Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

My deepest condolences to all whose lives were touched by Helen de Cruz. I never met her but I was touched by her wisdom, specifically by this post.

Alan Parsons, and his Project.

“No sign this devout Christian was violent”

If I worked at the Washington Post, I would be dying of shame. This is not about publicity-seeking Democrats, this is about the rise of a police state. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

PSA: It doesn't matter whether or not you live in New York City - if you live anywhere in NY State, you, yes YOU, can get a New York Public Library card and take advantage of museum passes, e-books and so much else. I just renewed mine!

Our game is obviously inspired by: - Sticky Business 📦 - Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer 🏠 - Inkulinati 🐰 - Potion Craft ⚗️

Think what it must be like to work for Fox or the White House and be able to see the impact of your hard work.

It's also worth noting that a major constraint on Japan's military isn't spending, it's manpower (in the face of a shrinking, aging population). There is only so much spending can do to overcome demographics.

Critics who decry "administrative bloat" in US higher ed rarely distinguish btw two phenomena: (i) the rise of an overpaid administrative class and (ii) the proliferation of university staff providing high-demand services to students, esp. in the areas of learning challenges and mental health. 1/3

People outside the games industry don't grasp that this is absolutely unheard of. Workers don't get royalties, and we definitely don't get performance bonuses. When we make a hit game we sometimes just get laid off

Why, this is very midsummer madness.

I mean, this is the core of it. As @jasondashbailey.com says, the corporate elites in NYC are making all kinds of excuses to support an awful liar/harasser who was an awful governor… and not even Brad Lander. This is NOT about antisemitism.

if theres one thing gentiles uninvolved in jewish communities love it's claiming discursive authority over what constitutes anti-semitism in order to discredit socialists and brown people :)

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

i see MY seattle mariners are a petty organization, i love it ____________ (🔊 sound up)

It really would be OK for reporters, when Trump tells them he was “loud and clear” opposed to Iraq, to respond that there is no evidence of that, and plenty of evidence in the other direction

Sure, academia may require a decade or more of expensive training, and be extremely difficult to break into, and reward toxic dynamics, and demand all of our time and energy, but it also pays so badly that you wind up destroying your health because you have to skimp on routine care

This is Walter. He was brought to his human's office for take your dog to work day. Does not remember when he expressed any desire to labor. 13/10

Missed connection: You were a FedEx driver who said nobody was available to receive the package. I was a person with a driveway alarm that never went off, who has been awake and home all day. You are an enigma. Why would you tease me so? Let's meet up. And you can give me the stuff I paid for.

they thought ai would do math and handle shipping logistics but its too stupid for that so they shifted it to humanities and customer service where theyre too dumb and callous to know/care if it can do a good job

Trump eliminated the team that investigated crypto fraud and crimes, and fired the ethics watchdog that oversaw conflicts of interest within the executive branch. Seems like necessary context.

The morning bun in the back yard

Hours after @pbump.com posted this today, ICE updated its figure to 500%.

Happy heatwave, Bluesky. Today's acceptable takes are: 1. Opening The Windows Is Centrist. 2. ChatGPT Told Me To Drink Petrol To Cool Down. 3. Brits Can't Handle Heat Because They Only Eat Boiled Sandwiches Look I Changed Flights In London Once I Know These Things. You know what to do.

🇪🇪🛡️ Estonia has begun building dozens of bunkers and digging anti-tank ditches on the border with Russia: the authorities are already actively building a defensive line, — ERR.

Getting emails from my uni asking for an exit survey so they can 'learn how to retain staff' (I mean... offer me a contract?) while also getting emails about how I lose instant access to my emails the second my contract ends. I can feel the boot in my ass while they smile in my face.

Chess analysis: By disconcertingly eating his own rook and two queen side pawns, Trump is opening up the board and affording himself various attacking and defensive plans during a congested middle game.

Juneteenth fireworks.

The fact that major news outlets like the NY Times are too cowardly to say something like “ICE Declares Itself Exempt From Federal Law” is part of the reason we’re in this mess.

Amazing: MIT researchers revealed how ChatGPT etc are destroying our brains and booby-trapped the report to expose those who want to use AI to ostensibly summarize the results. t.co/JXeTALBPds

If you are afraid of other people, you will be afraid of the subway. That’s not a subway thing

Hard to express just how much this funding would transform immigration enforcement.

What were they actually gonna do here? Ask every brown-enough person for their papers to go to the fucking baseball game? This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.

Waitaminute. I might need to hear more about Paperboy Prince's policies.

Trump's had a thing for asbestos for years

The insects have been 'Jackson pollocking' again. 😁 This was over the course of 5 minutes. 18 June 2025.

it is truly a human Brain Habit that has complete plug-and-play content and the easiest way to prove it is to listen to straight guys talk about sports for five minutes. they could have been benedictines brewing beer

my PhD dissertation was ABOUT how pop culture migrates into the space of religion! so i very strongly agree!

Images from the Delaware Public Archives that show the scale of horseshoe crab harvesting back in the day, when they were used as fertilizer.

Back on the White House menu

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states
