As long as they are maximalist on justice and bringing people who went on a crime spree during this admin to justice, I can forgive a lot. But I also know we won't ever get things back under control until these pedophiles are not in charge, and are not able to get back in charge ever again.
"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux@bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 6h agoI fundamentally do not know how to square the politics whereby Democrats will essentially have to tell the American people that because they (the voters) made an extremely stupid decision, they need to lower their expectations substantially for the foreseeable future, but here we are.
I don't know how they have managed to consistently mix tragedy and comedy like they do, but it is remarkable.

I’m sorry, but there’s just no affirmative case for this company to exist. I get it, groups have used and still use Facebook to organize, etc, but the inherent terribleness of this organization necessitates closing it down completely.
WIRED@wired.com · 6h agoOver the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.
Every time I hear or see Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik’s names I can’t help but think about how Levar Burton was RIGHT THERE.
Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · yesterdayBanks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS
here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

The lack of public seating in the US has gone beyond a public health crisis to being outright embarrassing. Oh yes, all of our old women have to sit on the wet ground if they need a breather, but at least homeless people are uncomfortable! My cheeks are red just thinking of that stupidity.
wishda@wishda.bsky.social · 5d agoThe DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.

If somebody came to one of my writing classes with a novel about a “24-year-old wunderkind” on Wall Street called Leopold Aschenbrenner who graduated from Columbia aged 19, looked and dressed exactly like this, and crashed the stock market, I’d advise them to tone it down a bit

Delilah S. Dawson@delilahsdawson.bsky.social · 5d agoI hate how what I need to do is write books, and yet I keep thinking, "Maybe if I wore increasingly weird glasses and sat in front of my taxidermy with a bubble pipe and did unhinged houseplant reviews I could go viral and sell some books." Doing the work doesn't feel like enough, some days.
Chat, is it good when your business move causes the most important users of your product to 'recoil in horror?' Adobe, I see you with your hand up back there, and you may not answer.

It is in fact racist to call an Arab with views you disagree with an antisemite. I know this will be a surprise to many but unless that person is actually saying something antisemitic, the Arab is not genetically predisposed to antisemitism
This is the writing equivalent of getting a Weird Al parody song made of your hit.

Haley Stephens is growing on me. It started on my skin; then it went into my eye. Now I only want to be high and dry. I will; I must climb. Climb the highest building I can find, and hold my hands to the sky. There to cry, "I dream of Israel!" And I know not why.
I wish I had confidence that this will be handled with care, but virology has become rather secretive and intolerant to criticism at the very same time there are all of these new international gain of function labs being set up in countries where it's not illegal to do very stupid things, so...

we should charge the C-suite with fraud and theft if they take a tax credit meant to keep people employed and then cut staff anyway.
