A reply to the Mardi Gras Purim poster from Werewolf Bar Kochba. It reads: "Please remember to add alt-text to your Jewish Mardi Gras memes, Senator Kim. It helps visually impaired Jews get through לאנט."

OMG this is at once the best reply and the most bsky reply.

James Talarico tonight:

"It doesn't matter what happens in this Republican runoff. We already know who we're running against: The billionaire mega-donors and their corrupt political system. Not any one politician ... We are running against the broken system and the powerful people who broke it."

You might’ve forgotten about COVID, but COVID hasn’t forgotten about you

Good job Winnipeg!

sorry we fired all the missiles. no, there won't be more missiles for a while. the missiles take a long time to make. in fairness you weren't supposed to use them all at once

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Meet three scientists who said no to Epstein The warning signs included a web search, a mother’s doubts, and inklings of a “sexist attitude”

How did these men know to stay away from Epstein? One googled him, one asked his mom for advice, and one actually listened to what Epstein said to him and quickly realized he was a witless misogynist.

It wasn't that hard, and every scientist who claims they didn't know is either lying or stupid.

"we are living through unprecedented times". bro these times have so much precedent. these are some of the most precedented times of all time.

the thing that the Democratic base cannot abide above all else right now is Handing It To Them

and being anti-trans is, in fact, Handing It To Them

don't do that, it's bad morals and bad politics

Rep. Moskowitz can be seen wearing a "JUSTICE FOR CRICKET" pin as he questions Kristi Noem

U.S. ambassador to Canada requests apology for Globe and Mail column In a letter to The Globe and Mail, Pete Hoekstra said he was ‘disappointed and outraged’ over Cathal Kelly’s column on U.S. men’s hockey team

Lol. Get fucked, Pete!

People sometimes ask why I left Twitter for Bluesky but earlier I posted here about being HIV+ for thirty years and none of the replies have told me I deserved it, I should have died, and angrily denounced how much it cost to develop the medication that kept me alive

Saw a thoughtful thread about AI, don't want to QT or argue. But. The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.

Jayapal: DHS is supposed to be protecting our residents. You have actually turned the United States government against its own residents. Yours is a case of failed leadership secretary, you need to resign, be fired, or be impeached.

The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."

i think enthusiastic LLM use is mostly a stack of cognitive biases, unacknowledged plagiarism, and unmet needs in a trenchcoat

but also my main objections aren't about them being bad at tasks so i don't care if you think they've gotten better at it

One of my favorite parts of last night’s election results.

The only Democratic talking point should be: we don’t abandon anyone.

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

if not war then why war shaped

Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled “U.S. Central Command – Unclassified” shows a strike.

“Imminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

a white orb covered in black speckles and spots rests on a dark sofa cushion. the left side is a dalmatian’s face, tucked in toward her haunches with her thin tail wrapped up to hug her face. she is looking at the camera with one sleepy brown eye.

This is Koyuki. Please do not disturb her. She's in ice cream scoop mode right now. Needs to focus. 12/10 (IG: fuji_bull)

I love that our process creates these days where people have to take off work to participate in the meeting as delegations, and the public service have to give up their evenings for their portion. Great for everybody, no way to make it any better.

If I were running for leader of the NDP, my first commitment would be to dismantle literally everything Carney is doing.

Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?

Browaty is the poster child for term limits

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

Mark Zuckerberg’s pervert glasses.

One could argue that Walmart is to be avoided anyway, but you want it to be by your own choice.

I’m so sorry. That just sucks. I hope there’s no recurrence.
