I believe we are ALL better off when EVERYONE has housing, healthcare, food, and education. If you're fond of punching down - especially when it comes to blaming voters/non-voters - you probably shouldn't follow me. Thanks! Sorry, can't afford to donate.

Everyone's freaking out about an old inked over tattoo, when the real story is Politico is able to buy full deleted Reddit histories of... anybody they want?

B/c it's easy to say "Nazi bad" but a lot more problematic to consider the sketchiest stuff Axel Springer or Palantir decided YOU post online

About that Reddit history? MaineStatePress: "New details are emerging about the recent Politico article on Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner.

The report highlighted a deleted Reddit account allegedly tied to Platner — but notably did not explain how that account was located or verified.

Multiple political sources now claim that advanced data-analysis tools, possibly including Palantir or similar AI-driven technology, may have been used to trace the archived account and compile identifying information linking it to Platner.

As of now, Politico has not disclosed the technical methods or sources behind the discovery."

Chapel of St Dunstan and St Ethelwold, Ely Cathedral.
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekQforQuiet 📷 #photography

A tiny side-chapel in cream stone, with black metal railings separating it off, though the gate is open. The chapel is furnished with an altar and a couple of chairs, and a light (switched on) hangs from a long chain. There is a stained glass window behind the altar.

Or "reasonable" as opposed to unreasonable?

EK @evanka.bsky.social · 2h

It's just another example of how some "purity tests" get disparaged and attacked, and not considered ok, etc.,and others don't.
A value judgement was stated above regarding them. That term was chosen for a reason.

We all have them, but only some are worthy or correct? No.

last time for the night crew:

today i wrote about a dusty springfield song - the first song i ever cried to. it's about yearning, and pleading, and broken hearts ihavethatonvinyl.com/liner-notes/...

The 45s of My Youth: You Don't Have to Say You Love Me

A woman’s voice kicks in, sweet and sorrowful. It gives me chills. It is my introduction to Dusty Springfield’s “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me,” and it changes me.

Yesterday, Stephen Miller questioned details re 170+ Americans detained by immigration agents.

“Abject lies,” he wrote.

Here’s the thing: We tracked, catalogued, and compiled every one of those 170+ cases.

Because...we do our homework.

After the British museum theft and now the Louvre heist, the premise of Euro-custodianship of global south heritage is more than debatable. Return the possessions to their community custodians.

Jah @fistfuloffries.blacksky.app · 19h

Much like colonizing museums claim about African artifacts held in European and American collections, if the Louvre cannot properly take care of its possessions, perhaps another nation can. I heard the Benin Royal Museum in Nigeria may have a space.

A green guy (maga hat) and a blue guy (dem hat) stand before a button. The green guy says "pushing this button will begin the investigation into Epstein and trump" and then gets all sanctimonious and continues "but! Bill Clinton must also be investigated--" and then two panels of the democrat slamming the button again and again to the point where maga dude is begging him to stop
