I SAW ANTIFA LEADERSHIP DANCING WITH THE DEVIL IN COP CITY

ADHD Preacher @adhd-preacher.bsky.social · 9h

I heard directly from the antifa leadership that all of the antifa documents are stored in the cloud by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

I also heard that there are backups stored on Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud.

Definitely don't go after ANTIFA's Temu income stream either. It would be terribly tragic if the entire company fell and crippled ANTIFA's ability to rebuild.

I think this is pretty much true and why it’s important not just to defund police but also diminish their political power. Everything cops do is politics.

i think this fundamentally misstates the constraint: if he uses the police to directly obstruct ICE operations, he gets hit with the Insurrection Act. if he puts the cops in a position where they have to choose which orders to follow, they will currently not pick the governor.

starch mogul @posts-cards.bsky.social · 11h

this kind of wishcasting around pritzker ignores that he hasn't once wielded the power of the state in a creative way since DHS and ICE invaded us

the rhetoric's good and he plays a governor on TV very well, but there's no evidence of a capacity for clever use of power, unfortunately

Suspension of accts from Bluesky has called into question the mission and very existence of Blacksky. "If bsky can still suspend you, what's the point?"

For one usually Bluesky doesn't just suspend you. They delete all of your data AND suspend you. Moving to Blacksky prevents that. 4/11

Lower income New Yorkers are more likely to ride the bus s. Also the house he used to live in before he split with Sandra Lee is worth 1.8 million dollars (third link) and had five bedrooms and six bathrooms and at 5,000 sqft meets the historical definition of a mansion

The House Majority Whip is also insisting that a peaceful "No Kings" demonstration is in fact a "hate America rally" held for the "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.

Really feels like they're trying to manifest a violent reaction to it.

When a member of the bar tells you “yo, this is rap”

Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com · 1d

"The reasonable listener of 'Not Like Us' would conclude that Lamar is rapping hyperbolic vituperations."

“Not Like Us” is replete with profanity, trash-talking, threats of violence, and figurative and hyperbolic language, all of which are indicia of opinion. A reasonable listener would not equate a song that contains lyrics such as, “Ain’t no law, boy, you ball boy, fetch Gatorade or somethin’, since 2009 I had this b**** jumpin’,” with accurate factual reporting. Accordingly, the reasonable listener of “Not Like Us” would conclude that Lamar is rapping hyperbolic vituperations.

It’s not the merits of the candidates (I am not a Mainer or deeply familiar with their politics), because Bernie’s choice might really be the right one. It’s that his argument for this is to avoid a divisive primary. Avoid. A. Divisive. Primary. I’m sick.

Honestly, this is unironically the best way to experience Waiting for Godot. This man (and I'm sure it's a man) internalized the experience at the core of the play in a way no one who knew what they were in for ever could.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.
