Best reason to go off the record.
A highlighted excerpt from a news story, apparently about a new washroom in the city bus terminal: "A second person who checked out the women's restroom and who asked not to be identified because she has always wanted to be an anonymous source - reported her findings by email: "Black shiny granite..."

Last night's biggest surprise was Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, led by Casey Hudson, who directed KOTOR (and Anthem). Exciting news for lots of people... but Lucasfilm says the studio was founded this year, which means that 2030 is an *optimistic* guess. Maybe it'll be a PlayStation 7 game

Chainsaw Man is simultaneously worthy of serious discussion for its heartfelt look at society and cycles of abuse and dehumanization, and it's also like, a fantastic nonstop barrage of shitposts

Any time corporate executives are in a room together and don't know they're being recorded, the transcript is like: "Christ, I hate our customers. We're agreed that we all hate our customers? Let's lie to the IRS, criminally. Did I mention the Holocaust never happened? Put more lead in our soda."

Campbell's soup VP caught on tape trashing his own brand. Oof. www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2...
In the lawsuit, Garza alleges Bally said Campbell's makes "highly processed food" for "poor people" and made several derogatory comments about Indian employees, calling them "idiots." "We have s--t for f**king poor people. Who buys our s--t? | don't buy Campbell's products barely anymore. It's not healthy now that I know what the f—'s in it," part of the recording said. "Bioengineered meat -- I don't wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3-D printer."

We really dont know what happened to the body… right? 🐟 #dragonball
Lanch and Krillin are pulling out Raditz’s body from a car trunk after he fought Piccolo and Goku. Bulma is looking around her surroundings to check they’re not being watched. Roshi has a shovel while the Turtle is frustrated at the scene. Launch: The car trunk? Really?! Krillin: I freaked out, ok?!

Alex sees another trans woman says thinks "egad! another trans woman in the wild!" She gets into a contorted possession and puts her fingers to her forehead like she is doing Piccolo's special beam cannon. She think "I shall psychically communicate solidarity with her." The other trans woman notices Alex from across the street. She thinks to herself "hey, it's that bitch from the internet I hate."

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.
Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like.

maybe my favorite historical burn is the straightforwardness of calling a slavecatcher “worth a great deal to hang, but good for nothing else”. physical force abolitionists really had style.

The Stop Killing Games initiative is giving up because of a relentless campaign of misinformation and verbal abuse largely directed by PirateSoftware/Thor, which has completely tanked their momentum and burned out its founder.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth

help I'm obsessed with the warring mother robins who unhappily share a nest
facebook post with a collection of photos and video of a huge clutch of robin eggs and two adult robins squished together in the same nest: "I’ve had robins on my porch every year. This year has been quite interesting! On Sunday I found two eggs in the nest and by Tuesday afternoon there were 8 eggs! I had never seen that many. So I did a little bit of research and found out that 8 eggs means they were likely laid by two different females. So I set up a camera to see what would happen. And much to my surprise there are two females caring for the eggs. They are NOT happy to be sharing the nest. But they are stubborn and neither mother is willing to leave her eggs. I read that usually the robins are so territorial that one mother will leave. During the day they kick each other out of the nest taking turns sitting on the eggs. Then at night they both have such a strong instinct to sit on the eggs all night that they BOTH sit on the nest. One bird sits on the other. They fight and peck at each other constantly! Although they seem to have come to some sort of understanding and tolerate each other much better now. Here are some pictures and videos of these very stubborn and devoted mother robins. I can tell them apart by their markings by their eyes. And I can tell they are both females by the way the mothers settle onto the eggs and cover them with their brood patch. Have you ever seen two females sit on the nest at the same time!? St Thomas, Ontario Canada May 4, 2025" one mother robin sits on top of the other mother robin in the same nest the two robins face off in the nest at night

An aid ship heading to Gaza has sent out a distress signal after crew members say it was hit in a drone attack and has caught fire. There are 30 aid workers on board the Freedom Flotilla ship, which was attempting to break Israel’s 2-month aid blockade.

Another lawyer interviewed in the piece:
A few months ago, I had a similar conversation with another attorney. This attorney practices post-conviction law. I had called to talk about another matter, but the conversation inevitably turned to Trump. This attorney mentioned that he’d recently had some work done on his home, and had gotten to know one of the contractors. The contractor was undocumented, and feared he may be deported. In the 20-some years he’d been in the U.S., this contractor had done well for himself — he owned his contracting business, his home, and some property. He asked if the attorney could help him transfer the business and title to his home and property to his son, who is a U.S. citizen. The attorney and his wife — who is also a lawyer — agreed to help. “As my wife and I started filling out the paperwork, we realized that we might be doing this sort of work for other people over the next few years, so she suggested we bring up one of the old desktops from the basement, so whatever immigration work we were doing would be on a separate computer.” The attorney’s college-aged son had taken an interest in all of this. “My son asked if what we were doing was illegal. I told him it was all perfectly legal. Then he asked me a question I really couldn’t answer: Why did we feel like we had to take these steps to hide legal work that was perfectly legal? And all I could think to say was that this is the kind of country we live in now.”

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids.

Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...
“A couple days later, on March 6, I was working from home at around 11:30 when I got a notice that my VPN had gone down,” he says. “I didn’t think much about it. It can cut out from time to time. About 10 minutes later, I got a knock at the door.” Two men were outside Jackson’s door, dressed in slacks and polos. They were not wearing badges. “I first thought they were going to try to sell me something. But as soon as I opened the door they said, ‘Are you Clayton Jackson?’ I think I shook my head or said ‘yeah,’ and then I heard, ‘We have information that you are obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation.’” Jackson says alarms went off in his head. “My first instinct was to want to know what this was about. That it must be a misunderstanding. So I started to tell them about how I’ve been involved in some pro bono work. Then this voice in my head kicked in and just said, you need to shut the fuck up — don’t say anything.” The officers never identified themselves. They did ask if they could come inside. “I said absolutely not,” Jackson says. “I asked for their names and badge numbers. They said they didn’t have to provide that information at this time. So I told them I’d be calling my lawyer and I shut the door behind me.” Jackson says his mind started racing. “I needed to know who they were, what agency they were with. Then I remembered that I have the Ring camera. Maybe I could watch the video of the incident and figure out who they were from that.” There was no video. “That’s when I learned why my VPN had gone down. It wasn’t the VPN. Someone had shut off my Wifi.” About 15 minutes after the interaction at his front door, Jackson’s Wifi was up and running again.
