No, no you should do it even if you're normal

Platner is definitely going to lose but it's important to take a lesson from his loss: register your burner accounts with a burner email you dolts

Incredible stuff happening on the internet every day

Encouraging black bloc tactics that aren't even common in your home country is *extremely* sus

Extra question: did hegseth and miller demand that the admiral overseeing this mass murder campaign resign for picking up survivors. Seems like kind of a big deal

Scene from Inglorious Basterds where the British spy accidentally holds up three fingers the British way rather than the German way

"Utilise"

Actual advice for (US) No Kings:

Big plastic glasses with fake nose and mustache, mime outfits, masks, spray tans, good shoes, gatorade

Utilize the military guys in your ranks. Make sure the marine veterans have access to crayons. Remind the air force vets to silence their grindr notifications.

Hell, just look at Marxist orgs that act like cults. You'll see people who clearly have left some sectarian cult because of abusive behavior still couch that departure in the terms of "this organization is not doing Leninism correct" or something similar

This phenomenon is pretty common if you talk to people who have escaped cults. Early on they often will speak positively of the founders of a cult (especially deceased ones) while at the same time criticizing everything else about the cult.

Whatever's in those files must be *really* bad

I cannot really square "Yes I support Trump but no I don't like anything he's doing" voters as anything else than personal cope for people who are slowly falling out of a personality cult

there is a cultural norm in some circles that being oppressed is cool, so people make up increasingly novel ways to appear oppressed

Basically the second there's either a natural disaster that is horribly mismanaged or the AI bubble pops, this guy's support falls off a cliff

Polling showing such widespread disapproval of Trump's policies/priorities while showing decent approval of the guy seems to indicate that a lot of people are saying they still like him to save face but have soured on everything he stands for

The real barrier to Trump's approvals falling off imo is a crisis that lets people abandon him while saving face. Right now you have to literally come out and say "I was stupid for trusting this man"

I think it's still below 30%. A lot of people say they support ICE but literally to not know what ICE is doing still. Info environments have not gotten better since last November

RFK jr (in voice like a garbage disposal): teen girls pussies don’t get as moist as they did even in 2023. Most teen boys are ashamed of their dick size, you pull up to a high school and tell them to whip it out and they shy away like a wild horse

Nyt headline: new way forward for US healthcare?

My position is #3: I should be allowed to use the transformational AI software to speed up my workflow but the procurement teams at contractors I deal with who are using it to bypass their legal teams should be banned from using AI forever.

moi bolshoy kot — my large cat he is curled up laying in the bowl part of his multi-level cat tree. he has dark fur that has bits of brown only visible in the direct sunlight streaming in from the window to the left. he has a stern expression

fat cat friday

as I keep saying, if you were actually living under this level of threat imagined by some posters - and you may yet! - you wouldn't be posting on bluesky.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Like basically uncooked sunny side up. Had to actually ask for things off my bill which I never do

Just had the worst breakfast food in a diner that I've ever had. Takes talent to fuck up eggs that badly

Watching the wife play the new Pokemon game. Easily the most entertaining one released in years

I asked the best public speaker I know (known publicly as an amazing, charismatic presenter) his secret.

Him: "I do ten full rehearsals of every speech"

Me: "It's that easy?"

Him: "I've told this secret to a lot of people, and none of them have ever started doing it."

I'm so glad I don't have to use dating apps anymore
