let me just say as someone who has sued the local and federal government:

You do not need money to do that. That is not how it works. The money donated to Robbie whatever is going to him. It will not harm the Trump administration or ICE in any way.

This guy is a fucking grifter. I saw people in my own subreddit lauding him as a hero for being briefly detained and cited by ICE.

The money he is raising will not be used to hurt the administration. Those kind of lawsuits don't work that way. You are shotgunning cash into a void.

Robby is a grifter. He has 3 active gofundme’s going on.

Portland: if a streamer from out of state gets arrested or detained, perhaps wait to see if he gets more than a citation before donating $100,000+ to his "legal defense". that money is vastly in excess of what he might possibly need and could have gone to helping people in serious legal jeopardy

Somehow I'm hungover after just having the equivalent of 3 beers last night

They play it as a joke but Issac on Ghosts is right to hate on Hamilton

It's kinda funny that my regular place to eat is literally the Dawson's Creek collage bar, a show I never watched.

Here's the problem with Jonathan Franzen: he's a good enough writer to back his pretentious air. Like, he's really fucking good.

There's a YouTuber that I watch that does their videos outside on a mountain vista and instantly knew they were filming in Spearfish SD on trails that I used to mountain bike on. I love that I instantly know that area when I see it

In a couple of weeks New Yorkers go to the polls to decide who is about to become the most hated man in the city for the next four years

It's wild to me that people are having a meltdown about Katie Porter's comments yet every day this administration doesn't even consider 2/3rds of this country as citizens

There's a SNL cast member that I absolutely don't understand how they didn't get cut when other people did...

Just finished the 'You Must Remember This' 10 part series on Polly Platt and it's one of the best produced pieces on a person. Absolutely interesting and beautiful

Idiocracy is the Mike Judge thing everyone tends to point to as being a "documentary" but honestly, the thing closest to a documentary that he made was Silicon Valley.

I do coffee as well but there have been days where I'll actually just grab one and be good. Might be better for me tbh

I kinda wish I never tried a Celcus because I'm starting to develop a problem.

I don't feel like I'm missing out on a lot not being a dad except maybe Bluey. Dudes my age with kids are obsessed with it

"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't

Michael Caley @michaelcaley.bsky.social · 3d

there have been a lot of responses to this arguing that young Republicans were motivated by such feelings but didn't express them openly

and I think a crucial lesson of the Trump era is that there is great value in people not expressing these things openly! that's a big and decisive change!

Amanda Marcotte @amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 4d

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

I keep thinking about BKV and Martin's Private Eye and how precinct it is with where we're heading

The end of free Windows 10 support this Wednesday could be an environmental disaster, cutting off 400 million PCs from security updates and dooming millions of still usable computers.

The End of Windows 10 Support Is an E-Waste Disaster in the Making

In an example of egregious planned obsolescence, as many as 400 million computers will soon hit the waste stream.
