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.
a good analogy for the current constitutional crisis is if the boy who cried wolf was actually the wolf
Big if true
But we've all been holding it. Now we need to gođŠđŚ... But wheređ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸on the golf course in the family burial plot? It's time we relieve the constipation
Lower your flag to half staff. Ask people where they were when they heard the news. Wonder aloud whether foreign dignitaries will come to the funeral. And move on
He's going to start a war with Venezuela, looks like.
What does he have planned in vain attempt to suck the oxygen from them on Wed?
Itâs so weird that theyâre scared of something as soft and peaceful as AC/DC. Imagine if they heard Devourment or Infant Annihilator.
Hey now, let's not advocate full on torture of these poor animals
Scenes from what movie? Cats (2019)?
No, I mean I think some of these people literally voted for Trump and will continue to vote republican, but are pretending to be Newsom supporters to sow division
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 canât do better. There is a guy out there for you. Look, your bestie New York City found a great guy and sheâs had so many bad exs.
Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
The thing people fail to understand about the slippery slope fallacy is that if you can prove that the slope really is slippery, there's no fallacy. Slippery slope is just a really specific form of false premise.
mayhaps all the incredibly stupid slippery slope arguments we've witnessed in the last couple of decades have made us blind to the actual slippery slopes we're careening towards at the moment.
Tech billionaires know that climate change is real, income inequality is horrific, and war is worsening. They want to accelerate itâto bring us to the brink of collapseâin hopes of ruling the ashes. Their ignorance is blinding. They think weâll turn on each other. The truth: weâll turn on them.
'My dog ate the Epstein files'? Bravo, good sir!
It would have made more sense to write "The Supreme Court Republicans have yet to say he can't do this."
I mean, the constitution also gives insurrectionists no power to hold office. Itâs not ambiguous. But the chattering class, left and right, continues to treat Trump as the Great White Exception bsky.app/profile/flyi...
This âexplicitâ is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. Itâs not ambiguous.
Can a group of people dressed just like these ICE goons (no badges, no IDs) run up a situation like this and pretend to be ICE, take that person from them. then drive that person to a safe destination? Youâre not impersonating law enforcement. They donât have badges By Any means necessary
âLet me ask you one question, is your money that good? Will it buy you forgiveness, do you think that it could? I think you will find,when your death takes itâs toll, all the money you made will never buy back your soulâ.-Bob Dylan
That might be a part of it, but I'm certain a larger part is that they're trying to avoid being ID'd... A) as members of already proscribed domestic terror groups and B) to avoid being prosecuted for their crimes at a later date. On that second note, try to get good images of their ears.
And if you can show the VIN and plate don't match, you've got evidence of a crime.
That sure doesn't look like an official government vehicle. Next time get a picture of the vehicle identification number as well as the license plate. Look it up. If the license doesn't match the VIN report it stolen. If it does match, DOX the owner.
Youâre wearing masks⌠but Your mom knows who you are Your family knows who you are Your neighbours know you too Calling all social media đ
Itâs the functionality for me đ. These ainât exactly Sicarios running around with Benicio Del Toro! And I know for fact they make enough money to get some vests that actually fit.
Give a human failure a ballistic vest and he will behave like a human failure in a ballistic vest.
I am so fucking sick of this shit, we have white supremacy/bounty hunters and creeps running around in mask kidnapping our neighbors! Fuck this entire administration, your day is coming and with it, the American NĂźrnberg trials!!
I wasnât sure and donât know how extensive it it. But thatâs a good start and I hope someoneâs on it.
Florida has that Sunshine Law so it should be pretty easy to get that info
This just screams for a FOIA-like records request for the expense. And if FL doesnât supply such records, it screams for media attention. Will either of these things happen? Magic 8 Ball says . . .
That's 7 patrol cars that aren't out harassing immigrants.
Just a thought. They're guarding the green crosswalk with 7 police officers. It would be trivially easy for a chalk-equipped group of civic-minded citizens to drop by each of the red-circled crosswalks in turn.
So has FEMA just become a slush fund for this administration? They no longer handle emergencies just pass out political favors?
Another confession that masqueraded as an accusation from the right.
Oh good. Now we have ICE pedophiles using their position to try and steal children. That's not the stuff of nightmares at all. Stop recording them, start bashing their faces in with bats.
You're willing to throw my trans brothers and sisters under the bus. None are free until all are free.
Not actually true because in the end it's always overthrown
Well maybe America can try to be exceptional for real this time then.
It's a massive systemic issue that individuals can't do much to move the needle on! But it sure isn't helped by the state trying to force third parties to keep state citizens in ignorance
The idea that the state should be empowered to restrict access to speech in the name of child protection is inherently conservative and authoritarian, my dude, sorry not sorry
Don't forget how much he loves Insulin being unaffordable â so much that he vetoed a unanimously-approved bill to lower the cost of Insulin
Transphobia isn't even an election winner. He's into this and burning down homeless encampments out of love of the game.
Fuck AI! I refuse to play that mass suicide game.
The fascist oligarchy is pushing generative AI because they hate art and human culture. Reject AI, reject Fascism, reject Capitalism, embrace Humanity and Art.
They've been saying that for a while
Klarna is a predatory lender anyway. They're doing you a favor.
Thank goodness we don't actually have artificial intelligence, just Large Language Models, otherwise this would be serious.
With the Arch Linux website being in the DDoSy state it's in this reminds me of something, Please if you download the ISO with the Bittorrent link, seed it if you have data caps that allow you to do so.
McCarthyism is a hell of a drug
Blue State Govenors are calling out tRump for calling on National Guard to police States. They are forming a coalition. "Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you donât need federal permission to govern." Chris Armitage ¡
As others have said, Newsom is a tool. He happens to be a useful one at the moment, but he's still a tool.
Next week it begins the judging phase proper of his trial, itâll be televised â as all audiences of the Supreme Court â and youâre more than welcome to take a celebratory drink as that fucker and his coconspirators get their due
Still, if there were a version of Enterprise where Archer gets court-martialed, and loses, for the things he does, I'd watch the hell out of it.
But that version of Archer still wouldn't be fit for a reprising role, given his place in that version of the story as an intentionally negative moral example.
A better version of the show could have kept roughly the same Captain Archer, but make T'Pol or some other character a moral authority to critique and sometimes condemn him on behalf of the audience.
Yes! Please! Put the only kind of pressure on this regime it will respond to. The economic kind.
IMO, every country with diplomatic personnel in the US should order them home & issue travelers warnings to not visit the US or leave quickly if they are here already. Then stop doing any business with the US.
I genuinely believe that Enterprise remains the most unforgivably regressive Trek has ever been, including this tepid season of SNW, and I really don't want to go back to Torture Man and his merry gang of neocons.
So I'm going to be the minority opinion here and I'm disagreeing with @jessiegender.bsky.social which automatically probably makes me wrong but...I am absolutely categorically opposed to Star Trek United because I don't want to see any more of Captain George W. Bush, errr, Jonathan Archer.
Enterprise, given the theme of Star Trek is supposed to be progress, needs to be "behind" the series that take place "after" it. That's an occupational hazard of writing prequels, and could have been fine, but yeah they didn't do *nearly* enough to communicate "this won't fly come Century 23"
Eh, fair enough. On a serious note, isn't it basically the same thing that's making the blood vessels in his brain disintegrate, too?
No joke. Anyway, should have said it sooner, but congratulations on overthrowing the bastard.
Didn't he have hints of those before Alaska?
Putin has the piss tape. Putin has the Epstein files. Has it ever occurred to any of you that Putin is a successful assassin and Trump is a massive bitch?
A lot longer than that. We've had quite a bit of that in the culture since the Mayflower.
A âwe were wrongâ correction would be nice.
You know full well they're going to double down and say she couldn't have known that, it's not really happening anyway, and she did it somehow.
Which is what makes the "it's up to the parents" mindset truly dangerous. That kid now has a single point of failure in their support system around this risk. As an engineer, I'd find that absolutely unacceptable.
Cancelled federal funding, yes. There's enough promise in the field that we'll probably see some private investment, but it won't nearly make up for it.

"they see themselves as statesmanâs and guardians of civilization and all that entails â the good, the bad and the batshit crazy" So much our supreme court too, but too few of them have personally experienced dictatorship, nor exercised enough empathy while reading about it.
found a cool hack for upscaling raster lineart without any A/I stuff - lay it over a white BG and merge the layers - then resize it up - blur it a bit - edit curves to sharpen it up - invert it - make it a transparency mask for your line color of choice - ??? - profit
That's terrifyingly close to all the AI upscaler does.
Dems are apparently "looking for a platform" when the answer is right there: Stop running away from thing that actually help people. Food, housing, healthcare, no genocides, everyone's rights and bodily autonomy protected, a livable world, and all of those things viciously, deftly defended, always.
The word "just" is very important there. It's never "just" a distraction. It's part of the agenda to kill our liberal democracy. But that doesn't mean they didn't ramp it up to distract from the whole #Epstein mess 'cuz they absolutely did.
Clippy wouldn't rat you out to the feds. He just wanted to help.
But then the phrasing shouldn't be "it's just a distraction," rather than "can you believe he'd have our fucking military invade the Capitol, just to distract us from the Epstein files? How is he getting away with this?"
That Trump instinctively uses fascist performance TO distract does not magically render the lived-in fascism an inconsequential distraction.
stop calling everything a distraction youtube.com/shorts/yyFjN...
Yes. People should be outraged exactly because 45 is willing to do these fascistic things for such a petty purpose.
IMO this is a "walk and chew gum" situation. Yes it sure as hell is real fascism. But these are premediated distractions too, and we know that because Trump continually gives away the plot: "Are they still talking about #Epstein?" Followed by daily shiny objects. Pure coinkydink I'm sure.
To everyone in positions of power and authority; We don't expect less because the job isn't easy. We expect more precisely because the job is hard. Sincerely, The People
But that's expecting them to read Stirner, and even people who agree with Stirner don't read Stirner.
Stirner seems to make a compelling argument for a rejection of capitalism from an individualistic perspective.
Russia is preparing to withdraw from the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture.
Yes! A HUGE part of the reason many people object to kids getting accurate, age-appropriate sex ed is because it empowers them to recognize what they're experiencing *is* abuse.
Historical context is very important here.
Brasil has pardoned the military rapists and torturers in a pact to bring back the opposition to the dictatorship. After that, little was done to bring them to justice. Bolsonaro is a military office, tried a military coup, so it was kind obvious what we did wrong back in 1979.
(Application to the present moment left as an exercise for the reader.)
Northern abolitionists were metal. Fuck the confederacy.
from chandra manning's wonderful book "what this cruel war was over"
If you ever have trouble believing Pedocon theory -- that an entire national political party could be populated entirely by perverts in open pursuit of their perversions, recall that the entire country once split and fought a war over it.
