Musk calls for the assassination of a reporter who embarrassed him with basic questions
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 2w agoThere is simply no ambiguity in what Elon Musk is arguing and endorsing here.
Nothing says “I don’t need a therapist” like waking up at 4 am to think of sick burns for the next time my Dad says something insulting
Quiet is highly overrated May I recommend occasionally shouting for fun? It’s never a bad time to yell “god damn that’s a big spider!”
Yep we need to die in this hill. Intentionally misgendering someone is transphobic, doing to repeatedly in a workplace is harassment.
Dan Sohege@danielsohege.bsky.social · 2w agoGood. Look, if it is a genuinely honest error, most people I know, including myself, aren't going to make a fuss beyond maybe a gentle clarification first time. If people wilfully misgender trans and non-binary individuals though they absolutely should face misconduct proceedings.
Potentially fun prompt: What was the first piece of music you bought for yourself knowing your parents wouldn't approve? Mine was "The Downward Spiral." Picked up cassette on a trip to a Dewey Beach music store. Had heard "Closer" on MTV (where the "fucks" were muted) and wanted in.
A man who is ineligible to be President is President. SCOTUS is acting as a wing of the Republican Party. ICE and CBP have been converted into openly partisan paramilitary units, sent, by the President's own words, to terrorize "Democrat cities" and "Democrat communities" How about shut the fuck up

Had a midlife crisis, got a second dog It worked out pretty well
David Michael Brouillette is alleged to have done this you say?
Bruno J. Navarro@brunojnavarro.bsky.social · 3w agoThe federal immigration agent who shot and killed a 26-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford has been identified as David Michael Brouillette. Brouillette, who is 37 and lives in Manchester, was identified by an ex-wife as the ICE agent who shot Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.
the tl;dr of Trump roomba theory is that Trump has a selected set of brainworms that his brain prioritizes until he hits a roadblock, at which point his staffers and his brain go off in another direction
Sharon 🪳🌹@sharonk.bsky.social · 3w agoi think roomba theory is basically correct on Trump
sometimes you get two bags of chips out of the vending machine I guess
A values system that views Pete Buttigieg’s time at McKinsey as disqualifying, but Graham Platner’s time at Blackwater as not, has beclowned itself regardless of the subsequent scandals.
I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.
Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her
The Maine Democrat denied the allegations and said, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”

“I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me,” she said. “I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, ‘This is no longer my choice.’”
