Yeah, no, don't touch her you freaking unbelievable pervert.
The president interrupted his Christmas remarks because he was confused about whether or not the woman five feet in front of him was his daughter who, he has repeatedly said in public, he would very much like to fuck.

Anyway, Merry Christmas!

Massive Layoffs at the Dept of #Education Erode Its #CivilRights Division

Only five of the agency’s civil rights offices remain nationwide. Those who are still with the department say it will now be “virtually impossible” to resolve #discrimination complaints.

Usually @sifill.bsky.social anchors our New Years episode. But we needed her early this year. On the many ways it's too late to be indifferent but never ever too late to get in the fight for the Fourteenth Amendment and all that it promises. swap.fm/l/AmicusWith...

Even in the midst of the homophobic 1980s, when Section 28 was spawned, I don’t recall any BBC freelancer being hauled off the air for expressing support for gay people.

You know He would. Friend of sinners and all.

And then, I'd be like kneeling and rubbing his feet with oil, and He'd be like, Okay dude, I'll wash your feet, but after that... that's the boundary, you're dusted.
I deserve all I get, tbh.

The doors/the walls are closing. One way? This may be what the White Chrsto-fascists want, but I bet a majority of real Republicans are regretting having taken their cues from tRump during Biden's term and had actually passed bipartisan immigration reform. Now we're devolving into a police state.

“He is not unstoppable and you are not without power”

Remind yourself of this every day.

Especially on the bad days.
Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

thieves. That's absolutely clear.

And when he collapses they can then move in because he can't voice non-consent? He can't tell them no, so now they can?

It's all very interesting.

Co-pilot is goofy.

Q: Aquarius was the part that was sung at the end of the 12 December 2025 episode, The Gap. What artist or performing group is singing it? It sounds like Astrud Gilberto on lead vocals, but her cover of the song is not in her catalog, that i can find.

"Answer" in ALT text.

I think that bastardize is the correct word here, not decorate.

You too can decorate your home like the White House, and it’s just a click away.

an important read for at least 2 reasons:

1. shows how big tech operates on intuitions and vibes and not rigorous research

2. this is a masterpiece in how to breakdown complex scientific concepts in simple language and elegant pros that captivate the lay reader

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.
There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.

I mean, one of the approaches is not like the other.

This Department of War stuff is getting out of hand: we watch what they do and see who they are, and who they want to protect. We see the priorities of the tRump administration and they are un-American.
Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.

Idk, just spitballing here.

In which we reject the notion that the world is served by laser tagging.
Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.
