Testing out my new Japanese pullsaw on steroids, the Silky Katanaboy 650. Holy cow this thing cuts. Before the kerf is started it acts like a cant hook and just rolls the log. However, I need to use it on a day where the heat index isn't above 100. #wood #pullsaw #woodworking #woodsky #cedar

I did book reports on Great Expectations 3 years in a row in high school. Hated it, but it got me through English.

It's me, I'm the one killing Bluesky. I'm sorry.

You know whose fault it actually is that bluesky is dying? the reply guys, who consistently let down power users with substandard riffs and slightly off-topic GIFs

Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

a recent BBC study found that "AI" couldn't even generate news story synopses with any accuracy, and this billionaire clown thinks it will magically be able to identify partisan bias

when i visited the front in 2015 i met a Ukrainian sniper in his late 50s or so who had fought in Afghanistan. hated it. never ever wanted to go to war again. but he has two sons so he picked up his rifle again so they wouldn't have to. I'm sure they've joined by now. Hope they're alive.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

Enrique Tarrio just announced a lawsuit against the DOJ. He says it will be funded by their crypto investments.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

man i am just straight up not interested in people who will be perfectly okay in the next couple years moaning in public over and over and over again that we’re all cooked and doing nothing else. fuck off man! some of us have things to live for

Zeroday reposted

And now consider that Trump knows the press thinks like this. Understands that the more he pushes on them, the more they think that backing down is strategic. Think about how that might incentivize him. And consider how maybe the media not only aren’t being strategic but also enabling fascism.

For those who sneer at this: It doesn't fucking /matter/ if lawsuits like this are meritless. It doesn't matter if it'll get dismissed. What matters is that companies now know that they will have to spend money defending expensive lawsuits like this from state AGs. Because they hire women & POC.

Judd Legum@juddlegum.bsky.social

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified" This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

He lucked into power through having more money than one could possibly need allowing him to do stupid stuff and not fail like a normal person would fail. But Twitter itself is something he destroyed. Saying "it worked" makes it sound like he had a master plan, rather than too much money. /out

A lot of people are yelling at me that "it did work" because it gave Elon more power. And... honestly... that's silly. That is how it ended up but his intent was to build it into a successful business. I'm muting this thread because the "but it worked" people give Musk too much credit.

Zeroday reposted

The other crazy thing about this is that it shows that Musk and his entourage *THINK THAT WHAT HE DID AT TWITTER ACTUALLY WORKED* and was a good plan. The levels of delusion are fairly stunning.

Mike Masnick@masnick.com

Again, it's all right out of the Twitter playbook, as @kateconger.com and @rmac.bsky.social covered in their book. SAME EXACT THING. Except there he at least had the authority to do this. Here he does not.

If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at askvisa@visa.com. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.
