just saw a guy suck down a honey pack in a popeyes

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

guys i made search software for people who work with photos and videos (see grip.media) :) what are some communities of people who would appreciate a tool like this?

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

vibe coding sounds like fun but i have so far been completely unable to catch the vibe

am testing out vibe coding with cline. it kinda works, but it seems to have issues reading the output of commands that it runs in the terminal sometimes, leading it to get stuck in a loop:

[job interview] CHEF: what do you bring to the table WAITRESS: is this a trick question

His followers are like, “Surely there must be some mistake, he said only THEIR lives would be ruined. I’d better message the president and let him know.” We’re in the denial and bargaining stage folks.

does bluesky have a way to collapse a reply thread like reddit? so that i can see the other replies below a certain thread without having to scroll for miles

hey guys i made a subway tracker i learned some new stuff about cloudflare's serverless technologies while doing it ibiyemiabiodun.com/tech-blogs/m...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Today I’m launching my platform to protect the majority of New Yorkers — tenants. As Mayor, I'll restore the Office to Protect Tenants, bring enforcement under one roof, increase fines for violations + make it easy to schedule inspections. It’s time to crack down on bad landlords.

Created a new stripe account b/c I'm testing something related to Stripe for hCaptcha. In their onboarding, they have a hero card front and center with a link to open your Gmail account to a search for emails from Stripe. That's very cool attention to detail.

Please stop saying it saved money until you understand the value of what was cut. They are downsizing, and if the stuff getting cut had real value, its not a saving.

i will become a total shill for whichever politician decides to become the joe mccarthy of rooting out silicon valley ideology and influence

how is hakeem jeffries more out of touch than his 80 year old predecessor ????

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

i wonder why these guys hate the CFPB so much ohh

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

👍

unfortunately for these folks the odds are that they aren’t going to go after violent criminals at all — too hard — and going to go exclusively over the easiest targets, which are law abiding workers

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!

cannot be said enough that for a decade a critical number of americans have simply refused to accept that he means what he says

elected democrats are to voters what landlords are to tenants. painted-over-the-outlet-ass party

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify. The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips. Good job, friends.

a sign of a healthy and functioning democracy is that i'm getting emails from my kids' schools assuring me that the teachers are dedicated to protecting my children against the federal government

i've been reading the deepseek drama for like 10 days already. i should've shorted everything
