Pretty perfect weather for living in a sukka.

I think there is a lot of merit to consider locality based PDSes. Folks from Baltimore can have a Baltimore PDS, operated from servers in Baltimore, controlled by and accountable to people in Baltimore. Same for other cities, counties, etc. Like how Craigslist does it.

Anyway, I'm moving over to @goldstein.myatproto.social. I already have the account because I made an account asap to move away from bsky cuz their team have always given me an ick feeling and I vastly prefer to be in a helpful and healthy community with the marginalized.

Wait, is this what people are mad at? That they aren't Black and should feel uncomfortable at having a blacksky handle instead of a myatproto handle? That's absurd. Even before this became a policy I explicitly chose a myatproto handle instead of blacksky because I am not Black. Y'all, have respect.

I disagree. I think its best to let this be a purely organic, festering conversation among the rank and file. Any sign of D involvement can potentially be used to rally against a common threat. By staying out of it (and looking clueless), its hard for R's to pin this on D's.

LMAO. Incredible. Congratulations to Trump for managing to find a basis of commonality between two nuclear rivals who have been lowkey one of the biggest threats to a nuclear flashpoint for the last few decades. And, I guess, with the Taliban as well.

I remember when Obamacare was being passed and it was said that Obamacare was sort of destined to fail so that people would demand M4A because they would not accept going back to not having any health insurance whatsoever. I don't remember who said it but I have the impression it was Obama's plan.

CNN is close to just admitting that Netanyahu is a fascist.

LMAO. What a brutal "bless his heart" message. "While we will not be returning to a relationship, I joyfully look forward to seeing how God uses you gift and calling" is going to be how I break up with people from now on.

One easy trick to getting a ceasefire, Israelis hate him.

"Trump has laid the groundwork for the moment by squeezing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and showing new deference to Arab allies who are expected to coax Hamas to halt the fighting."

Both gold and silver prices are going up. Meanwhile the dollar is down 10%. Trump has destroyed consumer confidence in the American dollar and investors are looking for alternatives.

Myanmar’s military government has bombed a protest, killing 24.

Few people pose as much a threat to America's Experiment as literal concentration camp prison guard Jeffrey Goldberg.

in a perfect world Prime Day would be a Day of Mourning for the anniversary of Optimus Prime's death.

I cry every time.

How much does Amazon pay for all these "look at this awesome deal we found you for Prime Day" articles that I keep seeing? I mean, I have a feed exclusively for newspapers and journalists and its just inundated by this stuff. I wouldn't have known about Prime Day otherwise.

Stephen Holstrom did nothing wrong.

It is interesting to me that Pam Bondi refuses, when under oath, to deny the allegation that they found pictures of Trump. She deflects, she rambles, she raves, she attacks, but at no point does she say something that should be easy to say if it were true, except for the possibility of perjury.

The only reason for global warming at this point is to fatten the wallets of a small but powerful group of people who would rather kill the planet than be less wealthy.

Strongly recommend that anyone who enjoys sci-fi watch Pantheon.

Just because they are bad at being fascist doesn’t mean it’s not fascism.

Saudi royalty taking over rugby the same way they did golf.
