It is not humiliating for him, since he has no sense of dignity, but it is humiliating for the rest of us that the president of the United States serves as a subordinate press officer of the Kremlin. (1/2)

Stripping the copper wire out of the National Spirit Halloween they have created.

I lose well over $1000 a year to my local grocery store. I buy so much food from it without it ever buying anything from me. It's stealing from me!

Nihar Shah did a heroic experiment for TMLR: he spent 20-25 hours over two weeks interviewing authors of seemingly low-quality submissions about their own papers. He confirmed what we all suspected: people submitting these papers have *no idea* what is going on in them.

Here is the report, which also contradicts DHS IG report's claim that detainees weren't held there for more than two hours. www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

25 years later and The Onion’s ParentCorner 9/11 explainer from immediately after the attack is a better understanding of the threat environment than the one produced by the U.S. government.

I know, I know, but can you imagine the weeks of NYT headlines if a Dem President said this? There would be oodles of "doesn't respect Texas and real Americans" hand wringing.

I really wish more Dems would go meta on this and ask whose interests it serves that candidates for the United States Senate are being asked about how they would micromanage the eligibility rules for local youth sports leagues.

Bellevue Councilmember Lynne Robinson wants to lobby the state legislature to remove the new blanket exemption from parking mandates for senior housing because "all those people" at one specific independent living facility in Bellevue "have cars."

NO PREVENTION! ONLY MORE POLICE!

We knew this. We just didn't want to be the ones who said Bibi was in cahoots with Hamas because THAT IS BONKERS and also highly flammable material.

MAN SELLING THING TELLS YOU YOU MUST ACT NOW WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!

They saw how their predecessors cleaned up, watched tech workers accrue assets over the last 20 years, and see AI as a way to blow up and pop their own speculative bubble to suction those assets back to their rightful owners.

The Greens should vet candidates and then they wouldn’t have as many unvetted candidate problems

Under Section 6(d) of LG's updated webOS terms ("Voice Recognition and Privacy"), owners agree that they are legally responsible for obtaining consent from any third party whose voice the television might record.

In July, ICE kidnapped 700 people in Washington State. They are taking people with no criminal records at grocery stores, gas stations, and on their way to pick up their kids at school. This is cruel, plain and simple. ICE must be dismantled.

This Romney argument reinforces what @nberlat.bsky.social has suggested about how the right-wing turns to fascism whenever it doesn't get what it wants. *Maybe* Romney winning in 2012 delays or even prevents MAGA but in a true democracy, people don't embrace fascism if it loses.

This is what the growth of surveillance is going to bring. Not safety from crime, but new, non-criminal acts redefined as criminal so as to give the police an excuse to exercise power. local12.com/news/offbeat...

After you have committed an act of easy sabotage, resist any temptation to wait around and see what happens.

The most credible contemporaneous accounts describe Natalie Harp as a minor religious attendant, tasked with selecting daily scriptures & assisting with ritual ablutions. Further speculation that she served as a form of “executive augury” seem implausible in the constitutional system of the period

I just don’t understand why we cave to an angry meeting room. Just stand there and say you understand they have concerns. Then build it anyways. Then move on.

When we shut down ICE we must not forget to also shut down GEO Group. Earning a profit off the imprisonment of human beings is Nazi shit.

ICE agents threatened to beat up a Seattle small business owner, married to a citizen, with NO criminal record unless he signed a "voluntary" departure. I'm told there were cameras in the room. I'm demanding any video and that Eduardo be brought home immediately.

The Lefty Cheat Sheet is great! Thank you for your service, @sharethecities.bsky.social.

Not sure I've seen a more accurate meme

I am very very tired of hearing the words “trans women and drag queens”. Drag is an art form not an identity, and if your annoying online gotcha depends on encouraging the conflation of the two by lumping them together then it doesn’t fundamentally fight conservatism but it does fundamentally suck.

In the comments, an article that manages to be pretty straightforward until the last paragraph, when it drops a well-justifies f-bomb. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Thread. Rapists running a coercive sex ring AND transmitting CSAM AND inducing other men to abuse women and girls in turn. The alleged behavior is legitimately monstrous and it’s a HUGE deal that the Trump regime is undermining law enforcement to help/free them. Epstein in real time

this seems like it broke containment so please help save chaco canyon! Go comment on this!!!!

NEVER FORGET the debt we all owe to the Miccosukee Tribe, without whom it would still be open. And never forget that Indigenous sovereignty and all our safety and flourishing are forever intertwined.

so in the absence of platner, we get to have AOC hammering Collins for a while? that's very good!

breaking my attempt at concentration to share a tidbit about Klippenstein, which is that he was a key vector of harassment 6 years ago when the internet decided to come after me for a bad Washington Post article. I haven't forgotten, or forgiven anyone

we're about to see a world-historical flowers for algernon moment as thousands of vibe coding developers, allowed the use of Claude Fable 5 in their Claude Code subscriptions for a brief moment, are asked to begin paying $100-200 per session for their tokens

Gen X knows. This intro meant one thing: It was going to be good, and bedtime just got postponed.
