cuomo isn't actually running for mayor at this point, he's running to be the token 'I was a Democrat but then the LEFT went too far' guy for some of the worst people on earth.

the official cuomo twitter account is making nice with a lot of hard right personalities in the replies to some recent tweets, like the sequoia capital guy who said you shouldn't vote for a muslim candidate because it is a religion of liars

Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired!

Read Pope Leo XIV's first homily as pope
During his homily, delivered in Italian, Leo XIV said that Christians must serve a world that is often hostile to their beliefs.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.

It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

You will not understand MAGA/Trumpism until you understand how many Americans are domestic abusers or grew up in abusive environments. Trump sits in at the top of the dominance heirarchy for them in a way that does not make sense to those of us who grew up in healthy families.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.

He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

I think @nathantankus.bsky.social's piece on the Biden economy is really solid, and the big issue people have with Biden is less about what he did on the economy writ large, and more about the contrast between having and not having a social safety net

The introduction and then subsequent final expiration of these programs are an extremely underdiscussed element of the election results (though since I started working on this piece, some coverage has emerged). Yes, price increases, particularly those for food, energy and rental housing had a crucial- and continuing — impact on many households, particularly those at the bottom half of the distribution of income. But the income drop off from the expiration of these programs made it a brutal double whammy. It’s important to understand how much these programs reduced both income inequality in the United States, as well as the probability of experiencing income declines.

Those new to Bsky need to be made aware of one of the greatest skeets ever, deleted long before its time.
A skeet from “rare body oils” that says: TREBEK: Feel free to ask these diminutive spirits for sexual favors, but don't say "guten Tag" -- they're not actually German! me: who are the slut gnomes of false berlin TREBEK: Bizarre little men. You're still in control of the board

Hey @itch.io , any thoughts on letting creators add their Bluesky handles to their itch profiles?

Pretty sure most of us would prefer that over promoting X in any way, shape, or form.

A bunch of men are hanging out in a big hole. A sign points to it labelled "Hole." One of the men in the hole points to a sign that says "NEW HOLE." He says "hey look! someone made a new hole!" All the men frantically rush out of the old hole and into the new one. One comments "this feels like how the old hole used to feel."

hi #PortfolioDay

i'm jaen, a trans illustrator of the fantastic and the macabre.

i'm available for book covers, album art, posters, splash art, and other large illustrations for your projects. i also do hand-lettered title treatments.

full portfolio, rates, & contact info: jnb.art
a black and white illustration of a swamp landscape gnarled trees and skulls floating in the water. there is a stylized curled banner at the top that says "swamp" a color illustration of a gaunt entity wearing a woman's business suit, whose hands and feet perpetually bleed a bitumen-like substance that drains the life out of everything it touches. she has a featureless visage of industrial smoke. she leans over a humanoid monster whose flesh has been eaten away my the substance oozing from the demon's hand. A color cover illustration for the Little Wolves TTRPG with muted purples, blues, greens, yellows, and reds, with black line art. The title logo is done in a yellow stylized blackletter ambigram style that reads the same upside down and right-side up. The logo sits in front of a large red moon. The main focal point of the composition is a young werewolf with glowing eyes, running along with two wolves behind them. The werewolf is tangled in the vines emerging from the silhouetted trees that frame the composition. Along the edges of that frame, in four circular vignettes created by the branches and vines, there are cameos of the four queens of the game: the witch queen, the troll queen, the pumpkin queen, and the mermaid queen. A banner along the bottom of the cover reads “A realm of folk and fae from Dinoberry Press" a black and white ink illustration on dura-lar of a 3 story building with neo-colonial and victorian architectural details. the first floor is an arcana shop called Hierophany & Hedge, and the moulding above the windows also says “reagents, wands, talismans, bespoke arcana”
