Note that, like slamming your head against the wall, reading Matt Tglesias is associated with chronic encephalopathy.

Although preliminary results indicate that slamming your head repeatedly into a 1' concrete and/or 3/8" steel wall has a smaller correlation with brain damage than Matt's writing.

Dude get out of here with the blueanon

Bluesky is so relatively nice with the mostly coherent discussion, I don't want that to end.

Musk doesn't control AWS DNS. Nor does starlink have enough bandwidth to "replace the cloud" (land based fiber)

American corporations are able to fuck up their DNS all by themselves, thank you very much

I mean agreed but I don't get how the German treatment of others comes into play here

I'm not moralizing anything here, and by and large I think we should have killed way more Nazis than we did and not let them back into civil society.

None of that changes the surrender calculus.

Amazon literally ran out of eligible candidates to hire in the inland empire because they treat their workers so shittily

AoC did the right move by not letting them into Queens.

Have fun Mr URA!

Was this today? I may have interacted with the ice agents in the kia car, they said i was impeding while crossing a crosswalk with my dogs in rogers park. One physically moved me out of the crosswalk as I wasn't fast enough I guess

State rep. Hoan Huynh shared video of agents surrounding his vehicle/stopping him + staffers shortly after he said one agent pointed a gun inside his vehicle at him while another threatened to break a window. They were following feds in Albany Park after four people were reportedly taken.

Story tk.

“Once my colleague pulled out his camera, the agent put away the gun," Huynh told the Sun-Times Tuesday night. "[But] if they can do this in broad daylight to an elected official, and point a gun at someone, imagine what’s happening behind closed doors.”

Yglesias is now calling for repealing the 14th amendment, if you want a sense of the scale of retreat being contemplated, and why I don't think it's a tenable strategy.

And they were right, the Soviets treated their prisoners like shit while the western allies mostly gave slaps on the wrist

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission)

Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

It really sucks to realize that Bernie Sanders would have made a terrible president, because despite having a lot of integrity himself, he is an abysmal judge of character. Just fuckup after fuckup with the candidates who only get traction from his endorsement. His appointees would have been awful.

Honestly I think she would have done better with only 1 or 2 months

Cause man when the consultant class started muzzling Walz and ton policing her shit, it was game over

I yearn for the reality where she could have actually called him a motherfucker without self censoring

Incredible what a great Rorschach test the Platner tattoo is. Almost no one I have respect for is defending it and almost everyone I think is a dishonest hack is coming up with excuses. Like, cutting across ideology even!

Authoritarian/single party states are inevitably corrupt because being a "yes man" is the only way to survive, until reality hits home, in which case you get purged, but since the dynamics haven't changed the next sucker in line goes through the same process yet again, ad infinitum

So pretty much everyone here was already purged or disappeared in the last year; this is just the official confirmation.

So I’ve been busy with a ton of other stuff, but basically, China just purged, basically all, of the senior leadership of the military - He Weidong was CMC Vice Chair, Miao Hua was head of the political department. Seeing some stuff about key branch leadership also going.

So much tear gas & flash grenades tonight at ICE in Portland. US Gestapo came out, pushed people back & held a line as other feds shot down tear gas canisters from the roof. People were dancing before this as an impromptu rave broke out

At their scale, yeah, they're not getting more marginal deals/brackets. They're solidly in the "enterprise contact an account manager" level of spend, beyond the public standard reducing cost on higher usage brackets.
