They spent the past few weeks telling us to leave Twitter, and then they come here to harass? Fuck that bullshit. Kick these annoying asshats all the way off the platform, PLEASE. Nobody has time for that shit. Crawl back under your rock.

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day. The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

No vetting at all, no background checks, and then blanket security clearances for all. Agencies holding national security sensitive material are presumably thinking very hard right now about what material they're going to leave behind in the files on Jan 20... www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Jeffries: This is the lesson you've drawn? From the election in November? This is your priority? That you want to bully a member of congress? As opposed to welcoming her to join this body?

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "There has been no oppression for the white man in this country ... it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y'all are the ones being oppressed."

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

Some of you from the other place may remember I used to do a parody newspaper called Daily Racist (last one I did attached). Thinking of doing a more generic fun one to cover Bluesky related interests. What should I call it? Bluesky Times seems a bit basic. Not everyone will get Blueskyvers. Ideas?

Russian artist #KonstantinKorobov (b.1985) was born into a family of lawyers and earned a law degree. He did not paint until he was 28 when his wife gave him a small canvas & oil paints. He made his first oil painting on the floor using his finger & a cosmetic eyebrow brush.

Spoke on FB to my cool af Bangladesh liberation freedom fighter uncle (he was on Pakistan army's intellectual hit list) and big PLO supporter, said "all those years Israel was testing the waters, see how much they could get away with. Now they can get away with anything, so they're doing all of it"

🤦‍♂️ From December NS 🇳🇱 will run Amsterdam - Bruxelles hourly. SNCB 🇧🇪 Rotterdam - Bruxelles, hourly, half an hour later. But if you miss one, you can’t take the other one, despite none of the trains being compulsory reservation! #CrossBorderRail ticketing failure www.b-europe.com/EN/Trains/Eu....

Truth be told, it does seem kind of silly to have the FBI do background checks on presidential appointees when the president is a convicted criminal and an adjudicated digital rapist.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

Thread. Just a reminder that these so-called “fonts” that exist in plain text are not actual fonts. They are separate Unicode encodings because they are used in mathematics. Your computer encodes a regular S as U+0073 Your computer encodes the double-struck 𝕊 as U+1D54A

Melinda was one of our original Romancing the Vote volunteers, a bright and wonderful presence on our discord, and a treasured part of our community. I miss her. 💔 But I am also grateful for everything she brought to our lives. And damn, she had great taste in books. 💖

The same people who’ve spent the last several years decrying “unqualified DEI hires” are now shoehorning through Cabinet nominations who can’t even pass a basic background test.
