Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

Because what you are saying, what bluesky's admins have been saying all along, is that this is essentially a private clubhouse for a small number of brainrotted silicon valley animals, and fuck you if you don't like the smell.

You can't be branding large numbers of accounts as "rude" and defaulting to hiding their posts, suspending people aggressively on tenuous interpretations of posts, and then with the other side of your mouth "well if you're so bothered about transphobia you're welcome to Do Your Own Moderation"

And of course bluesky continues to have the fundamental problem which is that it's a heavily moderated "pleasant" space on the subjects that the admins care about (ie, no one can be mean to their dipshit friends or their dipshit chatbots) but it's the wild west otherwise.

More generally I think the aggressive conflation of criticism with harassment, and then of harassment with violent threats, is pretty irresponsible to be engaging in. I think whining about lack of resources when you haven't even *acknowledged* problems users care about it pretty pathetic.

"If advocates for higher education want to regain public trust, they might start with better publicizing this fact" When we accept the reality that public tuition prices have been decreasing, it clarifies the options available for lots of higher ed policy problems www.chalkbeat.org/2026/10/01/w...

The surprising truth about those soaring college tuition prices

Most students don’t actually pay that much, and real tuition costs have been falling.

The Leather Archives is an awesome place in Chicago in which I have taken many a friend to learn about kink, BDSM, and leather culture. I could spend approximately 900 years in their library full of erotic texts. Supporting their rebuild goes to a great cause for a very unique museum!

The midterm results we're in for won't be the result of those Trump voters having their come-to-Jesus moment and suddenly manifesting empathy and social responsibility. It'll be because they stayed home on election day, stewing in their resentment, declaring everyone on the ballot an unworthy RINO.

And the same way no one likes to admit they sent a Nigerian prince $500 to unlock his bank account: those voters are fucking embarrassed. Angry and embarrassed. Not willing to admit fault, but definitely willing to pretend they no longer care about politics. Pizzagate/Qanon was fun. This isn't.

The crux of recent right-wing propaganda is that billionaires are on the side, morally and socially, of the white Christian working class. And when they were elected, they ignored the Epstien files, looted the government, and doubled the price of eggs and gas while laughing. Ha ha! Gotcha!

Trump hasn't dropped in popularity cuz millions of Americans went "Wait a minute... you're a FASCIST!!!" and recoiled in disgust. It's cuz he doesn't make them feel good, anymore. And that was the whole point. They feel poorer, ignored, and bamboozled. The shitlibs were right. That's embarrassing.

Yep Ppl don't have to be persuaded to accept fascism. If it makes them feel good, if they aren't the outgroup suffering under it? They'll handwave literally anything associated with it, if not fully enjoy it. The only reason the Taliban is floundering now is EVERYONE is suffering, not just women.

Lately I've been ruminating on accountability and how patriarchy is designed to help men avoid it. Knowing a lot of men feel a sense of powerlessness, but they don't seem to know/want to understand that accountability is actually empowering. Nothing can be improved without it.

If I hear him say "up at levels we've never done before" again . . . IDK. Add that to "by a lot." Does this make sense? "you know, nothing's happened for the last two weeks, right? And somebody drops a bomb, and nothing happens, and they drop a bomb. No, I think that you'll find out what I'm doing."
