Anybody that’s ever played a single game of basketball knows the bounce pass is the safest type of pass to make.

if blue state governors and mayors aren't already thinking about the reliability of various police forces nominally under their control, they should start immediately

If one pillar of Grimdark is that the system is FUBAR, that makes room for the writer to build a story about people defying the broken system to their last breath, and I’ll be damned if that’s not aspirational.

30 telecoms masts AND ~15 various electrical grid units have been sabotaged last months in south-east Sweden.

The sabotages are concentrated along highway E22, ie one of the main routes needed to reinforce Gotland in case of conflict. Ports are along this route, with the main one in the middle.

People are underestimating the good s data center can bring to a rural community: can you imagine how much copper you can strip outta them walls?

My family survives via HUD, Medicaid, and SSI, and I’m still on the side of maybe just shut this thing down forever. Don’t ever fund this shitshow for any reason. However at the same time I have a feeling that they don’t need the gov to be officially funded to keep draining money from it.

You don’t need to go through the trouble of turning on your computer and loading up an AI and prompting it when writing a dungeon synth track is really as easy as sitting a brick on your keyboard.

If Trump were probably, definitively, beyond a shadow of a doubt the Beast from Revelation, what would he be doing differently

It's banned books week and so I'm legally obligated to bully you, a person who has ever had their name on a book, into joining @authorsabb.bsky.social.

We fight the source of book bans with calls to action, partnership w everyone in the game, and offer training.

If you still know anyone who imagines that Pritzker or Johnson will order police under their command to arrest federal agents, you can send them this (1hr12min42sec timestamp). They are explicit that they will not and they view courts as only venue for enforcement.

My last vestiges of respect for the armed forces sadly evaporated a moment ago when I learned that they let Bill Eigel make it all the way to captain.

that one day they’re gonna do roko’s basilisk but it’s just going to be dhs agents subsidised by meta

a tiny town near mine is having a popular uprising against the building of a data center but the politicians seem determined to get it done despite no discernible public benefit and the apparently real possibility of tin foil hat violence and it made me ponder

Could we all duck and cover for a few weeks and let them wear each other out? don’t @ me I know the stakes lol ☠️

With Miller treating fed judges like they run antifa, is it possible they look right over the heads of protesters and spend all their pol capital shooting at high level democrats and other LEO that tbh a lot of regular folks don’t know and don’t care about, giving the masses a bit of a head start?

I see some people talking about it but “talking” mostly means a single carefully worded skeet and then hurry past. At some point Pritzker or Newsom is going to activate some to preempt Trump activating some, or in opposition to them ones Trump activated.

If you ask them nicely the marine corps university press will send you all kinda books for free.

Post-dub lofi harsh noise beats to plan an urban insurgency to

Like… it's kind of right there, no?

Who wait a minute please let me know how this plays out because I don’t think I can bear to listen for myself.

As October begins, we contemplate how the sea wind had its way with this now-fungal saint.

And these were for significant votes too, no less.

Periodic reminder that your local politicians generally come pretty cheap. My mid sized urban center had multiple aldermen get popped by the feds for bribes ranging from $1000 to a modest used car. I’ve been steamed that I didn’t know I could afford a local politician for a minute now.
