Elon: i’m going to send a data center to space! Zelenskyy, packing a repurposed Cessna full of composition 4: me too

In a setback for Dunning Kruger chartboys, a Federal Reserve study reveals that from 2022 to 2025, Americans 75+ saw their wealth jump 37%; those under 35 lost 23%. The poorest 40% of Americans also lost out.

hello, I am doing some research and would like to tap into the collective brains of BSKY: 1. can you share some genre or literary fiction magazines that have closed and the archive is NO LONGER ONLINE 2. the same but the archives remain online FOR NOW i would also appreciate RTs for awareness 💀

I’m in DC scheduled to give this talk today. But the organizers flagged slides in my deck that mention racism, structural gaslighting, New Jim Code and other themes that are off limits in the Land of the Free.

When faced with an ethical choice, most people do not ask themselves what the right thing to do is. They ask themselves, what is the NORMAL thing to do? The right thing is to punch nazis. The normal thing is to work side by side with them and keep your mouth shut for the sake of your paycheck.

These fuckwits who are never ending with their laments about the end of Westrtn civilization stomp around Washington like visigoths drinking mead from the skull of Caesar

Man I'm getting followed by a bunch of really boring bots tonight. Apologies if any of you are actually humans, but you are kind of boring (no shade, so am I)

We can still get 3k+ whistles out the door to people in need in under 24 hours and they are free.

People in California who are facing a terrible ICE surge: remember that if you need whistles, we are still sending them out for free. In fact, we just passed 1.7 million whistles sent out. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Cali, NYC, whatever volume of whistles you need, we got you.

🚨 HAPPENING NOW: NYPD PUSHES BACK AS ANTI DEPORTATION PROTESTORS SWARM HOSPITAL ENTRANCE

This was a pretty small protest, but it honestly seemed incredibly effective. I don’t think that they’ve done this before, the only time I’ve been to a protest at this building was on a weekend. I really don’t think these workers liked being shamed!

Protest outside of ICE’s headquarters in Washington, DC today, focusing on the bureaucrats who work for ICE. Some workers smirked as they passed the activists, but many more hid their faces.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.

A year ago, @propublica.org told you immigration agents had detained more than 170 U.S. citizens. We’ve updated our count, and we’ve got all the receipts. The tally: At least 506 citizens detained. Sometimes held at gunpoint, handcuffed, or even deported. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Tfw your roommate is specifically exact about every dollar for rent and utilities but completely "forgets" that they said they'd help pay for food if you cooked and just expects to eat for free forever.

You'd think that the Democratic party would be making hay over their opposition's biggest donor fighting to let his bot keep making revenge porn.

Elon Musk's xAI on Friday persuaded a US federal appeals court to halt Minnesota's first-in-the-nation ban on AI-generated fake nude images as the technology and social media company pursues a lawsuit alleging that the law is unconstitutional.

Of recent interest here in Minnesota is that ICE is releasing detainees to satisfy Habeas requests, and then immediately detaining again. This really ought to be national news.

Daniel Suitor@danielsuitor.com · last wk.

Will is 100% right. Has happened to multiple clients of mine. One judge (not my case) has said that this isn't really release and ordered the person *actually* released. But it's forcing us habeas attorneys to win our cases twice (or more)

We’re raising money to help volunteers across the country document ICE flights. This helps with accountability, advancing policy, and demostrates to detainees, and their loved ones, that they’re worthy of being counted, and are cared for by their community. Please help: ottergoose.net/ice

Oh god the effective altruism ai "safety" guys are sponsoring YouTube videos now.

Membership in a fraternity signals to prospective employers that a job applicant is willing to conform to corporate culture (no matter how depraved) and cover up criminal wrongdoing.

It's kind of nuts how much of reactionary politics is just dudes being insecure. It's not cool to like girls. It's not cool to have values. It's not cool to care about other people.

So two sci fi nerds and an ancient warmonger are going to spend 120 days fantasizing about how to kill more people and make more money for defense contractors. I'll place my bets now: drones, robots, space weapons & super soldier drugs that are really just steroids & meth...

Hegseth: "Project Meridian will be co-led by three of our nation's best minds: Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich"

the point of every book, every painting, every song is *connecting with other people* and their feelings 🤷‍♀️ feeling like you are not alone in this world, feeling understood and understanding the other

Men, stop telling women you denounce sexual assault and start telling your male friends.

If I'm in a bubble because I haven't listened to the latest pop country song, I've been in that bubble since about 1995, when I was first able to buy my own CDs.

I'm not gonna share that probably-AI "trucks replacing Hormuz ships" video, but imagine if delivery drivers stopped bringing me pizza and I was like "well I've trained several hundred ants to bring pizzas to me a crumb at a time!"

I made a thing! Sort of. They were supposed to be pattern weights, because I want some tiny ones, but they're so small they aren't really heavy enough, even filled with sand. I'm not sure what to do with them.

Ok new rule: No scrolling til I post progress on a project. My posts are about to become more crafty and less political, which is probably better for everyone tbh.

There are a lot of things to hate about billionaires, but I don't think billionaires get enough attention and hate for also being involved in this:

Gillian Brockell@gillianbrockell.com · 3w ago

Lmao sure looks like they tried to do it using the MAGA billionaire's plane. This is the only one among the jets ICE uses for Africa trips that was in position for the planned TCR. Typically they get to the staging airport 20 hours before departure for crew rest. zeteo.com/p/this-famil...
