As far as "books for kids" go I do sometimes wonder if the existence of a YA shelf robs young folks of the joys of early unsupervised exposure to the ranting of depraved communists and libertarian sex-weirdos in the SFF section, an important inoculation when it doesn't destroy 3-10 years of yr life

Antisemites citing the Talmud as "evidence" of what Jews believe is always funny because it's roughly equivalent to printing out a decade of Bluesky posts and going "this is what autistic people believe"

Beshear on McConnell: "I'm concerned. I get that we all have a right to privacy for our health, but when you run for an office like mine or Sen. McConnell's you answer to the voters. If you're in the hospital for an entire month, you owe it to the people who elected you to give them an update."

Unironically, America needs a Honey Huan:

In case you haven't seen this today.

Troll Claim: Hakeem Jeffries did bare minimum (or nothing) other than "strongly worded letters" Anyone who has been tuning in knows that is disinformation and troll fuckery that inures to the benefit of Republicans and other detractors (like DSA) Rebuttal:

The heat has a chance to do the funniest thing

States who think Trumps Freedom 250 is. 💩 Oregon, Washington, Massachusetts, Illinois, Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, and North Carolina

Are they finally child-proofing the White House?

Trump said the repairs would cost $1.8 million. It ended up costing $14 million. The company doing the repairs got a no-bid contract that baked in a 20% profit margin. The typical federal construction contract profit margin is 6% to 12%. Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

Spurs strategy of hitting all the shots in the first half and hitting none of the shots in the second half being tested

Look, I’m sorry but I just can’t believe the Knicks came all the way back. And I bet a lot of my fellow basketball fans feel similarly. This calls into question the legitimacy of their Game Four win.

Everyone on this plane to JFK is friends now. Knicks in five.

I think this is what NYC must have felt like during the events seen in the documentary Ghostbusters

knicks just sent ted cruz tickets to game five

Every baby born in NYC tonight is gonna be named OG Anunoby

mamdani put that game on bus stop tvs and wu tang clan did halftime and it was like saging the entire city of new york

Think about it. The Spurs had a big lead, and then at the end the Knicks scored a bunch and the Spurs didn’t! It’s diabolical, and we need to look into it.

Spurs had it won and then somebody "found" a whole bunch of Knicks points in the middle of the night.

Again, Bill Pulte is a 38-year-old -- no really, 38 -- who only holds a BA in broadcast journalism and absolutely zero experience in the intelligence field. He has no qualifications for this job at all. Aside from being a psychotic lickspittle to the president.

Republicans say James Talarico ordered a vegan taco. Democrats say that it wasn't vegan because it had both egg and cheese—doubling down on the cultural elitism that has cost them so dearly in recent elections.

It's crazy how we have both the World Cup and America 250 this year, and almost no one cares about them because this regime has wholly sucked the joy out of even momentous national events.

The right wing freakout about The Odyssey is kind of amazing. Now they're all mad that Odysseus doesn't go snorkeling off a yacht.

@clapifyoulikeme.favrd.social Had to share this one :-> x.com/FrumTikTok/s...

All of these estimates presume the least favorable ancillary expenses for Sen. Van Hollen. In all likelihood, the service/grat was closer to 25%, the bill wasn’t tax exempt, and the minimum menu price was even higher. tl;dr this wasn’t the gotcha Kash was hoping for.

These are actual Freedom Riders, now elderly, sitting together decades after risking their lives to challenge segregation in the American South. On May 4, 1961, they rode buses south to defy illegal segregation in terminal facilities.

@kenwhite.bsky.social I have a question about Contract law....

Tested with cognitive test three times...for obvious reasons.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Not only did Trump not say or do a damn decent thing about the murders of Mark and Former MN Speaker Melissa Hortman & the attempted murders of state Sen John & wofe Yvette Hoffman, US MN Sen Tina Smith had to haul UT Sen Mike Lee's ass into the Capitol hallway to stop him from *joking* about it.

Yes, the party of 3 AM Temper Tantrums on Social Media is the party of grownups.

The highlight of the shooting is all the press and influencers yoinking bottles of wine and champagne. Good on them for that.

Happy 80th Birthday to the legendary Tim Curry! 🖤

There it is: A full year of days spent playing golf in just over five years as president. www.pbump.net/outofoffice

Q: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? TRUMP: I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do Red Cross. Only the fake news could come up with that one.

This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job

What it all boils down to is whether we can get to Nuremberg this time without passing through Hiroshima and Auschwitz. It's really that simple.

It was a big day for sales at my "At Least Biden Didn't Gripe About A Friggin' Ballroom Every Goddamn Day" T-shirt shop.

"Stickles the Gender-Policing Elf, a character created exclusively for this series, to, in author J. K. Rowling’s words, 'address the crumbling morals of a world I haven’t really interacted with since 1997.'"

Mike Lindell was served with a lawsuit today while doing an interview at CPAC.

At least Hari Krishnas played music and sold bracelets.

The tour guides at Graceland have a chance to plant a very important seed by telling Trump that Elvis only became very famous and beloved because he died on the toilet.

Two weeks into the war that he started for reasons he can’t explain, the president of the United States is threatening to charge news outlets with treason for purportedly colluding with the enemy by producing coverage he dislikes. bsky.app/profile/atru...

"No, Sir, Judge Cannon can't order Japan and Australia to send warships."

*emerging from a tank I have driven through your homes* ok which one of you assholes is going to clean up this mess.
