Your occasional reminder that the Founding Fathers were not psychic democracy angels descended from Heaven but problem children spot-welding a first of its kind system together while both (often) being drunk and (always) hating each other.

I've said this a bunch of times. It's just gross. If you've got this in your bio, have a hard look in the mirror. And frankly if "I left twitter" is your main bio point, I'm not remotely interested because you'll probably just post twitter rage bait without alt text.

You can just say you left twitter. Describing yourself as a "refugee" from a goddamn *website* when there's a global refugee crisis going on is just ... oh, but people were calling you names over there, how awful for you. it's a WEB SITE. deleting your account on there doesn't make you a "refugee"

Right-wing Christian nationalist podcasters are using the tragic Massachusetts case of Lindsay Clancy to make a radical argument: women should lose the right to vote, end no-fault divorce, and live under strict male supervision. Here is a breakdown of what they are saying on video 🧵👇

My latest @npr.org story: If you have to use the U.S. Postal Service to return a mail-in ballot, USPS recommends mailing it at least a week before your state's deadline. And if you're mailing close to Election Day, stop by a post office to ask for a postmark to make sure it gets one on the same day

Why mailing a ballot close to Election Day may get it rejected for a late postmark

If you're using the U.S. Postal Service to return a ballot close to Election Day, officials recommend getting it postmarked at a post office to avoid getting caught up in mail processing changes.

Gotta admire the dedication of a kitten who will just lay on the kitchen floor, staring into the middle distance in this pose for like 10 minutes for no apparent reason

Siberian kitten lays on the kitchen floor, caught in mid… lunge? Dance step? Honestly unclear

In a crop of a cover by gobifrip.bsky.social, a lich in a large intimidating crown lounges lazily on their throne, watching a restrained barbarian in a glowing orb. Two goblins of cute looks but clearly low int scores watch on as the lich chews on their well-manicured nail because they are so eeeeeevil. Do you have a story you wish to put to print?

I'm really stressed about insurance this month. I write articles as a way to earn enough to cover the bills, but last months article didn't make as much as I needed it to cause I published it mid month. docseuss.medium.com/i-completed-... If you like it, please share and tip, I need about $1200

i completed 52 games and 8 pieces of downloadable content in 2017.

In March 2018, I ended up in the ER. I had been working far, far too much and too hard and it turns out I had a congenital heart defect…

This is going to push some sovcits into the stratosphere. They've been saying that the US Treasury automatically opens an account for you at birth for years. It's core sovcit "how economics works" theory. Why TF are we feeding that unhinged crowd?

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · last wk.

Just on normative grounds, it is bad, bad, bad not to give people opt-out options of any government automation process. The point is to change the default, not to compel participation.

EVEN IF generative AI... had guardrails against abuse (it doesn't) was good for the environment (it's not) and was accurate all the time (not even close) it was still created by scraping billions of works of creative labour without consent, compensation, or even notification.

Would you like to read an absolutely fucking insane story today? Read this one about what it’s like to work at The Spokesman-Review under Rob Curley.

RANGE Media@rangemedia.co · last wk.

How Rob Curley’s plan to make the Spokesman-Review ‘The People’s Paper’ ended in a newsroom revolt: Newsroom staffers tell @investigatewest.bsky.social and RANGE concerns about Curley’s leadership festered until his August suspension — weeks before the paper was set to transfer to his nonprofit.
