Trump to China: obey my command or I will destroy the United States

@indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social you've been lumped in with all the other "ANTIFA terrorists" standing up against Trump's fascism, so now would be a great time to either stop encouraging ppl to register for your protests or else step up your privacy practices to protect your members

@indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social if Trump's DoJ demanded y'all turn over your registration lists as part of an ""investigation"", would you comply? would you expose your members to fascist government violence in order to ""follow the law""?

the correct answer should be a resounding NO.

@indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social i know y'all think you're the ""good"" movement (unlike those "violent anarchist" protesters amirite) but standing against them in ANY WAY makes you an enemy of the state. no matter how family-friendly, no matter how many permits you get or cops you invite

hey @indivisible.org, @50501movement.bsky.social:

this ⬇️ is why real activists with more on-the-ground experience keep telling y'all that having ppl register for your little protest parades is a bad idea

i know y'all gotta make those fundraising email lists somehow tho 😉

The little cat steps on the wizard's stomach, waking him up. He goes to make waffles with persimmon marmalade and put some fish out for the little cat. As he makes tea, the air fills with the smell of persimmon. After breakfast, he unpacks his reagent delivery and puts the new reagents away.

might be the *lack* of chemicals actually. they're the largest metropolitan area without water fluoridation. it's a ~First Amendment~ thing for them

Portland is a very weird place, hence their motto. it's got a peculiar mix of big-city liberal and small-government libertarian hippie crunchy types

Henry Kissinger has that prize. I don't think the entry requirements are all that stringent on terror.

Potent nor’easter will slam the East Coast with fierce wind, major coastal flooding and rain this weekend | CNN Millions along the East Coast are about to feel the wrath of the storm this weekend and into early next week.

A nor’easter will hit the East Coast this weekend. Now is the time to prepare. If you own a portable generator, make sure your carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are working. CO from portable generators can kill in minutes. Make sure your flashlights have fresh batteries. www.cnn.com/2025/10/10/w...

The image shows a circumhorizon arc (or circumhorizontal arc), an optical phenomenon resembling a fiery rainbow. It forms in a clear sky with cirrus clouds made of flat, hexagonal ice crystals aligned horizontally. These crystals refract sunlight, creating a colorful arc parallel to the horizon. Vibrant colors shine brightly against the blue sky, captured near North Fork Mountain, West Virginia.

A nice circumhorizontal arc (informally known as a fire rainbow, which is a misnomer) over West Virginia captured by Christa Harbig!

It is an optical phenomenon belonging to the family of ice halos, so it is neither fire nor a rainbow.

black bloc: out 👎

don't you hate when your pope gets POLITICAL lmao god forbid

can't believe conservatives are doing a "put the fries in the bag bro" to the POPE, it's too much

aaaahahah the committee giving the Peace Prize to a Venezuelan lady might just be the thing that makes Trump's head explode like in Scanners

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan forever

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

100%

what's totally fucked is like. streaming it SHOULD have resulted in such a hit to their reputations that no one would touch it with a 10-foot pole ever again

and yet

The wizard is snuggled into his bed, reading a book about outer space. The little cat is curled up above his head, on the pillow.

oh yeah, that's a totally fair consideration. i didn't think to touch on that at all, just went straight to like... dialectical materialism activism crap lol

but no yeah, you make a good point -- such a list is also useful for that reason

i seem to have missed some context here -- i see now that the issue at hand is particular major vtuber (who i've never heard of before now) streaming That Wizard Game

obviously i do not support this and Hololive should be pressured to drop any Wizard Game streams from their programming

(books, movies, games, etc) in over a decade bc they would be impossible to enjoy and i don't want to support her materially

the reason i brought up activism is bc it's relevant to KG's original post about putting people on blast who *stream* the game, as we should

i have never played that game and i have no interest in ever playing it, if that needs to be said. i haven't consumed or purchased any HP products/media +

Cover art for sepia toned monochrome horror game Mundaun showing a character and a goat overlooking a mountain and valley, holding a pitchfork Bonnicula, female vampire vtuber adventurer's head has been photoshopped onto the main character's Text reads "Bonnicula's MUNDAUN VACATION!!!"

Tonight! Midnight EST!!

It's seems our time in beautiful Mundaun is coming to an end! Let's pack up our goat and magic truck - it's time to meet the Devil in his mountain prison to sort this whole mess out for good!

Grab your schlieusa and JOIN ME HERE!

that's true -- her actual work is indeed super fucking gross, once you realize what's in it

i'm mostly focusing on the money going directly into her pocket that enables her to fund this evil shit

Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon taken from my backyard

Two nights of 3:45am alarms, blazing full moon lighting the sky like daytime and washing out the light of everything else, comet included. Then two days of post-processing battles, as comet processing is maddeningly tricky.

But I finally pulled it off: here is C/2025 A6 Lemmon. 🔭

#Astrophotography

A face-on spiral galaxy set against a dark star field. A bright golden core radiates at the centre, while blue spiral arms sparkle with stars and patches of white light, forming a pinwheel shape.

Meet NGC 1232!

This galaxy lies some 60 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. Its central areas contain older, reddish stars, while the spiral arms are populated by young, blue stars and many star-forming regions 🔭

The image is an artist's illustration of one model of the bright gamma-ray burst GRB 080319B. The explosion appears highly beamed into two bipolar jets, with a narrow inner jet (white) surrounded by a wider outer jet (green).
