so unfair that you might be attacked for just wanting a white ethnostate anyway after like a decade plus of usage i canceled my @1password.bsky.social subscription and switched to apple passwords. took 15 minutes.

life can be good random and bad random, so i really really appreciate good random. this made my day.

Shocking news! Just kidding. Anyone with a brain knew it was all a lie, but it's nice to have it officially confirmed

Let's be clear: Trump's attacks on "antifa" are an attack on America. www.theverge.com/policy/79051...

1/ OK! We analyzed all ~5,300 pages of public records on the Moda Center deal — every email, text, contract, and invoice produced so far. Before Portland commits ~$850M+ ($1.12B after interest), here’s what every Portlander should know. It’s not the story you’ve been told. 🧵

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

Dear musicians, Why the HELL are you not only subscribing to Spotify, but sharing links to your music there? Why are you helping this company grow, despite them throwing you under the bus every single chance they've had in the last decade? I legitimately can't wrap my head around this.

Damn it doesn't get much clearer than that lolllll

Preach Anil!

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

“The pursuit of greater profits cannot justify choices that systematically sacrifice jobs, because the human person is an end, not a means, and the economic order must remain subordinate to human dignity and the common good.” -Pope Leo in #MagnificaHumanitas

do think this is to be expected in a society that installs grifters and corrupt people at the highest levels who get to operate with impunity. people build tools to democratize that behavior (which are then embraced by the ppl in charge) and the behavior just leeches into the rest of society

One last thing before we go. Today, after 2+ (or 10+??) years of work, we’re launching XOXO Explore, a complete archive of all eight years of the festival. xoxofest.com

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Great thread full of lots of insightful replies.

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

This is Fidèle. He is the most photographed dog in the world. He napped on that windowsill over the Groenerei canal in Bruges, Belgium for over a decade. Tour boats paused so visitors could take photos of Fidèle. He passed away in 2016, but not before making literally millions of people smile. 14/10

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all

The surprise at the end of Cabel's talk was a personal highlight of 12 years of running XOXO, a secret quietly hiding on stage for the entire festival. Nobody knew what was coming but @cabel.panic.com, @andymcmillan.com, me, and venue/event staff. It was a surprise even to all the other speakers.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Quick round up: - the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile - he’s openly taking bribes from foreign governments - his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets - the FBI is helping him steal the election - he’s threatening war against multiple allies 👍👍👍

I've seen videos of the indiscriminate use of tear gas on a large crowd that was clearly peaceful and filled with Portlanders of all ages, and well off the macadam facility. We banned tear gas for a reason. I join Councilor Green in calling for enforcement of our laws.

“ICE must be abolished, and it will be.” Events like yesterday bring us closer to this truth. What I saw with my eyes was thousands of people united in solidarity against this stain on our country, and then their children were assaulted with chemical weapons. That’s not something you move on from.

I was there, too, and recorded this as people left the scene. Hard to see in the video, but the baby in mom's arms was also crying with red eyes.

Thank you @sarahjeong.bsky.social and @iwriteok.bsky.social . This is a legitimate conversation my friend group was having only yesterday. I'm pretty sure Portlanders have a higher than typical exposure rate to chemical munitions.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Wrote this paragraph 17 days ago, about the killing of Renee Good.

It's time for a truly massive general strike. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-enough

We have been pounding the table about fake imagery in these moments for years - execs at the big tech companies have all told me we are right about it. But they have done appropriately nothing to manage the death of visual reality www.theverge.com/2024/8/22/24...

man the stuff i am seeing on IG from the most normie, i don’t really talk about politics accounts suggests something different

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

It is genuinely insane to watch capital decide that allowing this shit to go on is better for them than having to allow the FTC to do mild monopoly investigations and require cancellation buttons on websites.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

Breaking NYT: The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.
