Daniel Penny just got a cushy job at Andreessen Horowitz specifically because he murdered a homeless man on the subway

The composition of Germany’s Parliament is determined proportionally based on which party people vote for… thru a very complex method that distributes a party’s seat geographically! A dominant party is nearly sure to be far from a majority, even if they are first in vast majority of districts!

it's the same map again

So, the federal judge who the DOJ told that Elon doesn't have any authority got the demand email from Elon?

Gift link. A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone. And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration. If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

there is a dull, awful dual ache at the existence of dead Bibas children and how it will herald many, many more dead Palestinian children as justification. it’s the same ache as 10/7, it’s the same ache at understanding this is the pattern as it exists.

The Department of Government Erasure. If I had to guess, the real goal of this "tell me five things you accomplished last week" email to federal workers is to have legal grounds on which to fire them all.

I told OPM what I did last week

TO: <ALL STAFF> Please respond to this email confirming that I am cool and funny. Failure to do so will be taken as confirmation of the same.

George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse are walking free! They're doing fucking speaking tours!

FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 1965: After five years and seventy million dollars we have invented a new type of plastic that prevents communists from being able to climb ladders too fast FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 2025: My cure for cancer was shelved because it might benefit Hispanics

one thing we can agree on about bernie is he is not a Democrat

I was recently told that it’s impossible to effectively work unless you are physically located in your office, so I don’t know how you’re supposed to run two major agencies part-time.

Federal judges and vice admirals are definitely people you want to annoy with spam emails from Big Balls.

Something that wasn't brought to my attention until after publication is that GlomarResponder also made a lot of posts that appear to praise and defend Adolf Hitler.

Yes, here's alt text added 🙂 Sorry about that!

okay but every fucking company that dropped anything remotely "DEI" so fast without any actual impetus to do so, preemptively for laws that were never going to be upheld because they weren't constitutional, needs to be fucking dragged into the street and stomped on forever

'prison rape shouldn't happen to anyone' is one of those sentiments that should not be nearly as controversial as it is

The SAVE Act is specifically designed to disenfranchise a ton of American women. Let us recall how many of the techbros now infiltrating the American government, like Peter Thiel, believe that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

Christopher Miller is the Executive Director at Naval Sea Systems Command. VADM James Downey is the commander of Naval Sea Systems Command.

soulseek is kinda the greatest thing we have

that one guy who always has every single song i could ever need on soulseek being offline is probably what slack/teams being down feels like for people with jobs

fellas is it good to hollow out the civilian base of DOD

"listen up, you piece of shit" - seven clunky syllables - disrespectful - sets a weird tone "hark, shitpiece" - three sleek syllables - salutation-flavoured - calls listener in to the community of shitpieces

some of you bitches are very dumb but also I don’t think you should be persecuted by America’s pastiest squad of Nazi bigots

remember how i told you yesterday that i've talked with people who are volcanically angry? boy, do i have a story for you coming on monday.

There has long been a consistent minimization of and even sneering at attention to the misogynistic aspect of fascism by the mostly white dudes who specialize in talking explicitly about extremism and fascism.

okay that's it, i'm booting up soulseek and seeing if there's a conclave rip

I just know the Vatican PR team is sweating the possibility of the pope dying while Conclave is still being talked about

Rape and the abuse of women are pretty much the core, central ethos and bonding activity of MAGA leadership.

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.
