Imagine a bog- standard sword-and-sorcery story in a world where men were responsible for original sin and so women are in charge of most things, and write in excruciating detail about what every single person in like 20 different countries with unique cultures is doing there over a 3 year period.

Google has been fucking YouTube on Firefox hard, malicious de-optimization. On chromium, they are warning that ublock origin will be deprecated, and directing people toward ublock lite, which has carveouts to prevent blocking google's stuff.

Weird its almost like some of us on the academic and research side were right the entire time. Really bums me out how people just couldn't and wouldn't see what has always been right in front of them.

Transphobia requires a constant flow of hate, billions of dollars, and countless laws in order to sustain itself. All trans people have to do is keep living. This is why transphobia will never win.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

so like the "rural trump voters still deserve mail service" thing goes hand in hand with "don't misgender people even if they're assholes" and "the unhoused guy who street harassed you still deserves housing" and "your cousin who stole 5k from his parents still deserves affordable psych meds" etc

"Mussayev’s claims are not the first [...] of Donald Trump’s recruitment to the KGB, but it is the first time that Trump’s alleged Russian codename, ‘Krasnov’, has been identified." Another piece from @bylinetimes.bsky.social goes where lesser papers fear to tread. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

A couple of legal Ls for Trump tonight. -DOGE cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. -Judge blocks Trump’s executive order ending federal support for DEI programs. Weird to have a Friday night news dump as positive news.

This has been credibly reported for years, but now we have his name: Krasnov. That's President Krasnov, to you. I wonder what America is going to do about having a KGB agent in the White House? I know. Probably nothing. www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.
