Your only flaw is that you may have *glances at computer* network connectivity problems

The persecution of @repilhan.bsky.social just days before an election is vile and politically-motivated. I'm leading 175 House Democrats in denouncing this. When we retake power, we have to seriously look at how we can stop these abuses of power — starting with the power of the purse.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

This mountain in China looks like it’s burning because the sun hits it at a perfect angle and the clouds are constantly moving. It is a phenomenon called alpenglow. Original post

I feel like… this is just… the ad?

WELL DONE !!!

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

I keep getting billed for someone else’s highway tolls, and the agency keeps ignoring my disputes. So instead I send a public records request for photos of the car. They deny my request because it’s not my car, so I have no right to the photos, and they simultaneously refund me. Magic.

Guys, is it good news when the biggest GOP shill on Twitter is not showing their predictions because of the impending blue wave?

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

BREAKING: BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia's strongman leader Aleksandar Vucic has conceded defeat to a student-led movement in a seismic political shift.

I’m a father of two and you could not torture this story out of me.

Google was really trying to hide its water use figures, to the degree that it got the council to try to keep its water use figures secret. The community finally got the actual numbers and found out Google was using 29 percent of the water in the community. www.wired.com/story/what-t...

Right, so, male influencers are being sent out to tell Black people that resisting data centers is wrong actually because people don't understand how to really measure their water use. It’s an appeal to scientific expertise intended to intimidate Black people.

Everyone who is saying "Dems in red states have to throw trans people under the bus to win" -- no. They don't. When they do that, we just start with no winning options on the table. It gives in to the fascist premise that we get to decide some groups don't get rights. THIS is what I want to see.

The soaring costs of public universities is a political decision. When these schools predominantly served white students, they tended to be free (UC, CCNY, etc.) But as the number of students of color has increased, funding for the public universities has decreased. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/b...

only an elitist like obama would invoke the factory to ridicule someone

THE FACTORY

bring back shame

nobody out-cheesecakes the factory

just saw this absolutely cracked ad during the michigan game about how thanks to aoc and ilhan omar, white people can't show their faces in public anymore

It’s such an insanely stupid ad and another examples of MAGA mind in the MAGA bubble unable to see how normal human beings think

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

Everyone has kind of laughed it off but there’s actually now an official investigation by multiple organizations into why my US election ballot hasn’t been released from US customs in a month without any explanation.

Are you even aware that it is cybersecurity month?

Culturally, we're talking about an institution where until 2015, academics were still drinking from a cup made from a skull that was rumoured to belong to an enslaved Caribbean woman.
