“This 💩 is 🍌🍌”, a friend writes, re PDX.

Much like "terrorism," it's a word that people use - and abuse - to capture everything they don't like. Trump bellows about human scum, and his speeches, insofar as they are coherent, are fascist, or fascistic enough to count, sure. But you do not live under fascism. /4

The government will need to prove not only that Comey authorized McCabe to leak, but that he had criminal intent to lie about it. There's a reason no career lawyer signed it.

So many of us came so very unwillingly to this place of viewing the Supreme Court as unworthy of being viewed as a judicial body. Unworthy of veneration, unworthy of respect. So profoundly reluctantly. But, good lord have they earned it.

Well don't I feel stupid

Looking like The Guardians have run out of gas—the hole they dug in mid summer was just a little too deep. Still and all, what a heroic sprint to the finish line. Here’s hoping for the third Wild Card berth.

Yes. And stop thumb-sucking about how you're really living in 1925 or 1933 or 1942 and you're the oppressed hero of your own anti-fascist adventure movie.

Not only that, but a fascist government wouldn't have to fire an US atty, find a real estate lawyer, go 2 for 3 on indictments, put up with a video saying "f-you" to the regime, and then head to a trial the government will almost certainly lose.

ok youre officially allowed to be happy about this and to regard the whole fracas a big L and self-own by the admin

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Cleaning up some folders & found this sketch cover done late last year. Can't remember if I posted it or not. Anyway. 13.4" x 10.3" acrylic on paper. #drawing #sketching #sketch #sketchbook #painting #illustration #traditionalart #acrylic #acrylicpainting #painting #analogart #comics #comicart

Netanyahu getting the same treatment at the UN Ahmadinejad got 16 years ago. I wonder if the comparison is lost on Bibi.

Even the late-stage Soviet Union wasn't "fascist," but I can tell you from first-hand experience that it was a fucking scary place. It doesn't have to be "fascism" for you to worry, but the word now has no meaning and all it does is induce defeatism (and bullshit online heroism) in those who use it.

This is cool as Hell.

Opinion | I'm a Republican Senator. If I don't let Donald Trump use the Department of Justice to frivolously prosecute his personal enemies, I'll be primaried by someone who will let Donald Trump use the Department of Justice to frivolously prosecute his personal enemies.

Undersold in the dialogue: USDOJ still ate shit and got no-billed on a third of the charges they sought

"Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture"

Heard the same thing about skillful drawing and painting. Maybe we can team up like a buddy cop movie and roam the country punching these faces together.

A little slice of something I'm cooking up for @joeyesposito.bsky.social recently. Mixed on watercolor paper.

Hi everybody I am a defamation lawyer and I just wanted to let you know that after reading this whole thread I no longer believe in the rule of law or society or written language and I am going to throw my head away

Horrifying.

He literally called Letitia James a racist comment so old timey and arcane that people had no clue what it even meant. It is wild shit, man. He's got a rolodex of racist terms and we just let it go

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Streisand Effect but make it criminal law instead.

I don't think I can politely describe the delight I'd get out of yet another Grand Jury returning yet another no true bill to this administration's DoJ, particularly in this investigation.

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

The US is not one or two election cycles away from being OK even if they’re blowouts.

Pettiest, most petulant administration in history. Second place isn't even close.

A Rapture? In *this* economy?

I've seen enough: with 99% of precincts reporting it's an absolute certainty that the information in Epstein files is cataclysmic for Trump. (Seriously, tho', this is a 180º turn on the one subject about which he's been unshakable for nine years. Hope it sticks.)

if you’re in line to get raptured, STAY IN LINE

How does this sit with the Big Blue faithful, @ronmarz.bsky.social?

Very cool article by Jackson's Art about the history of Golden Acrylic: www.jacksonsart.com/blog/2024/06...

Some of us do.

It's really astonishing to get the UN address so soon after the autism/Tylenol press event. That much stupid in less than 24 hours is quite gluttonous–our cup runneth o'er, indeed.

Trump at UNGA: “During the campaign, they had a hat. The best-selling hat, ‘Trump Was Right About Everything.’ And I don’t say that in a braggadocious way, but it’s true.”

THIS CANNOT BE REAL LIFE. Maybe the Rapture happened at 12:01 this morning and we're all dead and this is Hell and this is eternity now.

Too bad there isn't a Rule 8 for social media posts so a judge could dismiss this sua sponte and force him to refile it.
