news.bloomberglaw.comHasan Piker Sues Scott Jennings in $72 Million Defamation SuitLivestreamer Hasan Piker filed a defamation lawsuit against commentator Scott Jennings in federal court Tuesday and wants more than $72 million in damages.

I THINK this thread is picking up because a lotta folk didn't know until the Blacksky app that Blacksky is invested in using/supporting generative AI, like Claude Code. They still 100% associate with gen AI companies known to directly harm our community & communal input against that was ignored.

I'm of the mind that, if your gonna explicitly go against your own stated goals, you need to be ready to own up to that from the folks holding up and funding Blacksky @rude1.blacksky.team I love Blacksky, but I'm not about to act this ain't some bullshit drive.google.com/drive/folder...

We’ve now reached the point of “black site” hearings – secret, illegal hearings as part of Trump & Stephen Miller’s wretched crusade to detain & deport our immigrant neighbors. Quite literally: hidden tribunals that disappear people.

thecityreporter.nycDHS Opens ‘Black Site Docket’ for Immigrants Without Lawyers at 26 Federal PlazaA reporter from The City Reporter was threatened with arrest while attempting to observe comings and goings from the new courtrooms, which have left advocates mystified and fearing the worst.

She will lose if she runs because, like Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries, she is downright useless to what we need in this moment. I learned my damn lesson with centrists like Obama, I'm good. Get Angie Nixon instead, she has more to say imo that's worth supporting rn.

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

I'm sketching clothing ideas more, something I haven't done since I was a teen, and it has me thinking: how much creative expression, expertise, and knowledge have we lost to abuse and systemic violence? How much is the centering of monied men is to hide their mediocrity in the context of this?

As many issues as I have with my mom, and likely always will, the sacrifices my dad blithely expected to get his needs fulfilled Then acting as if the sacrifice of self to his fragile ego was a necessity for an entire fucking family AND the kids he didn't even bother to raise, just threw money at

Honestly, I go between disgust at how evil my dad is, a familar feeling, to disgust towards my mom for finding anything to love in someone who could treat anyone that way - ESPECIALLY kids Like, the older I get, the more vulnerable I realize I was as a child and know I was failed so much

So much of America's horrific systemic violence and commitment to capitalism inhibits the true extent of knowledge, creativity, and tech we could've created, futures we could've had, if the small talentless egos of the abusive/exploitative/fascist few weren't prioritized above all

I think about this as I think about how my mom could be an excellent interior decorator if she just gives herself the chance to do it her own way vs. whatever ableist expectations she has Instead, she did so much to just fold herself into the role of mother and wife in ways no one deserves

...they prepping her for a Stevie Nicks biopic???

I can't be the only one who sees it, like I'm surprised they never did one given how much drama I heard surrounded her band

Nothing like hearing the plumber confirm to my mom exactly what the fuck I've been saying the ENTIRE TIME And thank god I ran to use the bathroom the moment I heard bro, they shut off water to the house to get shit fixed and I ALWAYS gotta use the bathroom the moment I wake up

It's cold enough, we didn't need our bathroom to be freezing too, but I might have (thankfully) slowed the issue down that way: the vents need a deep clean bad, there's mold issues in the house right below vents to make it clear something going on there. Like stereos ain't sweaty enough for mold!

The more I hear the more I'm ❓❓❓❓❓ so lemme put on something instead of trying to guess on whatever the hell I'm hearing

creating this pocket of open mold exposure: you can see the mold trapped underneath the tile, discoloring it's surface like it's been burned by something No idea why, maybe it's cause my bathroom is bigger or my tub doesn't leak too idk idk, but it's not on that level at all in my bathroom

Hell, now that I think on it...could've been my parents bathroom that caused the reaction I had a mask on, so my breathing is just fine, but my skin HATES me right now and their bathroom wasn't exactly wide open to air out daily like mine I also have the AC closed, potentially a HUGE factor itself

@holzman-tweed.bsky.social

No idea if bro unearthed the motherload of mold or WHAT I just know my face feels like it's been rubbed with sandpaper, eyes especially, since he started investigating Wild enough, after going to my parents bedroom, their mold issue with the tile is FAR worse than mine Their toilet just ain't-

Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Like bro, you don't wanna do this job, just move and let me do it

Every time I think "Wow, I am so fucked," I see something like a 2k petition signed by a person's high school alumni personally telling them to repent for being a rape apologist and realize I have GOT to lower my standards of fuckedness I would bury myself alive if this ever happened to me!

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

Idk what anybody I knew in my youth are doing and that's how it's supposed to be, I don't need the worst demonstration of my morality being what gets them to go "Hey, you're fucking ASS" in formation 😭

Tbh I've been wondering how in tf Vivek just keeps being embarrassing as a politician by default, I mean I was starting to feel involved in a scale of degradation kink unheard of atp I mean, I don't have any answers and Trump has done worse, I'm just baffled by his choices in existence

White people have GOT to stop having a "THEIR GONNA HUNT ME FOR SPORT!!!" reaction to hearing whiteness is fascist cause, to be frank, yal don't do shit about fascists in the first place and every example of the imagined horror of retaliation is shit white folk are already doing or did to us

Absolutely does nothing to convince BIPOC of why any & all acts of self defense won't be necessary for survival when the survival of whiteness continues to demand ecological destruction, assimilation, enslavement, poverty, genocide, colonization, war, sexual abuse, and terrorism via mass shootings

Like white folk are still talking from the position of colorblind racism as if our politicians don't get elected on racism alone
