Thank you on this labor day!!
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
Anyone want to put some money down on whether he had a stroke or a heart attack and they are just showing us enough… like, they are being ridiculously timid with someone who will take any chance to get on camera. Maybe IT didn’t happen but somethings going on. His brain is turning into tapioca.
Post a meme made by you
You know who benefits most from antivaccine conspiracy theories as national health policy? Our enemies.
when president garfield was dying, they shoved a bunch of stuff up his butt in the hopes it would save him. it didn't work, in fact it definitely killed him quicker. but if any white house guys are reading this: you're the chosen one, you can make it work
Queuing this up just in case.
Oh, damn. That’s good.
I don’t know if he’s dead but I imagine Melania would be dancing and doing cart wheels on 5th avenue.
Also Wes Studi, Edie Izzard, Greg Kinnear, Tom Waits, and Geoffrey Rush as Casanova Frankenstein. So much star power.
Yeah I kinda had to swear off that show. There was a similar one in Britain.
Can we maybe try and talk to Wachowskis into taking a crack at a Jem and the Holograms movie? The 2015 one tried to be “realistic,“ and that is ridiculous. Jem needs the Speed Racer treatment.
I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.
Yup! Fascism specifically divides allies. As they eliminate allies, a new target is chosen and they peel off allies until there is no one to oppose them. They wrote a whole poem about and everything.
There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.
Does this guy ever tire of being the worst opinion in news.
Hey, I have had some questions about who is allowed to file. Here is the class certification:
Sigh. I love this dog but Christ.
“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” ~Ray Bradbury Keep reading, friends. 📚
Its obvious. The GOP is militarily invading Blue strongholds to minimize Blue turnout in midterms. It's not about crime, immigration, or public safety and saying 'it's just a distraction' takes away from its evil intent. Please RP. @repbonamici.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov
Japan has just opened its first osmotic power plant 🌊⚡ This works by mixing fresh & salt water across a membrane, creating pressure that drives a turbine to make electricity. This site will generate 880,000 kWh a year...while helping run a desalination plant providing fresh water to the city 👏
Oh, hey, that’s in two weeks…
She does own that fleet of cargo container ships that she leaves idling during load…
The President of our United States is shaking companies down for protection money and not much of a peep about it from mainstream media.
if you're not from or have never been to new york i cannot stress enough how normal the subway is 99% of the time. kids take it to school. everyone is basically chill. you learn to be in proximity with harmless weirdos or minor irritations pretty quick. for all its issues it's an incredible thing
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
Hard same. Babylon 5 has been on the back burner for that reason.
How very McCarthy era.
Martin Luther King Jr once said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” While that is reassuring, I think the United States is currently testing the tensile strength of that arc with all the injustice, hatred, and corruption it is piling on.
She’s got a few of these. They are pretty good.
They pay for people to understand and handle those things!
I actually saw some of these logistics and I can’t speak with authority on anything logistical. I have opinions but those aren’t worth a lick when the numbers come back or when I know nothing capacities, etc.
"In what way is talking about something that happened 160(Which, sure, end of chattel slavery but we didn't have integration until 60 years ago; a fact a 63 year old would probably remember to some extent) years ago and still has repercussions today, in fact, harming you as a 63 year old."
Worth a read
Windows 11 users! Security update KB5063878, released on August 12, may cause SSDs to quit working after large file writes. Some SSDs may be permanently destroyed. www.tomshardware.com/pc-component...
JK Rowling is ON RECORD saying she will use any continued profits she earns from the Harry Potter franchise or anything else she makes to fund her rampant anti-trans bigotry. She is telling us all in bold print that she's the bad guy. She celebrates harming children. Find other stories.
Just saw someone unironically recommending to check TikTok for instructions on how to do something and no, I will not be doing that. YouTube is bad enough. Bring back written instructions!
He did get into our federal filing system and who knows what else
Sundown towns aren’t news or novel
Agreed. Also for things that use their well placed kindness against them. Propaganda works, even when you believe yourself to be too smart or wise to fall for it.
Pixel Remasters are complete.
The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize. “What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”
Facts are facts.
Like trumps legitimately thinking of doing a communism with intel so he can control the means of production.
That kerning is going to give me nightmares
Hi! Your friendly neighborhood natsec professional here. And one who has been on patrols with US, Iraqi, & Georgian Soldiers during Phase IV (conventional) operations, has helped plan, direct, & assess those operations, teach others how to, etc. This is NOT why the US military did those patrols. 1/
Amazing how many of our current villains have similar origin stories: Someone criticized them or failed to give them the respect / status to which they felt entitled. Naturally, this left them with no choice but to destroy the offending institution/s, possibly the whole country.
They are the whiniest babies. Really sad.
I mean, he did play a trans woman.
Hey, guys. Guess what we’re not talking about any more.
But also, how can ANYONE look around at what is happening to science in the US today—the systemic attacks on public health, on the very idea that evidence matters—and not perceive how interconnected everything is?? We cannot understand this moment without the humanities and social sciences.
That’s specifically why weren’t supposed to politicize this stuff. I will never forgive the Supreme Court.
Feels like we should gather a lot of those leaders and start a shadow government.
Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.
He’s afraid of kids on ATV’s?!
hear me out here, what if none of it is a 'distraction' and they're just doing a lot of horrible shit simultaneously
NEW: Sen Whitehouse is asking for the following info on the sex offender status waiver and subsequent transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell. I got some of these answers in my reporting. If you work at BOP & have the answers, my signal is in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous. open.substack.com/pub/muellers...
Yeah, no one should read heinlein at a young age. Thats a big no.
Did you guys defeat fascism over the weekend with your online posting? Oh shit... Awww, guyyyys
Ice presence is way up. Ice tactics have changed. There are reasons ice is catching more hands. They don’t identify themselves and refuse to follow basic policing guidelines that are there to keep everyone safe. They act like lawless thugs.
Reporter: Here’s that article, chief! Editor: Great! We’re gonna slap a clickbait headline on this baby that is *insane.* People are gonna want to *kill* you! Reporter: (sigh) Well, I guess it’s worth it if they read it. Editor: Haha, don’t worry, they won’t. Here, let me throw that away for you.
Kind of annoyed that they never tell you that when “Pride comes before the fall,” it takes so fucking long.
One of the weird things I like is I take a can of spam and cut it into up so it’s like a bunch of little finger sized portions without going all the way through so it fans open a little. Leave it on until it gets a nice mahogany smoke color and serve hot.
Maybe a vinegar based mop. I add sugar, equal parts, with some chili powder(I use arbol and guajillos) along with a little onion powder for pork ribs. Mop with half bbq sauce and half vinegar.
Pay attention to the kind of smoke you are using. You want oak or pecan(or a mix) for beef, hickory or mesquite for pork(I prefer hickory but grew up with mesquite.) And fruit trees for fish or chicken. Most smoked meats are done with lots of salt and black pepper and not much else.
Well here’s a great account to block this weekend!
This is so breathtakingly cruel that my soul glitched. I’m never surprised by the depths of depravity, per se, but having to process it still exacts an emotional cost. www.npr.org/2025/08/08/n...
I’ve had worse endings in a day.
This is straight-up fascist shit from Indiana governor.
Guys would rather join ICE rather than get therapy.
I'm in Walla Walla today to hear from local health care providers about the consequences of Republican cuts to Medicaid and health care. Democrats need to pound the pavement in rural areas to make plain WHO is responsible for longer wait times and higher costs.
He’s like goose made love to a slug and that abominable pairing produced a full grown man with no soul.
It’s like some one attached 60 years of evil to a baby and then threw the switch marked combine.
He look like the living embodiment of moist.
Like duck lips made animate.
Making public sector unions illegal is also what Franco, Mussolini, and Hitler did if we are looking for obvious 20th century parallels.
The trans panic is maddening, because trans people are expected to defend ourselves with logic science and any sign of emotion is a failure. And yet the anti-trans campaign is nothing but appeals to emotion unburdened by facts, precedent, or empathy.
This is what happens when you don’t use a quality landscaper like The Four Seasons Landscaping.
I mean other countries will move forward with it leaving Americans in the dust.
The highest levels of the Trump administration are collaborating with the FBI and DOJ to cover-up evidence the President committed sexual crimes against children. Unspeakably corrupt, and not a single Republican in Congress can be expected to speak out against it.
Are we sure this wasn’t ICE?
NEW: WIRED has the police report about the alleged assault on Edward "Big Balls" Coristine -- the incident that predated President Donald Trump threatening to "federalize" DC. Read @carolinehaskins.bsky.social and @makenakelly.bsky.social:
Also worth noting: They’re killing the media industry *first*. Techbros have been very clear that their goal is to put as many people out of work as possible. This is nothing more or less than an attack by the 1% upon the rest of us that, if left unchecked, will crash the global economy.
LOL. Ghislaine Maxwell also said Jeffrey Epstein never did anything disturbing around her! That's how she caught two perjury charges.
losers. literally everyone on this website saw this coming.
Keep the two distinct in your head.
Guys, there is a scam going around! If someone is telling you you're being impersonated and wants you to hop into a Discord chat DON'T DO IT, FAM! DON'T HOP INTO THE CHAT! DO NOT ENGAGE!
I feel like the reason why far right propaganda is so effective and pervasive is because instead of offering solutions they offer excuses. It always boils down to "All of your problems are because of someone else" which is like oldest and most basic grift around.
Kind of a great day yesterday for our first day of vacation. We went to the international mermaid museum, goose point oysters, and then pulled up to our vacation rental. Then went to an izakaya for dinner and drinks. On the way we stopped by the video rental place and picked up a few treasures.
I’m not sure many realize how thesaurus-dependent #TTRPG designers are sometimes in an effort to avoid ending up with mechanics named “resistant resistances” or “the defensive Defense defense score” etc. 😔
I’ve seen the NSA election audit claims floating around. So far, it has not been verified, & it’s important to note the NSA doesn’t audit our elections. I support demanding audits & accountability, but spreading unproven stories is harmful to the fight for transparency. Stay vigilant but grounded.
AI is a shell game currently.
This administration believes reality is whatever they say it is. We never trust numbers from them, or anything else for that matter.
"I need ChatGPT to brainstorm" dear human person the whole point of brainstorming is to find new ways or angles when approaching a problem, the "let's regurgitate the complete stolen corpus of human achievement"-machine doesn't help you brainstorm - it stops you from brainstorming.
Oh my god. I’m so sorry. Wtf
