Reminds me that we have an ai "Town Hall" meeting next week at work. Why do the have to call it that. It is never appropriate to refer to a meeting as a "town hall" except when it's open to the public and it happens at a town hall.

It's very funny to me that I can't reach bsky when I click through links, but I _can_ see bsky posts through brid.gy because they come through a properly federated mastodon (well, activitypub) network. It's almost like federation and decentralization works.. or something.

The text in the screenshot is exactly what the Hebrew scripture “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” is warning against. People think of that text as an endorsement of revenge, but it’s not; it is a •limit• on retribution. It says that the magnitude of punishment must not exceed the magnitude of the crime.

Vaak ben ik het wel met Yusibov eens, maar in dit geval niet. De oorlog winnen en een sterke Poetin in het zadel houden in 2022 had niets opgelost.
Rusland moet uiteindelijk zien dat Poetin geen oplossing biedt. De oorlog die Oekraïne nu naar Rusland brengt kan daar hopelijk het nodige aan bijdragen.
De oorlog van dit moment was in 2022 niet mogelijk.

This post is correct. Also…those people Katelyn's talking about are sweeping under the rug what actually happened:
Obama supported gay marriage in the mid-90S.
When that became an electoral liability in larger races, he took the position of supporting same-sex civil unions instead of same-sex marriage (which would still have been a big win in 2008 if legalized nationally, and was still a risky position to take).
Then he switched back to favoring gay marriage in a hot second as soon as it seemed like public support was behind it and his opposition might become a barrier.
• • •
Say what you will about him being deceptive or opportunistic or incrementalist or scheming or you just hate Obama or whatever, fine, I don't really care. Katelyn’s point is the important one: Obama consistently staked out positions in the direction of •increased• civil rights for queer folks, and moved his position to keep pushing in that direction relative to whatever the political conditions were.
I would be perfectly frigging delighted if Democrats now would consistently do the same for trans folks. Come on, y’all.
P.S. Replies of the form “you mentioned Obama so here’s some other thing I don’t like about him” are tiresome and will be an instant mute.

This was part of my frustration with working in policy enforcement, a.k.a. Abuse Desk. No one bothers to report abuse. That’s a 2-nines “no one.”
The worst embedded autoplaying horse porn email spammers generate at most single-digit-percentage abuse reports. I’m sure social media is much worse, because people have acclimatized themselves to social media being full of garbage that no one will stop.

1. A lot of people still need to get this through their thick heads. Whole lot of misplaced blame out there.
2. It’s still 100% OK to dislike her personally and/or politically. Obviously. Don’t @ me.
3. I continue to be vexed, bordering on apoplectic, about how many Harris campaign port-mortems fail to account for or even name the single, most obvious, most Occam-will-haunt-you-forever explanation for a Black woman losing a national election in the United States. I’m not saying that sexism racism is the whole story; I’m just saying that if you don’t even •mention• it, I am going to have trouble listening to anything else you say.

AeS has better policy positions, HS has a solid legislative record. They BOTH have style issues. This is why I was for McMorrow (good policy & legislative chops) but that was not to be.

Just finished reading @alvartheo.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy's novel Benothinged all in one day. The protagonist is a mourning British ace enby with autism and depression and the story gets way dark with all the problems one might face with all those things, but it gets it, too. Really gets how hard it can be and takes you there and asks, "OK, what now?" And it does it all with a horror twist.
I bought it as a ebook from the publisher's site months ago, knowing my bookclub was reading it this month. I wish I could tell you all where to get your copy, but the publisher's site closed. It's worth the effort to find it on ebay or if you're in the UK, you might be able to find it in the shops.
ISBN (paperback): 978-1-915691-09-5
ISBN (ebook): 978-1-915691-10-1
I don't want to spoil it, but I really liked how the characters were written and want to read more from this author. I wish their Bluesky account was bridged so I can find out what they've written/are coming out with next.
