The owner of Twitter just reinstated the accounts of several Nazi who had been suspending for violating Twitter's rules about doxxing other users. Now here's another piece on Bluesky's intellectual diversity problem.

This is blatantly unconstitutional, just like your headline framing is blatantly bad journalism.

Excuse the baseball post for a second, but Yoshi Yamamoto = densetsu. I cannot recall the last time I saw Dodgers pitchers in the playoffs, throwback to back masterpieces like these two just did. After a lead off home run too. #dodgers #NLCS

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

I redid this meme to reflect how my inner critic works when I’m trying to finish a damned draft without getting stuck editing it to death. This ad infinitum:
The “ ew kombucha” lady with ew look on her face and then “well hm it’s good” but the captions “this draft sucks / no wait maybe it’s good?”

Proof that public outcry can still be helpful, if temporarily. The money was rerouted to the National Center on Deafblindness, who will then distribute to the other programs. But it is only one year's worth, so keep an eye on it.

Literally saying if you don't pay fealty, you don't get YOUR OWN TAX MONEY BACK. You really couldn't write a bigger advertisement for this thing.

I swear if the elected Dems fold before this.

Watching the final Mission Impossible film which gives us a Black woman president at least fictionally, and finding dark depressing humor when she has to agonizingly decide which US city should be sacrificed, I thought how the real current president would have no problem sacrificing a bunch.

Like I assume there’s no fact checking on TS since it’s a Trump site lol so it’s just a propaganda megaphone but wondering if anyone goes there to fight the good fight anyway

I will never look at that site ever but I know some journalists go to TruthSocial just to capture what the President is ranting about. (His Jan 6 lunacy where he can’t remember who was president, for instance.) But for anyone who looks, are there people on TS who push back on him in replies?

That was a shocking replay reverse, seemed obvious. Then the NFL official guy on the broadcast basically tried to explain it?

Also you would think NFL officials wouldn’t also be so bad at something called NFL officiating but those in today’s London game sure are bad at their jobs. Were they found in a nearby pub? Some obvious miss calls.

You’d think something called NFL Network would be better at production on an NFL game, but yeesh their camerawork leaves much to be desired.

Maybe I’m just feeling magnanimous now and that’ll change in a few days but if my team* doesn’t repeat as champs I’d feel happy for these other 3 teams getting it.
(*I still hope they do, repeating hasn’t been done in 20+ years.)
