Local friends who have Music Hall memberships should let them know how you feel about this cowardly and intensely political decision.

Seth Miller @wandrme.paxex.aero · 3h

Canceling an event for "safety considerations" despite no credible threats *is* a political statement. Doing it six days out is extra shitty.

That the local PD was never contacted and says it knew of no threats makes this one even worse. 🤬🤬

Look, I’m no fan of Nate Silver, but he’s gotten a few things right over the years, which is infinitely more than Mr. Beanyman.

Non-falsifiable is one thing.

Laughable is another.

Remember that if the Democrats take power again, they will go into great detail telling you why they can't do things.

You will tell them that Trump did those things, and they will say he broke the law.

You will then ask why he hasn't been arrested, and they will be very quiet.

Is there something us Bluesky folks can do to assist this student? Because anatomy is an area of settled science. All the little bits and bobs have names and it’s important to know where they are and what they do. A “professor” who did something like this for profit should be fired immediately.

It’s about as non-gendered as “guys” which is to say kinda, sorta, not really, but maybe?

My understanding is that nothing bad happened on Jan. 6th. There were only peaceful protests by freedom-loving Americans. Does Mr. Andy Ngo disagree with that assessment?

Also my doctor said I could eat as much chocolate covered steak as I want with no repercussions.

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

This is the paradox of Mamdani. He’s obviously an immensely talented politician and yet a lot of the stuff he does is not rocket science and any politician could do it.

it would probably be sorta hard for just anyone to do it *this well* because it requires you to actually be normal about trans people, but still it feels important to state for the record that WE ARE NOT HARD TO STAND UP FOR AND ANY OF THEM COULD DO IT.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Fedora is really nice, especially if you have a background managing RHEL servers. Everything is where you expect it to be, lol.

If you get an Apple Pencil make sure the one you get is compatible with the iPad you get (if you get an iPad).

Apple makes it pretty clear if you are buying new but buying used can be trickier.

The current majority wants an authoritarian Christian theocratic state, complete with roving morality police. Inasmuch as the Constitution exists they only recognize the parts that further that goal.

It is God’s will. Everything else is just words from mere mortals.
