Trump is weak and the sooner we accept that, the easier it will be to defeat him.

You know the thing that will piss off Blusky the most is that what truly caused Musk's crash out and might have caused a MAGA civil war was DEMOCRACY. Literally because we won the WI Supreme Court race, Musk was kicked from government which made him bitter and lead to well this.

Yep. I learned soon to not think of what should have happened. I would have given myself a stroke from frustration otherwise

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

At Broadview detention center, organizers say ICE detainees “have been snatched away from their dining room tables, and now they have been taken away from the Eucharistic table.” The crowd shouts: “Shame!”

As the procession reaches Broadview, priests have been denied access to ICE detention facility in order to bring the Eucharist to detainees.

The issue with the sin-eater is it’s so fucking obvious a way to either feel better about their country or pretend they’re better. And I get the kick BUT doing that is only harming yourself as you ignore the real problems by telling yourself “it’s not our fault, IT’S THE SIN-EATERS.”

I remember one interesting is how some European countries don’t record the race of the victims and criminals to be “race blind” but all it did was make it impossible to actually count racial discrimination in the justice system.

As someone that is Chinese: 100%. Japan, China and South Korea all hate each other and not all of it is from Japan’s war crimes. It’s just racism and ego.

Post like this and I unfollow and mute. This is erasing centuries of European pogroms and other violence prior to WWII by making America the sin-eater for the entire Western world. I won't have it and I won't let it slide:

I mean, R&D budget is the thing being targeted. Arguably that could damage defense contractors. They might have standing.

"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 14h

This is coming to mind right now as the president goes to unconstitutionally appropriate and spend funds during a shutdown, a thing he absolutely cannot do, but which I imagine the courts will say that no one - save perhaps congress, collectively - has standing to sue to block.

I am forever grateful to the friends who stuck by me when I was in the worst of my depression and part of that gratitude is from realizing they had every right to walk away to protect themselves.

K. Chen @tznkai.bsky.social · 13h

But at the same time being on the treated side of depression it's just so blindingly obvious when people are externalizing their own misery in an antisocial way and I want to help them but there's absolutely no way to.

I can feel myself getting very mad at these people because you know AT LEAST I DIDN'T MAKE MY DEPRESSION EVERYONE ELSE'S PROBLEM which is a little true and also kind of a lie, so I want to give some grace.

This is a great explanation for what I've referred to as verbal pollution on Bluesky.

Zeb Larson @zeblarson.bsky.social · Jul 27

Bluesky’s unique poster archetype is “depressed liberal/leftist who is making others responsible for their emotions” and they all need to be muted.

Half the time I post something related to race on this website I get someone in the comments like, “yeah america is a racist country what do you expect.” I’m starting to think folks like this are bots or ops designed to make people feel helpless. Think we should call it “doomsplaining”

Bad Bunny went from bagging groceries recording music on SoundCloud to being one of the most streamed artists in the world. He embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of Latinos that Republicans say should make them natural conservatives. Instead they are crashing out on him.

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

it actually offends me how sloppy and careless they are. anyone who’s ever been laid off knows the panic you feel when it happens. and while obviously it’s good that they backtracked, these are people’s fucking LIVELIHOODS they’re messing with.

Benjamin Netanyahu spent DECADES saying only he could keep Israel safe from Hamas. He consistently rebuffed efforts for peace because he said it would empower Iran or make Israel less safe. Then under his watch, Israel saw the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.

Assuming the hostages are actually released and Israel does pull out of Gaza, perhaps another positive outcome will be that people will get it through their heads that MOST OF US JEWS ACTUALLY CAN’T STAND NETANYAHU.

I spent way too long having to put up with a joy-draining force in my life who told me "I bet there are homeless people drowning at the river bottom" whenever I acted happy that it rained, I'm officially inoculated against having to put up with this shit on social media of all places.

politiBOO! @politiburb.bsky.social · 17h

I feel like there's just a segment of the population, trans or cis or otherwise, who will always insist that being happy is fundamentally a character flaw that implies you are insufficiently aware of/don't care enough about the world's problems

I don't want to undercut the damage OMB is doing, but realize how small in the swing of things these RIFs actually are.

Vought wants to make it sound like he's axing huge majorities of the government and it's just not realistic.
