Amazingly hilarious that a self professed "tech guru" somehow didn't secure his own database.

I am going to be so pissed if--after everything--I do, in fact, die of dysentery.

Reading this book right now by @benjamincarterhett.bsky.social and its hard not to see the many parallels between Weimar Germany and modern day democracies. Interesting to see how some of the mistakes of that government came down to one person's ego. #history 💙📚

Kinda reminds me of Kurt von Schleicher, the last chancellor of Weimar Germany before Hitler. He worked behind the scenes for years to court the far-right and believed he could work with the Nazis without giving them all the power. He was assassinated shortly after Hitler came to power.

Hot take #booksky, but I am not a fan of those "book/movie/TV show challenges" where you post only the covers or posters for 30 days with no explanation. I wanna hear why that piece of media is important to you! Tell me more!

I love sports. My favorite sport is watching townsfolk flee from the Baba Yaga's cottage as it lurches about on giant chicken legs, wreathed in Eldritch smoke and madness.

I've been waiting for someone to make this point as clearly as @pbump.com did last week: The entire Federal law enforcement apparatus is a part of the Executive Branch. All of it. So if they don't want to enforce a judge's rulings, or, for that matter, the law... then who? wapo.st/3CKnHsI

That's honestly been my question through this. Courts basically have power because people do what they say and the executive branch/law enforcement can enforce rulings. But what happens if Trump ignores a ruling? What can the courts feasibly do?

You know I am definitely not a football fan, but I'm the one friend with cable so I hosted a party. And it was very fun seeing the chiefs get humbled like that. Also the best part was the rookie Cooper DeJean winning a touchdown on his birthday 🎂 that's probably the best present ever! #eagles

Not originally my snark, but when I came across it I was amused: I never expected the Imperial Radch books to predict anything, and yet here we are, legally all the same gender.

The fact that Nintendo just casually dropped the trailer for the Switch 2 on a Thursday morning is hilarious to me. It's giving, "Were y'all waiting for us to announce something?" vibes. youtu.be/itpcsQQvgAQ?...
