I see.

Meanwhile, Josh Barro who gets paid to be a political commentator despite being wrong 70% of the time:

American journalism and the American legal establishment are very similar actually; both demand all the rewards and accolades of fulfilling an important role in society while violently rejecting any of the obligations. Both defined by fawning sycophancy that they've defined as courage.

Liz vs. Jo-Ellen on this week's RHORI is one for the history books.

Happy Pride 🌈

Truly el oh el

one thing these exchanges capture perfectly is that the people in charge have absolutely no idea the type of people that top-tier investigative journalists are

I find it moving that Lynch's legacy in the queer community is now forever tied to the phrase "fix your hearts or die". It has become a rallying cry. It is bigger than him. It is bigger than Twin Peaks. It is beautiful.

Platner discourse is the only time I've felt like Bluesky's critics are correct. A lot of people have whinged and worried themselves into believing "Platner is Fetterman 2.0" despite the fact that they have little in common other than aesthetic. I have great news: you're being extremely paranoid!

we need to normalize the idea that while we should always seek to make voting easier and more accessible, that DOES NOT mean we should encourage absolutely everyone to vote

Sometimes a text is so rich that it feels overwhelming to read.

Trump crowned Bret Michaels the winner of Celebrity Apprentice (over a very worthy competitor) right after Michaels almost died of a stroke, so for him to pull out REALLY speaks to how little juice is left in the tank here.

Called this back in October

One of the only things I like about Newsom politically is that he's a bruiser. We need every Dem office holder in the country to have this energy rn.

"I hate him in ways I will never quite loathe the familiar corruption of Paxton" is a hit dog hollering. They know Talarico makes them look like the terrible people they are and it burns them up that he's going to get a big, national stage to demonstrate that again and again.

I've been struck by how much of the discourse about Platner here feels totally insular to BlueSky and detached from the experience and feelings of actual Maine voters, especially non-white voters for whom many BS posters have been speaking on behalf of. This piece is an excellent antidote to that.

I have heard well-meaning people defend Polis' actions on criminal justice reform grounds and I really cannot stress enough that that is not what this is about. Serious minded people making decisions based on fairness do not behave like this.

How any interaction with a Fox News interviewer should begin and end.

Has either side of the RHORI fight released Slam Pig merch yet?

There is something so so dark about an Atlantic columnist saying the phrase "the [antidote] to the decadence of a professional class..." Like how much self-hatred is one marinating in every day for them to tweet that one out?

Summiting K2 three times is INSANE divaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

You are not a real gay guy if you don't remember the bonus scene on the Survivor: The Australian Outback clip show where Jerri sings "Criminal" by Fiona Apple around the campfire one night and Tina says that she did great and "that's such a hard song to sing."

I love that Trump's #1 governing priority has become "turn the White House into an opulent fortress that they can't make me leave"

Instead of giving him money from the Trump slush fund they should just seize all of Kristi Noem's assets and hand them over.

c ya later, you giant dumbass 👋

when I'm at the club yeah I'm bumpin' that when I'm at the house yeah I'm bumpin' that 3-6-5 party girl should we do a little key, should we have a little line?

I wonder what I meant by this?

I was reminded yesterday when I filled out my ballot in Oregon that I un-registered as a Democrat last year specifically because I don't want to be associated with a political party that continues to collaborate openly with fascists.

Hell is empty and the demons walk among us.

so sorry you're tweeting "this candidate for Governor made a huge misstep.....they didn't know about ME and MY career" and that is supposed to be embarrassing for Steyer?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bill L'Europa was seen

I’ve never really been an Our Tax Dollars guy but all the blatant corruption, ballroom, slush fund for rioting pedophiles etc is really throwing me into a permanent state of rage and bloodlust. Something’s gotta give

Dems really need to internalize that there is no way for them to pitch the idea that America actually is a country of fairness and law without this being aggressively punished. Garnish their wages to claw back the money if necessary. Start a "Trump's Welfare Queens" website to name and shame.

Lmao I hope all the big pubs are paying attention. Fucking dopes selling out their 100 year old brands for the Anti American Pedo President. Gonna be out of work soon enough.

Just absolutely shredding public trust in a pointless attempt to appease a madman. I hope Polis never lives this down.

Excellent statesmanship, sir.

I love that Trump is nakedly compromised by multiple foreign leaders + powerful interests and everyone just rolls with it like it's not a massive national security scandal. To pull out an old adage: But her emails!!

lmao sorry they still have not even started filming this fucking movie?????

If you are on the left and spend any amount of time in your day arguing about Will Stancil on bluesky, I just want to tell you that some people have war in their countries.

Maybe we've been too hard on looksmaxxing...

Every day of being alive in the 2020s has felt like the scene from Melancholia where Charlotte Gainsbourg is up late reading a conspiracy theory website page titled "Earth and Melancholia: Dance of Death"
