Mardoch

Someone who looks a lot like Spice, in all black standing arms outstretched holding a book (a bible) whilst police horses charge it. There's a crowd behind. They didn't run it down & the line was held.

Outnumbered the fascists.

Police failed to break our line.

They got bundled into taxis & fucked off home.

Got a pic that goes crazy hard out of the whole equation.

Lovely Saturday, over all.

MANDATORY TIMELINE CLEANSE

I hope this shit gtfos soon

It's almost 1:30am and I just stopped lol. I was like "well I'll just go to this new zone to see what's up there" and I'm almost done with the main quest oops

I'm sorry to appear agist, but people who grew up adjusting the rabbit ears to improve reception on TV38 broadcasts of Bruins games probably aren't the best people to be writing laws related to the internet

Can people please stop defending him now? Are we allowed, finally, to put him on an ice floe and push him out to sea that I might never again hear what he thinks is a hilarious joke?

Man, I hate when when you’re sitting there, in a chat, and slurs just walk on in all by themselves like somebody turned on a faucet

I'm sorry but this is brilliant. This is no less appropriate than placing a salvation army donation collector near an alcohol store and a lot more defensible; marijuana may be regulated but so is tobacco and nobody blinks if they sell near stores that provide that.

helps quite a bit if I'm being honest

New policy for my own sanity, if you share a Polymarket BREAKING tweet as if it means anything other than "polymarket is ginning up more bets in its casino" I'll be presuming that you're a fucking idiot and blocking you. You're basically just peddling disinfoton their behalf.

People were reporting this "may happen" in late January. It's not breaking, or confirmed, and polymarket is just playing people for clicks by pretending to be journalistic.

Hate Saudi Arabia for being a slave state that sponsors terrorists, not for bullshit from a gambling website

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Don’t believe the bullshit lies going around that Platner’s wife is Jewish. That shit is a literal propaganda op designed to get you to forgive him.

Also people can be fucking hateful bigots married to marginalized people like have you not heard of our Vice Fucking President?

The headline is great. Almost like all these good kids were sitting around being wholesome, and slurs started snapping and cartwheeling like it was Westside Story and overwhelmed the youths.

I’ve started sayin “He’s wearing a wire!” when I see these glasses.

One man overheard and pulled them off. 😭😭😭

Have anxiety about the apocalypse?

Remember that you don't have to be a crazy prepper to have a shelter in place box with basic supplies + a bug out bag + some emergency plans in place!

It's good practice in a world with a changing climate and *gestures at the geopolitical situation*

it's rough because there are _so many_ independent individuals and orgs that i want to support but like, i can't afford 20 subs a month, much less process that much reporting

Locutus safety tip: To prevent identity theft, avoid having your own identity.

yeah i don't have any sympathy for their whole pile of self inflicted wounds, though. no incident has ever felt like they're acting in good faith from what i've seen.

which is also why i don't usually comment on "the meta." nothing good to add etc.

such smug evil while wearing the symbol of christianity prominently will never not make me that extra bit angry

the catholicism i was raised in 30 years ago was never this ghoulish even at the height of its anti-abortion fervor. maybe us cajuns are built different. idk. this shit rankles so bad tho

and to be clear i am willing to concede that i'm wrong based on stats i'm not privy to about what people are actually spending time doing. i'm only working off of what i know and what i spend my time on

maybe i am reading his glibness too seriously. i still don't think his statement is actually correct on the facts based on my own experience and the folks i talk to about our work.

everything about interfacing with people to design solutions to problems is _way more_ intense than the coding part

is he? people may sling more code faster with a Claude or whatever at their behest but that was never the most arduous or time consuming part of the process of making software in the first place

Tweet Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again. If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

Back in my day you needed a senior engineer for this sort of thing

this guy smells like bullshit.

typing syntax is already not the primary job. that's the easiest part of the job and it always has been

anyway it's shocking how bsky staff remain top of the heap at not knowing when the shut the fuck up and log off. you'd think they could get some PR training by now

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

there are people taking it as anything other than polymarket talking shit to get more gamblers on their site? horrifying.

i've seen exactly zero justifications for that company's existence. it and kalshi should be destroyed. and anyone else doing similar

you don't have to read graphic descriptions of SA even if the rapist is running the country right now

you don't have to read or watch graphic depictions of bombing innocents even if it's happening right now

you can be angry about and take action against wrongs without exposing yourself to trauma

pokopia. it's the cozy dopamine stream i was seeking
