Great opportunity for anyone who wants to squat Tuberville's house in Florida where he actually lives

"DAs are stuck on database from 2001" oh you mean the absolute peak of database engineering? The exact ideal time for a database to be designedm The perfect crossover of modern technology and engineers with knowledge and integrity?
I didn't realize it was that many. Warren Ellis and Amanda Palmer gave me my first "celebrity" attention and promotional blurbs. I removed them both from my website some years ago. Ick. When I was first starting out I didn't think I could afford a backbone. Now I have it. Fuck abusers.
ComicsXF@comicsxf.com · 14h agoAs a reminder, in 2020, more than 60 people accused Warren Ellis of grooming and sexual impropriety, coming together to create the website somanyofus.com. In its most recent update, in 2023, the site posted: "To the best of our knowledge, Warren Ellis took none of the steps we hoped he would."
OP was making a joke; there's no such thing as the NO WAY Act.
seriously, they seem to be passing that particular test just fine right now
politiburb@politiburb.bsky.social · 15h agoIt gets an actual chuckle out of me seeing people on here say "now the TRUE test is whether the shitlibs can live up to their own words and line up behind El-Sayed!" only for Stevens, Whitmer, every prominent Michigan Dem, the DSCC, etc. to have endorsed El-Sayed before they can finish the sentence.
THIS IS WHY!!!! WE CALL!!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE 🩷 KOSA did pass the house but remember the senate has a conflicting version. Keep calling, it matters!
Free Speech Coalition@fsc.bsky.social · 15h agoSCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!
Abdul El Sayed talkin bout being outspent 11:1 but lookin like his supporters got a win regardless. It’s a nice twist on “get the money out of politics” to instead be like “we can defeat the money”
We'd much rather be drawing! But it depends on being vocal about this. Drawing porn has allowed me to contribute meaningfully and consistently to my retirement fund for the first time in my life. These censorship bills will take away futures. Help us fight them.
Hypno-Scream (Comms Open)❤️🩷💜@hypnoscream.bsky.social · last mo.Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

It’s true, in the past I would have had multiple editors in my inbox asking me to write about the Cunningham stuff. I haven’t gotten a single assignment request. Trans writers used to be tokenized to write about these things but now that the topic is “mainstream,” those bylines go elsewhere.
Sydney Bauer@sydney-bauer.com · yesterdayI need people to understand that for the last half decade that there’s been an ecosystem of trans folks in sports media who have worked unpaid to serve as experts for context, sources and educators on what it’s like for trans athletes, in hopes of potential bylines and contacts. That’s dried up.
this is a uniquely beautiful place beloved of my dad and late grandfather and the park rangers going "yeah all we can do is watch and record the destruction" makes me want to redacted with a redacted. it makes me want to go throw my phone in the trash & learn to be sarah connor in t2, essentially

It’s probably a good thing that the fantasy that the U.S. has a window to start and win ww3 against China has been destroyed by the Iran war
Well, this escalated the discussion!
Brandon Bishop@brandontbishop.bsky.social · 14h agoThis lesson is why the reintroduction of large predators is so important--the jaguar is impartial to testosterone levels and willing to teach everyone that the key thing in life is how well you avoid walking under overhangs at night.
After over a decade of transition I finally got to vote for another trans woman for elected office. She won.
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 19h agoIn other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname
Hahahahahaha I wanted to type something here but I'm laughing too hard "could you still get through an entire workday" what the fuck, man, you just sharpied "I am incompetent" on your forehead.

We CAN take back our country and fix democracy. But we can’t do if with half measures.
Jameel Jaffer@jameeljaffer.bsky.social · 17h agoMost Americans think the freedom of speech is eroding (hard to disagree with that) and, more disturbing still, that it will continue to erode over the next decade.

The war of attrition has entered a new phase. The Russians are now attacking anything and everything – retail warehouses, food storage facilities, logistics hubs, businesses, and construction material depots.
A lot of people starting to realize that true individual liberty/self-actualization is not possible with immense oligarchic/autocratic economic control.
you shouldn't know who won an election for at least two weeks. this need for immediacy is toxic to your soul.
Ok are we done arguing about whether or not DSA should run on the Dem ballot line or not?
the thing about a *primary* campaign that activates young/infrequent voters is that getting them to vote in said primary is always harder than getting them to vote in the general
Its still really stupid that the western nations that pulled support of israel after being bothered to by protestors immediately started trading with the UAE like they were trying to be slick
