it's a death cult, and if the only ones they were killing were themselves, that would be fine.

This man might go to prison for allegedly wiping his phone before DHS officials could search it. No warrant for the phone, no specific claim of what 'evidence' might be on it. But he used a duress/wipe password, leading to the charge Watch more and subscribe here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmik...
One of the saddest things that Kids Today won't get to hear? Impassioned warnings about the dangers of halogen torchiere lamps, and how those pillars of plasma will straight up BURN YOUR SHIT DOWN if you so much as avert your gaze for a *second*. No, now you have LEDs & LCDs and lighting is safe. 😔
These guys got rich during the worst era for music in my lifetime, playing in a specific sub-genre that was absolute dog shit. One of the worst bands I’ve ever heard with no redeeming qualities

At the time, medical authorities said "If any of this works, it'll look like we overreacted," and yep, here we are.
Jonathan Howard@joho.bsky.social · 3h agoMAGA/MAHA sycophants now claim that because mitigation measures worked 6 years ago, this is proof they were unnecessary. The stupid, it burns.
Republicans didn’t take long to get the open bigotry going
This is 💯 not true. It is never a choice between ‘taking big tech’s money and doing nothing’. A stronger moral imperative is NOT to take the money and the strings attached to it - particularly if you do not and cannot yet understand the implications
Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 6h ago“Teaching educators about AI is a ‘moral imperative’, said Randi Weingarten, the AFT president.” “And without outside funding, it was a choice between taking big tech’s money or doing nothing, she said.”
This doesn't include government spending so it's actually about half the estimated oer household cost calculated by Moody's. Either way, the price is going up.
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 17h agoBrown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu
In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname
lol Politico trying to meme themselves with that “not the night progressives wanted” with a picture of the progressive who got wildly outspent and still won decisively
I’m telling you this as a political scientist. The person who is electable is the one who is elected. This can and does change over time. Any and all speculation about “electability” is either puffery or anxiety and is often both.
Julia Azari@juliaazari.bsky.social · 15h agoOne way to be safe is to never write an electability take
The “I’m Your Man” cover in the middle appears because Jonny Douglas (amazing producer on Fastlove) recorded a cover of it with Lisa Moorish originally which George heard and liked. That’s how they ended up working together on Fastlove

Many people don't know the best single that George Michael ever released, or rather the best _version_ of his best single ever: the Fully Extended Mix of Fastlove Part II. At 3:55, he introduces a new verse, soon his vocoder shows up, and then we're off to the races. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP6O...

The GOP goes on about protecting women in sports and then goes on to protect Max Miller.
I wonder if he has such pointed questions for his daughter’s abuser, Rep Max Miller.

In a conference call hosted by the White House Faith Office on July 30 with thousands of religious leaders around the country, Blanche said he was committed to achieving policy solutions so that the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision “becomes permanent in every single state.”

are there any better open source/federated/etc alternative to airtable?
