This one hits hard.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Here are 3 minutes from Yes, Prime Minister, a BBC sitcom from 1986, that I would show to every single Congressional Democrat if I could

I need to have a word with Sam Ezersky at the @nytimes.com #SpellingBee

Aw shit!

Agree 100%. It’s total fucking bullshit that they won’t let me play in the NBA. Enough with this gatekeeping nonsense.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

If it helps, I’m almost 50 and Obama was the best President in my lifetime as well. Presidents I remember: Reagan Bush 41 Clinton Bush 43 Obama Trump Biden Trump 2.0 I hate to say it, but Obama is at the top of that list.

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN. "Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

I fucking hate 2-factor authentication. Just let me log in! Why do we even have passwords if you won't accept my password? My phone is in another room and I don't want to get up and go get it! I have my password, let me in!!

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will skip the signing of US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” in Davos after Switzerland confirmed it would enforce the ICC arrest warrant over war crimes in Gaza.

This. A thousand times this. It is still amazing that people who have built an entire movement on the fantasy that liberals were coming to take their guns so that they would be powerless against the government are all in on government agents murdering citizens.

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

I only discovered this a week ago and have watched it 900 times a day since then. You're welcome. youtu.be/j33fp5ekAJs?...

It’s perfectly fine to not have a deep understanding of A or B but then, the sensible posture is not to comment on A or B publicly

This is, and I promise I am not being hyperbolic, the dumbest fucking idea I’ve ever heard.

Holy shit will one anodyne opinion get you dogpiled around here. I literally do not care, leave me alone.

Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody. An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead." 🙏🏼 @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

"Short Stack" lol. "Oh you're a little guy too" 😭

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

a government agent, who murdered a civilian for peacefully protesting, flying a dont-tread-on-me flag is such a perfect distillation of the maga ethos it almost feels fake

This is what I think of when I recognize that the lies Tricia McLaughlin, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, JD Vance, and Trump all told about Renee Good's killing are INCONSISTENT. They're not just inconsistent with the video. They're inconsistent with each other.

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

For those wondering what Mamdani's quote, "For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty," was in reference to...

The Shield had the best ending of any show.

The fatal flaw of this kind of messaging is hanging standard Republican policy for the past century on Trump instead of the entire Republican Party. No Republican believes in free and fair elections. If Democrats want to win, that needs to be their message. The entire GOP is anti-American.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Reagan, 1981: “In the present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” Clinton, 1996: “I say again, the era of big government is over. But we cannot go back to the era of fending for yourself.” Mamdani, 2026:

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.
