So I'd like to show a demonstration of what this "waffles" thing is. Here's a conversation between *this site's* CEO, some random guy, and the cofounder of "Tangled", a GitHub clone built on top of Bluesky's protocol.

Please take a moment to really think, about the shape of this thoughtlessness.

I just got raptured but this place is kinda mid

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

Sorry soc Dems and liberals you will be called a communist and silenced anyway. You might as well just be a communist

In 2002 (latest comprehensive BJS data that I could find, made in 2006), agencies with 100+ officers received ~27,000 use-of-force complaints with only 8% sustained (leading to discipline).

About 1 million people experience police threat or use of force yearly, with 15% resulting in injury. 98.2% of officers involved in killings are not charged. Since 2005, only 155 officers prosecuted for murder/manslaughter, with ~1/3 convicted (often lesser charges). Only 16 were charged in 2020.

Black people are killed at 2.5–3 times the rate of white people (e.g., 30.4 per million Black residents in St. Louis from 2013–2023). Native Americans and Hispanics also face higher rates. An estimated 250,000 civilians are injured by police annually.

Police kill approximately 1,000–1,200 people per year. From 2015–2024, its estimated over 10,000 civilians were killed by police. 64% of 2024 killings occurred during traffic stops mental health crises, or non-violent offenses/no reported crime.

You can’t vote out fascism by the way. Not once in power. It has never happened in the history of the world.

A screenshot of a list. It lists several incidents of political violence, attempted assassinations, and threats against Democratic politicians and officials, noting that in each case, the perpetrator was a Trump supporter. Names mentioned include Melissa Hortman, Mark, Josh Shapiro, Nancy Pelosi, Paul, Mike Pence, Judge Esther Salas, Gretchen Whitmer, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Heather Heyer. Each bullet point ends with "was a Trump supporter" or "were Trump supporters" highlighted in red text.

"The left is violent"

It is a sport played by the worst rich people alive, destroys the environment and everything around it but still somehow manages to be mind numbingly boring.

Press Conference: No "Transgender" Or "LGBTQ" Symbols Found At Kirk's Shooting Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.

They'll never apologize and they will never retract their statement. If they do it'll be a disgusting gloss over that republicans won't even care for anyway. It is so upseting that they don't get any penalty for this.

Fems who date straight men, STOP WEARING your hair long to please them. They usually have no idea what they're talking about, have horrible style, and have needed a serious makeover since they were 13 years old.

Funny how saying republicans act like nazis is dangerous extremism that fuels political violence but republicans painting anyone left of Hillary Clinton as the reincarnation of Stalin and insisting nazis were left wing is just politics as usual
