Signal is so great and convenient and a lovely messaging app and more people should use it.

If you live in LA and you need a reminder of why voting matters Just imagine if Robert Luna wasn’t our sheriff, and instead alex villanueva had won another term Most people probably don’t think of the importance of voting for sheriff on their ballot, but you are seeing it right now

Seeing a massive divide online between Angelenos of all political stripes who understand that the protests in LA yesterday were mostly peaceful and any violence was ICE-initiated and East Coast establishment liberals lecturing “the left” on how riots just amplify right wing talking points.

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

Important message

"If you have the courage to speak, we are saved. If you fall silent, the country is doomed." Scott Pelley had some strong words to share on tonight's CNN special after the telecast of "Good Night, and Good Luck." I wrote up the highlights here >>> www.cnn.com/2025/06/07/m...

gotta bring this classic over here

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

So this is PR speak for: "do not put fucking troops on the street you god damn lunatics."

good morning

This is the only meme you need.

We've killed world leaders for less.

I finally did some pride art, 🏳️‍⚧️ 🧱

Today is the anniversary of Alan Turing’s suicide, in 1954. Turing was the father of modern computing. His codebreaking helped the Allies to win WWII. Arrested for being gay, he chose chemical castration over a prison sentence. He lost his security clearance, as all homosexuals were deemed a risk.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Owlcat are doing a whole lot right now, huh? Still expanding their first 40k RPG, working on a second, and and now The Expanse: Mass Effect style? Busy team.

People are getting kidnapped by the secret police for arguing the position of the Financial Times opinion page.

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games. Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

Huge pump today

I wish I was getting ready for pride instead of sitting in my prison-like cubicle 😭

Amazing. Respect the lede.

Love looking like a juicer

I fucking love plants bro

Everyone’s all for boycotting Target until a new console drops. 🙃

This is an incredibly bad bill for everyone who was hoping Canada would stand up to the United States. If you're Canadian, please contact your representatives and tell them this bill violates your rights and increases cruelly biased against asylum seekers.

everything was filled with sperm, except the captain’s pantaloons pockets

Transvestigate the Miis 😤😤😤

"Our comically big sticks of dynamite aren't building houses like we told them to and we don't know why"

Silly post workout pics. Tidying up the beard is on my to do list xD

Love this goofball

I propose a spelling test between the WWE Queen and any Columbia student…

it’s time to replace all doctors with ai

Growing the tent is how you defeat MAGA but in order to do so, we need coalesce around what we agree on and not focus on what we disagree on... we can do this and we can take our country back! Welcome Joe Walsh 👏 thehill.com/homenews/cam...

Another masterful gambit! Drumpf the Cheeto is certainly done for after we mock him for chickening out and not following through on fascist policies. Everyone knows the Democrats are the ONLY party that u can count on to actually follow through on fascism!! 🌮

YOU! YES YOU! YOU deserve BIGGER tits and muscular/defined arms.

The murder of Jonathan Joss, details of which I saw last night, each moment described worse than the last, was truly gut wrenchingly horrific. This is where their "anti woke" rhetoric leads, and may it stop the train in its tracks or we, allied, stop it for them. Pure evil. Pure pointless evil.

Notice that this garbage shared a wall with the kids's section of Barnes and Noble. That means that trans kids are being subjected to hate BY DESIGN. (I don't think B&N understands the extent to which HP is now a hate campaign)

Just a fyi- porn is under attack in this country and it will probably pass this time if nothing is done. If it does pass - straight people will know no ☮️ from me. I will galvanize an army of homos to interrupt every sporting event known to man. You will not have a safe space while mine is illegal

I think at some point we have to stop indulging the fiction that conservatism is a legitimate political tendency and isn't simply a grievance cult for those who value the ability to enact cruelty over their literal basic needs.

As priDEMONth begins, we must always remember the invaluable contributions of our Qüeer Elders: 🥷🏾🫳🏾🏳️‍🌈

It's 3am. I'm doing some work while jamming to Utada. Here's my back. I'm gay.

Hopes fuels resistance. Hope gets us up when we don't think we can make it any further. From the little things to the big. What is it that drives your hope? I hope for a world in which my kids live in joy, not fear. #HopeIsAPractice

THIS FUCKING THIS! I really don't want to fucking hear straight people complaining about "why them gays need a whole month" BECAUSE APPARENTLY WE NEED TO CONSTANTLY REMIND YOU FUCKERS THAT WE'RE HUMAN BEINGS WITH LIVES AND LOVED ONES WHO DESERVE DIGNITY
