i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Just came up with a fun little programming idea that if it's already been done fuck it I'm going to do it anyway because I think it'll be fun and I want to learn stuff.

This weekend Liz and I went out to dinner at a local place called Turtle's. It's kind of a smaller-ish "dive" restaurant. It's not bad, but it's not fine dining either. We just wanted a change of pace (and it's close to my favorite brewhall).

Oh, and look, gas prices are $4.39 at the station I usually go to. Having a blue wave in 1 week doesn't immediately fix everything. But it gives us a potential inflection point to start righting the ship that Trump is rapidly sinking.

Vote, and then expect a LOT of litigation and fighting for the next 2 months to stop the results if it shows a blue wave really happened (funny enough, if Republicans win, nothing will be disputed).

We usually go to Bravi's, a great Mexican restaurant. These days, dinner there runs us up to at least 60$. Which is not cheap, but ... it's really good food. We both got a burger and a drink at Turtle's, and our bill was 60$ :|

My point is this: cost in America has risen and it's not going down. Relatively speaking, it's outrageous compared to where things were a couple of years ago GEE WHAT HAPPENED RIGHT AROUND THAT TIME.

This is beyond racism.

Max Berger@maxberger.bsky.social

It’s never been more clear that racism is a scam perpetrated by wealthy elites to convince working people to blame someone other than the wealthy elite.

The time to determine whether Dan J. Sullivan Jr. could appear on the Alaska ballot for U.S. Senate was months ago, and Alaska courts did so. What's additionally batshit about this is that the candidates' names are printed on the ballot in a way which makes abundantly clear who's who.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

This is a fantastic article. I highly recommend you read it. Doesn't matter if you're anti-AI or "all in" on the topic. Do yourself a favor and spend the time to actually READ IT (don't have an LLM summarize it, that's missing the point). You may disagree with it, but challenge yourself.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Our new yard sign colors were a bit more popular than we’d expected...a great problem to have! In the interest of sustainability, we’ll be delivering our “vintage” color yard signs to new orders soon. Different color, same name and message. Thanks friends.

Great threat on why the Tesla flying car stunt is exactly that: a stunt. It will never, ever go anywhere other than the dumb demo.

It may be real, but it looks really fake. Even if it is real, this isn't "flying". And how is this even remotely applicable in the real world? This is about the dumbest thing I've seen come from the white supremacist. Fuck Musk. Fuck Tesla.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.
