Thanks. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't some known collection.

I've been angry for a decade and it's corrosive.

It's not sustainable.

This morning, as EMS was trying to reach victims of a mass shooting in downtown Austin, a Waymo was blocking a point of access until a police officer was able to take manual control and move it.

There’s no room for @waymo.bsky.social on our streets as long as they’re a safety hazard.

Seems like a credible indicator that bombing Iran will not, in fact, usher in a period of peace that poses no risks for the US

Freedom is never free? Did your pals sharing troop locations on unsecured networks over Signal chat tell you that?

This is right. And people hate to hear it, but Joe Biden’s single most important task was to Trump-proof the US.

His task was to destroy the Republican Party to punish them for Trump, salt the earth over them, and implement big structural reforms to stop future R minority extremism.
And he failed.

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

I mean it's a SCIF with a perimeter barrier consisting of curtains so I think we're a little past ICD 705 already, even by TSWA standards

Again, it is interesting that a single generation was entrusted with the richest, most advanced empire the world had ever known and was just uninterested in keeping it going

Today has sucked and I've been in a bad mood all day.

At least my Spartans won their senior night hockey game in an exciting 13 round shootout. They can clinch the Big Ten title for the 3rd straight year next weekend.

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

I'm confident retaliation will occur.

And since the Trump regime has proven to be an unreliable partner, our old allies will not share intelligence about potential risks.

None of this had to happen.

One of my senators (D) went on TV and framed the problem with Trump's decision to launch an unprovoked assault on another country as entirely about process. She agrees with the carnage, she just wishes she would have been consulted about it first. Sorry to be a bit bummed out by that, I guess.

That's the plan, and to the extent the Trump admin even wanted to help (they don't), they illegally dismantled the mechanisms for it, like USAID.

It would've served our strategic interests greatly for millions of Iranians to see boxes and crates of vital supplies with U.S. flags on them. Oh well.

So a government that represses minority religions, is restrictive to women, is violent to peaceful protesters and a military threat to the region and globe, should not be a nuclear power and the leader of that government should be assassinated.

This is not about Iran. The world is watching.

If I were a head of state, I would think setting a precedent that assassination is a legitimate tool of state competition would be unwise

Decapitating a country is a short term strategy whose logical endpoint isn't directly knowable but will probably include something similar happening to the U.S. government.
