Most predictable character arc ever, especially if you know her from her time as a running joke in Philly

DNC powerhouse fundraiser anno...

in reply to Gwen Snyder is uncivil

And, apologies for making the same joke twice, but: emphasis on the "running" in running joke. Lindy made a mini-career running and losing elections as "youngest candidate to ever run for [position du jour]" (campaigns funded by her rich parents' friends, of course).


Yes. Thank you. We can win, actually. Dems have not been showing up well generally, but they managed to push the "President Musk" narrative to Trump's consciousness and kill the Trump/Elon horror proposal. Fighting back works.

I ask you again, Lord. Please let him fixate single-mindedly on this batshittery his entire term.

I know it pisses off the Canadians when I say this but please understand that 1) I am not talking about wanting him to try and do this in any military sense, and 2) I am not in that good with the Lord anyway



She isn't perfect but man is she sharp and outspoken in ways that we desperately need politicians to be right now

AOC: “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.” 🇺🇸



I think this is the best explanation of Musk, period. He didn't arrive at his current ideology because he's ideological. He arrived at it because he's desperately incompetent & needs a government that'll award him money despite his incompetence. Which Trump was desperate enough to promise to do.

But Elon's takeover involved putting in place someone so totally craven and so famously disloyal that I cannot imagine this Hail Mary is going to save him. Just like any conman whose con caught up to him, he's on borrowed time.

And it would be a satisfying comeuppance to watch, if he weren't hellbent on taking the rest of us down with him.

The new weekend, time for the new development report from my #opensource projects. Same as in the previous week, a roguelike game, Nim binding to Nuklear library and a system cleaner for FreeBSD got some changes. More info: www.laeran.pl.eu.org/blog/devblog... Happy weekend, everyone. 😁


Please believe me when I say I spent a lot of time watching young men fantasize about becoming terrorists in Nazi chats and Luigi is absolutely living their dream right now. And cops are basically willing stagehands for that show.

I'm not clutching my pearls or anything, just continually marveling at how bad police are at their supposed jobs


Fun fact: thanks to Bluesky I discovered that I can carry my cat in our old Baby K'tan and now that is what I put him in when he tries to eat chicken off the hot stove

RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4mqes…




Listening to the radio and some Dem congress guy is on saying "Elon and his people talked to all these R's but not to us... These guys are so smart but they need to realize they have to talk to us to blah blah blah" Swear to God I am going to have an aneurysm if Dems keep calling this clod a genius
in reply to Gwen Snyder is uncivil

I am well past expecting most Dems in Congress to display any real critical thinking skills on an individual level but JFC could someone send a "stop licking your enemy's boot" memo or something


"fuck you, we will platform Jesse Singal and make you pay for the privilege of sharing space with him" -these business geniuses

in reply to Gwen Snyder is uncivil

Hey remind me, how did that business model work for the social media platform we all just ran away from


Timely reminder that it's worth maintaining a principled stance against the death penalty even when it comes to people who deserve the most fiery pits of hell. They will find their way there eventually with or without our help
in reply to Gwen Snyder is uncivil

The state should not have the power to execute, period. That power should be beyond its purview, period.


Okay this is the first wet blanket thing I will say about the Luigi love, it does freak me out a little to see sainthood killer jokes just because that's SUCH a trope of the terrorist incel and terrorist neo-Nazi far right

RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:7nyt6…



I don't even know what Aaron did this time, I just know I do not trust him or feel safe with this Jesse Singal stuff and so am here for any and all dogpiles


Here's the thing: You are correct that INDIVIDUALIZED consumer choices are not going to make or break corporate policy. But organized, COLLECTIVE consumer choices-- like boycotts-- can and do impact corporate decisionmaking.

That's why I asked if there was a boycott call. I don't worry about "ethical" purchasing bc I think it's mostly a marketing scam, but I will absolutely honor organized calls to boycott or show spending preferences, especially when they come from workers. Because that really does work, sometimes.
