In the days to come, remember who you are & what you stand for—your values, principles & ideals. As an abiding, born & raised Unitarian Universalist, this is what matters to me:

Fractally bad. The more you look, the worse it gets.

Most important to realize is that they're not conservatives. They're reactionaries. Their aim is to completely overturn the international rule of law and have great powers divide the world into areas that they have unlimited control over. They think this is the natural order.

RT if you've never, never ever, ever, had a ChatGPT tab open, period.

Exactly how it works, in the worldview of a Bullshit Artist. Their only reality is whatever they can get away with & convince others to accept. Neither knowing nor caring about any facts, only what they want & what they can say to get it. Reality bends to the will of whoever is most convincing.

If anybody had been putting off seeing the MMT documentary "Finding the Money" with @stephaniekelton.bsky.social, it's up on YouTube as of a few days ago. youtu.be/x3TJFoQWCHA

Re: today's rerun of @waywordradio.org #1617 with a spot about corny nonsense icebreaker questions, a pithy term for them occurred to me: "Dad Koans", as they reminded me Zen koans, of which my favorite is: "How many zen masters does it take to change a light bulb?" [walks away]

This county jail in Florida is supposed to detain immigrants for only up to 72 hours, per DHS. One woman was rebooked 10 times, spending a cumulative 26 days in jail. Read the full story: https://propub.li/4y7RORJ

I always liked how Bill Pascrell put it.

Well, this is rather terrifying. The Hugging Face hack investigation revealed that AI agents at both Open AI and Hugging Face created secret message boards to coordinate and teach each other how to cheat and escape their sandboxes. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/o...

"He was confronted with a series of CAPTCHA screens instructing him to click on all photos with Presbyterians or argon gas." 😆

This is just your reminder that Goth has always been highly political. The choice to PRESENT as Goth alone is a major indictment of mainstream values. So you snowflakes remembering something else lived in a privileged bubble where you let yourself pretend you did not hear the fucking lyrics.

Billions for DHS deportations. Protecting vulnerable kids? Not a priority.

Article copypasta in replies if you hit the paywall here:

Boy he must have really been hoping no one would look at the documents he talked about tonight because they underscore what I've been saying for 6 years, which is that the Trump-Ukraine Scandal was infinitely worse than people thought from the facts revealed during Impeachment #1

"This is in fact what many fascist and proto-fascist governments and movements have looked like. Trumpism looks and sounds and behaves like ur-fascism. It can be unpleasant to see things for what they are."

Great work by Zachary Cohen at CNN.

My ideal solution is not banning teens from large social media platforms but having the sort of regulatory apparatus that makes large social media platforms impossible. Let’s just go back to blogs and niche forum culture.

Worse treatment than prison inmates, for people who haven't even been charged, let alone tried & convicted by due process, for any crime at all

Wilhoit remains undefeated. Double standards are the entire fundamental point of conservatism.

Lots of Dumocrats offended by the Newsom criticism! Good! We need a raucous civil war in the party. Billionaire ass-kickers vs the billionaire ass-kissers. Which side are you on?
