I'm sure all the people who were telling us for the last 3 years that "Israel has a right to defend itself" will be happy to explain why it is only Israel's far-right government that has the right to defend itself...
But when Iran defends itself "the attacks are inexcusable"...

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social deciding that it's not him who threw a lame party, it's the kids who are wrong for texting on their phones about the boomer party the Governor dad threw for his daughter is peak #boomersoul
Now we know why he keeps throwing minorities under the bus

I wonder what could possibly be different about the elderly people who vote Trump based on Russian-origin Facebook memes...
compared to... the most cynical generation yet...
it's a mystery...
Timeline of events: Today at 9:04pm. No response yet to my calls or messages to @DarioAmodei. Today at 825pm, @AnthropicAI writes “we have not received direct communication from the Department of War.” Today: 5:14pm SecWar tweets supply chain risk designation. Today: I call Dario’s business partner at 5:02pm asking to speak to Dario because he hasn’t gotten back to me. She is typing while we speak and likely has lawyers in the room with no notification to me (that’s a guess! CA is a two party consent law so am hoping no laws were broken!). Says she “will try to locate him.” Today: I call Dario at 5:01. No Answer. I message Dario asking to talk as well. Today: Dario sends an email with redlines 3:51pm Today: @POTUS sends Truth at 3:47pm Yesterday: I email Dario comments at 10:54pm. Does this sound like GOOD FAITH
Takes an innovative mind to muddle something as basic and intuitive as a timeline

So, we're putting AI LLMs in secure intelligence networks before it can do things like count the number of 'r's in 'railroad'.
I award the entire human race next year's Darwin Award, posthumously.
Speaking of @taylorlorenz.bsky.social...
Have you ever noticed that no one with power who "believes we should keep children out of social media" ever says "and we need to protect facebook grandmas who believe @hillaryclinton.bsky.social drinks baby blood and repost memes we have traced to Russia"?
It’s really starting to feel like the Capital D Democratic Party is willing to throw away the general in Texas so long as they manage to push Crockett through the primary
Harris lost Texas by double digits and over a million votes like what are we doing here

Binge-reading @brandonsanderson.com's Skyward series...
It can be hard to notice what with all the aliens getting the right pronouns and an entire alien species that merges to *preview* the character of their potential offspring...
But on book 2 and so far literally 0% LTBGQ representation. #writing
I love Maisie Williams and Lena Headey, Rose Leslie might be a bit overhyped...
But I don't think I pictured anyone the same way as the actors?
Or unlike the actors...
The adaptation did ASoIaF dirtier than anything the actors did or failed to achieve.
So I just got a statement from California AG Bonta's office:
"Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal. These two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny — the California Department of Justice has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review"
Congratulations to The Green Party and Hannah Spencer for such a strong victory in Gorton and Denton - Matt Goodwin seems to be blaming a dirty tricks campaign of the Greens persuading people to vote for them by having policies people wanted to vote for

En el evento interpretaré en directo, acompañado de la Orquesta Filalbóndiga de Viena, el tema musical oficial de Hábito y Mortaja, un tema más musical que ya ha dañado los oídos y las mentes de dos generaciones.

Control of Congress hangs in the balance this fall, and Trump has warned that he’ll be impeached for a third time if Democrats take the House. Fingers crossed.

What made Red Dwarf special (and had to be perfected cause of budgetary limitations) was it perfected the concept of if you put characters in a room you'd be completely entertained
Even with the outlandish and fun sci fi concepts this cast are just magic. So much of that is Rob Grant
May he rest
This, 1000 times over. You cannot beat the weapon that is "the hatred of sexual freedom" by agreeing with it, even tacitly.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.
Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.
This is pure cruelty.

There is no reform, there's no body cams, there's no amount of anything that is going to fix this. Abolition is the BARE MINIMUM.

I see a lot of people I respect fundraising for trans orgs and I say this with full love for them and knowledge of how much work goes into organization but like. I feel like I should mention that I believe it’s time to just give trans people money so they can flee these red states trying to kill ‘em

After a lifetime of study, @mecheledickerson.bsky.social is this close to realizing it's just Capitalism+Racism.
And that's why the bad ideas keep coming back.
But still worth it to read her book if you have time.

Tim Pool 2 years ago: we just took money from Russia, we're the real victims here because the sponsors took advantage of us.
Tim Pool this week: we reject sponsors all the time, if they have something to say, they can't come on the show and just say "Ukraine is the #1 enemy of the USA"... oh wait...
I can’t fucking take it anymore I made a goddamn blocklist to put these assholes on. Tag me whenever you see someone who needs to go on it. It’s short right now because it’s new but let’s erase these people from our timelines.

Democracy is dying in America.
ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.
We need real leaders - not career politicians.
They killed him.
It takes a lot to infuriate me and break my heart only because you have to be able to tolerate a lot when covering Trump and fascism and try your best to stay centered and hopeful.
This story I can't let go.
They chose to let him just die.
