Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable.
The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found':

our society has spent decades accusing liberals and progressives of coddling victims and oppressed minorities instead of delivering tough truths. but now america is kneecapping the global economy because the alternative is conservatives hurting one guy’s feelings by telling him his ideas are stupid.
Thune is lying, and he knows he’s lying. Trump is delusional and probably believes his own bullshit. Thune is prepared to wreck the US economy by lying about 19kg of fentanyl. It’s astonishingly reckless. Just pissing jobs, prosperity, and livelihoods away for no reason.

“the left's growing hypersensitivity to ideas leftists find offensive” the left can be annoying about ideas they find offensive, meanwhile the right is ctrl+alt+deleting WORDS they find offensive *from the public sphere* and *disappearing people with ideas they don’t like.* what are we doing here
Thought I'd seen the dumbest, most ignorant take on Bluesky last year, but I was wrong. This person is living in a world that only exists in their own mind.
As far as I can tell, the author is not even on Bluesky, so they've just fantasized what must be happening here.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

This is actually a huge factor in American politics. Americans generally overestimate minority groups and underestimate majority groups by huge margins: today.yougov.com/politics/art...

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

With only days left in this race, our mission remains the same.
We have a moral obligation to win—because the real measure of our work is the difference it makes in people's lives.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

4. Don’t grade on a curve
This goes both ways. Do not hold Republicans to a lower standard and do not hold Democrats to a higher one. When a Republican does something normal, recognize it is normal not exceptional. When a Democrat does something normal, recognize it is normal and not terrible.
