I refuse to believe that some of you degenerates call "hosey" (let alone "high hosey")

Going just by this description what percentage of the vote would you think this monster gets?

My favorite part about this test was that swapping between "yard sale" and "garage sale" (both work) moves me from 57% Boston to 57% jersey (I lived both places growing up)
Elizabeth Picciuto@epicciuto.bsky.social · 11h agoEvery few years, I realize that I’m talking to you guys like you’re normal people, but you don’t pronounce the extremely obvious distinctions between Mary, merry, and marry.
It's only after Final Final USE THIS ONE walks out that we notice the toilet paper stuck to her shoe.
if companies see that democrats will punish them for abetting Trump-like figures, they will be more cautious about going all-in on someone who will disappear in 4-8 years
we are going to have to do this with the military too. Senior leadership that went along with things like murdering hundreds of randos in boats have to be publicly made examples of
No dogpiling, but y'all can just go ahead and add @heddywinters.bsky.social to your blocklists for antisocial people who make this site worse.
Someone's gonna need to explain to me why artists care if editing software was coded with AI
Resharc@reshar.cc · 2d agothe whole paint.net debacle is an interesting microcosm of a wider problem in software engineering, where developers seem to have no interaction with their users or put any effort into understanding them, and end up being surprised when they piss them off
Look, they didn't rebrand it the Department of *Winning* Wars.
Just do it while standing in front of a "mission accomplished" banner

You know, if Apple & Google are committing themselves to simply adopt GNIS names, there's no reason for the next president not to direct GNIS to rename Lake Worth Lagoon (on which Mar-a-Lago sits) to The Rapist and Traitor Donald Trump Lagoon
Not just state and local governments. Individual store owners
Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social · 2d agoAs with so much else, standing has been a hurdle for attempts to stop the illegal Trump coins. But something state and local governments could do is say they won't accept them as legal tender, because they aren't legal. Let some jackass sue you over it.
NGL this sculpture doesn't do anything for me
Dannagal Goldthwaite Young@dannagal.bsky.social · 2d agoToday might be a useful day to remember that cultural conservatives tend to score lower in appreciation for abstract art - something that researchers have found can be attributed (at least in part) to the lower tolerance for ambiguity that tends to accompany such political views. wapo.st/4dgXPDA
I only had to block 3 people in the replies, better than I expected
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 3d agoThe replies to this are sociopathic. A young woman was stabbed to death in public! So many people on the internet have paper-thin politics that are just an excuse to create an out-group against whom violence is permitted; it’s a coin-flip whether the group is “professionals” or “immigrants”.
Also - the answer is yes. Yes, it's fucking fair. Because that's the definition of the job you signed up to do
Caroline Baxter@convergingriskslab.bsky.social · 3d ago"I have been asked by some retired officers if it is fair to expect a senior military leader to stand up to or refuse to accept an immoral, unethical or illegal order from the president or the secretary of defense... But fairness is irrelevant." www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/o...
This kind of reaction from mainstream Israeli military and political leaders is all too rare and much more is needed, but it's something. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/31/w...
These Generals Fought for Israel. Now They See ‘Jewish Terrorism’ as the Threat.
A growing number of former Israeli generals, intelligence officials and prime ministers are accusing settlers in the West Bank of committing ethnic cleansing with government support. “Once a society b...

Over under on how long I'll need to wait for Sean to explain what agreement he thinks he's talking about? (we're on 7 hours and counting)
Sean@titaniumman91.bsky.social · 4d ago"A state should honor their agreements" is just about the lowest bar imaginable, no double standard needed. If Israel wants to renegotiate better access for people of Jewish faith, they can do that, but they can't unilaterally change it.
When JD's right, he's right. No reason to bring his couch into this

I really wish my fellow gentiles would read comments like the ones we’re discussing here and understand “this is someone speaking from a perspective of generational trauma of extermination and persecution, and it’s our job collectively to prove this viewpoint wrong rather than asking ppl to shut up”
