At no point in the Iraq War did anyone in the administration say anything like this bloodthirsty. The message was that we were going to free the Iraqis (thus Dick Cheney’s “we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators” line bsky.app/profile/laur...

Khamenei propaganda. Ridiculous missile
White House tweet. Walter White
White House tweet. Transformers
White House tweet. Deadpool
Thanks to Donald Trump, White House propaganda is now as embarrassing as an other dictatorship

Top notch replies on here, I feel proud to be a Blueskyer today 🫡
This seems logical? It’s a @trumwill.bsky.social -coded observation
This is why CFO is the best position. No one cares what you do

Mixed feelings on this
It’s kind of funny that pretending to like the food at McDonald’s is part of the McDonald’s CEO’s job (~$20 million/ year) and that he is being publicly shamed for not doing it convincingly enough
It’s better than what I was reading which was that it is a bankrupted company trying to buy back its assets at a drastic discount and sorry but what does that have to do with a horse?
I don’t actually know what a stalking horse is, so we’re even
Asian android woman's head with a thumb inserted between her lips with the text text reads "QUESTION EVERYTHING" in white. At the bottom, "EQUINOX" and "IT'S NOT FITNESS. IT'S LIFE."
Image of a white woman with the text : but yourself referring to the Asian woman as fake while she is real.
Image of a shirtless Black man with the text YOURSELF as juxtaposed to again the Asian woman being an Android
Image of a white man riding a sheep with personality
Reemergence of Techno-Orientalism, where Asian women have historically been viewed through the prism of exotic, high-end commodities. The fetishization by treating us as sophisticated hardware instead of human beings.
Noticed how Equinox Fitness LA depicts the others as REAL, SELF, and individuals.
"One user estimated that it took him 20 hours to write a dividend discount valuation model using a software routine written in machine language, that is, the binary 1's and 0's that computers understand. By contrast, the same exercise, using Personal Software's Visicalc program, took 15 minutes." NY Times, 1980

My husband and I both recently applied for passports. He turned in his application a few days after I did. We both paid for expedited service. His passport has already arrived. Mine is still in process. I got a letter saying they needed documentation supporting my name change. The name change that happened
way back in the 1900s when I got married the first time. When I got divorced 10 years ago, I didn’t change my name back, because I had lived longer with my current name than without it. In 1995, the federal government recognized the change. They sent me a new social security card. They have it on file. But suddenly they don’t understand why my name is different. So I had to drive out of
state to the records office in the town I got married, to retrieve a certified copy of my first marriage license. It was so long ago, they had to pull out a big book and find the paper record. Then they had to input the info into a computer so they could print a certified copy. It cost me $11, plus parking, plus gas, plus 3 hours of my time between driving and waiting. Then I had to go to the post office and mail the document priority mail (I’m on a deadline). That cost me $33. I called
the passport office today, and the application is still pending. I’m nearly $300 into this process, if you don’t count what my time is worth. I’m fortunate I only work M-W so I didn’t have to take off from work to go get my records during business hours. And I need people to understand that “just get a passport” is a privileged thing to say. It’s also a privilege to do. Especially for a married woman who has changed her name.
"Abolish ICE" is the moderate position.
Not changing your name when you get married is the moderate position
There was a significant attempt to get it to be a UN action !
I can’t believe my kid is going to have to deal with that and yet I guess we have to be ready
wut “21% of gen Z males thinking a “real woman” should never initiate sex, compared with only 7% of baby boomer men.”
The Iraq War was bad in that it marked the US starting a war, making us the bad guys.
Nevertheless, it is significant that George W Bush signed Congress’s “Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002” and there’s no similar expectation here

After an entire week of Antigravity downtime for AI Ultra workspace users, and with no official statement by Google and zero help, I finally gave up and asked for a refund. Which Google then refused. Seriously, never use Google for AI.
