A screenshot of a post from someone named DONT MESS WITH TX @command10.bsky.app that says DONT MESS WITH TX @command10.bsky.app Trump gets demonized every hour of every day, but here is the difference. He is not performing for the approval of the media class. He is trying to fix things. He is willing to take the hits to get policy right instead of settling for applause lines that leave Americans vulnerable.

I moved to Portland Oregon from Oklahoma 2 years ago and this is the most Oklahoma-looking shit I’ve seen in a while
An older silver Toyota Tacoma that has the driver’s side window broken and the door smashed a little. It it held together with duct tape and they put a vinyl American flag where the window should be to protect it from the rain

I know posting this will probably get me sent to the Bluesky penitentiary upstate, but screw it I’m posting anyway.

I am feeling happy today!

Did anyone else’s family have a countertop can opener that looked like this but the plastic was yellowed to hell when they were a kid? I was opening a can of beans to make chili and got a shiver of a sense memory

This @wired.com article interviewing Cybertruck owners is exactly as wild as you would expect. Absolutely worth a read.

The editor's not on the second screenshot made me burst out laughing

And are you married? I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle. In July, Tesla rolled out a software update to integrate Grok into many of its vehicles. Do you use it? Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist. When I'm driving, I'll ask questions, and it actually gives really good therapy advice. How do you feel about becoming a political lightning rod? People occasionally just flip [me] off or whatever, but nobody's come up to me and tried to make a statement about anything. Personally, it's kind of dumb. It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is. [Editor’s note: Taylor was arrested and pled guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. He was later pardoned by President Trump.]

This article by @katblaque.bsky.social is 🔥🔥🔥. My mind was opened with this explanation of how gender is used to reinforce capitalism. Oppression is so interrelated and this is not a way I’ve thought of it being connected before blaqueinthecity.com/2025/08/15/d...
A screenshot with highlighted text “Capitalists understand that gender is one of the main modes of control because patriarchy has been so instilled within us via colonization that people easily fall into line when they feel their gender is questioned”

Defcon gave me this nasty blister and Vegas was as hot as hell, but it was totally worth it. I had a great first defcon and will gladly go back
