The technological solution to racist policing being abused by the police until it becomes publicly untenable is a particular type of dark irony.
404 Media@404media.co · 7h agoNEW: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to determine that a man “travels to Michigan frequently,” where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisconsin, where it is illegal. They then used his travel across state lines as tracked by Flock as part of the probable cause justification to search his car.
Generally not great when a live entertainment company recently found guilty of acting as a monopoly has control of any music journalism outlet
Fuck live nation and fuck veeps, who are owned by Good Charlotte's The Madden Brothers, who can also go fuck themselves.
Leor Galil@imleor.bsky.social · 8h ago“Music publications BrooklynVegan, Alternative Press, Revolver, and Goldmine have been gutted by parent company Veeps... Nearly all the staff at each publication appear to have been laid off yesterday. Veeps, which is now owned by Live Nation, acquired the publications in 2024 or 2025”

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 21h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

I think we should have moreno and miller do pistols at dawn and maybe we'll get lucky and they'll just take care of each other and that's 2 folks we never have to hear from again.
I wish I was in whatever reality these dumb motherfuckers are. Where are eggs and milk that cheap? GTFO
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayTom Emmer on Republicans trailing Dems by 8 points in the generic ballot: "Right now there are great things happening in our economy. Nobody wants to talk about 78 cent eggs, nobody wants to talk about milk that's under $2. No no. They want to focus on gas prices."
That is much closer to what the AGs wanted as opposed to Paramount’s request for a November trial date. It also places the Ellisons perilous close to the June must-close date. If this has to go through appeals following a bad ruling for Paramount, you could see Warner just demand its $7b kill fee.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
These fools breathe and make $200 million. Maybe give up your yachts/planes/etc and give more of your wealth.

Hey @phishatmsg.bsky.social, you going to lunch soon? 🤣🤣🤣🎟🎟🎟🐠🐠🐠
If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.
Aren't you the guys who tried to stop him from getting elected? 🖕
Democrats@democrats.org · 2d agoHUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever.

Ok well apparently I had a lot to say & I will be sending out a newsletter about it all tomorrow but I can’t pretend any of it will be very professional bc I’m mad and tired
Frankie de la Cretaz@thefrankiedlc.news · 2d agoThis is the WNBA & Indiana Fever’s fault. This is from XX XY Athletics’ IG account—that’s Sophie Cunningham with Riley Gaines & Jennifer Sey. The worst transphobes. I haven’t written about it bc it’s gutting how unprepared the league was for this & now we have explicit hate visible at games.
That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.
So @toni.bsky.team is saying he wants the Nazis here, he's opening the bar to the Nazis. That sucks.
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
slowly losing all hope of this happening
Bryan Lasky@boneydiego.bsky.social · 6d agoIf anyone here has some connections to publications that might be a) interested in some kind of coverage from Field of Vision (the king gizz festival in denver) and b) has some kind of a budget, I'd very much appreciate any kind of connection to them.
Americans absolutely cannot handle minor personal inconvenience, unless it has been sold to us as “freedom.” The correct response to necessary lockdowns was “our very rich government should pay us all to stay home” but instead a bunch of people went with “I must dine out and it’s tyranny if I can’t”
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 3d agoit’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy
It continues to fuck me up that we stay thinking about 9/11 but want to memory hole Covid so bad we're destroying the entire concept of public health in the US.
![In the United States, there have been 103,436,829[3] confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 1,238,563[3] confirmed deaths, the most of any country, and the 17th highest per capita worldwide.[43] The COVID-19 pandemic ranks as the deadliest disaster in the country's history.[44] It was the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2020, behind heart disease and cancer.[45] From 2019 to 2020, U.S. life expectancy dropped by three years for Hispanic and Latino Americans, 2.9 years for African Americans, and 1.2 years for White Americans.[46] In 2021, U.S. deaths due to COVID-19 rose,[47] and life expectancy fell.[48]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ty2kxmxjmtealqi2kc7f4pww/bafkreiej6o22cdapxm6lj3rgrrznhhijzm5kpcjmvscemg2g7vg4tzm7na)
why is this such a complicated thing for people to understand
Jemele Hill@jemelehill.bsky.social · 3d agoThe WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.
