I wasn't wanking. Don't you dare put in the newspaper that I'm a wanker.

Question: Did you see photo evidence your boss is a pedophile?

Answer: How dare you ask me that salacious question?

There isn't a jury in the world so unsophisticated that they'd fail to notice "she didn't say 'no.'"

I haven't posted in a month. Busy time.

But on the plus side, I also haven't humiliated myself like Bsky leadership has these last few weeks.

Apparently, I died this week. It's been lovely seeing all the remembrances.

I was a handsome lad, wasn't I?

Is he our first ALL-CAPS POPE?

Might be. Don't remember Francis being a capslock guy.

Any Pope who has already called JD Vance trash in public is all right by me.

Anybody who shows up at the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight deserves our total & eternal contempt.

That's not Bernie Sanders, champ.

Bernie is still just out there filling his coffers and appearing on stage at a music festival run by a Trump campaign donor.

Hero stuff, just like you asked for.

What is it about using marble for your profile that makes someone the most self-righteous witless clown you'll ever meet?

Congrats on being the dullest internet cliche, boy.

Read the thread, mate. Not replying to you specifically.

Trump is here because of American elected officials being cowards.

And I guess some of their fans, like you, are cheering on their cowardice.

Trump won't go, and it's moronic to put the safety of anyone in his hands.

So you think US elected officials should ignore problems like this, while you hold your breath and wait for the fascist to fix it.

Smart plan. Your patience and naviete isn't going to get this prisoner killed AT ALL.

Willie Garvin @williegarvin.bsky.social · Apr 14

Uh... And then you have video of a US elected official trying to save a constituent and getting turned down by a foreign government TRUMP IS PAYING to keep in jail.

"Uh..." doesn't actually make you seem like the smart one here, kid.

Here's a thought: go to El Salvador. Take some of your mates with you. Show up at the prison with US Senators and ask to see him.

The best part is the "follow back."

Love it when people insult you and want you to follow back. Daft punters.

As a reminder, Joseph Welch — who defied McCarthy and brought him low with the “no sense of decency” line — was a partner at the prestigious firm of Hale and Dorr (now WilmerHale).

It’s not only possible for leading firms to resist; it’s essential.

Murshed Zaheed @murshedz.bsky.social · Mar 22

All we need right now is at least one big law firm to speak out and take a stand - surely they will get support from others.

It’s also time for associates in those firms to speak out and push their partners internally and also organize externally.

History won’t be kind to those who are silent.

Deborah Pearlstein @debpearlstein.bsky.social · Mar 22

It does face backlash, it will face backlash & especially in light of last night's EO - Trump's broadest, most unhinged swipe against lawyers who oppose him yet -- I am heartened by what I'm hearing from many in the profession more determined than ever to push back.

I've been a little quiet lately.

Not much to say about the end of the world as we know it...

When the leader is a loudmouth racist prick, that gives everyone permission to be a loudmouth racist prick.

Then they get reminded that only the leader gets that weird pass from the press and his party, they get kicked in the balls, and they come out crying and talking about Jesus.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · Sep 25

This is one of the most viciously racist things I've seen a member of Congress say in years.

"Too fascist for Mussolini's Grandkid" is a good phrase. May it catch on.
