My wife's cousin is on a solo mission to burn down the rainforests with his inane AI creations featuring himself.

Last week he posted a long sitcom type montage of him and his "adopted alien son".

Randomly saw this ad for a show tonight with Hutch Harris (The Thermals) for $5. That's some serious budget entertainment.

Seems like a bad idea to fire air traffic controllers when there's already a shortage but what do I know

I'm grateful for @counciloravalos.bsky.social leadership and that of her co-sponsors @councilorepg.bsky.social , @councilortkl.bsky.social, and @councilorclark.bsky.social in meeting the moment. There should be no question in the minds of Portlanders where their city stands against Trumpism.

The desperation to silence critics is an indication of how terrified they are that they will lose their grip.

Katie Drummond @katie-drummond.bsky.social · 3d

This is terrifying. @davidgilbert.bsky.social spoke to Rutgers professor Mark Bray, who wrote a book about antifa and is now being deluged by death threats.

Bray and his family tried to flee for Europe this weekend. Their tickets were mysteriously canceled right before they boarded the plane.

He Wrote a Book About Antifa. Death Threats Are Driving Him Out of the US

Rutgers historian Mark Bray is trying to flee to Spain after after an online campaign from far-right influencers was followed by death threats. He was turned back at the airport on his first attempt.

Thanks for all of it!
