I found a similar wallet (minus the drugs) in an airport. Guy had an AmEx card. I called AmEx and explained I found their customer’s wallet and ask them to call him and give him my contact info. His wife called me. I FedEx’ed the wallet to him and a week or so later I received a nice fruit basket.
Would you suggest the BlueSky developers dress in black, break into Mark Cuban’s house, steal the silver, and hock it for cash to pay for the servers?
I’m sure the courts will grant ChatGPT qualified immunity.

This is just awful. The American Experience on PBS is just one of the best things on TV. Because of the Evil One's attack on funding for public broadcasting, WGBH the public TV station in Boston laid off the staff that produces the show. NYT gift link www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/a...

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
I feel like a better headline would be “Lying Sack of Shit Wants to be Beloved by All People.”
Not listening to her anymore. The version of “I Will Survive” by @thebandcake.bsky.social is way better anyway. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9rC...
And it amounted to a sharp rebuke by ordinary citizens against the team of prosecutors who are dealing with the fallout from President Trump’s move to send National Guard troops and federal agents into the city on patrol.
The remarkable failure by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington was the second time in recent days that it was unable to persuade grand jurors to bring an indictment in a felony assault case against a federal agent.
YEAH. Grand Jury refuses to indict Sandwich Guy. Another embarrassing failure for US Attorney Jeanine Pirro. Who would have that a drunken Fox News host would be incompetent as a prosecutor?Now D)J should give him his job back. Gift link to NYT article: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...

Darth, I am just so greatful to be able to read your skeets, the greatest skeets ever skeeted, and I want to tell you, most sincerely, on behalf of every single American, that we are so happy that you are here, restoring Truth and Justice to BlueSky, and leading us, your devoted servants, to heaven.
Question for the mayor of bluesky @joshuajfriedman.com Is there a way to search within a feed? More specifically, in the Gift Links/Gift Articles feed, is there a way to search on keywords for a specific publication or a specific story? cc: @stooks.fm
Here's a link to thread on this story that includes gift links to the NYT and WaPo articles which have a lot of details. Even names the DOGE kid who was involved (It was BIG BALLS) bsky.app/profile/stmd...

I'm not sure. I'm not aware of a way to search inside of a feed. Also, looking at the feed now, it appears to only include original posts but not any replies. If that's true, then none of my "here's a gift link to the article your talking about" would show up.
Did you know there is a Gift Links/Gift Articles feed which supposedly captures all the posts with gift links. I don’t know how it works and my gift link posts don’t seem to show up, but it’s pretty useful.
I subscribe for work and you get 10 gift links a month. No reason not to share. I always get a thank you from people which these days is about all that keeps me going.

Especially like the high viz vests over the camouflage outfits, because those two things are like the opposite of each other. But also, morale must be great among the National Guard right now, huh?

You'd think the WaPo would be on top of a major DC story like this, but the NYT article has a lot more information on this massive data breach. Guess which DOGE member uploaded the data? BIG BALLS. Gift link to NYT www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...
It was big BIG BALLS who took the data! "Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old DOGE software engineer, was also involved in the project and would be given access to the server, other records show."
“I have determined the business need is higher than the security risk associated with this implementation and I accept all risks,” wrote Aram Moghaddassi, who worked at two of Mr. Musk’s companies, X and Neuralink, before becoming Social Security’s chief information officer, in a July 15 memo.
“Should bad actors gain access to this cloud environment, Americans may be susceptible to widespread identity theft, may lose vital health care and food benefits, and the gov't may be responsible for reissuing every American a new Social Security number at great cost,” Mr. Borges’s complaint said."
The career people said NO but DOGE did it anyway. "And his complaint cites an official agency security assessment that described the project as “high risk” and that warned of “catastrophic impact” to Social Security beneficiaries and programs if the database were to be compromised."
The whistleblower stated that “no verified audit or oversight mechanisms” existed to monitor what DOGE was using the data for or whether it was being shared outside the agency. That kind of oversight would typically be provided by the agency’s career information security professionals"
"The database contains records of all SSNs issued by the federal government. It includes individuals’ full names, addresses and birth dates, among other details that could be used to steal their identities, making it one of the nation’s most sensitive repositories of personal information."
The NYT article seems more alarmed about the massive data breach. Gift article www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...
"Also that month, retirees and unions brought a lawsuit over DOGE’s unauthorized access to personal data. A federal judge temporarily blocked DOGE from accessing SSA’s critical data in March, but in June, the Supreme Court cleared the way for DOGE to gain access to the data amid ongoing litigation."
"In February, the acting SSA commissioner at the time, Michelle King, left her job after a disagreement over DOGE’s attempts to gain access to sensitive records."
"The disclosure marks the latest escalation in an ongoing conflict over the safety of personal data since DOGE arrived at Social Security. For months, DOGE had sought access to records to search for evidence of widespread fraud in payments to millions of retirees and disabled people."
Whistleblower says DOGE kids uploaded Social Security data to an unapproved, unsecure digital cloud provider -- putting the personal information of more than 300 million people at risk. Washington Post Gift Link wapo.st/3VlquxY

It's so obvious. Beloved children's ballet The Nutcracker is really all about normalizing the castration of the American male. The Mice are all communist infiltrators. The Clintons planned it all.

What about World Liberty Financial? I think the government should take ownership of a big chunk of World Liberty Financial. After all, it wouldn’t be worth anything if the government hadn’t stopped all efforts to prevent crypto scams. We should get paid.
I noticed DOJ identified the defendant as “Sydney Lori Reid” but the NYT and local press identify her as “Sidney Lori Reid” - with an i instead of a y. Google searches support the i not the y. It appears not only can Pirro not get an indictment, she can’t spell the woman’s name correctly.
Are you telling me they didn’t think this through before they did it? Shocked I am, shocked.
Lately I’ve seen a lot of videos online of hooligans smashing car windows with crow bars and other weapons. I wish someone would lock those criminals up.
This is funny. youtube.com/shorts/KvCu9...
Who made this? 😂
I don’t think it is random.
Darth, I want you to know that the President sincerely thanks you for your attention to this matter.
I don’t believe this story for a second. Worrying about whether you’ve led a life that will get you into heaven requires some level of self-awareness, and Trump has no self-awareness.
"Democracy Dies in Obfuscation"
This is probably a picture of a Moravian Residential School in Labrador. The Canadian government took Inuit children from their families and sent them to these schools to be assimilated into white culture. The schools have a notorious history of abuse and neglect. www.arcticfocus.org/stories/long...
All of America is with you.
Great article that ties Trump’s attack on the Smithsonian to a long history of right-wing crackpot conspiracy theories about the museums. Did you know the Smithsonian is hiding proof of biblical claims that a race of white giants used to inhabit North America? We are a white, Christian nation.
Actually, I bet it’s pretty hard on most of the Park Police. They live in the area, know DC, and must realize this is complete & utter bullshit. People who go into law enforcement to be able to crack heads and play soldier don’t usually join the Park Police. Let’s hope they’re looking for new jobs.
It feels like WaPo should change the slogan in their banner to "Democracy Dies in Obfuscation"

It means she closes her eyes during orgies.
You are a whack job. Bitching about BlueSky being inappropriate for kids because they might see a photo YOU POSTED. Followed by 7 mentions of “ballsacks” in a half hour. I hope your state hasn’t taken away your Medicaid. You need professional help.
Dude, your mental illness is out of control. You should call your psychiatrist and ask for an emergency visit to get your meds adjusted.
Dude, you are the only person here infatuated with testicles. Posting pictures of them. Talking about them incessantly. Salivating over them. Projecting your desires for them on others. I wouldn’t care if my son was on BlueSky, but I sure as hell wouldn’t want you around him.
What a truly inane comment. Go away now...
It’s a perfectly valid comment. The fact that you are terrible at being a parent is not a reason for the state to violate the rights of everybody else.
The best part is that he searched for dirt on both his wife and his romantic partners. Got to treat ‘em equal.
8th Grade Earth Science with Mr. Gilbert. He was also the sponsor for the science club. He would take us on Saturday field trips. We’d ride for a couple of hours in the back of his pick up truck to get to a place to hunt for crinoid fossils or geodes.

Donald Trump raided the home of my UN ambassador as punishment for his public criticism. Out of respect for the presidency, I will say nothing and paint another picture of a dog. by George W. Bush
This sort of admission—the VP is involved in prosecutorial decisions, the "concerns" arise from political actors, and the administration knows they don't have probable cause—would have prompted the Founders to impeach everyone involved.
Interesting. So they would pay at least $400 for a fake article with links to their gambling website. I find it hard to believe that many people would read the fake article, let alone clink the link, let alone lose enough at the gambling site to justify the $400 investment.
“Where two or three are parked in my name, there am I among them".

Where can I buy a “Bolton was right about Trump” hat?
You should respond and say the fee is $1,000,000. That’s a $1,000,000 each from Rachel, Mia and Liam.
I saw another photo of him wearing a “Trump was right about everything” hat and assumed it was a photoshop. But here he is again. I’m not a psychiatrist, but I bet wearing a “I was right about everything” hat indicates you are a sociopath. Not that we need another indicator to diagnose this guy.
Trump can’t possibly walk even a couple of blocks. If you are in DC tonight and see a group of fat white guys decked out in Soldier of Fortune outfits who are accompanied by a golf cart — RUN.
According to this story, DOJ will investigate people who burn the flag and then try to prosecute them for something else because burning the flag is protected activity. www.cnn.com/2025/08/21/p...

Actually I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States with my hand on @bpl.boston.gov’s 1782 edition Aitken Bible—also known as the Bible of the Revolution.
GAO on the Antideficiency Act. The act prohibits federal employees “accepting voluntary services for the United States, or employing personal services not authorized by law, except in cases of emergency involving the safety of human life or the protection of property. 31 U.S.C. § 1342.”
Federal agencies are not allowed to accept free goods and services from private entities. It is considered an augmentation of their appropriation and is illegal. Is there any provision of appropriations law that Trump won’t violate?
At the $250 bribe level, you get upgraded to a Manila envelope.
People on Twitter posted racist memes after the CDC shooting and Musk’s Grok posted its appreciation.

So the plan is to arrest a bunch of angry drunk dudes, charge them with ridiculous felonies, and claim you’ve restored law and order to the city. No murderers, rapists, drug dealers, or burglars removed from the streets, but law and order is restored.
Jaywalkers beware. Trump has placed snipers with rifles mounted on tripods atop Union Station in Washington DC.
