i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this

Reeeaaaallly hope the anti-kink kids, especially the queer ones, finally understand what camp they are in (it's fascism), and how it's bad for everyone but the actual abusers.

An open letter to Grammarly and other plagiarists, thieves and slop merchants To everyone at Grammarly, I am writing a book right now, a really challenging endeavor that no doubt someone in Silicon Valley will think it’s fine to steal the day it’s published. I’ve been a profes...

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files.

The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.

Making Shepherd’s Pie from an 1894 Recipe - Beef or Lamb? YouTube video by Tasting History with Max Miller

Shepherd’s Pie causes more controversy than such a simple dish should. It has many names and many fillings. Some say it should only be made with lamb, but history says otherwise. Regardless of what’s in it, it’s delicious. youtu.be/t1O1hcixZDU?...

Our local academic publishing house has a treat for everyone:

Are we still looking for waste, fraud, and abuse? I think I found some.

“In my 15 years in the Senate, I have never left a briefing this angry. We are heading down a path toward sending U.S. troops to Iran as ground forces,” — Sen. Richard Blumenthal

This does bring up some questions of strategy, yes....

Fuck. Panic mode. I've got until the 10th to figure out a new home, possibly even shorter if the landlady tries to take my ass to court because my state will do short evictions for late rent.

If you can help it would be appreciated.

This image features a section of an informational document or webpage titled What’s in It for Your Law Enforcement Agency? The text describes the advantages of the 287(g) Program for state and local law enforcement. The main body of the text explains that the program provides access to ICE resources and training, with ICE covering the training costs. It notes that the primary goal is helping agencies keep communities safe from "potentially dangerous criminal aliens." A single bullet point below the main paragraph highlights the Department of Justice’s State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP). It explains that SCAAP provides federal funding to states and municipalities to help cover costs associated with the incarceration of certain individuals. The final sentence, in bold, emphasizes that this is entirely separate from the 287(g) program.

Haven't checked the 287(g) page in a while, but @bremg.bsky.social found that this language was quietly added — a quick check of Internet Archive shows that this popped up on/about Sunday, Feb. 15.

Our assessment: ICE is looking to find workarounds to 287(g) bans.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

They about to strip the copper out the walls of this place lol

It got worse before it got better, & I still carry those scars. But my life is better, outside of existing in US right now.

There's no hate like Christian "love",& no better deterrent from religion in general.

I hope life has treated you kinder too.

Bans Against Trans Athletes Will Not “Save Women’s Sports” Pushing trans athletes like Becky Pepper Jackson off the field enables discrimination and undercuts advancements in women’s sports.

Bans targeting transgender women harm all women.

We won't back down from promoting equality and inclusion in athletics.

This is a reason I got an old bike fixed up and a new helmet. I'm in an populated enough area that biking is finally feasible and with gas going up, I can save money and get more fit.

I prepped for a lot of things but never really considered a scenario where all the food would be at store still, it would simply be too expensive to drive there

So not only have the US and Israel been bombing oil depots and above ground tanks, they have been destroying desalination plants? The humanitarian crisis is about to increase exponentially.

Where will the world hold the war crime trials for the Tmrup and Netanyahu regimes?

George Carlin is always pertinent.

“War is nothing but a whole lot of prick waving.”
“Men are insecure about the size of their dicks, so they have to go to war over it.”—George Carlin.

Trump’s warmongering explained succinctly.

Getting heavily bullied by people to the point of SI and being told "God doesn't give us battles we can't handle"

Trump is considering a military draft as part of his options for the US Israel war on Iran.

I once interviewed an expert on oil consumption that focused on consumers. He said low gas prices are a religion for Americans and they will do absolutely nonsensical things to access them, like drive miles and miles out of their way.

If you wanna lose votes as fast as possible, raise gas prices.
