Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I saw a car with a Trump/Vance sticker on their car in Capitol Hill and was wondering why there were here. … this is why. Fascists love fascists

The damn SPD goon squad has yet again attacked and brutalized Seattle residents to protect racist, anti-trans, homophobic agitators from out of town. Why do we let Bruce Harrell and Sara Nelson use this violence? From @hannahkrieg.bsky.social www.tiktok.com/t/ZTj9f9dur/

I'm not completely against LLMs, I use them almost every day. But why would I ever want one to create a video or especially music or art for me?

One of the best things about music, art, and cinematography is that a human made it. The time and effort and thought that went into it is what adds meaning to it.

Horrifying. Disappearing and targeting students with legal status over peaceful political speech is unconstitutional and a clear violation of due process and free speech. Another blatant act of authoritarianism by the Trump Administration. Rumeysa must be released.

A video shared with GBH News shows Ozturk walking as several people in plain clothes with their faces covered walk nearby. A man in a hoodie approaches her, then grabs her wrists. Ozturk screams, then asks “Can I call the police?” before being told “We’re the police.” @gbhnews.bsky.social

As someone who loves traveling and never has anxiety flying, this administration has changed that

In this last month I have made the mental transition from "air travel is very safe" to "at least it would be a relatively quick way to go"

The Venn diagram of people who think Hozier’s Take Me To Church, Hallelujah, and Madonna’s chorus Like A Prayer are pro Christianity AND people who think Kendrick’s halftime show was patriotic? A circle.

Wired seems to be the only news publication pushing back on this insanity

SCOOP: We've learned at least three individuals closely associated with Palantir or its cofounder Peter Thiel were involved in an online recruiting effort for DOGE late last year. Step inside the recruitment effort that helped build Elon's DOGE army:

I went on xitter to see if maybe I would be pleasantly surprised about the discourse of Beyonce winning best Country Album at the Grammys and I, of course, was not surprised by what I saw

If you can work your way past the typos, this nimby flier has some helpful information for contacting your elected representatives to let them know you support more housing on Queen Anne. (Sara Nelson’s number is actually 206-684-8809).

On the one hand, banning right on red is a proven way to save lives and reduce injuries. On the other hand, drivers are delayed by a few seconds. So it’s impossible to say if it’s good or not.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.
