Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth"
Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem

The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content.
That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well.
In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

This equipment had huge problems right from the get-go, the factory flew an engineer out from Germany because "you can't be right" I picked him up from the airport and took him there. His jaw dropped and I felt so bad I took him to lunch, boss almost fired me that day for using the company card, lol

5 of a cats 6 ends are sharp, and I trust none of them, lol

Torwin @torwin.bsky.social · 5d

The manufacturer went bankrupt 5 years ago, parts have run dry. The equipment cannot be removed, so will have to be entombed and built over, the logistics are unimaginable, lol

Torwin @torwin.bsky.social · 5d

Oh goodie, the machinery I warned wouldn't last 10 years, a decade ago, has failed, and now they want to address it after 5 years of warnings. Too bad the contractor at the time told me I was wrong about not setting them IN the buildings foundation. I can fix many things, but I can't fix stupid.

For those not in the know, plenary authority generally means "full and complete authority, without restriction".

Or in Cornell University's words: "power that is wide-ranging, broadly construed, and often limitless for all practical purposes."

Title 10 refers to general military law.

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Murlin @murlin.bsky.social · 15d

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.
