Friendly reminder: Bsky doesn't censor words. You can say things like kill and fuck here.
When you choose to bowdlerize words on Bsky, it just breaks people's filters. If you type "r*pe" it means that anyone who has a filter to block the word "rape" still sees your post. Knock it off!

This one was so egregious that I initially assumed the NYT person was accurate, just misleading. But no, apparently they were just lying or somehow so incompetent as to be indistinguishable from lying.
A NYT Opinion Writer on the Sulzberger Defense Squad got real high and mighty, and told off a replier who noted the lack of Epstein coverage in the 2016 election.
The search results she referenced? Almost entirely sports section articles mentioning Cubs manager at the time, Theo Epstein!

Between that and actually prosecuting financial crimes as zealously as we do shoplifting, the US could be a utopia right now.
in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

Blocking anyone playing the semantics game. It doesn't matter what you call it, it's wrong. We're not going to hand it to anyone for being "technically right while sounding creepy." We're going to block them and call for prosecution of alllll the sex crimes, including sex trafficking of teens.
I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Native American nearly deported after Polk County Jail issues ICE detainer by mistake
Native American nearly deported after Polk County Jail issues ICE detainer by mistake
Polk County Jail has a 287(g) agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That partnership authorizes local law enforcement officials to perform some immigration enforcement functions, including preparing removal paperwork, interrogating people who have been arrested about their citizenship status and comparing their biographic information against U.S. Department of Homeland Security databases to identify people who may be eligible for deportation.

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.
They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.
They raped them.
Sex implies consent.
The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

One of the striking things in Epstein's emails is how fucking inarticulate he is, and how *every other billionaire is just as bad at communicating*.
They're the exact textual equivalents of any interview with Altman or Musk or Thiel etc just fucking babbling incoherent word salad.
