People saying "But everyone in Dubai says everything is fine and the spirit is positive" and the response is yes, the dictatorship could arrest or deport you for not being positive.

Obama Campaign Manager Jim Messina is up on stage as the last event of the day. He cites being anti crypto, anti prediction markets and anti gambling as why Democrats are losing young men. Messina is on the board of Blockchain .com and lobbied for the American Gaming Association

So again moderation is turned over to an external source ( usually a woman)

While the data is corrected by an outside source ( usually someone in a heavily colonized country)

While it boils the earth

So one person can have the experience of having a digital yes man …

Pete Hoekstra is a dumb bitch, as we say up here in Canada

RAJU: You'll concede this is war?

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us

RAJU: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war

REPORTER: When you walked up just now, you called it war

MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke.

Presumably Iran thought Trump would happily go along with this anointing of offspring, given his own promotion of family members/in-laws beyond their abilities, and his cordial relationship with Kim Jong Un

It is shaming for Toronto that this was ever even a question, and for him not to rule it out the first time media floated the notion.

It should never EVER have been in question that he would. He has cost this city in money and in reputation. Even his resignation announcement outfit is a regular Menswear Guy dunk

The one thing that unites English parties of every variety across the political spectrum is not knowing what Northern Ireland is

Translation: he didn't have enough weapons to fight his war of choice and so he is blaming Ukraine

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. — Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

Again tapping the sign that The Guardian has a sponsorship partnership with OpenAI and every AI article is just dystopian advertorial gunk whether or not directly about OpenAI

Also @techdirt.com is announcing we're NOT teaming up with any prediction markets, because why?

100% this, especially when many of us have been under charging community groups for years as we know they have limited budgets

You couldn’t make this up.
And if you did, everyone would say it’s too much.

To reconsider a fundamental of American history, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was not an act of war, but merely a strategic strike. It needs to no longer live in infamy, perhaps.

Don’t forget to thank the federal taxpayer for the $6 (2024) every time you pass a milepost ;)

Team Starmer must feel so proud now they have put the UK shoulder to shoulder with this guy’s war

always worth remembering that "the cloud" is actually just someone else's computer (or their many, many computers)

Series of three tweets by Zoe Gardner taking down Nigel Farage's support of attacks on Iran.

Apologies to @zoejardiniere.bsky.social for crossposting her tweets from the nasty place, but I felt this deserves airtime on bluesky because of how emphatically they prove the nasty, immoral, opportunistic politics of Reform.
