This is something I could be a dedicated behind-the-scenes support person for should we end up needing to do this in Boston (finding meeting spaces, tracking needs/responses, creating communication groups, etc). Just throwin' that out there.

a lot of the newsom supporters on here are bots ginning up numbers for the democratic establishment, or ancient comfortable white people who scream when their cookie for taking a grudging half step to the left is not offered obsequiously enough. (aka bots.)
idk how familiar you are with Mortal Human Bodies but fyi you need your brain, it is not an upsell. <3
I was so amped for the TV show to introduce her to a whole new generation of kids and I was so mad when they turned her into a cop.
read the whole post.
This is wrong. Nobody should be arrested for their speech no matter how ugly. A reasonable society would have just sent some folks over to his house for a little chat. He could have still gone to the hospital after, as a treat.
honestly what an awesome and cheap solution to the problem - "you clearly like it, you posted it, have one on us."
looks like they kept the general feel of it but expanded the color palette and also the, I guess, texture resolution so it's less...I guess pointedly Animated? Not my style of game anyway regardless, it just surprises me.
wait the new borderlands game drops the visual identity of the series up til now (the so-called 'sobel shading')? lol then literally what's the point?
FYI I am (newly posting) on tiktok; seems like a better place for hyper local decontextualized vibey loops than here. Follow for more of the same if you'd like. www.tiktok.com/@thompsonize...
Every five minutes some rich guy somewhere is like I have a brand new idea: colonization!
this is so much weirder in a post cellphone world.
Something press pool could ask about
holy references batman. i did the capitol steps dinner theater thing multiple times as a teenager. I brought dates!
dudes who say “10 years ago” when they mean the 80s always have too much fucking money.
i still get the occasional spam email from ello lol.
local journalism really swinging for the fences.
Everything else aside: the fuck was Rudy doing in ManchVegas?
...the fuck was he doing in Manchester New Hampshire? We call it ManchVegas because at least it isn't Concord.
I thought this was from @rikergoogling.bsky.social for a sec.
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
the only reason to mention it is because there IS a call, and this is to get out ahead of whatever actually happened.
gonna be one helluva 911 recording.
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
This is worth sharing far and wide. Federal Employees and contractors oral history project. Im not involved in this. Just got the link, idea seems to be to create a record of the assault on the American Repuvlic after Jan 2025. www.fecohp.org
antiquing.
my relationship with every single discord I have followed has lasted precisely as long as it has taken me to log in the next time after joining it - months later - and seeing all the missed notifications and immediately removing it. it demands so much attention and scales terribly. I can't.
guys he's fine, they just released this video of him

As another resident of this place, I try to make being unmoored from time a problem for time to work out. you good?
the funniest possible day for it to happen is 9/11
yes, plus the caffeine.

Lowell's own, at least originally. I think it's HUGELY funny that we are the birthplace of a drink so bitter it dares you to like it.
having mixed feelings that the only other masked person at the grocery store was parading around in an I LOVE MILFS shirt
the strongest 'medicine' of that calibre I keep around is a now-decade-old pint bottle of hennessey that I keep refilling from new pints because the bottle has more Cosmic Power than the liquor.

@timetravel.camp
uh so I downloaded this demo and it is so much like 21st century arkanoid I smelled the chlorine from the hotel pool next to the cabinet I sunk vacation money into when I was 10, so, uh, yeah, good game.
he trashes trans people over and over in public, including on far right podcasts. He's clearly your candidate, but your INSISTENCE on the correctness of supporting him when he is actively campaigning against my interests is what is offensive here. Fuck gavin newsom, he's a transphobe apologist.
"simpler messaging" that downplays the threat to trans and queer people is an existential threat for trans and queer, and he's doing worse than that. you have spent ALL DAY doing this. This is not ally behavior. Take a walk.
i LOVE this
idk if folks just aren't enticed by the idea of "bird treasure" in a well made hardwood box, but I divided up the treasure hoard I had collected and officially each "Look here" Treasure Cache box has its random little bag of loot to help folks visualize. www.galdrecraft.com
you have spent literally all day on this site arguing against trans rights with people and insisting they support a compromise to the right with no gain except your own comfort. If you aren’t a bigot you’re carrying water for them and that looks like the same thing from over here.
It's obviously ridiculous for all trans people to be held responsible for the actions of the worst trans person. It's a familiar double standard that is also applied to people who look Muslim (such as myself) being held responsible for the actions of the worst Muslim. It's a trans Reichstag fire.
They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.
uh huh. sure bud.
it’s funny how you took the first opportunity you were given to break to the right. shocked. i am shocked.
rugpulling democrats to own...someone. maybe.
This format is going to be like 60% of what journalism is in the next few years and, honestly, good! This is incredibly thorough. I do wonder when the major networks are gonna get the hint.
Big tech is Southeast Asian call centers all the way down
Looking forward to RFK JR. mumbling that elves stealing children mitochondrial peptides cause autism into a microphone "if children are not allowed to eat the mother dirt the elves will steal their peptides using arrows carved from bone" he continues "you can see them if you're quick like me"
"escalating to human readers" lol cool - BigAI has moved from "perfectly functioning automated humanity" to "jank requiring human moderation at scale." It took facebook, what, 10 years to get to this point publicly? OpenAI got there in 1. Next step is opening responses up for ads/sponsorship.
nyc had zagats, we got that.
!!!!
how do i join the maquis
too much computer
ah, sorry, looks like that's four million a quarter and I compared it to an annual number. So 16 million/year. 0.64% That's the scale of the informational dishonesty published here, I can correct and QUADRUPLE my number and it's still negligible vs budget.
"FOUR MILLION DOLLARS STOLEN VIA BENEFITS FRAUD!" Out of how much dispensed? "A MILLION SOUNDS LIKE A LOT DOESN'T IT?!" Nowhere in the article does it mention that the state hands out 2.5 Billion-with-a-B dollars in aid a year. 0.16% these fucking people.
seems like a lot of money on ink spent to hate on poor people but it's a national sport, so.
Really wish the Sun bylined the reporters writing these editorials so I could avoid them in the future. 4 million dollars in annual waste (assuming the numbers as presented are good, but there's enough bullshit statistics in here to doubt that...) is a "wasted" buck resident per year.

sometimes I search for an old post of mine and discover a years-old post I don't even remember making
welcome to the club.
Like yes, we can work towards a world that looks better on the other side of this, but that doesn't mean the weight we're carrying doesn't require...some maudlin...ity.
We aren't quite there yet. It'll come with the outright violence.
Trump's gonna die, but the systems that oppress us will remain. Elections no longer matter because we have no faith in our systems to maintain them. People will get through this, but people are also going to die. Trump being unliked only matters in a world where he hasn't gone fully mask off.
Doomerism is rational. The systems that prop trump up have gotten much better at applying constant omnidirectional downward pressure and managing how quickly that pressure increases. We have NONE of the social flexibility that made previous antifash efforts - the civil rights era etc - work.
In a stupid way this is sort of refreshing - they're starting at the bottom with the data the AI has access to and are working up, they didn't doge/grok it and dump every piece of data the city has access to into an AI for it to badly parse on its own.

i'm the guy who invented the spike traps that pop out of temple walls. i hate my job. every day my boss says "why haven't we killed any archeologists" and i say "they haven't invented that yet." they pay me in tomb juice. i hate tomb juice. honestly i might just start working on my big boulder idea
the end of de minimis tariff exemptions to shipments into the US this week are going to punch people in the gut.
not very antifa for all of you. not very antifa for all of you at all.
You realize there is a revolution brewing and you don't HAVE to throw in with the bigots in advance, right? Like you're looking for a Compromise Candidate...why? Compromise with whom, to win what? You're either giving in out of muscle memory or you really hate queer people. either way fuck off.

Polls and watergateian bombshells only work in a world where systemic consequences exist. "non-aggression" against fascists just gets you more fascists.
it's only a step forward if you're enthralled by the familiarity of the past.
You need to understand that: A) I and many others will never vote for Gavin Newsom B) If you're out there promoting this man, I will never trust you and know you will turn your back on me over literally nothing.

Congrats to the Dems and their new slogan of let’s win elections without using words.
Mike Collins is an idiot. There are 55M people in the world with US Visas. They’re not all here at once. There are about 185 types of visas and in FY2019 there were 3.2M people here on temporary visas.
It's frustrating when I see awesome mac games like Nova Drift bundled with awesome games not available on Mac. I would play the hell out of this game. Ah well.
they’re swarming. i get a couple of these sorts of follows a day.
DC is being fortified against its own people. Meanwhile, local media:
watching a hyperloop takedown video and am increasingly frustrated by how anyone ever thought that a place as large, public funding-starved, and uncoordinated as here would be able to maintain hundreds of miles of continuous vacuum when it can barely maintain iron rails.
the nerds are Freaking Out
you think this is a moment to insist on moral compromise with a flailing and directionless and fascist-curious political center? lol
the handoff was OUTSIDE AN ATM and that was the best they could do.
