Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

Don't overthink the Trump admin's reasoning here. They don't have a grand scheme. They are willing to upend the international order because they think everyone else will be too scared to fuck with them. And whatever terrorist attacks this inspires against us will just help them electorally.

Does anyone remember when the Marines were deployed to Los Angeles during the 1992 riots? In response to a domestic violence call, they fired more than 200 bullets into a house… www.brennancenter.org/our-work/pol...

James has been on the ground in LA for a very strange, violent night. Check out his coverage on Bluesky and listen to it later this week on It Could Happen Here.

My downstairs neighbors are driving me insane with how often they vacuum at inappropriately late times. It's 01:20. MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. PLEASE. I'm going to have to do something drastic soon, like leave a note in their mail or something. This cannot continue.

look if you have a vocal minority in the country who threatens to murder anyone who disagrees with them you have a couple options for moving forward and surviving but none of those options start with give it in just because they're making threats

*cracks knuckles* lemme tell y'all about a little dude named Napoleon III...

most coups are at or about this level of lameness, it's just that we quickly forget the lame parts of the ones that work

someone who thinks AI companies should be able to scrape copyrighted data to remix for their output explain to me why what DeepSeek did here should be illegal

We failed to stop fascism's rise. Now it's dancing about on the White House lawn. I don't know how to fix all this but I do know that the shit we've been doing won't get us out of this one. shatterzone.substack.com/p/we-failed-...

Using a computer program to impersonate the world's most famous victim of the Holocaust and having it tell children not to blame anybody for it is fucking ghoulish.

This isn't just distasteful in the extreme, it's also extremely dangerous. What the hell were anyone involved thinking??

Opened Instagram for the first time in a while & apparently there's a setting for how much "political content" you want to see now? What does that even mean? Who decides which topics are "political"? What are the criteria? This is so weird.

Resurfacing this old wisdom imparted by a sage internet denizen of yore, as we embark on this new Bluesky journey together:

this is is fascinating. an AI freak buys an AI enabled child toy but his kid keeps turning off the AI and using their imagination, which disturbs and disappoints him

In the early 1970s the U.S. was averaging almost five bombings a day. I think a lot of us who didn’t live through that era take for granted the relatively low levels of political violence in the 2020s.

I've seen a lot of posts about how shitty the bomb was and folks, if someone makes a bomb that blows up when they want it to blow up they are automatically in the top like, 1% of bomb-guys

We should do this, but only on bluesky. I'll start: Maternal mortality in Sierra Leone has fallen by over 60% since 2017 thanks to investments from the Sierra Leonean Ministry of Health and their partners.

As I'm Swedish and celebrate today: Happy Christmas, everyone!

Personally I think it's okay to want someone to fail at doing things that you think are harmful or evil.

New Bastards episode! Robert and Wil discuss the east coast / west coast rap war that Diddy helped orchestrate, as well as just, an awful lot of sex crimes. @iwriteok.bsky.social @whysophiewhy.bsky.social www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

The Madison, Wisconsin school shooter was a radfem Columbine-worshipper who followed "radfem Hitler". Garrison Davis dug into her online presence and wrote this to explain what the hell all that means and why the right wants us to think she was transgender. shatterzone.substack.com/p/the-madiso...

Getting to play as hot women in video games!

can't recommend these episodes enough, especially in the wake of the election.

part 2 of the manosphere series is out, bringing us from gamergate to dana white shouting out joe rogan at a trump acceptance speech. interviews with FD Signifier and Robert Evans drop thursday <3

You know what I need? A Darklima Jane the Virgin based AU. It just popped into my head last night and now I can't get it out.

I wonder if the Catriona will still be a problem in W4? I really hope not. Mostly because I haaaate all the sick coughing background noises. Man, they're the WORST...

Update: I'm actually really liking the Witcher sub. Lots of good discussion and speculation, very little brainrot and culture war bull.

Hey, so it turns out that paper on black plastic was a bit blown out of proportion by a simple math error. nationalpost.com/news/canada/...

It's wall-to-wall garbage all the time, and if it's not wails about a lady being the main character, it's tedious technical complaints about how many reflections of Spider-Man you can see in the puddles. Anything interesting that anyone might have to say about any game has been shoved to the margins

There's no "controversy" over The Witcher 4, it's just gotten picked up in what is now a cottage industry of YouTube-based outrage content farming by people who have zero actual investment in or understanding of the things they cover multiple times a day, every day

Genuinely cannot wait, it's going to be amazing ❤️❤️
