This probably isn’t the developers’ top priority (although it should be), but I’d love to see the Bluesky app have an option to switch to the Julian calendar for those of us who reject the lies of Pope Gregory XIII

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

I don't want my appliances to be connected to the internet. I don't want them to have blinky lights or touch screen controls or be accessible by phone. All I want is for them to do the one thing they are supposed to do, and to beep less.
Hear that, manufacturers? Less beeping.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Stephen Miller and Homan’s goal is to shock and awe blue cities to terrify whole communities. They’ll deliberately targeting businesses, schools, hospitals churches and other places of worship. They want Americans to be afraid. Mayors and governors must stand up to them. Lawyers get on standby.

Normally, most Americans and even we in the media don't pay much attention to the Secretary of Defense. Now with Pete Hegseth running this critical agency he has absolutely no qualifications for, which controls our nukes, we'll be keeping tabs daily to see if he's drunk off his ass or goofing on TV.

Trump just undid the only good thing GWB did in his entire 8 years.
Many sudden and shocking health care developments this week. But this was a big one: The Trump administration on Friday paused funding for PEPFAR, the famed program to fight HIV/AIDS around the world.
