Hey @quyetpawz.bsky.social you were inserted in a "reactionary resisters" blocklist I had been subscribing to and had to unsub as a result. If you noticed or saw I was blocking you it was unintentional and I apologise

yeah because rage mobs—especially social media rage mobs—will absolutely convince an elderly lame-duck, someone who is likely medically unfit to serve in the first place, someone who is up for reelection until 2030 and someone not even a democrat that they need to leave early, foh brian beutler

50 years ago today, #OTD in Weather History, on November 10, 1975, the Great Lake ore freighter SS EDMUND FITZGERALD was lost with all hands in a severe storm on Lake Superior.
So it is time for the annual reupping of my thread on her loss.

not gonna lie, it would be legitimately hilarious if the gop absolutely caved on snap like this because the dems came out and said (correctly, mind you) this was a shit bill, thus duping the gop into thinking they needed to pass it
This deal funds SNAP through the end of next year, right? So starving children would be off the table in a February shutdown fight. Maybe that makes a difference or maybe not.

Wondering if Ezra Klein will bother acknowledging that none of the advice he was giving Democrats was worth the paper it was written on? Historic Democratic victories across the nation without throwing trans people to the wolves. Imagine that.

god it's almost like larry ellison's son wants cbs news to fail cause he never wanted it in the first place
Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

for shits and giggles i clicked on the link, of course it's kids web services doing this "verification" by incredibly invasive methods such as scanning your driver's license or asking for your SS # AND address. no fucking thank you.

any other way you can get around an age verification requirement is probably also legal!
I can't know the law everywhere. I know this one because this is the one that gave me this notice. Know your own laws if you care, know your own rights, but VPN use is generally legal. You deserve privacy.

OHIO: know your rights!
This message from bluesky is a LIE! You, an individual, are NOT required by the law to verify your age. Bluesky is required to have you verify your age IF it detects that you are in Ohio.
if it does not detect that you are there, YOU DO NOT NEED TO VERIFY! vpn use is legal!

David D. Smith, chairman of Sinclair Broadcast Group, an all-around scoundrel who has been at the forefront of his company selling local news tainted with right-wing hackery. He is solely to blame for all this and just incinerated a relationship with ABC that went back decades. Say his name out loud

Don't forget they have their claws on ch. 28, a coatrack of digital subchannel networks, as well as CW on ch. 53. Fox? It's "Fox 28" but on a @wsyx6.bsky.social subchannel.
That's right, Sinclair controls three channels in Cbus, one of which they actually own. They've LONG manipulated the system.

Columbus' ABC affiliate, @wsyx6.bsky.social, is a Sinclair affiliate. I just sent them an email telling them that due to Sinclair's dumb decision to not air Jimmy Kimmel going forward I'm going to contact the companies which advertise with them and explain to them why they're being boycotted.

100% agree. This is something where it is fully incumbent on Disney/ABC to restore goodwill. Now, I'm of the belief that they can, but they need to do it first, and it's going to take time. To paraphrase LeBron, goodwill is not given, it is earned
We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.
