I think it’s fine if you just call it mass murder, Chris, there’s no reason to equivocate about it

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 15h

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

“I’m going to Instagram, I can definitely trust that algorithm to send me real stuff”

“did you know that the same US Air Marshal detained 7,500 people last week alone”

always sad when an elder millennial gets radicalized into a Facebook aunt after watching way too much instagram and starts believing every airplane outburst reel actually happened and they aren’t all recorded on the exact same airplane set in 15 min increments

Trump can’t help hitting the “I’m just built different” during a memorial event, it’s legit hilarious that he simply doesn’t give a shit

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 13h

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

going from New Vegas to Fallout 4 replay is the most hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby matchup in history. one the single greatest games ever made to more daddy issues, missing the joke dogshit. damn, we really gotta get the Fallout franchise away from Bethesda and with a competent developer

rolled credits on New Vegas replay. pretty novel take here but it’s still one of the greatest games ever made. wiping out the Legion and tossing Lee Oliver off the Hoover Dam never gets old

Donald Trump says his TIME Magazine cover may be the “worst picture of all time”:

“They “disappeared” my hair… I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out.”

I need ppl to understand that no matter how well meaning someone running as a democrat is, when they are absorbed and become somewhat dependent on the party, they will make concessions and use language they provide etc

It’s like how capitalists, no matter how well meaning, need to increase profit

a ceasefire is quite literally the best thing Israel could’ve hoped for at this point and they’re going to ruin this one in less than a week because they can’t stop killing civilians for a single second

LIVE: Israel shoots dead at least 9 Palestinians in Gaza despite ceasefire

Israeli soldiers kill at least nine Palestinians trying to return to their homes in northern Gaza City and southern Khan Younis

‘You cease, I fire’: Israel kills 9 Palestinians despite Gaza truce

unironically correct, most gave up on any pretenses to theological consistency long ago, consciously or otherwise, there’s no reason to expect it of them

they’re calling Kingdom of Heaven (director’s cut) the single most Hollywood lib-brained 9/11 movie that isn’t Revenge of the Sith (mostly complimentary)

Dr Eleanor Janega @goingmedieval.bsky.social · 2d

Texting Luke while we watch Kingdom of Heaven.

A screen shot of a text conversation I say to Luke
"God it is so boring".
He says: "Oh I love it."
I say: "I want something to happen."
He says: "Too bad".

Periodically I remember what this website was like when it collectively thought Hamas was going to win and crush Israel or whatever it thought for the month or so after October 7th and anytime anyone on here bitches about Biden, I remember that

if I were Gov Pritzker and I actually opposed Trump instead of just bring a meme candidate, I would simply order my state troopers to stand down and not defend ICE.

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

well, I didn’t think I’d ever feel sorry for George Santos but here we are

onion person @junlper.beer · 2d

just found out that about a week ago, while george santos has been in solitary confinement, that he wrote that due to the inhuman conditions he is facing he is now pro prison reform. just unreal stuff honestly

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, I paced in circles like a restless ghost.
The windows were frosted, allowing only a faint suggestion of daylight and nightfall, enough to remind me that time was passing, though I had little sense of how.
The shower water was always cold, and my only amenities were the steel toilet and sink fused together in the corner. It was a miserable existence. Yet, as I soon learned, misery can always be deepened
On September 7th, the warden's office saw fit to move me into something far worse, an even smaller cell, no more than seven by nine feet, coated in filth, reeking of neglect, and utterly devoid of natural light or ventilation.
In that suffocating shoebox, there is no room to walk, no hint of the sun, no trace of humanity. The silence is crushing.
The air feels stale. The walls themselves seem to close in. I keep asking myself: will this barbaric confinement ever end? Is this legal under our Constitution, or have I simply been erased from the protections of due process?
Most haunting of all, will I survive it? With no access to my family, no calls, no emails, and with letters that may never leave this building, I live in total darkness, cut off from the world I once fought to serve.
Let me be blunt: I find Warden Kelly's so-called "protection" not only unpalatable, but cruel and unjustifiable. My time here has opened my eyes to a truth far too many ignore: America desperately needs prison reform.

huge fan of all the funny shit you can do in the endgame (not that I condone them all, of course): 10 ways to kill Kimball during his speech, selling Arcade into slavery as Caesar’s doctor, toss Oliver off the Dam, giving a companion to cannibal casino owners, shotgun brain surgery etc etc

if we just change all the social media algorithms and Israel stops saying “we love killing Arabs” and we purge the past 2 years from people’s memories and the economy gets better miraculously and every western govt stops funding Israel… then maybe, just maybe, Israel’s image will improve
