This has to be one of the biggest opsec fails I've ever seen in my life. The actual director of the FBI driving around in the most conspicuous vehicle imaginable made even more so by it being neon red.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

There is something especially depressing about losing my research job at the hospital in mass layoffs on Monday and being consoled by colleagues at the NIH only for them to lose their jobs in mass layoffs on Friday and me to now be consoling them.

would be nice if @bsky.app coalesced “trending” feeds on the same topic from different periods when they were trending

It's very peculiar that trump says he wants to root out corruption, but his Department of Justice is determined to get the corruption charges against corrupt Mayor Eric Adams dropped, so he can corruptly pursue a quid pro quo wit Adams. The whole deal is corrupt AF.

The law won't save us. Nearly all authoritarian regimes legitimize their actions within the law and make their acts legal. More lawyers need to realize this.

Unless someone has a better idea, I say we put all our energy toward radicalizing Bill Burr until he becomes the "Joe Rogan of the left" that we were promised

Remember, Mark Cuban is not an ally of the left, he just happens to be far less despicable than every other billionaire.

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

Excuse me if I'm not overly impressed by the those who sat around doing nothing to address real problems since the last Trump administration suddenly swinging into action because the current Trump administration is making a mockery of their existence on the Hill.

DOJ dropped charges against Vince McMahon. He gets to do human trafficking because he once humiliated himself on TV to Trump's redound, which I guess is as close to a friend as Trump gets. So.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Better idea: pass a comprehensive data privacy bill that applies across the board... and maybe DON'T mimic Chinese authoritarianism by creating a "Great Firewall" of apps that aren't allowed to operate here. You can actually fix things AND not abuse the 1st Amendment in one shot!

This has become a massive problem. Pilots in small general aviation aircraft are reporting a huge increase in laser strikes. They’re risking permanent vision loss & there’s danger for everyone on board.

I still am active on Twitter and it's been a fun several days having a collective brain aneurysm along with the entire aviation community as we try to chew threw the mountains of horseshit that conspiracy theorists keep pushing to stir panic for their own benefit

I really don't care if you have 'liberal' opinions about other topics. If you don't support LGBTQ people, I don't consider you politically left, and that's a rather common outlook among the left. I wouldn't consider people who support LGBTQ rights but think racial discrimination is okay left either

Syrian rebels keep finding more and more layers to the prison, each one increasingly harder to reach and get into to free the prisoners. it's an onion of suffering strong enough to make even the most unemphatic psychopaths cry for centuries to come
