Zohran Mamdani on Andrew Cuomo’s affection for Benjamin Netanyahu @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
And so help me, if you tell me Ronnie Reagan did it, I will remind you that that man had a very fuzzy idea of every law he ever encountered.
Also why these folks ABSOLUTELY hate it when you explain GenAI in terms the average person can understand it. Because for one thing, many are convinced that it's so high tech it can't be easily explained, and for another? Well. This. Can't have people understanding it!
And yet people keeps telling me to stop censoring my words because it’s not Twitter 🤷♀️ Bad news, it’s Twitter light and it’s not a safe platform, it a racist one :>
So Texas is going to invade Illinois
Heard on ABC News Radio Australia. Putin calling for a new world order. Meaning. He wants to go to the bad old days of the cold war. And with Moscow and Beijing as the major powers. To compete Against Amerika and the West.
Introverts don’t recharge with sleep, we recharge by being left completely alone for 3–5 business days
i kinda dgaf about the relatability of music like let me jam to a song about how my boyfriend sucks as a happily married lesbian
Life is a lot more creative than dystopian sci-fi, it turns out.
*a Second Amendment violation, I can English, honest.
Federalizing a state force is prima facie Second Amendment violation. The several states' right to keep & bear arms should not be infringed by a tyrant in D.C. This is one of those, "plant yourself like a tree & say No," moments. @jbpritzker.bsky.social @kwameraoul.bsky.social
A shame that such a hell of a lot of the US news media are literally Nazis, are supported by advertising from literal Nazis, or come from the British Empire and are trying to continue a centuries-old war against Spain & the Spanish.
Pritzker: "Unidentifiable agents in unmarked vehicles with masks are planning to raid Latino communities and say they're targeting violent criminals."
We are in dire need of mutiny. Can the top generals rein this shit in, maybe arrest Trump?
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Hot take: The Lord's Prayer is a lot more pro-social than most of what these people want in schools. On the other hand: I anticipate fights between the "forgive us our trespasses," & "forgive us our debts," factions.
vast majority of things currently requiring parental consent are things that the youth should either be liberated from requiring consent for (name changes, abortions, HRT, haircuts) or things that should be unilaterally forbidden (child marriages, signing NDAs on their behalf, TBI-heavy sports)
internet archival is one of those things i feel like should be a lot more pressing of an issue than it is, you can see it in microcosm with every piece of media that's somewhat unpopular/obscure and over 10 years old
That is fair.
they want you to believe this is a free country when they don't even let you buy soda syrup directly from the 7/11 bib machine
People on here will tweet anything. 'Hillary Clinton had slaves.' Yes she did. That is true.
Of course an 👏🏽establishment 👏🏽 woman, who understands what a coalition is, is the voice of reason against these lads.
I see here a lot of Hebrews & Desis who think they're on the Left because they're ethnic. Model minority useful idiots.
How do I politely say, "Hey, maybe people with immigrant backgrounds are reticent to interact with law enforcement right now."
Dem candidates: let’s fight fascism! Dems in office: let’s appease, compromise with, cater to fascists. Dem voters aren’t calling for “common ground.” electorate doesn’t want bipartisanship; they want the things Dem politicians >claim< to value in campaign promises. The bait and switch is BRUTAL.
🤔
Yes. AI is basically making us pay thievery based machinery owners the privilege of their upkeep and our demise. In so many ways.
We all know the story of Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods, but we never hear about Amateurmetheus, who stole license plates from car parks.
We ought to think about the utility of "antiwokism" as a term. Like "antisemitism", it captures the idea of a set of prejudices being inflicted on people because of a mythology about their collective identity. Just as "semitism" isn't a real thing, neither is "wokism". But antiwokism is real.
🤔
Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?
It's funny I remembered where I put it at 10PM AFTER Labor Day is mostly over, but after having lost if for several years, I finally found the diverse fish graphic I made in 2018. It always bothering me that the school of fish was the same type. That erases the modern, diverse labor movement.
My choices are being influenced by who is liking the OP now. Social conscience stuff. 🤔... Well, do I want to do another Oils song, though? You know, I wasn't even thinking of this John Lennon song, but then I recalled Tin Machine covering it. I love Reeves Gabrels's guitar. "Working Class Hero"
Tech platforms to be responsible for preventing access to ‘abhorrent technologies’ under reforms announced by Canberra.
It’s my birthday! 🎉 May I be so bold as to ask to share my art? Below I’m going to drop some links (ko-fi tip jar, portrait commissions, contact for freelance) as all kinds of support are incredibly appreciated in these trying times! 💖
Ahmed lost his account but he needs to evacuate from the north
I'm chiitan☺️Japanese crazy mascot.
A good reminder to artists that although GenAI can certainly give the polish and speed. The story and care behind the creation of art will always make sure Human-made works will still prevail.
🤔
A rock band with no bass is for real
This is how "tight" and "snappy" comic book writing is produced
Trying to reach a basic income goal. This is my sole source of income as a disabled person who can't work a "real job." Please share my shop, buy something if it catches your eye, or send tips! ko-fi.com/crippledcomm... C: $FallonBinns V: fallon-binns
This is the same kind of logic that blames Black people and other marginalized races for health issues that are caused by things like overwork, food deserts, and neighborhood pollution such as the type caused by careless factories.

Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
Did Lauren do this
Although I know it to be true, this Katrina doc is further proof that Black people do in fact stick together and help each other. We are the real neighbors. If not for us we wouldn’t make it. General Honore’ said that very thing. Most people were rescued by their neighbors #HurricaneKatrina
This Labor Day, remember that Black Americans are the most overworked and underpaid group.
honestly insane how reporters have kept going "well but crime down so isn't this a good thing" about the take over of DC, dawg the reason why crime has collapsed is the same reason why restaurants are in freefall, because no one is outside because of all the goddamn goons
It's kind of funny that RFK Jr. wants to "protect" us from vaccines while also wanting to install someone in the CDC whose entire ethos is let drugs onto the market and if people who take it and start dying start complaining pull the drug.
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
Hognoses?
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but stop letting social media dictate your happiness. People are going to judge you regardless of what you choose to do with your own life. As long as you’re not hurting nobody, do what makes you happy.
Today's reminder that they're getting rid of sideloading so you can't install versions of apps that rip this dogshit out
One thing that the backlash to COVID has taught me is that nobody understands how risk works. The bars opened before the schools because going to a bar is an opt-in activity and going to school is required, not to mention schools being a place where germs are passed around all the time.
If we’re doing another round of “this website will die without me” remember that scientists, i.e. people that actually know things are all coming here. If the choice is between them and column guys, people who know nothing but are good at being annoying, it’s a pretty easy pick
Economic historians are now waiting for the inevitable crash & post-collapse political revolution. Politically minded people should be setting up for a revolution that's not just a reactionary autogolpe. And if you're a business guy, for your own sake, stay ALL THE WAY away from AI.
at no point did we defund the police. it's important when we talk about defunding the police to note it never actually happened. would it work? we don't know! but merely phrasing the idea succinctly incited a reactionary backlash that put fascists in charge of all 3 branches of government. curious!
when you come right out with "the Left got too extreme in 2020"... that is a YOU problem, bro
Spoken like someone who has never had his dog shot by a cop.
If Canada and other high income countries are to help the world rebuild from the American destruction of science and public health, we need to first focus on protecting our democracies from the far-right. We need to get serious about the growing extremist movements inside our countries, now.
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
That would imply we're trying to conform and agree with each other. I think it's more likely that we're a bunch of wounded people with *different* axes to grind, desperately trying to get each other to listen. And you're not listening here, William.
I have the utmost respect for any politician who looks at themselves and goes "holy shit, Jesus fuck, I'm old"
Nadler has seemed more sane than the other high-profile Congressional figures for a while.
those dorks thought they were cooking with "let's go brandon." much funnier when crowds across america start unified chants of "Die! Die! Die! Die!"
The flaw in everyone who makes a Bluesky bad post is that they come to the conclusion that making the site better involves importing people with centrist politics to talk politics when the actual truthful answer is that we need less politics and more goofs but that’s difficult when the world sucks
I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.
UBI was never going to be something that just happened. That's why I've been putting so much effort into helping to make it happen for the past 12 years. This is a fight we must win. We must organize and mobilize around this effort, just as MLK Jr. was starting to do when he was assassinated.
public owned and public operated under an American Health Service too
if we pick candidates with strong policies in defense of trans people who ALSO have great policies in support of whatever your thing is - housing, the economy, immigration, defense spending, healthcare (all of which affect trans people!) - then there’s no reason for trans rights to cost them voters!
at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.
It is just wild to me that the largest facility used during Japanese internment will now be used to intern immigrants from ICE raids, people who are disappeared by masked officers off the streets, and there is still a debate about whether naming and shaming those doing it is fair.
There are just under 12 hours left to vote in this year's Tiny Awards! Small, fun, beautiful and occasionally-pointless websites, and a pleasing rebuttal to anyone who thinks everything online is rubbish in 2025: tinyawards.net/vote/
happy labor day
OK, fine, fine.
I am in fact that old 😸
British food is kebab; soda biscuits; a keen awareness of semantic difference between chips, fries, & crisps; several entirely different things called pudding; 👏🏽Full 👏🏽English 👏🏽Breakfast; an unholy reliance on potato & cucumber; and a whole lot of beige mercifully broken up by the humble love apple🍅.
*Italian-American, like spaghetti & meatballs, of course.
Pepperoni, as in the sausage, is American. But the word "pepperoni" refers to peppers in Italy, so I guess that's confusing.
I don't know, lad, it's Glasgow. Are you sure that isn't actually part of Kentucky?
I think we're fucked in the UK ngl. Cis people please wake up and listen to us! They are installing trans eliminationists into the echelons of institutional powers but apparently it's the 'trans lobby' that have secret powerful influence.
In one version of Civ, you cant build Mt. Rushmore until you discover Fascism… I found this very instructive!
🤔
It’s not who promises to be good but who is really good at all times
We are so sick of this… In what world is a ‘double-tap’ a mishap?
❗️The plane Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu was on was forced to land in Bulgaria due to suspected Russian GPS interference -FT There are reports that the pilots even had to use paper maps due to GPS jamming as they made the emergency landing.
It's my Birthday today!💫🎉 Can I ask for a customary share of my art? ✨ Big Announcement: I thought about it very hard, and finally decided to open a crowdfunding to help me out with my Top Surgery. Keep an eye out for later this year, I'd be very grateful for all the help I can get 🥹 Love you all 💙
Israel has slaughtered 98 people in the last 24 hours in Gaza www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li...

"North Britain," which is actually Scotland
They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
prestigious art schools adding courses on genAI, on top of being ethically & artistically garbage, is such a giant fuck you to their former students
Gambling is wayyy too accessible
Liberals getting excited about Gavin Newsome feels like a person who keeps settling for shitty boyfriends. Like girl, you can do better for yourself - stop thinking you can’t do better. There is a guy out there for you. Look, your bestie New York City found a great guy and she’s had so many bad exs.
It's not "creeping" fascism when it gives up all pretense of stealth.
I called my pharmacy to see what was going on with the Covid Vax. They have no idea due to the CDC bullshit. The pharmacy was friendly, helpful and helpless. Fuck RFKjr.
