I don't know anything about At protocols but as a bit of an expert on barriers between realms, the whole point of a ring of standing stones in the darkest forest is that 99.99% of people don't have to think about them while they wait for a time when they are needed again
I think Bluesky’s AT Protocol thing sounds neat, but it’s not why people are using Bluesky. We’re here because it’s Twitter 2
It’s like if a Taco Bell cashier said “All our profits go towards building a ring of standing stones in the darkest forest” you’d say “Nice. So I’ll have a doritos chalupa”

To recap, the guy nominated Ambassador to Israel does not recognize Palestine and the guy picked to lead the military gets drunk a lot and yells stuff like "Kill all Muslims".
I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

So if Devin Nunes had a cow account, why not his top aide, Kash Patel?

The day America decided to ignore Jared Kushner's $2 billion from the Saudis, and put an insurrection-inciting convicted felon back in the White House, is the day I stopped giving a shit about any "moral high ground."
I hope President Biden takes his "presidential immunity" out for a fucking spin.

Dems/media condemning Joe for pardoning Hunter right after a psycho who has spent 4 years ranting that he was going to go after him is the most toxic kind of phony virtue signaling imaginable. Don’t forget to pat yourselves on the back from your perches on the moral high ground.

As long as Biden is in a pardoning or commuting mood, he has the ability to commute 40 federal inmates on death row to life sentences. Last time Trump was president, he went on an execution spree. Biden can clear the queue.

Biden has changed his mind on the death penalty. Why hasn’t he done more to stop it?
“He assured me that on his watch, there would be no federal executions,” Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley tells The Independent’s Washington Correspondent Eric Garcia

What if I told you that the only reason I am bald is that I’m afraid of a Ratatouille situation? What if I told you that I’d have so much hair if not for the fear of a rat using me like a puppet? These are modes of control, Neo. This is how they manipulate us. Ratatouilles, Neo. Rats that pull hair.

Serious question:
What percent of those saying “this gives Trump a precedent he didn’t have before” are law professors, lawyers, etc.?
I increasingly feel like the legal world distinctly refuses to acknowledge the naked legal realism of our present moment.

So much this. Stop pretending the pardon will allow Trump to do anything he wasn't already going to do. That was foolish to believe in 2017, but insane to believe in 2024.
it's so heartwarming to see everyone arguing over how best to Defend Norms, just like it's 2017 again. missed you all 🥰

The older I get, the more it annoys me to set up a new laptop, phone or tablet. Installing OS updates, installing apps and plugins, restoring files from backups. I used to love this when I was younger and liked to tinker endlessly with settings. Now I just want it to work.
