Considering how right-wing projection works, does this mean Destiny and Ethan are animal abusers?

Hasan shows off the “shock collar.”

And look at that, everyone attacking him looks like a fucking moron.

Okay now everything makes sense on why BSky has been getting hostile toward leftists and marginalized groups. The Heritage Foundation has been coordinating Republican strategy both at the policy and social-manipulation level and they landed on Bsky. And Bluesky complied happily rather than resist.

Jojo she/her @jojofe24.bsky.social · 15d

Um.

Just um. Yeah.

This is a problem.

Is bluesky safe?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

If you are a woman or female presenting in the Valley look out for a man with glasses and this plate. Took it off a TikTok video in which LITERALLY HUNDREDS of women reported him asking for help moving a box from his backseat to his trunk with a fake bandage around his arm, something Ted Bundy did.

Stability testing for the Fallout series is done, they generally all function smooth as silk now. New Vegas had the most interesting fix to apply, learned some new tech things in the process there.

It sometimes is but in my mind I do differentiate them if I'm getting down into the nitty-gritty of political views in America. Centrists are the sorts who arbitrarily seek 50/50 split on policy and power. Liberals are the polite version of Libertarians, hence them excusing bigotries.

I'm done trying to go over Sinder's doc.

That is one of the most awful pieces of shit I've seen. She's trying to drama farm, particularly with her "speculation" sections. That is not something you do if you declare an intent to move on past a situation. You intend to stay in it for a while longer.

One of the best anime I've seen and it's not even a genre theme I particularly care for either. It's so good.

Well what I mean to illustrate is the literal nature of "conservative." Conserve. To keep things as they are. Which is what establishment / centrist Democrats have done in my lifetime. Never moving policy much in either direction. Republicans regress policy, resetting positive national gains.

#vtuber things,
I skipped to the end for the moment to see how she closes things out and,
"We’re going to try to contact anyone we owe an apology to personally, even if an apology to them was in this document, and hope to move on."

Sinder. This isn't how apologies work. It's not paperwork you file.

In Ireland we grow up learning about how in the Dark Ages pilgrims would travel here from all over Europe to read books that had been saved here while they were lost elsewhere & I think we need to get our politicians to think like this about things like Basic Income. A light for the darkening world.

Look this is too long to try and do tonight, I'm just glancing over Sinder's document, but I noticed this and it's an immediate red flag. Disabling copy + paste means you want to prevent people from easily documenting what you put out, in case you try to stealth-edit. Come on dude.

Even if Democrats end up back in the White House they will start babbling about unity and moving forward and no one will go to jail for any of this shit. So yeah. She doesn't fear any consequences because Democrats have given her no reason to

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

To be clear, DHS Sec. Kristi Noem will fly into PDX Airport, drive from PDX Airport to check into some swank hotel in our beautiful city with an amazing view, drive through our beautiful neighborhoods, eat at our restaurants, and then lie on national TV about our city, while seeing ALL of this! 👇🏾
