i apologize for the necessity of this post, but:

i have no income. my income is zero dollars. i live entirely off other people.

i cannot donate to anyone for any reason. following me just to ask is futile and wastes everyone's time & energy.

Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime

Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

jadehawk "FREE ŁINK" @jadehawk.bsky.social · 1d

oh do shut up. i'm old enough to remember that singal actually got his account deactivated several times and reactivated several times. you had plenty if evidence to ban him, y'all just decided to undo that lest he makes a public stink about it

A single moderator reviews thousands of reports per year — often making a decision in under 30 seconds. Expanding the scope of what counts as “evidence” makes it much harder to act fairly and consistently. 2/9

Tragic news from Canada where the Canadian Supreme Court has gone from the official dress on the left to the one on the right

Canadian Supreme court. Everyone is dressed in bright red wooly gowns, with a beige trim. It looks sort of like a Santa robe

i remember reading how much the influencer-based tourism trends were wrecking the north of schottland, too because it's a sparsely populated area now completely overrun with campers

this confused me until i looked it up. the chicken tax thing was about LIGHT trucks. this is about trucks in the uhaul moving truck and semi/lorry categories

my life is that I record a podcast episode all about tariffs and leave the booth just to find out there are more tariffs

Beginning November 1st, 2025, all Medium and Heavy Duty Trucks coming into the United States from other Countries will be Tariffed at the Rate of 25%. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

"Scheiss-Gerichte" - so reden CDUler jetzt über den Rechtsstaat. Es geht um viel mehr als die Migration. Das sollte allen klar sein.

(i mean, the graming is conservative nonsense, the jade helm guys were not right, but it's genuinely explaining the things that are happening instead of defending or trivializing them)

jadehawk "FREE ŁINK" @jadehawk.bsky.social · 1d

huh. genuinely good article, and it will be read by people outside of our leftie hyperaware bubble. wonder if it will penetrate.

This is INCREDIBLE. The Bearded Vulture has multigenerational nests that last for hundreds of years, built in very secluded places — and they’re FULL OF ANTHROPOGENIC ARTIFACTS.

Jonathan C Slaght @jonathanslaght.com · 5d

super cool study found human artifacts in Bearded vulture nests, incl. "weaponry like a crossbow bolt and wooden lance, decorated sheep leather, and parts of a slingshot....a shoe made from twigs and grass is ~675-years-old." link to paper: doi.org/10.1002/ecy..... www.popsci.com/environment/... 🧪🌍🦉

Multi-generational vulture nests hold 700 years of human artifacts

Crossbow bolts, sandals, slingshots, and more.

sooo heyyyyy what do you think, is the governmwnt still gonna be shut down in a month? 😬

Mark Chadbourn @chadbourn.bsky.social · 1d

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm.

Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

i think "loves the cold, will not come back inside" is also universal. at least i've never met or heard of huskies who don't love snow

Robert Mackey @robertmackey.bsky.social · 1d

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America

A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

lots of people know Łink from what he did to promote alt text usage here. this tip about pretending you’re describing an image over the phone has been burned in my brain since i saw it

bluesky post from
@knilirabaj.bsky.social that says

It's pretty cool you're using that alt text accessibility feature. It's not cool that you're not really describing the image though. Nice and simple is a good start. Descriptive and accurate is the way to go. You'll get the hang of it. Try pretending you're describing the picture over the phone.
