Plenty of things to give Bluesky a kicking about regarding moderation and 'open' labellers, but the private school labeller now having an 'Epstein Connection' label also shows it can be extremely lmao.

Equalizing electricity prices between residential, commercial, and industrial customers would save households - aka voters - 21% on their electricity bills. Commercial prices would go up 1%. Industrial prices would go up 59% because residential and commercial customers deeply subsidize them today.
7. Residential customers - aka you and me, aka voters - pay 28% more (16.5 c/kWh, 2024 average) than commercial customers (12.9 c/kWh) and 201% more than industrial (8.2 c/kWh). This trend is accelerating: Residential prices rose 27% from 2019-2023, vs. 21% for commercial and 19% for industrial.

so megyn’s sources confirm trump raped a 15 year-old is what i’m getting here
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

I think there are a number of people employed at the New York Times -- certainly not all of them, but many! -- who simply do not grasp how badly the paper's credibility has been shaken over the past few years, along several different axes, and for multiple different reasons

i remain steadfast in my belief that the most parsimonious explanation for their decisions is they simply did not want to imprison donald trump. it was something they wanted to avoid more than just about anything else. it scared the shit out of them and led them to delay and ignore him far too long

This seemed incongruous coming from an arch-socialist but then I discovered Chomsky describes himself as a libertarian-socialist so yeah, this squares.
Remember when Noam Chomsky showed up as having flown on Epstein’s jet from Boston to New York and his excuse was he was just going to have dinner with Epstein and *Woody Allen* and he thought they was a *mitigating factor*? Good times

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

My theory - 90s were so good in the west because russians were picking themselves up after fall of ussr and couldn't have intervened to make everything shitty to the scale they're doing it now
