cats_hell_yeah@catshellyeah.bsky.social · 4h agoIt's her way of flexing her power. Today she said "well the style guide says you have to call the item X". Ma'am that thing was the whole point of the parties' contract, there's not a single document in the record that calls it that, & the parties don't either. I'm not. Fucking. Changing it.

Robert Evans (the Only Robert Evans)@iwriteok.bsky.social · 11h agoThis is what the growth of surveillance is going to bring. Not safety from crime, but new, non-criminal acts redefined as criminal so as to give the police an excuse to exercise power. local12.com/news/offbeat...

Flood Czar@floodczar.bsky.social · yesterdayName change He was a stray from the King George Animal Shelter and a older fella. The vet said 8 plus. His jail name is/was, McKinley. I was going to call him Mac, until I came up with Biggie Paws, Biggie for short. It fits him. At the dog park today.
My issue with this dude is not that he appears to be a wealthy socialist. My issue is the dude's lack of honesty, at least according to public records and his "neighbors". That kind of shit is disqualifying in EVERY politician.
Malcolm P. Johnson@admiralmpj.bsky.social · 3d agoWhen the Times this month profiled Mr. Gordillo, who studied fine arts at Yale, the reporter asked him where he lived. The question was relevant, in part, because many of the high-profile activists are the offspring of affluent parents: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/22/n...
"Less conducive to lawsuits...they leave no burn marks or scars" In other words, they make it harder for the victim to prove they were tortured. I can't even believe what I just read. This might be the only acceptable reason to wear those meta glasses, so you've got video proof
Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 3d agoDespite warnings from human rights groups that electric-shock gloves like the kind ICE plans to purchase are “readily misused for torture,” police departments, jails, and even school resource officers across the country have been using them for years.

Scott Lemieux@lemieuxlgm.bsky.social · 2w agoThe "don't criticize Mister Trump for the war being a disaster" argument makes exactly as much sense as saying that it was attacking Nixon and Kissinger "from the right" if you said they gained nothing in negotiations from bombing Cambodia that wasn't available in January 1969

For 2 days I've been moving shit from one frame to another, one spot to another, & hammering endless nails into a wall that must be solid something. I'm over the nail hammering. On the fence about that mirror. I wanted this project done during my week off. Started it in 2020. May add some shit
there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 2mo agowhat a fucking asshole
Misogyny got us trump in 2016 and again in 2024 and I wish the platner defenders on bluesky would take a vow of silence for a few days and reflect on that
1. This will have a much more negative impact on the accuser's life than Platner's 2. Even if for no other reason, since accusations of sexual assault typically ruin accusers' lives, you should start by presuming credibility absent specific reason for doubt (in contexts other than criminal justice)
Gungajin@gungajin.bsky.social · 2mo agoMost civilised countries do have a legal principle of "innocent until proven guilty" Being accused of rape doesn't make one a rapist. It may be true - or not Being found guilty of rape in a court of law, does. Imagine a world where a simple accusation is enough to destroy someone's career Ooops
When Alfie sneezes his head turns into a lightly toasted marshmallow
Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 6mo agoOne of Jim's other great skills is sneezing. This is Jim, about 1/3 of the way through one of his sneezes, which are always explosive and, like him, large. This particular sneeze was not detonated in Jim's ideal sneeze environment, which is when he has his face under four inches from mine.
