we must recover the old wisdom

okay straight off, this kind of thing is VERY bad to use as a proof. One thing that I recognize immediately is that black people tend to deny by litigating our own innocence. Mostly because instinctively we know that our word is rarely trusted

I once had a longtime criminal defense attorney tell me he felt guilty people often said “there’s no way this could have happened because of X, Y and Z,” instead of ”this did not happen because I did not do it.”

omg I found the picture ❤️

Years ago I coined the milleneuve, which is a unit to measure how horrible the sky color is based on Villeneuve films. Blade Runner 2049 is around 900mn. Today is around 250 I'd say. (It's a very scientific scale.)

I hope the most important lesson dems learn from the MI-07 Congressional race is that the time of not doing the work is over. We can no longer drop in candidates with nat'l security experience, who haven't lived in the district and rely on media campaigns. People need to show up and knock doors.

I saw a FB post from a thoroughly apolitical college acquaintance in this district who stuck a Lawrence sign in her yard because she met and talked with him and he showed genuine interest in her career as a pre-K educator and established local ties. Good candidates knocking doors goes a long way!

my prediction is that I'm gonna fall asleep before they call it and then see the results when I wake up at 3am and then stay awake from scrolling

Current* conditions near Ludington, MI:

yeah ok I was wondering if I was missing something when people were calling the MI US Senate race at 5% counted

kind of wild that none of the people who othered abdul's supporters as foaming at the mouth DSAers who've never talked to a black person, etc, will ever reevaluate just how large a portion of the primary electorate they were smearing

Yup. I only found out about this by terrible, terrible accident and every time I see the words OneDrive I wanna yeet my laptop into geosynchronous orbit.

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.

This is excellent news. Thanedar pandered to Hindu nationalists in addition to supporting genocide

For the first 35 years of my life I don't remember any wildfire smoke during the summer and now for the last 11 it's been a yearly thing. Fossil fuel companies can kiss my fucking ass

A lot of people on here remain bitter about the version of Uncommitted they made up in their heads while high profile members of the actual Uncommitted are becoming mayors, state senators, members of Congress and maybe even part of the US Senate. In some cases, with establishment support.

#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · yesterday

Under-discussed Michigan politics story is that a co-founder of Uncommitted is about to become the Democratic nominee for a seat to the State Senate with the backing of Governor Whitmer

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...

VT musical director of planned 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' created fake threats, police say

The director of a planned production of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" admitted to sending himself threatening texts that eventually got the play canceled out of safety concerns.

Bluesky does not have the same proportion of antisemitism as Twitter, do not be ridiculous, I am quite qualified to judge this roughly at least

Occassional reminder that bot posts with splitter / wrecker messaging will get a lot more common as the midterms ramp up. Recommend blocking them and moving on. Also suspect a lot of the “get every liberal to 1k follower” accounts were setups for this sort of thing.

there is an entire industry of people who give their opinion or predict how things are going to go and their entire job is to be correct are they ever correct? rarely. are there repercussions for being wrong, the thing they are being paid not to be? haha no, no there are not

the mainstream press praising rod liddle in death are not unaware he was a bigoted pedophile, they like him for it. the people in their in-group, at the top of their hierarchy, getting away with crimes signals that the world is in order. it is a moral good, to them. the bigger the crimes the better

bluesky is great because you can follow cool people who know about amazing stuff who will complain about every annoying reply they get

Okay which one of you all went to south korea recently

"Barkhuff [former Navy SEAL and founder of the political group Veterans for Responsible Leadership] said...“The Odyssey is about coming home from war and, metaphorically, all the dangers that can trip you up along the way. It’s, like, women, right? Like, the sirens, you know?"

"Platner’s first deployment, in early 2005, began at the Abu Ghraib prison complex, part of which the military had rechristened Camp Redemption." missed that detail the first time around!

A watershed piece. America will have have a very hard time becoming less imperialist as long as combat service is sentimentalized and fetishized, when it actually tends to turn men into broken, hateful people, and helps make things like like Trumpism happen. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...
