i have no idea whether talarico can beat paxton if paxton wins tonight, but i know paxton can’t raise the same kind of money for the party that cornyn does and holding that seat if cornyn loses it is going to be nightmarishly expensive for the party, which is to say, i hope cornyn loses

"let them eat UFC spectacle" might not have quite the same ring as "let them eat cake" but I think the message will come across pretty well anyway

OKC is so easy to root against

A wide range of housing types benefits a wide range of people and circumstances!

good morning, West Coasters! the essay about cuck porn is good and the essay about Miller Lite is bad, if you’re just joining us

TULSI GABBARD RESIGNS - REPORTS

my take has been that she ran a B+/A- campaign in a year when she needed to swing for the fences for an A+ campaign even if it might have run the risk of a worse outcome it's very clear she drove the margins down in precisely the swing states where her campaign paid for its messaging to be heard

"Eating Brunch with friends" depraved levels of decadence. Basically genocide. "Eating a Chipotle burrito alone after paying a $10 markup to have it brought to you by courier" the actions of a hero of the coming working-class revolution.

will he hit -25 by June?

Can Castle cut his turnovers down to a modest 500 a game?

We’re just normal men

The 2026 Thunder have to be on the top 5 list of most un-fun elite basketball teams of all time

Chet screaming after he dunked on Luke Kornet is very funny. It’s like a kid suddenly starting to act tough and bullying his little brother as soon as his parents leave for dinner

This is literally Trump rn with his ballroom and ppl think its him twirling his mustache about some evil plan to hole up in a bunker instead of the much more likely story that we're watching a presidents brain decompose in real time.

I am noting that some of the normal voices are having a doom about nonpartisan statewides and my god do you people ever leave bed? The world must be utterly terrifying.

lol of course Boots Riley's new movie is about how great shoplifting is and how it can start a revolution, following on from the great online leftist tradition that petty crime is awesome and good.

Two competing truths: -Democrats are often disappointing, and should be criticized when they are -Posting withering rage about the uselessness of Democrats is an extremely reliable way to get big engagement, and many people have spent years waking up every day and finding a Dem to be mad about

it’s pretty remarkable how the people like Hamilton pushing the narrative supporting the LIRR strike purposefully avoid actually discussing the details of the strike because it’s so unreasonable. also, fun fact, the worker he cites in his article made $182K

I think unions that do this cease to get the protection of Democratic loyalty, and should be punished until they learn what side they should be on.

Presumably falls within scope of immunity of Trump v US but would be a good test case to pull it back.

it is essentially insane to believe that voting is a favor i am doing for a person

Every account becomes the same account (and then spends all their time jerking each other off).

sorry, man, if a politician talks to you like this in your role as a journalist, and you do nothing but sit and grin at it in response, what, exactly, do you think the public should think of you. why should anyone else care what trump says about you when you don’t appear to be bothered by it

Has there been a ratio like this before on Bluesky?!

I think calling yourself a physician if you've never held a license or completed a residency is a little odd, ngl. I think that does push the line some?

Internet: I just want to see Dems *try*, even if they fail I’ll give them credit for the attempt Dems: *try, fail* Internet: The fact that they failed is actually evidence that the attempt was fake and they never wanted to succeed in the first place

Yikes

What the fuck is wrong with posters here

I remain unconvinced that this is anything bigger than the post-truth presidency’s tactics coming back to haunt them

rambling, loss of inhibition, increasingly prone to confusion late in the day, it’s probably nothing to worry about

grandpa has really lost the juice “dumbocrats” is maybe the world’s saddest nickname

I’m actually encouraged by not as many doomers in the replies but still way too many people think he can just do the crazy shit he posts, do you know how many people it would require to pull this off lol

1. developers want to lease/sell apartments. they want cash flow. the idea that they benefit from keeping them empty is a weird myth 2. people always overstate vacancies. I guarantee you that 95% are not empty 3. it looks like these new apartments are pretty affordable! Under $2K for a 2 bed!

Funny how 'Democrats' are always just a empty signifier for "the ppl I dont like online" for so many terminally online ppl across the political spectrum

That local had some HANDS

I'm not gonna lie...this particular "Shot / Chaser" example is something that makes my eye twitch.

lmao this is some grade a excellent ratfucking and they should 100% do it.

As I was saying earlier, we can be furious at Callais & SCOVA on principle whole also recognizing that theyre basically trying to help Ra mop up an entire ocean at this point

One thing I will say that it may behoove some of you to wait more than 10 minutes after a think happens to conclude Dems won’t do anything and we’re doomed

Again, despite ppls fears/hopes, Fettermans a troll but an otherwise a mostly standard D voter in the senate. Goes to show how warped the social media era has made ppls understanding of politics that "look at how he votes" is given less consideration than "look at how he acts in front of a camera"

As a Democrat I think its unironically great that the guy Trump put in charge of the FBI is an irresponsible drunk who just wants to be a celebrity and doesn't actually give a fuck about persecuting enemies. That's been great for us, actually

That is one of the most obviously not written by Trump posts ever, good lord they can’t even do that right

This is, frankly, one of the reasons I love Bluesky. You get the insane takes like this immediately in the comment feed instead of having to scroll past 53 racist blue check replies

Trump was supposed to have an on camera event with the president of Brazil at 11:15am today. It is now nearly 2pm. The president of Brazil is at the White House. But nobody knows what's going on.

something to be said about how economic illiteracy serves as an excuse to engage in antisocial behavior

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

Steyer has the juice

People will still be passing around this falsehood as gospel truth when I'm on my deathbed
