Borders are made up. People should be allowed to go where we want. Also: money is imaginary, and almost every aspect of human behavior you think is an ironclad natural law or deeply-rooted tradition is a social construct invented by corporations and/or religious fanatics in the last 50-100 years.
Honestly pretty rich watching MAGA beg for everybody to just get along now that they're feeling social consequences for their actions.
PSA: Pretty much nothing about orbital datacenters makes logistical, physical, economic, or environmental sense.
If you genuinely disagree with them, maybe also reflect on how your worldview wound up so politically adjacent to these MAGA people, and the ways in which the institutions and belief systems you're a part of supported and enabled their rise to power.
They took your word. Sorry, but you're not getting it back. I suggest picking a new way to describe yourself if you want people to stop equating you with MAGA types.
"Trump isn't even conservative!"
Yeah. Nobody wants to nitpick semantics with you about the distinction between "classical conservative" or whatever you call yourself and the modern conservative movement.
Interesting choice of numbers for your PayPal cash back promotion there, @blackriflecoffee.bsky.social
Does this oddly specific number have some special meaning for you or your customer base or something?

"Most rocks live a long time. They've lived a long time before we pass them, and they'll live a long time after. Some of them are very old, grandchildren of the coming to be of the earth and sun If there were nothing else to be known from them that would be enough, their long age of being."
Much less that a huge number of people have literally never in their entire lives known anything *but* suffering monetarily.
dang this GoToSocial upgrade to v0.20.0 is taking FOREVER. I've been down while it runs database migrations for pushing 48 hours now.
Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”
“If the car’s gone,”
“I’ll give you another cookie anyway”
“because I love you.”
Happy Columbo’s Day
Tip: Set your calendar to start weeks on Monday. Splitting our view of weekends is a bullshit capitalist mind trick.
the inability to view any stand you personally disagree with as motivated by anything except clout chasing is a true disease of the soul and the fact the sufferers walk around like asymptomatic carriers openly saying things like this and thinking they have been insightful is part of the pathology
one of the weirder parts of this wave of total surrender of core civil liberties is there is no fucking reason for it. no world war 2, not even a 9/11. we're just bored and mad
It just really oozes the kind of UI vibes my partner originally coined the phrase “shiny baby bullshit” for all the way back in Windows 7.
I dunno I think Liquid Glass looks kinda sucky 🤷♂️
pissing off my friends on this San Francisco trip because i won’t stop growling “IT’S A WARZONE” in a right-wing propaganda voice while we walk around some of the most beautiful city streets in America
Facts.
Everyone unfairly causes her of cheating, especially those that know nothing about track.
A few weeks back I shared that Estrogen is a performance enhancing as much as Testosterone.
If y'all understood that thread, you might start to understand why top track coaches say she was clean.
I don't have time today to argue with transphobes and dudes that suck at sports, who feel hurt by the fact that Estrogen gives women more recovery capacity for high intensity work than men.
I've had that argument too many times.
If you're not a world-class athlete, I'm just ignoring you today.
So yes, Testosterone is a performance enhancing drug. But so is Estrogen.
It depends on the aspect of human performance that we're talking about.
The idea that Testosterone is all around better for all sports comes from the biased idea that cis women can't beat cis men at sports.
But they can.
🇮🇱 Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “There’s a business plan on Trump’s table to turn Gaza into a real estate bonanza.
We paid a lot of money for this war. Now we need to divide how we make a percentage. We did the demolition phase. Now we build. It’s much cheaper.”
That's why I don't believe this Epstein stuff will matter when it comes out. Dude has committed so many public crimes. They don't care.
Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water.
These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested.
They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.
The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.
some of the replies to this are like a social experiment on what it looks like when a refusal to read the article and a profound belief that world needs your opinion on everything combine
The process of recuperation will continue until morale improves
If somebody expressing their identity is political, and terrorism is violence to influence politics, then every hate crime is a tiny right wing terrorist attack.
once again it is not fucking normal to lower flags in oregon for random member of the opposing political party who was born in illinois, lived in arizona, and died in utah. this is not a normal thing they're extending to a white supremacist, it's a special thing they're doing for a white supremacist
“Nation of marks” really is the most clear defining feature we have right now
