I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm Tear gas is an abortifacient. When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby. The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since. Horror movie stuff.
Since this whole debate is still happening, and since we are still not listening I will summarize what I understand the argument to be in the Lingua Franca of white nerds: Lord of the Rings analogies.
IT'S THURSDAY NIGHT IN GIRARD, GEORGIA CAN DIRTBIKE DERYL OUT FOX THE COPS AGAIN?! ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT, AND HERE HE COMES
As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.
Holy shit - shoutout to these brave pilots who are doing what every single one of us need to be

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...
This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.” It existed yesterday and is gone today.
KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."
It is my first public release of such content and I've tried to make everything as clear as possible, but if you have any issues or suggestions, feel free to DM me! Enjoy! #Blender3D #gumroad #spaceshiptember2025 #SST25
U mad, donky?
Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.
Here are the facts: Bluesky violated their own Terms of Service because they panicked and saw Nazis on twitter getting angry. They took marching orders from the Nazis and helped them target BIPOC and trans users on their website. @jay.bsky.team is complicit. @aaron.bsky.team is complicit
i think what i look for most in a social media website is for all the good posters not to be allowed to post
Decentralized town hall feeling pretty fucking centralized right now in the name of protecting a dead nazis feelings
if you're telling me that "political violence" is unacceptable I'd better see you call for abolishing the police and an end to all US military intervention because otherwise i think you only oppose "political violence" when the victim looks enough like you to make you scared for a moment.
NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails. It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.
As someone with 20 years reporting on right wing and fascist movements, you should goddamn know well that it doesn't matter what anyone says or does, they're going to use this as an excuse for authoritarian crackdowns with little to no relevance to the actual crime.
What I'd like to preach does not fit within the terms of service. You'll just have to imagine I guess
Dr Manhattan meme "it's 2025. Isreal is numbing whoever it wants and blaming the victims" but it's like thirty different years
So Israel is just bombing whatever country it wants?
Easy to say, but we're rapidly entering a reality where anyone trying to teach the truth in Texas is going to be teaching it unpaid and in secret. Hell, anyone standing on principle could never get the job in the first place, ever since Texas law requires a loyalty oath to Isreal.
It seems like she understands the situation perfectly, given that the state immediately backed her up. The law will not save you

Holy shit: Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors, who said that top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status. www.hcn.org/articles/fir...
No?? Why on earth would you say that?! Hard work diligence and adherence to principles (of any kind) is how you end up in debt!

SWG was such an beautiful mess
I'm not often in the mood for that genre but Olivia Rodrigo made more of an impression Then again that might be because she seems to be smuggling in some influences from genres I like more
She seems nice and I know I've heard some of her songs but damned if I can remember any

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
Not even a little bit tubular
Hal... You clearly mean well. But I suspect the internet is not good for you. Please consider taking a break. Maybe go for a walk or read a book instead
Democrats need to begin with the truth: "My opponents' intent is destruction of the public good and theft and murder of the people who live here, which poisons even the few facts they get right; therefore, there's no point in finding common ground; we should seek only to oppose and defeat them."
I hope one thing leftists all take away from Mamdani’s campaign though is that it doesn’t matter how chill and wholesome you are, the dinguses are going to smear and trash you in increasingly unhinged ways anyway, so you might as well shoot for the moon and campaign on what makes your heart sing
Hard to pick but right now I'll say Sam Rockwell in Moon. Almost a one man show but damn does he sell it
Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.
Ssssshh don't let In-n'-Out people ruin it
Close but no cigar: unacceptable at the tobacconist
I was so lucky to randomly catch this on release in the local art house theater before it closed down
Who decided they should be called "content creators" and not parasocialites
ONLINE LEFTIST: what if we tried to find a candidate that's good ONLINE LIBERAL: congratulations your attitude just killed us all. we're dead. hope you're happy. we could've just had trans people be dead but nooooo you and your purity tests put a gun to our heads and squeezed. enjoy the camps homo 🖕
Bluesky can still be accessed via Graysky for Mississippi users. Pass it on.
The entire POINT of fighting Nazis is to prevent them from attacking marginalized people. So forgive me if I'm not particularly convinced by folks who argue that we need to sacrifice marginalized people in order to fight Nazis.
This was like lancing a boil.
i think comparing vote blue no matter who type democrat stans to sport fans isn't especially apt because if a sports team's GM was always making the roster worse on purpose in an attempt to win over fans of their most bitter rival, that man would be killed
lgbt+ ppl were the second largest voting bloc for harris after Black ppl. you wanna throw that voting bloc in the trash so you can support a bigot like gavin newsom. a man that doesn't have a single hope in hell of ever becoming president of the united states. that's a choice YOU are making.
Aaaand she blocked me instead of doing any reading on the subject "It's not my job to educate you" once again proving to be a huge red flag
I will also listen to some dork ass hiphop, Deltron and RTJ and so on, but Aesop Rock is too annoying even for me
I love some swingy danceable jazz, almost anything with horns and some energy really, but THANK GOD the Postmodern Jukebox trend is over
To be fair though Cheez goo is pretty good
You can safely skip Infinite
No she didn't. Her example doesn't seem to apply at all, and she still doesn't seem to know what a general strike is either
...what? That's not what happened here. Betsy is correct and GenXer still doesn't know what a general strike is or how the "Velvet Revolution" went down
Classic Rock is rock music from the 60s/70s, not the 80s/90s. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I'm gonna play the shit outta Total War: Three Kingdoms some day and it's about half your fault
My contention about a hot civil war is that we have been living in one for decades at this point, I would say since 1982, but very slow moving. What do you think all those mass shootings are actually about? Look who is mostly perpetuating them (white males) and what they target (public institutions)

I don't like to push products on anybody other than Rancho Gordo beans but Defector is probably the best website there is and they're having an anniversary sale, if you really want to support alternative media and employee ownership now's your chance
Wait a minute. Aren't they forgetting that this is exactly what already happened when seat belt laws were introduced? People were still coming up with excuses when I was a kid
A great read on UChicago, arguing we’re seeing the result of decades of mismanagement: “The university’s trustees and leaders view it preeminently as a tax-free technology incubator, and its debt load is so great that it is abandoning ideals it once held dear in order to sustain that goal.”
Get real
Damn I don't generally pay attention to marketing terms but I would've figured that one was for the fungus based leather. How is it vegan when oil is dead animals?
Damn son you're like if Rorschach was right and not a fucked up psychopath who doesn't wash himself
JOYCE MESSIER - “Of bodies of water and forest-covered surfaces, clusters of light where the cities lie. You've seen the montage, we all have -- this world is enough,” she concludes. CONCEPTUALIZATION - It *must* be. This is the greatest and kindest arrangement the atoms had in them.
Tonight in Washington D.C. The sign reads: “The Bondi order is unlawful you are not obligated to follow it”
As DC was taken over by Trump’s secret police, where were congressional Democrats? They weren’t in DC and some weren’t even in the US. Instead of fighting back against the authoritarian takeover here at home, 22 House “Democrats” were being spoon-fed lies about Gaza on a trip paid for by AIPAC.
Today is my birthday! Could you, please, share my art, it is the best gift an artist can get 💖
it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous
Remember when some people got paid to do cool things
Just realized that despite seeing the name everywhere for twenty years I only know these guys from the meme And now the shitty antisoviet concert? Glad I never wasted my time finding out their deal
dont post abt your guns. dont post abt doing violence to feds. dont post abt doing violence to the administration. if you absolutely MUST ramble on belligerently abt these things do it the old fashioned way: at a loud bar with people you know and trust
What’s craaaazy to me is that a Minnesota state rep was ASSASSINATED and nothing even remotely close to this happened there
People are mad about our shitty political class and want everyone to stop giving them support. Seems good, we deserve better.
