A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!
SFO already has a Harvey Milk Terminal. Now I guess we’re getting a Marie Antoinette one too

everything about DOGE was fucking wildly illegal and everyone involved in it should spend time in prison and have their assets seized
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 4mo agothe basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said. I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort
used to be April 1 was the worst day of the year on the internet. These days every day is so damn terrible that a day of failed jokes instead of news is honestly a huge step up.
The ADL needs to: * STFU and disband and never be seen again -or- * get hostilely taken over by someone who gives a shit about anti defamation, FFS.

One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.
I think we as a society have to reckon with the damage done by Ted Talks.

This is incredibly offensive. To see the California Governor's office -- and a former san francisco politician! -- promote Reagan as an example of goodness + humanity is outrageous when it's widely recognized that his anti-gay and AIDS-phobic bigotry contributed to killing how many Californians?!
Governor Newsom Press Office@govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov · 8mo agoThe presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."
San Francisco is having its first competitive congressional race in like 40 years. All* I want to know about the candidates is whether they will vote to #abolishICE.

Dan Diamond@ddiamond.bsky.social · 6mo agoNew at @washingtonpost.com: Trump wants to build a *250-ft-tall arch*, for America’s 250th anniversary The structure would tower over nearby memorials — changing DC’s skyline and blocking views of the Lincoln Memorial It’s also spooking experts who say it’s just too big
The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.
I don't want to hear another word about "reforming" ICE. I want you to run in the midterms on removing every dollar of funding for ICE and impeaching every fucking administration official you can get your hands on.
Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
Given how often CSAM is used as an excuse for one erosion of privacy or another on the web even my prodigious capacity for cynicism is overcome by how extremely tepid the response has been to Elon's bot cranking out sexualized pix of young girls.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social Arts & Entertainment: They used Van Halen and The Doors to capture Manuel Noriega. Does the lack of rock and roll involvement in the Maduro operation signal the decline of the genre? We interview 5 middle age white guys and one token woman to find out.
