All opinions here are my own. Yeah, even that one.
I guess I should update my first post of the day to "potential war crime".

This is what I'm talking about. I realize I suck at posting and there have been plenty of other things I should be talking about. I will talk about those as I try to not suck at posting but I'm talking about this now.
All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.
Q: On the Venezuela vessel strike, what legal authority were you guys working under?

JD VANCE: The legal authority is there are people who are bringing -- literal terrorists -- who are bringing deadly drugs into our country

The fact that the President of the United States announced a war crime in the middle of a news conference and then follow it up with a more detailed confession of said war crime on social media and there's barely a reaction to it goes to show how numbed we are as a society to this barbarism.

@heybloxburg.bsky.social Trying to help my daughter out with a bug we found. When she tries to buy a new plot, she gets a “E_PlotPurchaseFailed” error. She has enough money to complete the transaction but it always fails. Any ideas?

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.

Maybe not "dead" dead but at least "dead inside" dead and in the end, isn't that better?
Yes, my economic plan will cause short term pain. But after that you won't feel the pain anymore because you'll be dead

I wanted to see if I could grab a list of all the Dems in Congress to follow. Maybe see if they had some starter packs or something. I found a metaphor instead. cc: @schumer.senate.gov @repdangoldman.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov + whoever in Sen. Gillibrand's office should be signing her up here.

It's writing like this that makes me love this guy. Also his sartorial sense is always on point. Folllow @jamellebouie.net and learn from someone who knows what's what.

I never got my invite so I had to wait until today for this place to be open. Guess I'll be looking for a new set of accounts to follow too. I may as well take advantage of the reset and be a little more picky.
