Was this very mid-2000s emo person press-ganged into ICE servitude?

Not to interrupt production at the takes factory but they should probably identify and catch the actual killer before we decide what it all means.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

one of the many many MANY reasons DC needs statehood and full congressional representation

imo the thing that took Schumer from "meh to bad" to "needs to fucking go immediately" is how he totally fucked over House Dems and DC with the gov funding bill

Horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in the middle of DC. This kind of violence is illegal, immoral, inexcusable and of course - if the chant of ‘free Palestine’ by the alleged shooter is true - solves nothing and helps zero Palestinians.

Police said a suspect was in custody after the shooting near the Capital Jewish Museum

i've accepted that living in the past rocks. give me the lay-z-boy and the stack of books about WW2, the goings-on of the present are less real to me than the storming of Tarawa

Calling it now that at least one of these people was in AWB

How long until the first “persecuted” Afrikaner refuge that turns out to be actually fleeing criminal prosecution?

The claim that the destruction of essential civilizational institutions is being done in the name of the Jews is itself a form of antisemitism—cultural vandalism carried out in our name. That, my friends, is rank bullshit.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Very much beside the point but it drives me nuts that he's wearing a hat and t-shirt in the Oval Offfice

Asked to respond to people who say he's orchestrating a hostile takeover of government, Elon Musk lies that "a majority of the public voted for President Trump"

One day I’m going to tell my kids I grew up eating literal loaves of meat, sauced with ketchup, and they’re going to think I grew up in the Depression

DC is a great food city and us Washingtonians need to get over ourselves and just not let takes like this get under our skin

Billy Joyner@billyjoyner.bsky.social · 2y ago

A few notes: NoVa is part of the DMV; DC is not a great city as it's a shit food town and most people there are not people you want to spend time with; I never imagined the indignity of non-Notre Dame fans rooting for Notre Dame over Georgia. I knew @stevengodfrey.bsky.social hated my team but damn

Genuine curiosity about the world is undervalued
