I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery

This is the crack team, etc.?

This is Peanut. His name isn't Peanut because he's small. It's because he is a lethal threat to a significant portion of the population. Still 13/10 (IG: peanut_tacoterrier)

day 2 of posting margot photos from the archives until morale improves

I differ from the bikers' opinion on exactly what needs to be done here but god knows SOMETHING needs to be done, let's goooooo.

Thom Tillis is welcome to caucus with Senate Democrats & give control of Congress to the only party that does not endorse the Jan 6 coup & the far right authoritarian presidency currently in power. Talk is cheap, & the hour is late. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Amazing to live in a country where every day you can watch Republicans gin up issue salience out of nothing but attitude and 4chan posts and a sizeable chunk of people think Democrats' only power is to vote yes or no on bills placed in front of them

I know this feels impossible now, but I swear, on January 6 itself, there was a pretty broad bipartisan consensus that storming the Capitol to find and kill lawmakers was bad, and that Trump was responsible for inciting his followers to try it

It's Epiphany, which means it's time for Cuddling Kings in Medieval art

Yeah, yeah, not good practice in terms journalistic norms or whatever, but more to the point—that’s just fucking embarrassing.

finally some fucking diplomacy

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

Got paid AND his job back, lmao. Keep fighting these dweebs

Thanks to @brianleiter.bsky.social, we can read an excerpt from Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson's initial letter to his department head, Kristi Sweet, as well as his syllabus. leiterreports.com/2026/01/06/t...

If we consider September 15, 1967 (aka the airdate of "Amok Time"), as the birth of the modern public interest of Western women in m/m romance, we are now sixty-eight years into the era! It's older than most people working in Hollywood!

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

I'm currently idly skimming through the Black Book of Edward IV, which is a collection of household ordinances. TIL that "demerits" can also mean "merit" or, neutrally, "value."

If it's such a great treasure, why are both Miller and Rubio treating Venezuela like a steaming hot potato?

extorting a peace prize by the barrel of a gunship. wow.

Five years ago.

Launched my entire, now extensive, lower-back-pain career by turning slightly to look up the subway tunnel for the train.

three bylines, six months late, almost zero new information we hadn't reported months ago. lowercased our name and mentioned deep in the story. no link to us. said they couldnt find the govt privacy document (we did). good job wall street journal

There are many flavors of atheism and I’m not going to argue that all of them require that you scoff in the face of timor mortis, but the Scott Adams kind certainly does. Pathetic little coward.

Lot of bad feeling out there today but remember we accomplished this despite the opposition of the governor and it’s working well!

IMO the argument is that you can make things into big enough deals that it matters. Khanna found Massey and found survivors and made the Epstein Files the gigantic story it should be. Only then did establishment Dems come along. You can, in fact, make things into big hairy deals if you do it right.

i really, really don’t want people to miss that a reporter asked HHS for on the record comment regarding these changes to the vaccine recs, and HHS told them no

I promise you, you'll never guess which "politics" they're referring to

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

He that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation, Scott.

and to many who don't!

If the biggest donor to the DCCC/DNC ran a website where you could use AI to take women's clothes off I feel like there'd be a demand for Dems to give the money back.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

not beating the allegations that antivax beliefs are downstream of being afwaid of needles

this is small comfort given he has state power and i don’t but i am struck by what an obviously weak and fragile man miller is. a blubbering piss baby whose entire affect and personality is an attempt to make up for his profound feelings of inadequacy

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

This is Ollie. He found a perfectly placed carrot snack on his walk. Simply can't believe his luck. 13/10 best day ever (TT: maxime_aries)

A word!

The world right now

TIL I learned that one of the early variant spellings of "henchman" was "henxman," which frankly seems far sillier.

Damn, did they grease Lamar Jackson up before that play???

Calling public benefits “entitlements” is just the most contemptible right-wing trash.

This is just fucking embarrassing.

Lucy’s New Year’s resolution: eat more spaghetti

elon musk doesn’t think female presenting people deserve to be on the internet, so he built a harrassment power tool. simple as that. continuing to use his harrassment machine is an endorsement if his views on women

A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

If you listen closely, in the background at 0:13 you can hear "A minorrrrrrrrrrr....."
