Our first potato harvest from the backyard! It's not much, but it feels good to have grown a thing on our own ya know? Wish more red taters made it. I'll have to do more research on them and see if maybe they need planting at a different time of year or with different soil

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites
The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

Imagine telling all the people who dropped *twitter* "if you don't like it, just leave"
Man, is *that* a gamble you wanna make?
How come all my trans friends keep getting suspended in this platform, Jay?

We knew from the start we can’t get everything right. Moderation is a hard problem, and it’s impossible to please everyone. So we built a protocol where you always have the right to leave. If you don’t trust us, or don’t like our decisions, you deserve the right to choose an alternative.

Christine and I went to a one-day choir thing being done by the Gaia Music Collective in Boston on Sunday. It was a good time! This is our almost final run through of the song. I gotta break it into parts because Bluesky says so

America's disdain for expression sacrificed first porn, then furries, then queer people, then everyone.
All so rich cis people could say to each other, "oh, I just think women FRIENDSHIPS should be more important than showing anything lesbian or gay," or other mewling, pearl-clutching lies.

Remember that the Closing of the American Internet didn't start with YouTube.
It started with Pornhub. You just believed them when they said it would stop there.

YouTube's launch comes despite concerns on age verification infringing on personal privacy and violating First Amendment protections on free speech.

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.
"What service is Microsoft providing?"
Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

Please sign!!! Credit card companies should not be policing content. The effect is the criminalization of LGBTQ+ voices.
Once again, there is an ACLU petition specifically made to stop Mastercard from unlawfully policing adult content. It’s getting pretty grim for us out there. Please sign and/or spread the word.

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people.
Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
