This could've been fixed with a phone call. Ask the AMA to send it again. That is, if NYT cared about the accuracy of their initial report.

Tell it to the kids in cages.

YES!!!

I don't swear often, but fuck you, #utgop! You changed the law to try to prevent the people you'd duped into signing from removing their names, and they paid the price of a stamp to do it anyway.

Prop 4 repeal fails to make 2026 ballot after Utah voters pull their signatures

A Republican-back effort to repeal Prop 4, Utah's anti-gerrymandering law, will fail to make the 2026 ballots after voters withdrew their signatures.

I so don't care except in the way it's an example Utah and the US don't give individuals and couples sufficient support to learn healthier interpersonal dynamics or separate if they can't.

The Dow is under 46,000, my dude. It was 50,000 *before* you attacked Iran.

He acknowledges the humanity of the people who didn't see him and his family as human and reminds the lawyer of that fact.

@mekkaokereke
He is so right and so justified in his actions.

I like the suit he chose to wear for the deposition, too.

"It" is a pronoun.

With the Texas conviction of people protesting ICE as "terrorists," it's clear who the target is. Ultimately, anyone who disagrees with Trump.

Colonizer asks country fighting against another colonizer for help against the country they want to colonize.

@thetnholler.bsky.social
This is what happens when people are allowed to accumulate more wealth than they could ever spend on themselves and the people in their lives. They need more taxes, not more power.

I wonder why the DoD can't pass an audit 8 years running. And why its budget keeps going up anyway.

@mrs_malice @RickiTarr
Yeah. I got that. Wasn't trying to criticize. Just sharing my take.

When you're poorer, how you do really is Bishop lottery. Some bishops are freer with funds and the bishop's storehouse (food bank) than others.

Something that shocked me was that the state of Utah actually uses the church to make up the difference for government welfare, and then depending on your membership or bishop, you might be SOOL.

Heck, Justice Thomas is racist against black people.

Probably about that "Bored of Peace" thing.

He doesn't. He's said he doesn't. Only losers join the military.

It probably fell down your pants leg as you were walking. I've had that happen.

It might be useful to reference the recent news on censorship on TikTok and BlueSky and Threads and Instagram.

I like my instance's rules, but if they ever change, I can keep my name and followers and just switch instances to one where I can continue as I have been. I don't have to worry about who owns the gated garden I'm allowed to interact in or how they feel about our demented dictator's whims from minute to minute.

It's more stable. It's also more international. I know what other people think around the world.
