Hey CFDA, Vogue: A) the project is filled with a whole bunch of AI bullshit and B) you couldn't hire a copy editor, proofreader, fact checker, another set of eyes, someone whose attention span lasts through the headline to the first sentence?
Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

Just searched the database for Minnesota and then nixed it to fuck with us. Beginning to wonder why we're sending federal tax money to Washington at all.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2w agoLast year, the Trump administration delayed a $10 million grant that was supposed to help Minnesota thin out about 4,000 acres of dense, dry forest at high risk of burning. Most of that work never got started.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social RESIGN. You are clearly NOT up to the job of defending democracy, maybe 30 yrs ago when you started in Congress; you are WILDLY out of your depth now. I beg you, for the good of the country. Shocking, as you've had an elected office since you were 23.
Aman Batheja@amanbatheja.bsky.social · 4mo agoNew: A surge in calls among Democrats to pursue Trump’s impeachment is hitting a wall with party leaders, who believe it will distract from their midterm focus on costs and corruption, according to interviews with over a dozen Democrats. Some also view 25th Amendment as a nonstarter
Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥
this point from flannery can’t be emphasized enough. we know how MPD with all their guns and badges refused to respond to ICE even harassing children while every day people with only whistles and phones stood up to them, as our mayor played hero for a national audience while not being in the streets

One guess as to which is the only major company that manufacturers routers in the US (Texas). (Hint: man-child, drug-addled, South African owner) www.pcmag.com/news/fcc-jus...
The FCC Just Banned the Sale of New Wi-Fi Router Models Made Outside US
The surprising order means any new Wi-Fi router models sold in the country must be US-made, or receive an exemption from the Pentagon or Homeland Security Department.

The word "rage" does not begin to cover it. The phrase "we told you so" does not begin to cover it. These people are murdering for fun and the best we got for our warnings was being snidely eyerolled at on Twitter and in real life. And the ones who rolled their eyes will mostly be fine. We won't.
Musa Okwonga@okwonga.bsky.social · 5mo agoAlong with countless other people I have spent well over ten years warning of what would happen if governments ever fell into the hands of truly unhinged white supremacists, only for the most part to be laughed off and ignored, and now we have to spend the next few decades living in their world.
