screen capture of two successive posts from Bluesky user @onestpress.onestnetwork.com Olga Nesterova @onestpress.onestnetwo... Once again. I will not tolerate hatred. October 14, 2025 at 9:04 AM Olga Nesterova5 @onestpres.... Telling me what "credible journalism is" while you are not the one receiving hateful emails in masses and threats from all kind of sides. Calm down. Be decent. Don't like something - politely disagree. Unsubscribe. Do what makes your life better. And I will do the same. Be well.

"Do not return the item," the letter says in bold type. The bottles of Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene are at risk of exploding, even if they're just sitting on a counter, Costco said. People who have one of the bottles are advised to leave it unopened and to wrap it in paper towels and put it in a plastic bag before discarding it in the garbage can.

@chatterton.bsky.social: It's actually far, far worse on Bluesky. The nastiness and vitriol here makes X look civilized and high-minded by comparison The close-minded scolds on here shouldn't flatter themselves @proptermalone.bsky.social: if I wanted to get dunked on less I would simply write better @chatterton.bsky.social: What's your real name so I can see what you've published? @proptermalone.bsky.social: what about your personal history as an author makes you think that getting published is evidence of quality?

now with alt text:
Excerpt from a dissenting opinion by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson: In a broader sense, however, today's ruling is of a piece with this Court's recent tendencies. "[R]ight when the Judiciary should be hunkering down to do all it can to preserve the law's constraints," the Court opts instead to make vindicating the rule of law and preventing manifestly injurious Government action as difficult as possible. Id., at (JACKSON, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 21). This is Calvinball jurisprudence with a twist. Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this Administration always wins.

That and 3(b) seem like significant escalations.
(b) Within 60 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General shall review all ongoing Federal consent decrees, out-of-court agreements, and post-judgment orders to which a State or local law enforcement agency is a party and modify, rescind, or move to conclude such measures that unduly impede the performance of law enforcement functions.

Sec. 5. Holding State and Local Officials Accountable. The Attorney General shall pursue all necessary legal remedies and enforcement measures to enforce the rights of Americans impacted by crime and shall prioritize prosecution of any applicable violations of Federal criminal law with respect to State and local jurisdictions whose officials: (a) willfully and unlawfully direct the obstruction of criminal law, including by directly and unlawfully prohibiting law enforcement officers from carrying out duties necessary for public safety and law enforcement; or (b) unlawfully engage in discrimination or civil-rights violations under the guise of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” initiatives that restrict law enforcement activity or endanger citizens.

Excerpt from statement of Alex Doe in NATIONAL TREASURY EMPLOYEES UNION, et al., Plaintiffs, v. RUSSELL VOUGHT, in his official capacity as Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, et al., Defendants. ... 6. DOGE member Gavin Kliger managed the RIF. He kept the team up for 36 hours straight to ensure that the notices would go out yesterday (April 17). Gavin was screaming at people he did not believe were working fast enough to ensure they could go out on this compressed timeline, calling them incompetent.

April 4 2025 tweet from the DOGE Twitter account: The @USGSA IT team just saved $1M per year by converting 14,000 magnetic tapes (70 yr old technology for information storage) to permanent modern digital records. Readers added context: Despite its age, magnetic tape is still highly favorable for long-term, static data archives. It offers cost-effectiveness (cheaper than disk/cloud), longevity (outlasts disk drives), offline security (resists cyber threats), and high capacity (up to 50TB per tape). research.ibm.com/blog/tape-dens… corodata.com/tape-backups-s…

perhaps it is time to destroy phone

either way, excellent diagnosis by @katewagner.bsky.social of McMansion Hell fame
To put it a different way, part of our collective feeling of futurelessness, I believe, is caused by design. In phoneworld, it's not just that we're getting the news. It's that we're getting the news, and the knee-jerk reactions of hundreds of people to that news, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, locking us into an eternal present where the time passes in huge slices and nothing changes beyond the movement of the thumb along the glass screen. In phoneworld, politics closes in on us with the sheer repetitive brunt of this hopelessness. Because of this subjugation, we are unable to give space to our own thoughts and feelings, unable to act because we just want to see what's next in the feed. Maybe it'll be good news, maybe it'll be funny, maybe it'll be smart (less a possibility these days), but in order to get that glimpse of hope or at least of levity, one has to suffer through the same iterations of terribleness...

what a surprising revelation
Except from the quote-posted Texas Observer investigation: “America is a White nation, founded by Whites. … Our country should favor us,” GlomarResponder wrote last month. “All blacks are foreign to my people, dumb fuck,” the account posted in September of last year. “Freedom of association hasn’t existed in this country since 1964 at the absolute latest,” GlomarResponder wrote four months prior, further clarifying the post was referring to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in a reply to a comment. “I’m not a commie, I’m a fascist,” GlomarResponder posted a couple weeks later. “Fascists solve communist problems. Get your insults right, retard.”
