This is genuinely terrifying in like, a Hunger Games way. Slava Ukraini, 🇺🇦🇺🇦 etc etc. Happy that The Good Guys did this first, but I'm not 100% ready for autonomous flying murder robots. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I need you all to see the hype video that this person made to sell their 1994 Geo Metro

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Kris Jenner’s 2025 facelift is an achievement on par with the first Matrix film, or the 1st gen iPhone. The world was one way yesterday, and now it’s a different way today. You’re not old, you’re just poor.

an exceptional night of LA repertory film, flawless 35mm print of Michael Clayton at @vidiots.bsky.social with writer/director and Rogue One/Andor mastermind Tony Gilroy Q&A - his first time watching the movie in 18 years (and my first time)

granted, there’s a range of experiences in this world, but for those of us who have both: 1) parented a 5 year old 2) sustained a punch in the face from an adult male the cuckfight rumor switches from blue anon bullshit to plausible scenario almost automatically

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

One time a female supervisor accused me of mansplaining something to... another male supervisor. That put me in an elegant bind.

Bluesky’s great, great strength is that people click on links here — it one of the last big and wide-open gateways to the rest of the web. That makes it economically worthwhile for people who make link-accessible content (journalists, Youtubers, Substackers, musicians, etc) to congregate here.

#Harvard becoming briefly cool again is the natural endpoint of educational polarization, but it's a weird Trumpian perversion of nature. Bad shit happened the last time Harvard was cool (1994). Kurt Cobain died. Rwandan genocide. GOP midterm sweep. NAFTA. MLB strike. Formal adoption of the internet

Every non-fascistic American should have an expensive bottle of champagne, in reserve, for when it happens. If someone asks why you have a pricey champagne, you should say, "For when it happens." Because when it happens, champagne will sell out in minutes. You will not be able to buy a bottle.

I never thought the leopards would eat my face. I voted for the anti-leopard party. I worked on anti-leopard causes. But at the end of the day, I did not act with the urgency of one whose face was food for leopards.

We get caught in the weeds in these online debates, but Bidenism was first and foremost about ending Trumpism. Its failure implicates everyone who endorsed Biden or his strategy, from Obama all the way down to primary voters. That’s how losing works. Sorry.

Pretty much every sassy critique of #HandmaidsTale ignores the narrative’s stakes. What atrocities are worth preventing extinction? That’s an interesting question and most are flatly refusing to engage with it. Is Commander Lawrence bad? IDK, does he or does he not save the human race?
