Democrats won, Democrats lost. Republicans won, Republicans lost. Until this tinpot fascist lost an election, this republic and our ability to select our own government was presumed. It was the cornerstone. Now we no longer believe in our own process. He is destroying our democracy. With intent.

Being able to find nearly any damn song streaming within a few minutes to satiate an ear worm that The best thing. I get paralytic audio obsessions for some songs.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

I know it's in poor form to write "I'm hung" on a dating app, so I didn't. But that's a detail that is important to planning the rest of your day & life. I heard a woman say to her friends "sex shouldn't make me limp all day." Some people like to limp...

I'm just generally frustrated with online dating & have never been good at regular dating. My confidence module wasn't installed at the factory. I know what I'm worth, I just don't know how to tell people that without sounding arrogant. My smoothness module was an optional extra...

Business Insider confirms it: Amazon has warehouses of GPUs that can’t be installed, and is buying them so far in advance that a supply chain team said they “didn’t have a clear forecasted path” to installing them. www.businessinsider.com/amazon-220-b...

I'm not the same person as before 2016. I want the last 10 years back. I want bodily autonomy for women back. I want child separation criminals punished. I can't wait for the global celebration when he finally leaves Earth, and can't wait for his spawn and sycophants to have to watch it.

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?

NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Just booked a hotel & "search engine" wasn't on their list but AI was. Eff this timeline in its eye.

Ken Paxton is selling off Texas — our land, our water, our communities. Data centers bankroll Paxton, they get tax breaks, and you get stuck with the bill. We can’t afford Ken Paxton’s corruption. (This ad was made by humans — not AI.)

Maybe police on TV and movies shouldn't shoot at "bad guys" who run away either. Seems like a minor thing, but people who grow up thinking that's the way cops behave can become cops. Shouldn't glorify their worst. What I'd love to see is all guns replaced with paintball guns like in #Community.

This is wrong: Trump and Republicans in Congress gave BILLIONS in tax breaks to Big Tech companies building AI data centers. So YOUR tax dollars are subsidizing their AI data centers — at the same time you pay higher electricity and water bills.

I see a lot of posts exactly the same, but this seems to happen a lot too. Parallel thinking happens, but plagiarism does too. If you agree enough to copy, just repost. I bet @thelibbojack.bsky.social gets copied a lot. #CopyPasteSky

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Cool. But how are we going to pick up all the trash that doesn't float? There's probably a lot more of that out there.
