I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

wrote on saturday that trump was not going to let democrats avoid the question of impeachment and here we are with an offense that would have had a president impeached, removed and *at least* exiled if it had happened at any point prior to now.

Oh hey I just figured out why everyone in upper management (and govt) is so keen on RTO

AL: Do you have the communications for all the things you're testifying about? KG: Mostly staff in physical proximity so not written down. But plan was written down based on CLR. Regardless of 5 years or 7 years old, still a valid CLR. AL: CLR doesn't itself call for removal of 700 trees.

I think for obvious reasons it is not correct to conflate public executions carried out by the state as spectacle with videos of murders by law enforcement that have been recorded often at considerable risk by observers. These are two different bad things done for different reasons

This reminds me of the short story EPICAC (I think I spelled that right)

I see people talking about the need for"masculine" books is making the rounds again. Y'all need to go to a library or a bookstore if you think there's a lack. The reason romance is front and center is because it *sells* but stop window shopping and go inside. Or just shut up. That works too.

it will never cease to be wild to me how we pretend that every male of every species finds a mate in order to pander to mediocres who are objectively our species equivalent of the penguin who dies alone on a rock with no offspring ever

on the other site some old white guy posted a dating advice thread that basically said "shower, hit the gym, and talk to women" and the reaction is exactly as predicted this schizo-post has 17 thousand likes; just one among many like it

what cliff doesnt understand is that the law of evolution dictates that he die alone and sexless because his failure to propagate the species is a net good for our long term prospects

extremely funny that a MAGA Super PAC is dropping $200K to boost the Party for Socialism and Liberation's candidate with non-union printed mailers

Jacob Rubashkin@rubashkin.bsky.social · 2d ago

A pop-up Super PAC is spending six figures on mailers backing a socialist running as an independent in the Ohio Senate race against Husted and Brown. We won’t know the donors for a while but there are signs it’s a GOP-backed effort.

no what we do here is we cheat on our wives with a much younger research assistant

one year when I was in college they put a sign on a door saying "use other exits due to nesting geese" and then someone had scrawled in pen underneath "this is not to protect the geese this is for your own safety" and that, my friends, is environmental storytelling

Today, on social media, for some reason I separately saw videos of both a human and a goose in a tiger enclosure trying to fend off the tiger the man died, and the goose scared off the tiger anyone knows geese could have seen this coming

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

If you watch an execution of someone on Live TV. I literally do not care who you are, or what your excuse is (yes, that includes the press) You are a vile piece of shit. The people who are advocating for this and actually livestreaming it? I hope they make a new level of hell for you

I just nailed a pitch to the CEO of my company. My boss is pissed but I don't care. I am taking this win

Loyalty is always a one way street. Employers of any stripe expect everything from you, but the moment they can save a few bucks or think they can get marginally better results you’re gone. It’s a consensual business relationship and either party has a right to end it. Fuck off, Stephen.

never forget that in 1940 dr. spock said that people should think of babies as little people that you need to teach and nurture with love and understanding and not horrible little monsters that are lower than animals and incapable of feeling and a bunch of people absolutely lost their minds.

And the NYT is so proud of its both-sidesing the article is leading the website. Readers are offended, as well they should be. Most recommended comment:

Call me a Woke Shitlib, but I think that the president saying that some of the most populous cities in America can be destroyed as acceptable losses in war is something that should be wall to wall coverage until he's out of office.

Ok so it wasn't just me.

A series of ads for Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton were aired during the Eagles-Rams game on Sunday, and people were asking why.

Watching the eagles which is the first TV I've watched (not Phillies) in awhile and holy crap the ads are bad. Also why am I seeing an. Add for ken Paxton in new Jersey

There is no advice that can survive bad management unless the advice is "leave". That being said, if you're doing Things On Your Own for the first time you should do it tactfully, carefully, and make sure nobody wonders if you did it instead of your assigned work.

"I'm supposed to be tough. What happens if I faint?"- here's fun footage of Curtis Sliwa & Mayor Mamdani getting their flu shots together, including Mamdani offering to hold Sliwa's hand 😆 (Sliwa takes him up on it!)

i’m sorry, but i have to post this political ad

like, i don't know what to do about this. some of the people whom i have met who are most committed to humane if slightly insane values are insisting that they intend to become collateral damage for inscrutable reasons if anyone goes after the people they themselves believe are insane racists.

rev. howard arson@theophite.bsky.social · 2w ago

right, exactly. i am adjacent to rationalists because i have worked alongside rationalists for a decade. some are very earnest EA monks who more or less give away the huge amount of money they make. some are neoreactionaries with essentially Satanic values. the monks and neoreactionaries get along.
