such gravitas & professionalism 🙄

excerpt from an Oct 20 NY Times opinion piece by Michelle Goldberg: “Last week, when HuffPost asked the White House who chose Hungary as the site of an upcoming meeting between Trump and President Vladimir Putin of Russia, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, responded, ‘Your mom did.’ She was obviously trying to insult and delegitimize a representative of the liberal media. But the result was to reveal herself as a gross parody of a professional press secretary.”

Defend democracy right now--there are 52,000 elections in 2 weeks, in 2025. Voting rules for 2026 in Maine; PA Supreme Court makeup; NJ and VA Gov and state legislatures; and lots more. Off-year elections are all about turnout. Wherever you live, help get out the vote. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

what a great idea, even if he only “played” it on his phone— but imo it would be even better with small groups of instruments. who’s with me?

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

how can I add a label to one of my posts to warn about potentially offensive language (or anything else)? @bsky.app

Hahaha this is great! Colbert & company hit it out of the park for Jimmy Kimmel. I bet the “powers that be” are sorry they didn’t yank him off the air immediately. 😂

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

ok I cloned the repo and got it working that way. now all I need is some followers and maybe some more posts 🙄 but I was interested in seeing the tool you made.

here are the steps I took:
1) python -m venv .venv
2) source .venv/bin/activate
3) pip install skymarshal
4) skymarshal (command not found)
5) python -m skymarshal (the aforementioned error)

I must’ve done the install wrong. This is what I’ve got, directory-wise. “pip install -e .” doesn’t work in either of those directories— “…does not appear to be a Python project”

nice! unfortunately, I can’t get it to work. I suspect zsh, but not certain. I’m also a n00b at virtual environments, so idk. pip says it’s installed, but when I try to run, it says “__main__.py: error: the following arguments are required: source_path” 🙁

yes, do tell! the only reason I watch Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Myers, & Stephen Colbert is for their constant roasting of the current admin. If somebody else is doing it better, I need to know!
