Sat.

I see the resemblance.

I've got a nose hair trimmer and it's a pain to use because I just want to sneeze hard every time I use it.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just took the bench. She's expected to rule on a request for a preliminary injunction governing the use of force by federal agents in Chicago.

Getting traction in a job hunt right now is like pulling teeth. Very difficult. Both myself and my partner are looking and it's bad out there.

Great read. Thank you for sharing this.

Bumping, I still have slots in the color sketch/full color tiers :}

What does that mix percentage look like?

Shame. She's still got my vote. :P

I can't endorse this highly enough. If Lina Khan were to run for president, I would vote for her in a hot minute. To have her in a position directing policy development once more is a huge win for the people of NYC and the USA more generally.

Granted, last time I was in Florida was like...15 years ago, but it was way too warm for me.

Tonight is a great night. More work to be done obviously but a good start.

Cope and seethe, Playgolf Shitler.

As a Chicagoan it's against the law for me to be happy for/envious of NYC, but I'll allow it tonight, as a li'l treat

Crying laughing at this whole thing. It's so good.

Learning how to surf on the Bluesky Firehose API to groove on the wave of good vibes tonight. It's a good time.

you can win without billionaires supporting you

you can win without party leadership endorsing you

you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch

we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

Oh no, trust me, I get it. 2024 was a massive bummer and the energy of that summer just fizzled out and turned to dread. I get not wanting to repeat that.

I'm gonna choose to be happy for a tiny moment before gritting my teeth for 2028, Mel. :P

Still though, history has shown that your assessment has a tendency of being the correct one.

So goddamn proud of everyone.

Yeah, that's what I was reading. Apparently early voting crushed prior years' records, too.

I realize it's a bit of a side discussion from election things, but also a good thing to be talking about. Our lives are increasingly mediated by tech companies which, as has been exhaustively demonstrated at this point, don't have our best interests at heart.

Rein them in.

Why Digital Sovereignty Matters Amazon and Microsoft’s cloud blackouts paralysed public services across the globe this autumn — a warning of what happens when essential infrastructure is left in the hands of private US monopolies.

The last 2 weeks saw major cloud outages from #AmazonWebServices and #MicrosoftAzure affecting thousands of websites. As @ceciliarikap.bsky.social and I argue in @tribunemagazine.bsky.social this event is a wakeup call about the security risks of tech dependency. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/11/why-...

I need a hero. Actually legendary behavior from the DJ.

I see you, New York. Well done.

PBS re-reporting the AP's numbers have Mamdani at 50.5% with 86% of the votes reported in.

It sneaks up on you.

Envy.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
