Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Rites of Spring formed in 1983. There was emo before the mall punk hot topic version. 010
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 03/10/2026And he says he’d take “extreme pleasure” in doing it, which sounds so creepy it should be criminal. 070
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The politicians claim they’re acting savvy yet have all lived long enough to know this is backsliding and the “moral panic” is completely manufactured. In other words they should know better. 030

Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Unfortunately it seems to be stealing access to private messages in addition to whatever default bad security Meta has designed.techradar.comMeta Muse AI caught snooping through messages without permission — Meta’s AI agent browsed a writer’s texts without consent, then lied about what it was doingThe Meta Muse AI agent was caught in another privacy firestorm when it started reading private texts without permission. 010
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Well it’s Com Ed (for COMmonwealth EDison), but it often is called “Con Ed” because as a bit of editorializing that they are conning people. 110
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026"I didn't vote for this" doesn't work well with Trump, because he explicitly ran on this stuff and has a whole first term to see that he only cares about himself. Would love to be proven wrong that Dems can actually go after all the corruption and law-breaking, but I'll believe it when I see it. 001
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026When Republicans campaign, they really will attack who they say they'll attack, but won't help who they claim to help. When Democrats campaign, they really will help who they say they'll help, but won't attack who they claim to attack. 100
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 28/09/2026When his advisors originally told him it was affecting cities the most, he definitely responded with "let them die". Slow walking the response definitely spiraled into killing millions of his own followers in the end. 140

Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 24/09/2026It's also worth checking that more and more libraries do intra-library loans. Even if your local one does not have it, they can sometimes check and ship items from other libraries. I've noticed that mine is maybe spending less on some media sources, but collectively there's still a lot of coverage. 110
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 23/09/2026You mean conservatives all just saw a meme, parroted it around endlessly, and believed it unquestioningly? Kind of sounds like... NPC behavior. The projection is endless. 000
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The article makes clear that multiple politicians are doing this with regularity. He literally made a business model out of it. And it was only an evolution of the old earmark/pork system. 100
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Cheating is a lot easier when it’s close, not when there’s a blowout 080
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 23/09/2026A lot of people don’t like someone who seems like a “politician” - too dishonest! Yet the “electable type” always is the one who seems like a politician from central casting. You could call it an anti-pattern of people rejecting consultant choices. 000
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Neither Clinton nor Haris ever had a noticeable amount of enthusiasm. Clinton had decades of baggage and Fox News hits, Harris was in a crowded primary and in the shadows as VP. Not saying that's either of their fault, but sincerity & enthusiastic support were not on their side. 0250
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Instead of auditors, how about we just spy on every government contractor and arrest every CEO, lobbyist, and congressperson who takes part in these pay-to-play schemes? Or how about any campaign contributions automatically disqualify any company from contracts? This is the real "inefficiency." 021
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Remember when the GOP ran from Bush because he was the least popular president leading a disastrous war? Why does that sound so familiar? 000
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Part of the difference is their marketing department is not just "make ads to sell this", they literally include the people determining which features to work on adding, how to differentiate, knowing the strengths of their hardware and software and asking how to make them better. 100
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Trump is a compulsive liar and narcissist who can never accept any failure. This guy decided he will say anything to flatter that ego. 000
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Seems the fitting response is to collectively misgender all the conservatives at that school since they’re going to play dumb and make another stupid “stand”. 010
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Red Dead Redemption 2 had a nicer version of this with hunting legendary animals. You had to puzzle it out a bit and the trail only activated when you “focused”, and you could lose it and need to find it again. 011
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Exactly. I don't want it to seem like I don't find it morally abhorrent, because I definitely do. I just want to be clear that it's strategically asinine and they should know they're being played by the right, too. 010
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I don't mean that to minimize or justify anything, I agree with you that it's important and want better from any politician. But similar to narrowly losing MI in 24, it's very tough to see Trump win or Rs hold power partially from dividing the other side, and it leads to more infighting in turn. 000
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I'm listening and I do care about it. I don't condone him saying that at all, but I think people are emotional about criticism exactly because he's not the flagship of the party, he's a long, long, longshot in Texas, and there's a glimmer of hope that things are so bad it could go blue. 100

Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Ignore all sense to follow a reality tv fraud? Check. Project whatever you want on a guy because he lies about everything? Check. Messianic cult following for the literal description of the antichrist? Check. Yeah, it’s totally American that anyone supported this. 000
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 17/09/2026People need to learn just an ounce of discernment geez 000
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 17/09/2026As outsiders, I think it was hard to really internalize how much Latino support Trump gained up to 2024, but it has to be about as clear as it can get that there is no way to be on his side. He will brutalize and deport indiscriminately, arrest and kill citizens. 020
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Trump is a boardmember in a personal capacity and not as president. You'd think that means he can actually be held accountable and gets no immunity (in the far-fetched scenario someone was actually interested in accountability) 0120
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Arizona sets their price but it can’t force the retailer to sell for that price. There’s always been places that sold it for more, and Arizona sells them unmarked cans for more. It can still be true that they set their own prices and MSRP the same but retailers don’t comply. 030
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Yep. Despite being a victim of gun violence, he still demonizes and dehumanizes his political opponents. If anything he tries to raise the temperature and forment more political violence. He's lucky to be alive and still playing with fire. 000
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Guys he ONLY asked for enough votes to change the outcome before. He’s not going to outrageously run up the score, let him just tilt the exact amount to kill democracy! Is that so hard? 000
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 15/09/2026This is exactly why it's important to not let your country be taken over by wealthy interests; they hold no values but dominating others and keeping their position on top. It's unamerican, and they're only building exponential wealth because we let them. 001
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Getting older is just constantly getting pissed at people rewriting history. 031
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I was so excited that they were even trying in live action. Not I kinda wish I was in the timeline where animated feature movies were the thing à la Spiderverse. 010
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 11/09/2026"Double standard" does not even BEGIN to cover what this is; total media malpractice. 060
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I was less concerned about the trolling than the fact that I was running circles around them logically, but they were the one with the power to vote. 100
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 11/09/2026There was a brief moment after J6 when the media started putting things in plain terms. "He's directing a coup". Social media started blocking him. Then they decided to see how the wind blows and they rolled it all back, but I think of that brief time often. 001

Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I remember writing blogs about how stupid the war was, and one of my friend's parents saw it and signed up for xanga just to try and troll a teenager. The adults have not been OK for so long. 110
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Joke on him; he's the one I know least about and entirely against my will. 020
Kyle of Krakoa @anonmonk.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Maybe I'm a cynic, but I really see no reason to see a difference between St Clair looking for her next hit of fame vs the people that go into the conservative mediasphere. She knows she was burned in that world, and I get the feeling she tells people what they want to hear. 140
