New update: Really trying to leave the trashcan that X has become. I post rarely, but occasionally will offer a bad political take. #GuildWars2 #D&D
The targeting of one data center is proving a really useful natural experiment showing which sites and ideologies are an echo chamber of Russian propaganda
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 6h agoUh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?
A society that's not certain if trans people should have rights while arguing the fancy algorithms need them is not a right society
I wonder if he'll like this statue of himself?
Raider@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social · 5d agoA 2.5-meter-tall statue depicting a naked, gold-covered Donald Trump has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. The satirical sculpture, titled "Orange Plague" and also called "King of Injustice," shows Trump sitting on the shoulders of another man.
WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.
Huh. The naked Trump statue just unveiled was #1 trending on Bluesky and then it just as quickly dropped off the entire list.
This right here. This is how you respond to their bullshit.
This is a really great quote.
Charlie Warzel@cwarzel.bsky.social · 2w agoThere is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
I didnt know it gets funnier than a whole ass United States Senator accusing a man of being at a Hawks game in ATL when he was at a Hawkeyes game in MD, BUT... He let every media outlet know he had a big moment coming so they all saw him clown himself and watched Amy Klobuchar clean up the pieces.
Great thread. Revive the OTA! This is also why I do not support term limits in Congress (at least not until other issues are fixed), because they would increase the churn and lead to even more reliance on lobbyists to explain complex issues.
Meredith Rose (from the grave) 👻@mrose.ink · 2w agoSo, fun fact: ever since 1994, and Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America" campaign stunt, Congress has had a SERIOUS problem with subject-matter expertise and institutional memory. It's why Congress has such a deep and complicated relationship with lobbyists. 1/
Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"
Whether it’s Benjamin Netanyahu empowering Hamas, presiding over a massive intelligence failure that let them kill 1,200 Israelis on October 7th, and then killing 74,000 Palestinians in response or Zohran Mamdani pointing out that he did this, both men have fueled their bitter feud.
you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor
‼️ Weeks before midterms, Texas election officials have discovered that an unknown number of voter registration applications havent been processed due to an error by the DPS. The Texas Association of County Elected Officials say number could be "tens of thousands" - much of them in urban areas.
Error means unknown number of Texas voter registrations haven’t been processed yet
It’s unknown how many prospective voters have been affected.

Since the 1950s, researchers have applied the "AI" label to an incoherent grab-bag of technologies that share one characteristic: each one is designed to perform tasks that are considered to be the province of conscious minds.

As I was standing by this gas pump filling up my truck with six dollar gas I couldn’t help but think that this was a small price to pay so that every child wanting to play sports in elementary school has to submit to mandatory genital inspections
One of the most powerful videos you'll see today. Dr. James A. Makokis speaking to the historic announcement that Saddle Lake Cree Nation will defy Alberta's anti-LGBTQ+ laws and provide a safe haven for trans and two spirit people on their land 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈❤️🪶
I wish our politicians would use the parable of Sodom and Gamorrah. For lack of 10 "Good men" the cities burned. We need 6 Representatives and 20 Senators from the GOP to impeach and remove him. We need 26 good people to save the nation.
This is the obvious case. Bad Prompt does Bad Thing, but blame it on "rogue" actions.

If all the technological change from antebellum south to today has not changed "the nature of humanity", then, the bastard offspring of Eliza and Clippy isn't going to do it.
Lizard@lizardky.bsky.social · last mo.Gee, “We get everything we want under the law, but people *still* aren’t forced to like us, we’re oppressed” sounds sooooo familiar. I wonder why?
"If the onus was on the defense, as it should be" I'm sorry, what?
How can we have any trust in the Democratic party when they won't even call for the impeachment of a lunatic who has violated more laws (state, federal, and international) than anyone can count and is blatantly interfering in the election process?
