Karoline Leavitt is a complete disgrace.

Her violent and unhinged rhetoric is going to get someone killed.

These extremists are sick people.

The gamble he's starting to lose is that people won't turn on him for ignoring what his state cops are doing with/for ICE.

Remember how the Death Star had that one hidden weakness?

Well, an important kill switch in this massive surveillance network is: individual control over a bunch of the nodes. People hold the power to tear the network down.

Well stated.

You've probably just singlehandedly convinced me and everyone here that he's not a bigoted pile of Republican trash with a Nazi-curious son and a penchant for torturing unhoused people.

Take a bow.

Grant Morrison - yeah, I've done work before. I'm done doing work now. Here's my long ass bullshit explanation for why I'm now a lazy, grifty piece of shit.

Cut to Tom Brevoort scrambling to hire Morrison and his AI friend...

Swara A.S. ☀️🍉🌊🧿 @spiderswarz.bsky.social · 11h

Morrison invoking AI alike to "God" indicates a severe misunderstanding of how AI appropriates the work of thousands, including their own, and someone needs to rectify their understanding ASAP.

But also it's a severe disservice to their colleagues anyway to use it and justify it like this.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

I've rarely preordered a record so quickly. Didn't even shop around or wait for a deal. Can't wait to get my shipping confirmation from @plaidroomrecords.bsky.social.

How are so many people still on there? No justification at this point other than "I'll compartmentalize my opposition to Nazis so I can enjoy the views (that are mostly bots, but anyway...)"

Yeah, but could you please stop with the cross posting on the Nazi site? JFC. There's zero justification at this point.
