AAZ begins quoting from the community meeting: death is the only thing we're guarnteed in life. But ther eneeds to be mercy and dignity in death. She's talking about the $50M CPD budget versus the $2.7M in CSD (Community Safety). "I don't think that's dignified spending."
one time at Colbert i wrote a sketch about how a bunch of young people in a focus group tricked stephen into making his sidekick a partying polyamorous toilet in sunglasses named Partymouth and then Partymouth became insanely popular so Stephen had the teens killed we didn't do the sketch

Good morning! It is July 4th in the United Socialist States of America. Today we commemorate Independence Day. This is your country! It is up to you to make it strong and just! We celebrate the wild boar, sus scrofa. Bill Withers was born today in 1938; Barry White died on this day in 2003.

CJ Fogler@cjzero.bsky.social · last mo.Morocco wins
Now hold on. That doesn’t look like Zohran or NYC. I thought this sorta stuff only worked on NYC 🧐
gamera obscura@ohrobin.bsky.social · last mo.This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.
update: kim keon-hee has been punished
Sharon 🪳🌹@sharonk.bsky.social · 2y agoKorean impeachment carols!
The only wrong thing kamala and mcmorrow did grooving down the democratic conventions with full bands in tow is having the Wrong views that aren't in service of the people because they were pretty dope images
Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · last mo.I wanna vote for somebody🎶 I wanna feel the heat with somebody🎶 Yeah, I wanna vote for somebody🎶 For somebody who will get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All🎶
DSA election night party ends with Seeger’s “Solidarity Forever,” which attendees continue singing acapella after the music ends. Many continue mingling, much of the conversation being astonishment and unrepentant joy.
My new coworker wears a bluetooth headset permanently but he's like a million so it's endearing not bad
He plays that role like a beautiful clock that's about to run out.
Mac Rogers@macrogers.bsky.social · 2mo agoI’d forgotten (as I haven’t seen it since it was in theaters) how utterly devoid of ham Daniel Day-Lewis’s Lincoln is. You’d think that actor-role combination would result in the showiest Oscar performance ever but in fact he’s incredibly restrained, the straight man in more than half of his scenes.
i can really imagine coach mcgirk saying "It's a tool, Brendan." then having full blown ai psychosis later in the episode
GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands
Finally, a clear repudiation of the brain-dead “it’s just a tool” argument that gets floated cynically about every new technology:
I will never stop talking about this: The lovely and profound "If we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known" is from an NYT article about the author accidentally being CC'd on an email where his friends were making fun of him for renting goats.

Hantavirus is no joke 😂 That's why I've started washing my hands after touching rat feces 🐀 What are doing differently to fight hantavirus?💪
A thing that I think would be interesting is if there was someone with mild self-loathing who kept trying to call themselves a troglodyte after a social faux pas but kept mixing up the word so you'd just see them walking to their car mumbling I'm such a fucking trilobyte I'm so over aaagh
It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea
brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis
