.com

I guess I HAVE to buy this, right? Right.

Remember when he started calling everything that he heard but didn't like "fake news" and it worked with his base?

How much longer until he starts calling everything he sees but doesn't like "AI slop"?

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

This ought to be a huge story everywhere. It is imperative that we not normalize sending troops into blue cities on false pretenses. The consequences could be tragic. Journalists must rebut the lies and quote the outraged at the top of their articles and segments. www.cnn.com/2025/09/27/p...

Washington Post Columnist Says She Was Fired for Posts After Charlie Kirk Shooting

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

A bit ago, I was in a gas station market w/ my wife, when I saw one of the local right-wing, nut job podcasters in line behind us.

We finished our purchase, the clerk told us to have a nice day, and I replied, loudly, "thanks! We are late for the Antifa meeting but it should be a good one!"
