weird how a speaker at a major conservative political conference calling for the end of democracy and the establishment of a theocratic authoritarian state is something i have to read about in goofy little niche websites and social media accounts because i can't find it in, like, the pages of a newspaper whose catchphrase is "Democracy Dies in Darkness."

the cops and liberal leaders have signaled that college protestors are not protected by the rule of law, so now the right-wing brawlers have showed up to attack them, right on schedule. great job everyone. https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/ucla-leaders-declare-pro-palestinian-encampment-as-unlawful-orders-everyone-to-leave/

seems weird to me that neither the Washington Post nor the New York Times have anything on their front pages about the governor of Texas asserting that he does not have to follow federal law and calling for armed resistance against federal enforcement of that law.

glad to see #bikedc moving from Xitter to BlueSky. I imagine it will end up having the same problems eventually, but for now seems like a good place to build a network. 👍

you know what immediately turns me off is job posts that start with "Are you passionate about..." no ma'am, i am not, i am just trying to earn some money, sorry if that makes me a sell-out.

it's like code for "we would like to find someone who for some reason enjoys doing this work so we can work them harder and pay them less."

look, there’s a lot going on here, but my impression is that there’s a “cities are fine, actually” orthodoxy amongst the urbanist folks that’s not 100% correct. something is going wrong. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/05/02/nordstorm-closing-san-francisco/

Israel is going to say "whoopsie, sorry" about the WCK atrocity, but it will accomplish what they set out to do, which is discourage international aid orgs from working in Gaza. it's an implicit future death threat directed at anyone who would dare extend help to the starving people of Gaza. war crime. collective punishment. ethnic cleansing. https://wck.org/news/gaza-team-update

look i know the joke is "let's see ol' Donny wriggle out of this one" but the walls are genuinely closing in on Trump. his campaign isn't raising enough money, he's gonna be defending himself in a criminal trial during a presidential election, lenders are now wary of him, and he's gutted the GOP machine. plus, his health is visibly deteriorating, ffs it's been eight years since the 2016 race (side note: oooof.).

I made a bot! the @actuallybot uses The Power Of Generative Artificial Intelligence to reply-guy a post anytime you tag it in. it's made with Python and Ollama, using a custom model of LLama3:8b. whole thing is running in a Docker container on an old Lenovo laptop. it is always on and ready to politely tell your online enemies why they are wrong about everything. please let me know if it breaks.

Biden needs enthusiasm from young voters and black voters to win in November and he is fucking that up right now because ensuring Israel can continue massacring Gazan civilians is more important to him than safeguarding American democracy from Trump and the GOP. unbelievable.
