There's also no Manchester Pusher or Smiley Face killer.
Back in my day, when the government blew a bunch of innocent people up, whistleblowers had to go to jail to show us what happened.... Now the President just, tweets it out.
Yeah this is all so very very fucked up. And illegal.
this is the first time a major Democratic elected has actually told his supporters what they can do in the face of this as far as I can tell
People on here will tweet anything. 'Hillary Clinton had slaves.' Yes she did. That is true.
today, pritzker became governor of California
Notice that Gov. Pritzker is calling out what @radleybalko.bsky.social has emphasized: Trump is *barely even bothering* to manufacture fake crises to use as pretexts to send troops into cities. It's just repression for the hell of it
So, uhh, can out-of-staters volunteer for the Great Khan's Guard?
The Ent Liberation Front is going to be lit.
On that note, a teaser of a recent thrift store find... 70s or earlier Sears Craftsman tool box. It was at the register, I said to myself if it's $30 or less I'll buy it... Then I picked it up and it was heavy.
When the tools gods bless you, it is a good day.
I guess, technically nickels are even cheaper than dogtag blanks.... Lol.
Make some hobo nickels!
They happen, sometimes.
Dogtag blanks seem like a good, cheap option for scrap material to try it out on. You can get 100 for like a Tubman.
This is your regular reminder that if you are developing an app that is supposed to help a vulnerable population, you need to do it WITH CONSIDERABLE INPUT FROM THE PEOPLE YOU ARE TRYING TO PROTECT. micahflee.com/unfortunatel...
And/or elide valid criticisms of the cinematic whitewashing of the overall Africanness of Egypt, a civilisation that lasted for thousands of years.
"but most people wouldn’t argue Greek people aren’t white" Relatively recent human history would beg to differ. The broader issue is the "white-ness", though that is anachronistic for the historical period, of the Ptolemys is often used to push white nationalist perspectives....
Hip hop is 52 years old. At a back-to-school party in the Bronx in 1973, Jamaican-American deejay Kool Herc introduced the technique of playing the same album on two turntables and extending the drum section, which became known as the breakbeat. 🧵⬇️
Read this in the voice of the lead singer of Propaghandi.
Hozier is just Florence and the Machine for bisexuals, which makes sense because Florence and the Machine is just Hozier for bisexuals.
One thing that's really reassuring about SCOTUS is how their actual, real, serious, genuine position on ethics is "we are not bound by any mortal law nor any code or creed, this is our world, you merely live in it."
Okay hang on. As usual Rowling is saying the quiet part out loud not just for the UK but for the US. There’s a bunch of people that demand solidarity from trans folks yet continue to treat the idea of trans rights as a “luxury belief.”
Great backstory, even better music. There are a couple of hours' worth of Vicente Lusitano's music on Spotify (and probably elsewhere, and hopefully more in the near future), and if you're into Renaissance polyphony or just music to sober and quiet the mind, you ought to check it out.
People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.
So in other words, no, this guy wasn't "basically real" at all.
How fucking stupid are you?
"enhanced image, wut dis?" Dunno, Chris, suicide enabling, cult forming, environment destroying, plagiarism & delusion bot you asked to "enhance" the image didn't know either, so its guess is as good as yours. Damn, everyone thinks they're csi now we taught a magic eight ball to draw.
The difference between the text of the post and the headline of the article below it is staggering
yes. tasting fabrics is one of the easiest ways to test fiber composition. natural fabrics, such as wool, cotton, and linen, breakdown in the digestive tract. synthetics such as polyester will not. so to test fiber composition, eat the garment. if fibers appear in your poop, it was synthetic.
Obviously because I want that to be the case I am shoehorning every new piece of information into a "Trump is dead" framework but that is my prerogative as an internet user
I hate everything about the current moment in time except for the fact that everything the White House posts to convince us Trump is alive makes him seem more extremely dead
If you can't piece that together from the publicly available evidence, how the hell were you a federal prosecutor and how many of your convictions should be overturned?
i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat
You can’t even take your kids to a Toy Story film anymore, says the creator of B*tches Ain’t Sh*t.
That looks great already.
Noice.

This is how you handle someone who tries to sell AI slop at a con: remove them, and then clown on them relentlessly

Hi did you move your newsletter away from substack? drop it in the replies so people can find you and subscribe! I am big on rewarding good choices
this isn't an exaggeration either, gavin newsom said "my son is a huge fan" to charlie kirk, who is an actual fascist, a real white nationalist
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.

*acting gay on the ferry to nantucket* mr quee-queg, quee-queg, get these mutts away from me, you know, i don't find this stuff amusing anymore if you would be my bodyguard, i can be your long lost pal i can call you husband, and husband, when you call me, you can call me "el" <3
not only are these people foolish and cruel, they are blatantly misreading my favorite books.
motherfucker i read the classical political rationalist tradition and it leads me to hate you
i wish brands would include more technical information in their product descriptions. i don't need to know this was inspired by timeless italian men summering in nantucket who could dress up or down. i want to know the fabric weight, leather tanning method, seam construction, etc.
Dick Grayson debuted as Robin in April 1940, became Nightwing July 1984, so June 2028 will mark the dickquinox, the exact point he was Robin and Nightwing for the same amount of time.
Not enough people realize that Merrick Garland let an entire network of White Power groups that literally built Timothy McVeigh's bomb off the hook because he had the one guy that was easy to convict because he admitted to the bombing. They are still out there plotting. Garland made sure of that.
Wait til we start the second luddite jihad against all clankers.

Ruin a movie by making it about Gary. Aliens vs. Gary (3 minute directors cut with all cut footage added back, up from the original 21 second run time.)
Ruin a movie by making it about Gary. There's Something About Gary
I’ll say it again: Mamdani’s grave sin as far as the media is concerned is that he is clearly having a good time. Only right-wing “firebrands” are allowed to have a good time because they’re REBELS against the NAGS and SHREWS in the Democratic party who are like TOTAL BUZZKILLS
Weird, because literally all my life the St George’s Cross has been almost totally associated with far right racists, homophobes, thugs and football hooligans - a group apparently that now includes the Labour Party.
As is always the case with conservatives, Collective Shout goes full mask off and explains nothing they do is about legality, they’re just attacking things They Don’t Like so You Can’t Have Them In a way they’re describing WHY you can never give them an inch, ever. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

(guy who's about to invent fermentation) nah i bet it's still good
People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.
I can’t find the lie in this.
Baking is a revolutionary act.
Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers. In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?
I don't argue with bsky accounts that John Brown would have permabanned.
🤣🤣🤣
Spent the day driving around Manchester, New Hampshire, a city for 80-something New Yorkers in deep debt apparently. I was driving alone, something I’m known to do. I saw a woman fleeing domestic violence. I “rendered aid,” vaguely. Minutes or maybe an hour later I was walloped by a Mack truck.
"The Republican Party wants to pull YOUR teenage daughter's pants down in the middle of gym class if they think she's too good at lacrosse, this is vile and depraved and only the start of their intrusive government overreach" should be the party line and I don't think it's a heavy lift
If you're willing to throw the trans population to the wolves you're willing to throw every other group that's not you to the wolves too, they just aren't howling loudly enough for them yet.
"So if I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists"
"If you tolerate this, then *your* children will be next."
"I watched Snow White when I was a kid and I ain't gave a bitch a poison apple yet." is an all time bar
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
This would be a clear violation of the US’s obligations as host country under the UN Headquarters Agreement.
I gotta say: This feels like a planned thing.
here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road
Video appeals 46-year-old conviction for killing The Radio Star, argues that The Radio Star is alive and well and living under assumed name of The Podcaster.
I am reminded of my middle school history teacher, who brought up CNN on the big screen...the morning of 9/11. We watched that morning, and then he rewrote his lesson plan for the rest of the year to teach a bunch of kids who'd never heard of Afghanistan before that day what was going on and why.
