I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Can't tell if BlueSky is under attack, broken from vibe coding, or if it hates me. The truth is: probably all three.

@aoc.bsky.social Speaking as a random Canadian, we're struggling against MAGA, too, and very much appreciate your efforts. I believe our countrywide boycott of everything American would disappear as quickly as it emerged, if You got things back under control.

Well, I'll be damned. I wonder if this is true? Sounds not implausible.

In a streamer's live playthrough of The Curse of Monkey Island, a chatter Silent_Fenris says: I forget how "Threepwood" came about, but the name "Guybrush" came from his sprite's filename. He was designed before being named, so they just saved it as "guy" and the program added the extension ".brush". Somehow, that stuck.

Speaking out against Russia or Israel can be toxic for online reach and visibility at the best of times. Taking on both at once? Downright radioactive. ☢️ But someone has to get the ball rolling.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

Elon Musk is flying under the radar in the Texas Senate race. Republicans want to keep it that way.

One Republican involved in the Texas Senate contest called Musk’s in-your-face campaigning in Wisconsin last year “a mis

If I had the ability to create any new technology and rewrite society with it, I would create an "arguing not in good faith" detector. Every politician, regardless of affilitation, would be required to strap into that thing for every public discourse.

If I could find ONE thing to pin most or all of humanity's problems to, it would: a catastrophic insufficiency of eye contact. It's MUCH more difficult to cheat, take more than your share away from, deny benefits to, hurt, or outright murder a person, when you've had to look them in the eye, first.

Modern society has traumatized me to the point that when I watch that particular brand of horror film where people are kidnapped and wake up in a supposed utopia, but that hides a deep, dark secret, I can't help but think to myself how lucky the kidnappees are. At least they were utopia briefly.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.
