I have been reminded that "whatever" is Gonzo's species not gender but I'm sorry Gonzo is the fashion inspo for nearly every enby I know and is dating a chicken, no way we're saying this is a cis-hetero-normative vibe
"Gonza" implies that "Gonzo" isn't gender neutral despite the Muppet's gender consistently being described as "whatever"
Tell me you have never read Hunter S. Thompson without telling me you have never read Hunter S. Thompson.

Many things that make the UX of this compelling but there’s a real “banality of evil” demonstration at work too. Epstein’s most recent emails are a Quora digest and a Flipboard newsletter. Jarring to see those mixed in among depravity.

It’s a very big deal that Spotlight reporters published details about how and how much public money is being spent to support ICE’s favored airline.
Why? Bc the body gifting ICE Air all this public cash – the Delaware River and Bay Authority, or DRBA – is an oversight black hole.

ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.
The feds are escalating in Los Angeles. We've seen record high kidnappings and our communities are under attack. The media focus on LA has died down so electeds don't feel the need to even feign opposition.
People are out here fighting. We need all of us. Join the struggle. Defend your neighbors.

This is a great article to keep in mind if the Museum of the City of New York ever comes around demanding your (unpaid) labor, historians, or asking for cash donations.
"The director of the Museum of the City of New York, Stephanie Hill Wilchfort, said she no longer needs to hire copy editors to work on annual reports. [She is turning to AI.]"
This should be embarrassing to admit.

Kind of feel bad for the Foucault-pilled scholars who've spent years being like "you see, power imposes itself subtly on the people" and now have to contend with a federal government with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer
