Hope Dave Don't Say "Balls Nasty"❌👑

I used to roll my eyes at Survivalists. Now I'm starting to appreciate the concept more.

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.

All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."

It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

"He hates Americans....Trump hates America." Trump's AI video embodies his "hatred of actual living Americans."

*one* of the many reasons we need to get dems back in charge of congress is to do some basic fucking oversight on how many books they’re cooking and how badly they are cooked

A Justice Department spokesman, Chad Gilmartin, said, “In any circumstance, all officials at the Department of Justice follow the guidance of career ethics officials.”

In July, Ms. Bondi fired the agency’s top ethics adviser.

SEN. @schatz.bsky.social : "This is not about money. There is enough💰to bail out Argentina with ($40 BILLION). Enough to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173 MILLION for Noem. Enough to renovate the ballroom. What there isn't enough💰for under this Republican government is YOU."

Mosquitoes found in Iceland for 1st time as temperatures in the region rise Mosquitoes have been detected in Iceland for the first time as the region warms due to climate change.

HA HA! Take that Iceland!

It's like they're determined to prove horseshoe theory.

Only very very white peoples could seriously say “everyone has a Nazi phase.” You really think your Jewish and Black neighbors all went through an edgelord Nazi phase?

This is the real thing about the Nazi tattoo. If you believe that he got it in Croatia in the Marines and didn't know what it was (I do not believe this) then the next question is "that was 20 years ago, and he didn't know that whole time?"
I don't buy it.

This is the kind of stubborn intransigence and poor judgment of character which helped lose him two primaries.

White people (primarily) decided after 2012 they just DGAF anymore. If he's white, he's right.

there is a new scandal as bad or worse than what got trump impeached the first time about every 48 hours

AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright - Dexerto The AWS outage caused chaos for owners of Eight Sleep’s Pod3 mattresses as they had no offline mode and were stuck at high temperatures.

Call me a luddite if you like - but I don't want a bed that stops working when Amazon Web Services goes down.

Agreed. It's a denial of what we're going through. Lying on the bathroom floor at 3am not knowing how I'm going to stay alive is not inspirational.

But according to a person who socialized with Platner when he was living in Washington, D.C., more than a decade ago, Platner had specifically acknowledged that the tattoo was a Totenkopf, the “death’s head” symbol adopted by an infamous Nazi SS unit that guarded concentration camps in World War II. “He said, ‘Oh, this is my Totenkopf,’” the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. “He said it in a cutesy little way.”

Jewish Insider just sent out an email with an article with more Platner info. And yeah, this guy is DONE done.

Harvard is the 'best case scenario' for US research pedagogy (at least, financially). They have a $57bn endowment. I think the takeaway here is that the days of most PhD programs in the US are numbered

If you see ICE, blow three short bursts.

If they are detaining someone, blow three long bursts.

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission)

Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

could Trump commit a crime so illegal that even he himself could not pardon it

Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.

Disney Studios seeks to fire union lot nurses in favor of subcontractors, shredding an 85-year tradition Disney Studio lot nurses, represented by IATSE Local 80, expressed shock and concern at the news; the union plans a response.

I spoke with union nurses at the Disney Studio lot in Burbank, who are on the verge of losing their jobs to subcontractors. The decision is considered to be straight up union busting by the union.

"This is my livelihood," union nurse Kelly Peterson said. "I have kids that are under my insurance."

Days when I, on seeming autopilot, get a lot done sometimes remind me of Tony describing the therapeutic process here

No Kings protests were one of the few times Trump, MAGA, and right-wing media were reacting to something the opposition did, rather than the opposition reacting to whatever they do.
Adopt a principle from war strategy: generally better to be taking action and forcing opponents to react. Good point.

future grandchild: like shit, from an ass?
