Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

Take the time. Let it work on you. The payoff is amazing.

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

TCW, but only because Alan Dershowitz is busy sexualizing an underage pierogi.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, is it your caucus’s position that Renee Good and Alex Pretti died for *this*? Or are you Dems falling back on proceduralism again to avoid taking the risk of speaking with moral outrage to the urgency of the moment?

Excited for Bovino and his new office.

Is it really really evil of me that I want Bovino’s replacement to be a black woman?

They are murdering the best among us.

Ursula K. Le Guin died #OTD in 2018. First female author to win both the Nebula & Hugo awards for Best Novel for 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 (1970). In total, she won 8 Hugo & 6 Nebula awards. Second woman Grand Master of the #ScienceFiction & Fantasy Writers of America. #scifi #literature #booksky

Waking up to the fact that there are a whole lot of our fellow citizens who have just completely opted out of common decency. And now they have uniforms. And badges. Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

Share a cancelled tv show you'll never stop thinking about...🖤

I’m old enough to remember when tech didn’t have to guilt us into using their products.

And it's a failure of historical understanding, as well, because—and this is essential—the United States HAS ALWAYS existed in the space of contestation between "full democracy" and "full dictatorship." Always. Forever. Since day one.

i think, however, this is a crystal clear example that the next cold war is actually democracy vs autocracy and the battle lines run right through every single advanced democracy. there aren't really any safe harbors.

Cuck Schumer

The ICE murderer got an owie you guys

Slightly diminish a game Elden Torc

This is what Trump’s storm troopers think of you.

Hey Bluesky, let’s find this murderer. Let’s make sure he never knows a day of peace again in his miserable life. He should know that innocent blood cries out from the soil for vengeance.

It will be the floor when we want it to be.

We don't have to live like this.

This is so fucking grim

Not impeaching this president is an impeachable offense. Blocking articles of impeachment for this president is an impeachable offense. Not voting to remove this president is an impeachable offense. Ruling in favor of or voting for this president's policies is an impeachable offense.

“hey, you’re not my usual nurse!”

You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

Surely this…

No cheating. Reskeet with the most recent picture of your pet.

Me, enthroned on this seat, clad in white linen and a straw boater hat. It is January. My children grovel at my feet, complaining of cold. I flick my wrist (flush, perspiring) to dismiss them with an insouciant, “Put on a sweater.”

HAPPY NEW YEAR! EACH DAY BRINGS US CLOSER TO THE TYRANT'S FALL.

Walking into 2026 like:

Chills, you guys. We need to protect this man.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani, y’all.

This is fantastic.

This is superb. Maybe it’s because I read it alongside Samuel Delany’s Dhalgren; I’m feeling the odd parallels and disjunctions of this moment with the urban decay of the ‘70s. Buildings are not on fire & infrastructure isn’t failing. But we’re living through the same kind of terrifying fever dream.

This is the journalistic equivalent of a brick through a store window.

This is really interesting.

The answer might just be harvesting tech bros for protein, though.

Here’s the thing though: now that these sociopaths have gone all-in on stripping civil society for parts, they’ll have no say in what we build next.

Can’t wait to see Justice Roberts claim this as another executive power intended by the Founders.

I'm going to tell my favorite story again about reflecting the certainty of beliefs back at people who don't expect it. A friend was one of the few Jews on faculty at a North Dakota University. Every year, his colleague in religious studies would invite him to come to his religious studies class...

There is something seriously wrong with these people

Just letting the universe know that, if I were to get 1/100th of Mark Cuban’s net worth, it would not turn me into a thin-skinned little bitch.

Psst @mattyglesias.bsky.social I got your Christmas present right here, buddy.

Matty’s entire Bluesky experience is basically the coyote snickering as he presses the Acme plunger, while the roadrunner has put the dynamite under his ass.

How come when the children put a hat on Frosty and he comes to life it’s cute and kitschy, but when I write “emet” on this lump of clay and it comes to life suddenly I’m “bringing destruction on the whole village” and I have to “make it stop??”

It is blowing my fucking mind that the same generation that howled about declining standards, celebrities setting bad examples, and the decay of civility has decided to go out with this reeking turd as its public face.

This is getting lost: For weeks Trump officials had the option to remove Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica, but refused to do so. Instead they kept trying to send him somewhere more dangerous. Costa Rica wasn't cruel and dehumanizing enough. This is deeply sick conduct. newrepublic.com/article/2043...
