We waited 20 years for John Bolton to be punished for telling lies about Iraq.

Instead, he gets punished for telling the truth about Trump.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

I did not have @johnmoe.bsky.social, @pftompkins.bsky.social , and the rest of the Wits crew doing a rendition of the Soft Boys' "I Wanna Destroy You" on my Bingo card tonight. I am *so* glad they did.

it's a joke. the "this user is suspected..." is just part of the post the user added themselves.

The "Misleading" tag is from Bluesky, but it's because of that "suspected Antifa" text and not the hitler stuff

I checked, and as of now this post is still flagged this way. Bluesky has a lot of explaining to do.

not a good look jay

a post of mine with the "misleading" label

Adolf hitler led the german nazi party during and leading up to wwii, during which time he committed the holocaust by having millions of people murdered in camps, and that was bad

There are a lot of compelling reasons why I think folks should rank Dr. DeWayne Davis on their ballots in Minneapolis - but that goes doubly for LGBTQ+ folks and those who love us. 🌈

Nebula has the lowest fee and ad free viewing, away from the cesspool that is now YouTube (Many also post later on YouTube, but then you'd have to go to YT. I mean, ick.)

Great creators, great shows, great price. I have a couple of guest passes available if you wanna try it out.

For the ‘boycotts don’t work’ crowd…

“Target Corp.'s (TGT) stock has plummeted 33% since the rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, wiping out over $20 billion in shareholder value by mid-September 2025.”

Target Faces Boycott: 200 Days Without DEI, Financial Impact Grows

Target's DEI rollback triggered a 200-plus day boycott, $20B market value loss, a massive decline in foot traffic, and a CEO's departure.

*taps mic*

remember: this is not just egregious lies about autism which is already bad enough

it's also about ensuring pregnant people suffer by trying to make them afraid of taking painkillers

don't let the ableism hide the misogyny

In today's edition of The Upside Down, I find myself in agreeing (in part) with George Will. This is the world we now live in, where Will is closer to the voice of reason than any other Republican. (RL:DR we are all doomed.)

Oh yeah, this part is definitely correct.

Not only is the right to exercise violence is a right afforded only by whiteness, but whiteness can never be a legitimate target of violence, and the right to DEFINE violence is also the exclusive property of whiteness.

Clarkisha Kent @clarkishakent.blacksky.app · Sep 13

I think it truly boils down to Republicans/MAGA believing that they *OWN* violence and can choose—at any point and at any time—to deploy it against those they hate and wish dead.

Official Statement
For Immediate Release
On the evening of August 30, 2025 after taking a wrong turn somewhere near Albuquerque, Mayor Giuliani was involved in a motor vehicle accident. He was flagged down by a giant male rabbit dressed up as an attractive female rabbit who identified themself as having witnessed a "moyder" Mr. Giuliani remained on scene until a duck and a pig dressed as Old English bobbys arrived.
Following this incident, while traveling on the highway, Mayor Giuliani drove into what he thought was a tunnel, but which turned out to be a painting on the side of a mountain.
Mayor Giuliani's vehicle was crushed into the shape of accordion bellows, which emitted musical notes as they expanded and contracted. A flattened Mr. Guilini waddled free from beneath the wreckage, his enlarged teeth emerging from his mouth in the shape of piano keys.
His business partner was promptly contacted, and he was admitted to Acme Looniversity Hospital, curiously under the care of the same rabbit he encountered earlier.
That's all, folks.
F. Leghorn
Head of Mayor Giuliani's Security
