reminder that something like 232,000 (per a peer reviewed study) of the US Covid deaths were Delta-wave vaccine refusers. These dupes were sacrificial pawns the conservative movement weaponized in order to sustain the pandemic and try to damage the Biden economy in 2021:
this is about sinners. hbo has a black american sign language version of sinners. i feel like i know a lot of people who will be excited to learn this.
Apologies that my editor made me remove an aside about his wife leaving him over his posts
Maybe I'll run for president of the west coast in a couple years
my bipartisan solution is to let them share a cell
will never forget years ago when Slack was a new thing, I more or less asked in the general channel “do you guys think we should have transparency with salaries?” and all hell broke loose for DAYS. my finest work
1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat. Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable. Read expert analysis by @bcfinucane.bsky.social⤵️
Allowing diseases like measles to run rampant through your population rather notoriously doesn't just kill "the medically fragile", we've just all forgotten all the previously quite healthy infants and children who died.
We won!! “Defendants used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country’s premier universities … Their actions have jeopardized decades of research and the welfare of all those who could stand to benefit from that research.”
Anyway I would have started kindergarten in fall of 1981. Public health measures we take for granted really haven't been around long at all.
Then I find out today that Florida has banned the practice of fluoridating water supplies and I guess we'll find out if the existing toothpastes are enough. They've turned themselves into a giant lab rat.
Back when I was in kindergarten they brought around little cups of fluoride mouthwash for us every single day. And I'm thinking about how I'm probably one of the last cohorts that did that because shortly after they fluoridated the water in town we stopped getting the daily fluoride rinse.
On a recent walk, I saw a clearly AI-generated logo, that new "comics style" they have for a dog groomer on the back of a truck and… yeah. The piss color wash is like the new AI sepia tone for everything.
discord just alerted us to this. good job, internet. google knows what the Horny Dragon Book is. 🤣
i clicked thinking i was about to read about the ethical perils of surrogacy and instead spent 30 horrified minutes learning why silicon valley needs to die
Linnehan: you should commit violence against trans women. U.K: dude, we have laws against fomenting violence like that. Ro fucking Khanna: censoring Linnehan’s explicit call for bigoted violence is basically the same as when the UK persecuted Oscar Wilde for being gay
It's important you know that the neoconfederates currently using the federal government to militarily invade liberal states and cities with heavy Black populations only cherish and value the Confederacy because of their valiant stance in defense of states' rights.
First will be the livestreamed gender reveal party followed by the livestreamed burial 6-7 years later. Seven years of content is a good run for a kid. The Duggar approach keeps a steady supply of fresh material - like when sitcoms would throw in a new kid around the third or fourth season.
Artisanal shrouds, home burials in the garden so the body can nourish the home-grown veggies. Homemade sourdough breads and cakes with fresh-laid eggs from their coop at the wake. Every gun in the father's possession will be brought out for a 75 gun salute as little Dakota is laid in the ground.
High child mortality rate also lets trad parents enjoy the kid while they're young and obedient but gets them in the ground before they get old enough to want blue hair and pronouns.
we didn't ask you assholes for anything be abuse we know you selfish narcissistic cunts would never give us anything, but even simply existing on the margins was such a problem for you that you decided killing us was more important than building a thriving, free, and equitable society.
Liberals are starting to say shit like, "trans people asked for too much too fast," and I'll remind your souless asses that we actually didn't ask for anything. we were minding our own business and quietly improving our healthcare and you (cis) decided to do a pogrom against us for no reason.
This is very much extremely the thing. "You stupid SHEEP! There's no invisible MAN on a MOUNTAIN!" "No shit, Sherlock." "And no Magic SkyDaddy is gonna just FIX things if you pray hard enough!!" "That's correct." "And people don't get sick because they were bad!!" "Did... you think they did??"
once again I am asking people to correctly answer the question "who was President in 2020"
I know I say this almost every day but I truly, truly do not understand the authoritarian personality. I genuinely can not imagine acting like a sniveling apparatchik like this in public and then looking at myself in the mirror at night. What goes on in their heads? Why are they like this?

I'll go back to examining the state of my soul when this hay has been secured where goats can't eat it out of turn.
Elul is both restorative and rough. I am taking refuge in a bunch of physical labor and mildly lamenting that Judaism does not believe in the soul-purifying virtues of eg stacking a quarter ton of hay by hand. No, you still have to conduct a ruthless and searching moral inventory.
The surgeon general of the state, that's who!!
This is laying me out. Do none of these wankers do any basic research. bsky.app/profile/elsi...
Okay, you can get a signed copy of my Wedgeford trilogy through this auction.
Jesus fucking christ i am exhausted of people who refuse to take even 1 class that would introduce them to ideas like the social construction of rules, laws, tech, & definitions of "crime," & who continually learn the wrong lessons from every science fiction story they ever meet. I mean holy shit.
Oh let's be clear he did not fetch the phone, he gently chewed and hugely slobbered all over the phone
Hey, the Unbound for Gaza fundraiser is here, starting September 25th. www.32auctions.com/unboundforga... The auction raises money for charities operating in Gaza. There are a LOT of super-cool items, many of which would be AMAZING holiday gifts for book nerds.
I still use the ones that are a hard case with a separate rubbery bit and they hold up the same as they always have to livestock. Gotta pair with a good screen protector
Let's be clear that by "the future" I mean "the next five years if I'm lucky"
...I am so creeped out yet intrigued
Big Yan, bless his gloriously empty head, was super excited that Boss Lady left him a toy and Boss Lady learned why I am committed to using Otter Box phone cases
Um...as the old saying goes, when you want to convince people you aren't being Weekend At Bernie's, you open your press conference with serious unexplained technical glitches.
I think it's more the remoteness of communication emboldening people to be their worst selves, we have decades of research showing online abuse goes up, not down, when people use their real names. You get the least abuse when people use persistent pseudonyms.
No matter what, I hope he takes questions. There's a pool reporter wondering if they can push a button big enough to become a legend.
Honestly, this is a not inconsiderable reason people don't like Dems/libs. It's impossible to respect anyone that is this cringingly servile.
Unsurprising, but still total clown shit
If Trump seems basically "alright" by Trump standards today a lot of people are gonna pop in here to scold everyone for the crime of having pretended for several days that the most evil man on the planet was on death's door. When you put it that way, the scolding sounds silly, doesn't it?
Hmm maybe I'm getting @akivamcohen.bsky.social's nightmares and he's getting mine
Go to the corner and think about what you've done
2D animation is booming in theaters. In China, the film Nobody is outgrossing many of Hollywood's recent CG films—on a $10< million budget. It's only one example. As 2D films rise, Hollywood's decision to kill them off looks shortsighted. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-hand-d...
did you dream of scrapie or perhaps meningeal worm

since 2005, our involvement in Ohio EPA's Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program (WRRSP) has helped preserve thousands of natural acres like bogs and wetlands and *hundreds of thousands* of feet of streams. this Upper Cuyahoga Bog Preserve accounts for 508 protected acres and 8000 ft of stream.

#BREAKING: Judge Breyer has held that the Trump admin. *violated* the Posse Comitatus Act in its military deployments in and around Los Angeles, and has enjoined further use of those troops for law enforcement tasks. The order is stayed through 12 PDT on 9/12: georgetown.app.box.com/file/1973361...
Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
Boozy it wasn't even an INTERESTING nightmare
If I were chatgpt I would have just invented the laws and cases
They're fine as far as I know, I'm not going out to check at 0400, it will just rile them up
I can only hope that somewhere out there a lawyer is having terrible and incomprehensible nightmares about scrapie, or there is no justice in the universe
I have just awoken from a terrible dream in which I was employed at a law firm writing legal briefs and I submitted two without citing any actual laws or cases. WHY AM I HAVING SOME LAWYER OR PARALEGAL'S NIGHTMARES
i have honestly never seen someone flying a manx flag but i would assume that they're either manx or a vexillology nerd
The difference between the text of the post and the headline of the article below it is staggering

You've heard about blood diamonds, now introducing Cum Diamonds. Each of our diamonds is made by compressing cum under unimaginable pressure and heat into a sparkling jewel. Cum diamonds: because you know we had to see what'd happen if we put it in the machine
He's tall for a QH but I'm betting at least "mostly QH" looking at his butt. Supposedly out of Nevada but his brand doesn't pop up on their brand search. Looks like a "Rolling M Connected 1" or possibly I
Yeah somewhere in there judging by where his withers hit on my 5'8" self
Yeah he's for sure done roping, although I have not. He's just not a harness horse. Also we're all old and low speed here except the sheep.
I like this guy.
NEW: The world’s largest professional organization of scholars studying genocide just voted overwhelmingly in support of a resolution declaring that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. apnews.com/article/geno...
This is a country living in terror of a non-existent crime wave, getting rid of vaccines which saved millions of lives, and indulging in economic policies which we saw fail 100 years ago. It's a deeply disordered place.
Mid cycle gerrymander when they drew the original maps. Every article should have that front and center.
Weirdly I get to be a sheepman, only cowboys exist in a Neverland of perpetual childhood

Anyway, my friends at Bluesky proper should start marketing this place with these kinds of quotes. It makes this website seem like the fucking Thunderdome when in reality it's a place where I post pictures of Viscous Brown Food-Like Substance On A Plate solely to unnerve people.
Sleep deprivation is a form of prophecy. ‘Terfidious Albion’ just sprang forth from my addled brain, specially for you
"if the left didn't believe in anything, didn't fight for anything, had no moral center and was never strident about it, they'd win a lot more often" yeah, man, i guess that's true. centrists whose only ambition is to take money from donors to create public-private partnerships do win more.
as far as I can tell, toddler parenting is essentially an elaborate escape room where your captor is a small, rabid monkey with verbal language skills, and they win if they drive you mad enough that you also begin behaving like a small, rabid monkey
compound toddler has a friend over MOM: what are you guys doing? TODDLER: (delightedly) we’re hurting each other!!!
Please stop wish-casting physical illnesses for your political opponents. It was gross when people did it to Clinton in 2016, and it’s gross now.
it’s “shut up and play ball” but for every affected minority group
everyone who is treating unblur like science really needs to look at "white unblurred obama" again
Many local archives have sewing patterns in the collection. The first items I arranged when I became an archivist were sewing patterns from the early 20th century.
Okay, we don't gotta be dishonest about how we talk about men and height now lol We literally spent the summer laughing at a man for being an asshole while being short. Yes, height is a physical attribute that makes a difference for men
If you squint, you can see Death standing over his shoulder tapping his watch and looking very impatient with the whole situation. Just like the rest of us.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.
He's been here three days and his attitude is "y'all are weird hippies and I... I think I like this??? You enforce rules fairly and never push me past what I can handle???"
He is a former ranch horse, purchased for an 8 year old who then decided to do football instead of rodeo roping. He's been sitting for a year, is a big soft puppy dog who just wants attention and cannot believe that I'm not gonna yell and force him to do things.
Possibly? He is not trained to pull things though, he is a saddle horse
Yeah I'm sure there are some class action suits that do not end up being absolute shit for the majority of the class of plaintiffs but
Anyway his name is Major, he is 20, he is here to help me and Beamer work sheep on our larger acreage without upsetting the sheep like the atv does. ATV is for speed. Major is for safely moving sheep.
Every Labor Day I remember that the holiday was moved from May 1 to September not only for the Haymarket attacks but to break up the possibility between the US and the international labor movement (which celebrates in May). And it worked!
Class action suit against Walmart for gendered pay discrimination. I had worked for them and was covered by the class (was a woman then). I got $100ish from the settlement. The problem is that given the average pay gap cited and the length of time I'd worked there, I should have gotten THOUSANDS
This is frankly true of the majority of class action settlements, where the vast majority of class members get fuck all in compensation. ASK ME ABOUT THE WALMART GENDERED PAY DISCRIMINATION SUIT
One way to help farmworkers is to make a donation to @ufw.bsky.social ufw.org/sparechange/
Thread. Frankly every time you call your political opponents too stupid to breed, devalue them as humans based on perceived physical characteristics, or say there should be tests for voting, you are advocating for eugenicist policies and should fuck off.
