Holy shit. I honestly didn’t think Orban would give up power. That’s huge. Egészségedre!

Our government is covering up untold numbers of murders. Worse, they’re incentivizing them. This broken fucking country.

Just going to say it. Americans are the villains of the 21st century. We suck.
Don’t know why this needs to be said, but Trump isn’t going to fire people because they’ve done illegal or shameful or inhuman things. Gaetz was the last time. If anything, he’ll keep people in place for longer than they should, or want, to be there because he sees it as weakness if they leave.
Suddenly Charlie Kirk is awful quiet about gun control, isn’t he? And now we wait.
Also, remind them that they aren’t funny. Hit them where it apparently seems to hurt most.
Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social · last yr.Stop trying to appeal to their humanity, they ain’t got none. Stop trying to appeal to the “good” Republicans, there are none. Just call them out and mock them for being the scaredy cat beta cuck fascist motherfucking cowardly bigoted pieces of shit they are. Then do it again. And forever.
What the fuck is wrong with people on this website?
This is genuinely wonderful. And, I hate to say it, I’m surprised. I’m surprised Hollen got through. I’m surprised Bukele is eager to get a PR hit out of this. I’m, well, I’m surprised Kilmar was able to go to that meeting. Good diplomacy here. Now let’s get him the fuck out of there.
Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov · last yr.I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
Pretty fucking pissed @tulanelaw.bsky.social opted out.
UC Berkeley Law@ucberkeleylaw.bsky.social · last yr.Dean Chemerinsky and other #lawschool deans "speak as legal educators, responsible for training the next generation of lawyers, in condemning any government efforts to punish lawyers or their firms based on the identity of their clients or for their zealous lawful and ethical advocacy."
For the last eight years, I’ve been fucking fighting tooth and nail to help save this country. Legal filings, going to airports, walking blocks, knocking doors, donating time and money and stress. But I genuinely don’t think it’s worth saving. It just doesn’t work. The system is too broken.

Gotta say it, here at the end. America is and was a shit country. A bunch of selfish assholes who almost killed each other off a hundred years in, and only lasted another hundred thanks in large part to European power struggles. Stuck around about as long as Temüjin’s empire, which isn’t good.
Enough. I’m so fucking sick of The Discourse around and about this guy. He’s a bigoted piece of shit and I blocked him on sight, but by god has he ever converted this app into service seemingly dedicated to saying his name.

The police, en masse, have more contempt for the Constitution and the will of the people than Dick Cheney. This should occasion a reassessment of the general approach of deference towards them that has reestablished itself as the norm in the wake of the George Floyd protests.
Holy fucking shit. What are we doing? What are we going to do?
@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com is pretty fucking rad. I was glad to attend his auction today at Heritage Auctions. Not only did I get a new signature from him on an old book of mine, I won the lot for a beautiful new-to-me Neverwhere. Good cause, good man, good gods what a good day.
Awful. Maine joins a tragic brotherhood of states who have lost their citizens to mass shooters.

New Twitter in a nutshell. I post in 3 different threads, and get likes from 3 different sex bots with the same name. I tweet to mock Musk, check mortifications, and I have 3 new likes from 3 different sex bots with the same name. I tweet to laugh at that…and the tweet gets a like from a sex bot.
Oh, I can do a lot of mischief with 300 characters…
