Kari-nefarious di Medi-scream

I can't say enough how much I loved the first episode of this show! Sorry! Thank you so much, @sararoseg.bsky.social and @thedailytism.com for creating something so relatable and funny! 😁 I even saw myself clearly in, well, I won't say who. So sorry! thedailytism.com/podcast/ Sorry!

Bluesky has four kinds of users

OK, my initial thoughts on the @bsky.app #iPad #beta: I love (1) the app can fill the screen; and (2) actual left-side menus. On the other hand, (3) right-side items don't show up anywhere; (4) the text also seems tiny, even adjusted; and (5) there's a lot of empty space. But it is a good start!

Give me four versions of you.

Does anyone know how to set up a Bluesky #labeler? Extra points if it can be done free or really really cheap. I have an idea for one, but from what I've read, I can't believe how complicated and potentially expensive it is! Any thoughts appreciated so much!

My reaction to absolutely everything right now

you can't be serious. This reads Meta/Facebook/Insta is looking to grant itself the rights to scrape websites across the open web - and train Meta's AI - if a company after Oct 30, 2026 uses Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or other Meta services. So every biz. Read that again. Outrageous. 1/5

Now's not the time for us to let up! @cdelawalla.bsky.social of @standupforscience.net has put together another great rally for those of us unable for whatever reason to physically be present at a No Kings event. And please, check out the standupforscience.net web site and get involved!

I posted something earlier that may be the most mean-spirited thing I’ve ever skeeted. It is against my usual nature, and I am a little embarrassed about it. But you know what else is against my nature? This whole fucking time we live in. However, I need to not let it win. 😢 #YeetingTheSkeet

People keep asking how bad of a thing you would have to do to get canned by this regime. There is no depth of corruption that could do it. No act so despicable as to force their hand. There is exactly one thing: get caught. That makes The Mad King look bad, and that isn’t allowed.

There’s no way she lasts even a single Mooch unless she gets better than that horrific excuse for an introduction. Maybe not even half a Mooch.

If news outlets charge for a story, that is their right. If I don't want to or can't pay, I simply don't. And "gift articles" where you have to register to read them - if I don't want to, I just move on. But I REALLY wish I remembered that so I wouldn't click on them every stupid time. 🤦‍♀️ Sigh.

So apparently this regime is determined to join North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, and other countries that perform public executions for the sheer spectacle and entertainment of it. There are bridges you don’t come back from when you cross them as a culture.

How i arrived on Bluesky:

Justice Alito devotes an entire chapter of his new book to the emergency docket—and to responding to people like me (“the most prolific academic critic of the emergency docket”). As I explain over at “One First,” it … didn’t go well: www.stevevladeck.com/p/256-so-une...

"We apologize for the inconvenience."

Your regular reminder, straight from BLS official data, that #Democratic presidents see much higher #jobs growth than #Republican presidents. And specifically that #JoeBiden saw the best, and #TheMadKing's numbers in his separated terms are 2 of the 4 worst.

10/10 statement, no notes

Donald Trump, #TheMadKing, has just indicated that he will not defend the United States of America against attack. Specifically, #nuclear attack. For anybody who still doesn’t think he’s done anything to merit #impeachment: how much more of an abdication of his basic responsibilities do you need?

Madeline makes this point far better than I could ever manage, but I want to point out that I completely agree on every point of this. Even when people make it hard sometimes. I wish it was a viewpoint that more held.

Sometime, you have to do the right thing even when it hurts, even when it turns people against you. Ari is a real leader in every sense. ODP "Pride", when you turn on an increasingly shunned and vulnerable part of your constituency, how dare you expect blind loyalty from them. Lives are at stake.

My genuine best advice for anyone who wants a window into a specific school’s sexual violence response is to ask if they have an ATIXA membership. ATIXA is a consulting group that sells a lot of schools their sexual violence materials.

I can define “Super Intelligence” for you as something that those who call it that do not have.

I have to point this out: Jews ≠ Israelis ≠ Netanyahu regime Arabs ≠ Muslims ≠ Palestinians ≠ Hamas (In case of font problems, ≠ is "not equal".) The ones causing the problems are the Netanyahu regime and Hamas. Please direct your anger at them and leave the people to live their lives.

Tell me if I am misunderstanding the situation: a woman who has so much as a miscarriage can be thrown in jail in some states, but men who gang rape a woman for hours can only be forced to write a paper because anything else could “ruin their futures”. Fuck the patriarchy…

Stop telling women what to do. Stop telling us to do all of the work. Stop acting like you know more about our struggle than we do. Stand up for your fellow human being without any reward because that’s what we’re supposed to do. Ffs.

So the Squeaker of the House thinks that promising to do exactly the same nothing they've been doing is a great plan to win over voters? I'm sorry, I know that's not true, they've actually been keeping the soles of The Mad King's boots very shiny for the last two years.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Remember when they kicked an entire girl’s softball team out of the championship game because a player posted a private Snapchat where she was flipping off the camera? It’s funny how they never worry about ruining girl’s futures.

If you're not familiar with what victims of SA/SV at colleges face when trying to get justice, PLEASE read this thread by @nbedera.bsky.social. It's no happy read, but she does a great job laying out how schools and the federal government have worked hard to make it even more impossible for victims.

On September 9 or 10, someone staged this protest at the Dallas Fort Worth airport ahead of the GOP midterm convention. Does anyone know which organization was behind it? We would love to speak with them. Please share widely!

The "Office of Remigration" funnels tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to foreign governments—many of them authoritarian and riddled with human rights abuses—to serve as third-country destinations for deported refugees. Keep your ability to feel shock.
