Elizabeth Reads Serially

MAGA Senator’s Awkward ‘War’ Claim Unravels Within Seconds The Republican's point crumbled when reporters pointed out what he'd JUST said. He then admitted it "was a misspoke."

And this is before his demonstrated lack of understanding on the definition of "war".

Or how nouns and verbs work.

@democrats.senate.gov - in the words of D.A.R.E.: "Just say no."

#AbolishICE #EradicateDHS

This is the video he uploaded nearly a year ago.

#AbolishICE #EradicateDHS

Republican senator floats using violence against journalists who report 'fake news' Markwayne Mullin recounted that a reporter fatally shot a former congressman in 1890, adding there might be less "fake news ... if we could still handle our differences that way."

If he would say this before U.S. citizens were murdered in the street by their own gov't - by a dept he would seek to lead with this appointment - he cannot be counted upon to proceed with any amount of comprehension that DHS shouldn't be killing people in the streets.

#AbolishICE #EradicateDHS

Trump fires Homeland Security Secretary Noem after mounting criticism over her leadership Kristi Noem has thanked President Donald Trump for her new appointment and touted her accomplishments as secretary after being fired.

Dear @democrats.senate.gov,

We do NOT want Markwayne Mullin given a courtesy vote like Marco Rubio was. Markwayne, I will remind you, stood in a stairwell in the Capitol and threatened reporters who don't print stories Donald likes.

He later said he was joking.

Screen capture of a video of a Donald Trump rally from 9 December 2025. It has been altered to black and white save for the one highlighted shirt over Donald's left shoulder that reads "Persians for Trump". This still was obtained via Seth Meyers' 4 March 2026 "A Closer Look" segment at https://youtu.be/5xkDZFczi5U?si=hP2bzPVwObTszpC_&t=61

That aged well.

The audacity of citing Essence as a source and then erasing the Black woman the articles are about from what you've written is astounding.

Now we just wait for the news report that J.D. shot someone on a hunting trip.

Also, taking bets on them switching "COVID was made in a Chinese lab" to "COVID was made in an Iranian lab".

Todd: U.S. Olympic men's team leaves icy stain on hockey that won't go away By being not-so-innocent props in an insult to the women's team and a Trump propaganda carnival, the players disrespected fans across Canada.

“We know how this story ends,” said the writer Jennifer Weiner. [...] “The men, celebrated. The women, mocked.”

I very much agree with @jacktodd.bsky.social here - they should lose their captaincies.

Also, props for pointing out that Guentzel, Connor, Nelson, LaCombe and Oettinger told Trump no.

Hallelujah!

Thank you, @moderation.bsky.app, for removing the erroneous label!

Huzzah!

Excerpt from transcript of 30 January 2025 NPR "All Things Considered" broadcast titled "Protein seems to suddenly be everywhere. Here's why" by Brittany Luse: LUSE: Well, OK, there's definitely the emphasis of protein as a method for weight loss and also for gaining muscle mass, so it's got a good reputation right now with pretty much anyone looking to change their body composition. But there are two other really interesting things going on with protein culturally. So first, I was talking to food writer Samantha Maxwell, and she noted that protein is one of the few macronutrients that hasn't been villainized. Like, think about, like, fat or carbohydrates. Like, you go back to the low-fat diets of the '90s or the Atkins low-carb craze of the 2000s. But protein, it's never really had a, quote-unquote, "bad reputation."

Once more: no response from @moderation.bsky.app and the label remains.

I'm starting to wonder if the mod team has a foot fetish and that's why they think the photo is sexual in nature.

archive.today is directing a DDOS attack against my blog Around January 11, 2026, archive.today (aka archive.is, archive.md, etc) started using its users as proxies to conduct a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack against Gyrovague, my personal b…

Hi there.

Apparently, archive today includes code with its captcha that initiates a DDOS attack. Thought you might like to know. I've linked to them myself in the past, but I'm doing my best not to as I don't know that it's safe to use them.

(Not my site, just the title of the article.)

@waterfox.net will be getting a workout on my PC over the next few days.

I was in the process of copying all of my tab data. It needed to reboot and update, and this is what popped up afterward.

I'm wondering if this is just AI generated alt text (blergh) or if this is all alt text on images in PDFs, because it reads like the latter.

Screen capture of Firefox popup window if you elect to "block AI enhancements". It reads: You won't see new or current AI enhancements in Firefox, or pop-ups about them. Afterwards, you can unblock anything you want to keep using. What will be blocked: * Translations * Image alt text in Firefox PDF viewer * Tab group suggestions * Key points in link previews * Chatbot providers in sidebar Blocking also affects extensions that use AI provided by Firefox.

Screen capture showing the option definitions below the currently five choices which use AI code of some level in Firefox. It reads: What the options mean: * Available: You'll see the feature and can use it. * Enabled: You've opted in to use the feature. * Blocked: You won't see and can't use the feature. For on-device AI, any models already downloaded are removed.

Firefox has updated and I'm late to acknowledging this, but I need to understand: did they just decide to turn off #AltText in PDFs if you disable AI features?

Abelist technology, or no?

Another day, @moderation.bsky.app another appeal.

I'm not okay with you telling everyone that two women whose genitalia are completely covered while they pose for a nude photo are engaging in sex. I'm really not.

#BlueskyCensorship #PhotographyCensorship #ArtCensorship #Vogue

Unsurprisingly, I have no response from @moderation.bsky.app. I checked my e-mail too.

Their label remains.

So I filed another appeal.

Again: the most risqué thing you can see is the one woman's buttocks.

The most risqué thing you can see is the one woman's buttocks.

If you think that's sex, or even vaguely "explicit", I encourage you to read @merriam-webster.com.

#INeedAnEditOption

now I'm in this until you change/remove the label because I'm not going to just sit back and let you describe "naked woman laying on a bed -on her stomach- next to a naked woman typing on a computer" as explicit sex.

It's a -nude- wherein all placement is deliberate to obscure all genitals.

2/3

@moderation.bsky.app - out of curiosity, how long does it take to process an appeal on a label you placed on a nude that involves no sexual act but you described as sexually explicit? The image was used on an article, and I was being silly posting about Vogue showing me naked white people.

But

1/3

Do I want to dig out my old writing and demonstrate for @bsky.app what "explicit" means?

@ericswalwell.bsky.social's erotic poetry is racier than that picture. Also, not the worst erotic writing I've ever seen from a 19-year-old.

(Yes, I appealed the "explicit" label. FFS.)

The decline option is very small, but it is there, and I selected it every time. (Tab keys, ftw!)

Seriously, it made me shudder.

Every time I signed on to Amazon to pick up books I pre-ordered in 2023 that kept getting pushed back on publication dates throughout 2025, Amazon would send a signal to my computer to prompt me to scan my fingerprint to add it to my account. Or ask for access to my camera to take a picture of me.

There are three messages for improvement at the top of the article; two have been highlighted. One: "The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline.

When Wikipedia seems to have an argument with itself.

A Silicon Valley Tale of Humiliation and Revenge Khalid Shaikh was fired from the company he helped create, YouSendIt. Then the cyberattacks started.

This guy: www.riodelltimes.com/Departmentof...

Also: @housedemocrats.bsky.social - someone needs to look into the cloud service formerly known as YouSendIt.

Did Khalid Shaikh, Amir Shaikh, or Ranjith Kumaran know that pictures and mp3 files were being sent to Epstein?

Did the FBI get reports? Did NCMEC?

Does Hightail still have those files?

Upper West Side Man Dies In Colorado Plane Accident David Zara, a professional pilot who founded two private charter companies, was killed with another New Yorker outside of Aspen.

Also the fact that the private pilot who flew the photographer to St. Thomas died one year and nine months after Epstein (not that it means anything, but I'm sure the NBC writers could do a "from the headlines" fiction plot thing).

Jeffrey Epstein's fascination with toxic flower that has extreme impact on body Jeffrey Epstein was sent an email detailing the symptoms of a dangerous flower native to South America

Now waiting for the Law & Order SVU episode that goes into the photographer who took the pictures.

And the person who sent the photographer the info who has the same last name and then went on to become a broker and communicate w/ Epstein/Groff himself.

Screen capture from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that aired 19 February 2026 showing a survey on a screen purportedly located outside a restroom at LaGuardia.
