Hey remember when Nanowrimo said "sure why not" to allowing AI slop in their process and then immediately died after 20 years of operation oh, no reason, was just thinkin' about it

Only real heads will get this, but: The documents helpfully released today by John Solomon appear to indicate that the FBI never continued its counterintelligence investigation against Trump once Mueller was appointed www.whitehouse.gov/releases/202...

The fact that the DSA folks are taking victory laps about al-Sayed beating Stevens by 0.8% in an open primary (lots of independants in MI) is silly. This is a bad indicator for the November election and shows that there is a need for tons of on the ground work in Michigan for him to win in november.

Grant would genuinely be proud

Noticing some folks seem to think writers just say clever things without understanding how the world works, as if we're all naifs who just happen to be good with words instead of people with formal educations and a professional interest verging on requirement in the ability to conduct research

WE'RE SORRY, EUROPE. We will no longer be able to ship to any EU countries beyond Friday. If you've had your eyes on something, please, please make sure you get it in by Friday as this is the only chance now.

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

this is literally what I do for a living and it's called "blameless root cause" where you identify everything that went wrong without assigning blame to any one person in particular. the NTSB really went all in on this and it's one of the reasons airplane travel is/(was?) so safe in the US.

I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

also when it's the play, it's "rocky horror show" smdh

Pixie Casey@pixiecasey.bsky.social · yesterday

in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...

It’s time to do some democracy!

there are definitely downsides to the nuclear block but the reason I keep coming back to it as necessary and good is that it completely ruined the whole MAGA engagement model to the point that they prefer to mock us from the nazi bar rather than come here to troll us directly

John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 2d ago

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

Instead of getting a single bill enacted in 7+ years in Congress she’s busy talking to MAHA, going on podcasts and campaign coffer stuffing, Dem bashing tours with the bookseller millionaire who only has 8 enacted bills in 35+ years in Congress. 😒 bsky.app/profile/maud...

I researched what I mention in the post below.👇 Take note in these 👇 screenshots what the ‘coverage dates’ are. One is just from Jan-Sept of this year and the other is the prior TWO year period. What did that tour do except get people to bash other Dems and stuff their campaign coffers? 🤔 😒

I assume Wizkids has lost the Critical Role license, because they are liquidating everything. 80% off everything #CriticalRole shop.wizkids.com/collections/...

the next president has a duty to the country to prove that “tax immunity” is a completely made up thing that doesnt exist. they need to do this through intense prosecution to signal to future leaders what will happen if they try this

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d ago

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

While I have not been for Sanders, I haven't been against him either. I am not going to be careful from now on.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d ago

Bernie Sanders refuses to say whether he regrets endorsing Platner

Friday: Capital One reveals they debanked Trump debanked bc he was laundering money. Sunday: Acting Attorney General solidifies promise Trump's tax crimes won't be punished.

Hey my bluesky fam! I wanted to give you all a heads up about this particular account today because this guy is a big con artist, misogynist and all around piece of crap. He has owned revenge porn websites and ran for Senate in Arizona as a Republican in 2021. He's now trying to con people he is not

just in time for the markets to open! it's a Sunday miracle!

If your red lines move with the wind, your loyalty is flexible, & your word means nothing, you have nothing to offer. Random person, candidate, party. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks to all of the folks we saw at GenCon, even if I didn’t mention you!!

Gouging people at the gas pump is a booming business…

@bythepeople1863.bsky.social · 5d ago

Chevron disclosed $12B in earnings a $9.6B jump over the same quarter last year & their biggest profit since 2020. ExxonMobil said Friday its earnings were $14.5B, more than double what they reported for the same quarter last year. Time for a Windfall Profits Tax. This is out & out greed.

Are you saying the DOJ withdrew that pool vandalism indictment… upon reflection?

Soooo you mean to tell Me growing water thirsty crops in a desert is a bad idea?

The Lower Basin states of Arizona, California and Nevada could together be forced to reduce their use by up to 3 million acre-feet annually through 2036 to stave off a crisis in the beleaguered Colorado River. https://to.pbs.org/4vZDOYG

In my entire career with the FBI, had I investigated a case without first ensuring that I had *all* of the evidence we would need at trial, no federal prosecutor would even consider seeking charges. These AUSAs should be referred — as should their chain of command — for disbarment.
