They're gonna task some random O-5 with a small team to do some sketches and some diagrams and a couple papers to appease him, and drag it out and slow roll it up til 2029, this isn't gonna go anywhere

Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.

I also want to add that every single time ICE has physically hurt me, they have grabbed me by my chest. Most of my femme friends have said the same. I will not be surprised if / when we find out about twisted sexual assaults conducted by ICE agents with these gloves.

Imagine a world where Donald Trump doesn't go into politics and ruin the world, instead he spends all his money funding awesome ass Broadway and musical performances, like a modern day Carnegie- too bad Obama made a joke at a roast and Trump got super offended
Allegedly Joel@allegedlyjoel.bsky.social · 17h agoThere's a whole alternate timeline where GWB becomes commissioner of baseball in 1997 ish, and things get different There's also a timeline where DJT realizes hes probably bisexual and loves musical theater and just funds that shit instead of doing whatever he has done
so glad I've always hated this asshole and great job as usual NY Times!
"meep meep ass location" i cannot breathe omfg 💀
we have gone from george w bush serving up the troops into the meat grinder of iraq to donald trump telling the navy to go fuck itself, and the dems sit on their hands for most of it.
According to Similarweb (the source cited for this data), ~27% of Threads' alleged half a billion monthly active users came from Taiwan (or ~135M people) Taiwan's actual population is ~23 million
Christopher Mims@mims.bsky.social · 4d agoSo I guess either Bluesky becomes a nonprofit or we all start sharing our Threads handles on here…?
Yeah, see, the thing is, a lot of them didn’t. Survive, that is.
Incredible stuff from Cards Against Humanity, who is now building a monument to interfere with SpaceX.
I am not the first to make this point but imagine a woman president obsessing constantly over her “ballroom” as the economy imploded and her war spun out of control
before i became a parent i’d always roll my eyes at people who insisted that their kid was getting larger over time, but now i get it. my kid is almost two years old now and i would bet money that he’s bigger than he was when he was born

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.
Before reimagining development data, remember what we’ve learned
Why we’re publishing a free, searchable, and ungated archive featuring a quarter-century of USAID evaluation reports.

Once upon a time I was falling apart, now I'm falling further apart. There's nothing I can do, I've totally fallen apart
i still see reactionaries say we need a “reckoning” over woke 1 and i truly don’t know what they mean at this point. the right is firmly in power and we get 2 articles a week bemoaning the excesses of wokeness. what else are you looking for?
Yeah this is just false, nobody cut any spending and murders didn't spike
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 4d agoyeah not really though
I usually try to explain it like this: picture Cornell West as William Shatner. Now imagine they're Israeli. Doesn't look so much like the fall of the 3rd republic was caused by paypigs fucking a couch now, does it?
If you’re tempted by the “AI summaries are just modern CliffsNotes” argument, please remember that CliffsNotes were written and edited by people who got paid to be accurate, not built on stolen data and extruded through a LLM that doesn’t know what truth is.
