multiple explanations of a phenomenon may be true: yes, it's a naked money grab; yes, it's a clear power grab; yes, it's a nazi takeover; yes, it's an autogolpe.
the totalitarian states are always incredibly corrupt; morally, financially, politically – corruption is both the goal and the method.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

so the good news is that poland won't join trump's board of peace grift, but the annoying news is that our prime minister's statement is as mealy-mouthed as possible.
i understand the reason why, but it still leaves a very specific distaste.

My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding.
There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

so the brits are still freaking out about immigrants even after shanking themselves through brexit in order to stop freedom of movement?
i can't help but wonder if the immigration isn't just a pretext, and if perhaps the brits are just fucking racists who hate everyone else.

Insightful thread.
I think this argument rhymes with work @ntusikov.bsky.social and I have done using Susan Strange’s knowledge structure concept. AI’s effect on society is primarily in its reconception of knowledge away from “scientific” expertise and toward correlation-driven oracular knowledge.

There's a kind of intellectual malaise among a certain kind of socialist that just doesn't understand automation and I think probably comes from not having worked much on or around it.

lol.
In his first interview since cutting ties with the speaker of Poland's parliament over his "outrageous insults" against President Donald Trump, the US ambassador has refused to specify what those insults were.
He also says the US remains "Poland’s best ally and greatest friend".

age verification? i crossed the german-german border in 1989.
Age verification? Growing up I used a gramophone to play my mum's 78rpm jazz records. And how to indicate I was about to make a turn by sticking my arm out the driver's side window on vehicles that didn't have indicators. (It was on the driving test back then.)
Age verification?
I used to have to stick my finger into one of several holes in a phone and rotate a circular piece of plastic, repeating the process a certain number of times to input the number I wanted to call.
