Historian friend was reading a civil war era letter in an archive, the letter said “In this envelope I include my smallpox scabs” and sure enough there they were. Had to call CDC for a hazmat team.

We raised our expectations of Matilda to one gold egg a month, she unfortunately did not achieve that goal. The farmer says one gold egg a year is the most realistic and sustainable pace. So today we’re gutting Matilda. We know the gold eggs are in there somewhere.

The billionaire lifestyle is unnatural and dangerous. It leads to moral decay, flies in the face of family values, and has been known to encourage criminal activity. Billionaires are a sexual threat to our children. Their agenda must be stopped. I’m not a bigot, I am merely Spender Critical.

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

Mech pilot who's had enough getting her ass handed to her by that damned local kaiju babe who told her "it takes 2 to tango" as she blew a kiss that vaporized her frame's ammo storage. 300 sim hours later, she's sweeping that monster off her paws in a ravishing display of mechanised ballroom dance

Reagan is one of history's greatest monsters for a multitude of reasons, but did you know he tried to exterminate trans people in the 80s too? Reagan's presidency invited Janice Raymond to author policy that stripped anyone who accessed trans healthcare of access to federal health insurance...

So, just a thought that came up in conversation last night: If prisoners in the US are allowed to be compelled to work "as a punishment for crime" under the 13th Amendment, and we then transport those prisoners to work camps in other countries, the US is engaging in international slave trade.

Oof. Hey @boozybadger.bsky.social how bad is it when a judge tells a lawyer, "Listen, I'm not saying that *you* did anything wrong, I recognize that the case you're bringing is blatantly against the law and you had the obligation to make the best arguments you could to support that case."

Alsupp: I want to be clear I don't think counsel for the government has done anything dishonorable. You're doing the best you can with the case you got. Thank you for your service. (That, btw, is a fantastic and immediate de-fanging of an inevitable recuse-for-bias argument) And it's done.
