the City of Boise's increasingly aggressive campaign against the state's repeated attempt to ban pride flags flown by cities is extremely funny
rev. howard arson@theophite.bsky.social · 6d agoi have never seen a higher density of pride flags than in Boise
The direct line between what happened to Mamie Till Mobley after Emmett was killed and what’s happening to this woman now is becoming a circle. A dot, actually.

The termination of TPS for Haiti is devastating and cruel. To our TPS holders in the #MA7 and beyond, your humanity, dignity, and lives matter. And I'll do everything in my power to support you and your families. My full statement:
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 15h agoBreaking news: A federal judge took the final step in allowing the Trump administration to terminate temporary protected status for 350,000 Haitians, meaning many are likely to lose their jobs and be at risk of deportation.
monsters to harass this family, either help them find answers or get out of the way I know that there’s so much racism and hatred at play, and that’s why it is despicable that everyone with a conscience isn’t rallying around this family

G*d bless the animal that was running around the woods today, It let me know that my baby can still bark. I greedily want years with her, And it scares me when she coughs. Our little Viserys, our little Lazarus, She gets knocked down again, but she gets back up again, I can barely believe our luck.
It is the single worst deliberate change I have ever seen made to a product, and might be what stops me using Microsoft Office after…25+ years? Imbecilic product decision, but just one among *many*.
Heather Burns@heatherburnstech.bsky.social · 2d agoThe 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.
You had me at “against data centers”
The Downballot@the-downballot.com · yesterdayQuite an upset in the #KSGov Dem primary. State Sen. Cindy Holscher, who came out against data centers and the Kansas City Chiefs stadium deal, has defeated state Sen. Ethan Corson, who had a big financial edge and an endorsement from term-limited Gov. Laura Kelly.
It's all part of a culture of fraud and bullshit. It's all bad for us - bad for our brains, bad for our souls, bad for our environment, bad for our social skills and communities, bad for our economic health, bad for our political stability. It's only good for billionaires enriching themselves.
The business of "A.i." is based on a lack of consent. The corporations pushing it don't ask if anyone wants it; they force it on us. They use it to surveil. They offer it to creeps to create nudes of others without permission. It's a business run by creeps with the ethics of creeps.
"A.i." is a tool of exploitative capitalism, not a leveler or equalizer. Its function is fraud and exploitation, not liberation.

“Assume that is a given fact, okay?” “No.” is an exchange we should all be practicing
Lockdown people are so funny. They pull out their hair at the fact that schools were closed for five minutes, and then you ask them if they actually want to educate poor and minority children and they’re like of course not
Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 7d agoPeople still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.
NOT TO MENTION had we prioritized air filtration and gotten people adjusted to masks, then we could face the climate terror occurring now much better

Regarding the Max Miller horrors: I worked with survivors of sexual assault for most of a decade. Many who experience partner violence are desperate to normalize relations with their abuser to avoid further harm to themselves, and are far more likely to do so if their child is also being assaulted.
