Why is no one talking about the fact that the executive order attempting to create a “safe and beautiful” task force would give the President the means to build a personal army using DC law enforcement?

Why is no one talking about the fact that it says right in the order that he plans to use —
TIPPING

We’ve been tipping for so long
That moss had time to grow around our roots,
Industriously bridging the reaching spaces between ourselves and solid ground.

We’ve been tipping,
My darling.

Sideways became our new up
And I had almost stopped scrambling to catch us

Inspired by @meganmarkle.bsky.social ‘s new show to try a pan pasta dish this morning. I really enjoyed the first episode; the interactions between she and Daniel were genuine, and so low key for American TV. The focus on his experience and pleasure, on doing these things out of love was lovely.

I might be part of it too.
Am I part of this project? Perhaps…

Can we discuss for a moment that a reporter was more trustworthy with US secrets than the man ostensibly in charge of US secrets?

Can we, for a moment examine the size and speed of the bullet we dodged by way of @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social ‘s integrity and discretion?

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

Important.
That “to break even” stat means that the amount of pushed AI across all platforms will be utterly suffocating in about three years
Some astonishing numbers in here:
-OpenAI loses $2 for every $1 it makes
-OpenAI projects annual losses of $14 billion by 2026
-To break even OpenAI needs to increase revenue 25x in just 5 years
-33% of VC portfolios are committed to AI
-5 AI-heavy stocks account for 29% of the S&P 500's value

This entire thread.
What’s even worse is that Hegseth leaked that Kim and Hugo got PINNED.

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

If you do it deliberately, it’s treason. Full stop.

I’m not going to be baited into meaningless action.

Driving to Washington to protest is a good use of some peoples’ time. Not mine. My entire job is about dismantling this shit.

Simply surviving, teaching and being who I am, caring for those around me who are most affected is critical work.

This weird person keeps showing up everywhere I do and taking photos of me. So annoying. @owlchick.bsky.social

I’m the person who goes to a fetish night at a gay bar and winds up talking full stack development and how the only reason we don’t have quantum computing is because we don’t train artists to be programmers and vice versa.

But truly, we cannot be so beholden to capitalism that we —

Just found out that LibGen pirated three of my stories, as if short fiction writers weren’t getting shafted quite hard enough.

Spent the earlier part of the day going through my dad’s belongings, feeling like a vulture.

Going to the Eagle. Clearly the answer to all of this shit.

I’m Kel and this might be my studio. Is. I mean it is my studio.
Not all stories must be told... some must be lived. 🌆

Move in today and become a part of our journey at Wilderook. There’s much more to uncover in this journey ahead. 👀📦
