the foundational concept of Bluesky was to create a space for tech bros by using invite only for a span
the foundational reality of Bluesky is that invites became life rafts for queers fleeing Twitter by way of furries
nobody working for Bluesky has ever forgiven this
You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂
I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1
When I chose this silly name I thought it would make people laugh, I never expected it to confuse a vast subset of slack-jawed MAGA Republicans. I am NOT the actor Liam Neeson. Jesus you people are dumber than fucking landscaping rocks.
No one will ever trust us again. In time of crisis, we will have no one who to whom we can turn, no one who will stand by our side. Day-in and day-out this administration betrays our allies and enables our enemies. It is perverse and nauseating.
A list of 8 targets, all oil facilities, in Arab countries.
There are several new Lego videos, I think released today.
They're different.
One accuses the US of piracy (legally correct, IMO).
The other includes a target list.
As if this has become a negotiating portal.
yiiiikes
our money being sent to bail out gulf oil monarchies while we pay $6/gallon at the pump. Hail to the thief

Fascinating story by @charlesrusnell.bsky.social on intersection of AI and foreign interference in Alberta’s separation campaign. It raises many troubling questions. Who is paying for AI slop disinformation? And who is consuming it? And how on earth can those on the No side compete? #ableg #abpoli

Tragic and heart-breaking. Why we must not let our guard down - measles is terribly contagious and can and will come roaring back if we let it.
Stuporpower, more like it.
Tough day at the orifice
"The cost to the American economy will grow with every day Trump fails to get his surrender executed. And the price Iran will extract is likely to grow, too."👇
This is the third high profile alleged case of this:
Karolyin Leavitt's brother's baby mama
Amanda Ungaro (baby mama to Paolo Zampolli
And this
Leavitt's brother's effort to deport his son's mother thus far has failed AFAIK.
One of the dispiriting things about being a political writer in this era is that things are simultaneously horrifying and, in an intellectual sense, kind of boring. There’s nothing particularly challenging to grapple with; just a lot of hackwork where you point out the same lies for the 87th time.
on the one hand, we're apparently big enough to be a valid target now
on the other hand, we're apparently not big enough to actually spend any time on before targeting us because they clearly have not seen this site's takes on the war
Why are Canadian media reporting on Canada Post as if they've all been given a script to follow? Journalists are interfering with the union's contract ratification vote by parroting Canada Post management's talking points and telling Canadians that it isn't viable.
Starting to see some “one year into the tariffs” conversations on American media, like this, where they’re all failing to recognize that it’s not tariffs that angered Canadians — it’s THREATENING OUR SOVEREIGNTY.
I don’t know how hard that is to understand. It didn’t end. It continues.
The problem when I graduated was that there were 200 modern British history PhDs putting in applications for every job, you had to apply for like 50 jobs to get one, and a fair few people left academia before they did. That was unpleasant in its own way, but it wasn’t a death spiral like it is now.
The thing is you have a Secretary of Defense who quite literally does not think germs are real, he explicitly rejects germ theory
The question to ask isn't "why did pete do (x)," it's "why did roger wicker vote to confirm a guy who literally doesn't think germs are real"
Sen. Elizabeth Warren asks Trump Fed pick Kevin Warsh if he has investments tied to the Trump family. He won't answer directly.
The Trump Administration desperately wants to win the war with Iran, and desperately wants to lose the war with Russia - but can't seem to manage to do either.

Hi this joke is for me
Can’t make this up. The idiot doesn’t understand he’s the idiot in this message.
just had an extremely cursed thought. what if elder millennials are just unleaded gen x
The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.
I think our society really is grossly underestimating how important visible accountability is for social cohesion.
May we re-learn this lesson.
