Man arrested after dressing as Grim Reaper on hospital roof and staring at patients

They were doing this to a Yemeni family I know. Making them come in every 4 weeks just to slap another ankle monitor on someone. Then, 2 weeks ago when they went back, after Yemen’s TPS status was extended, they went “uhh… I guess see you in 2027.”

Brendan Davey@brendandavey.bsky.social · 3d ago

They did this to a student at the college I work at whose check ins I went to. Called them in one day and put an ankle monitor on her father, one month later they called them in again and put an ankle monitor on her mother. Her mother, understandably, was in tears, saying “I’m not a criminal.” 1/

This is wholly unsustainable

an immigration lawyer working on some of these Haitian cases today says an ICE officer told them, re: the ankle monitors: “We’re following our orders.” Direct quote Hm

Every time I hear or see Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik’s names I can’t help but think about how Levar Burton was RIGHT THERE.

*looks over at Jesse Singal* *looks at “BlueSky Trust and Safety”* *remembers what happened then* Yeah, probably.

What are the rules here? If I quote a white person advertising a Substack and lament the fact that white people do not care that the organization aids and platforms white supremacists, will I be suspended too?

Early Scrooge appearances before it was hammered down as to what he was can get *nasty*. Hes still a greedy skinflint but at least in narratives, he can be nuanced Compare him to another enduring but more one-note fictional billionaire, Richie Rich, who is just a sweet rich kid who wants friends.

If Flintheart Glomgold and John Rockerduck didnt exist Scrooge McDuck would be a completely unlikable monster. Even Barks toned him down over time. Hell, he WAS a monster in Italy for years until that version of him was toned down to align with the modern revisions of his personality and backstory

Batman will always be popular because people love the fantasy of pretending a billionaire isn't depraved.

Let me rephrase that: I feel very bad for those who work in the game industry. Not the corporations. The corporations can kick rocks and yes, as much as I absolutely adore Nintendo games that includes them too. No need to cape for something that doesn’t need caping.

I honestly didn’t think that EA could get any worse. Little did I know. I feel very bad for the gaming industry to be honest

The antitrust trial for the Warner Bros/Paramount merger will take place in March 2027. Paramount must begin paying WB shareholders $7M a day on Sept. 30 until the deal is complete.

Yup. I only found out about this by terrible, terrible accident and every time I see the words OneDrive I wanna yeet my laptop into geosynchronous orbit.

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.

Dating apps, social media profiles, signatures I can genuinely think of only TWO PEOPLE I know personally who have them one in their username and arent a complete and total asshat at every given turn

Its kinda wild how seeing a US flag in someone’s profile no matter the app winds up being the most telling red flag ever, 90-95% of the time without fail.

Man, we are about to see some *crazy* panicked attempts at voter suppresion in this state

yall remember the Texas Fox News poll? yeah it’s real. they’re on the money

On the same day that David Ellison claims he's not putting his finger on the scale, there's this: "CBS’s 60 Minutes had the scoop on Jeffrey Epstein’s sketchy financials—before the Bari Weiss–run network fired the reporter fronting the investigation."

The New Republic@newrepublic.com · yesterday

Banks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS

“X-men 97 is just fetish fanfic” is a real thing I just read?

The problem is in the system, and while individual actions can help alleviate it (and we should ensure that we are doing what we can), the issue can only really be resolved by gutting the social, political, and media apparatus that has allowed this inequality to flourish.

The thing that's bugging me today is that no matter how much we as people and communities can do to reassure our trans friends that spaces we control will be welcoming and safe for them, there will be a constant uncertainty over their safety in any other space - in most places in the UK.

Perez Hilton live-streamed himself engaging in self-harm and clips of it are now circulating on social media.
