US media inching closer to admitting that the country is running concentration camps.

I mean, if they did, they would.

Bluesky suspending antifascist researchers for sharing publicly available information about literal nazis.

Should be no surprise considering bsky constantly protects nazis, the far right, and all flavors of bigotry at the expense of Palestinians and trans women.

Fortunately, their information already spread so far and wide that at least half of the Blood Tribe nazis lost their jobs following the mass doxx. Chris Pohlhaus, leader of BT, estimated financial losses at over $2 million lol. Happy holidays!

This is VERY high up on my list of things we need to do better in 2026: Find a way to use the Admin's claim they oppose antisemitism to impose a cost for the antisemitism they routinely push out. There's literally an EO forbidding federal funding for antisemitism!

Also discussed: The MMO version of David Fincher's The Game where twenty players show up on the denouement rooftop at once so they have to queue up to each accidentally shoot their brother, have an emotional breakdown, and jump off the roof to their personal victory banquet. (Ep.78)

When I was on my last jury both the judge and prosecutor told us “if somebody walks in soaking wet with a wet umbrella, you are allowed to infer it’s raining” over and over again. Good enough to send an average guy down for murder, not good enough for the President.

9 days after Inauguration Day, 404 Media wrote about how this declassified World War II-era government guide to sabotaging fascism became one of the most popular open source books on the internet.

I'd be curious to see a Venn diagram showing the overlap between people mentioned in the Panama Papers and the Epstein Papers.

Do I regret turning down VC money? Not for a second.

VC funding is fast growth paid for by betraying your day-one users and abandoning your principles. That's always the trade.

I'll choose failure over selling out every time.

This community actually matters to me, and I mean that.

If I didn't care about you or the fediverse, I would have sold out long ago.

You deserve better. ❤️
