CHOTINER: And you didn’t know this person - what did you call him again? CELEBRIMBOR GREATEST OF THE ELVEN SMITHS: Right, his name was Annatar but CHOTINER: And you taught him to create a ring harnessing all his malice and cruelty? CELEBRIMBOR: Well I mean I was deceived CHOTINER: So you’ve said

it is my opinion that the Allies in World War II were the good guys and I am glad that they won

FDR was doing illegal (laudatory) shit to help the Republicans in Spain! Dude was a real one!

Geez, looking like it’s good timing for YouTube to have been recommending all those James Holland videos to me huh

Well done, @thirdrailsc.bsky.social

Now this is Elder Millennial nostalgia I can get behind

Thoughts: I have no sympathy for this man who more than anyone is why we are in this mess. But we need to rally to his defense Trump being very, very obvious that this is retribution likely fatally undermining the case. Bringing charges is very different from getting a conviction.

That's the right answer. Seat 4.

Marty Baron, the former WaPo editor, told NPR’s Fresh Air today that Jeff Bezos shifted the paper’s opinion page policy and made other moves because he was “afraid” of Trump. What’s the point of being a billionaire if you are afraid? It’s pathetic.

Where have I heard that before

Superb essay by @jamellebouie.net on how the hyped-up unitary executive theory is built on a distorted conception of the President’s superior democratic legitimacy, and why it’s extreme application would fundamentally upend our constitutional order. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

Found a Civil War bullet that says “states’ rights” on it. So that’s settled now.

Related to that, what's the deal with the folks who say that you should have your jeans over your cowboy boots? I'm a born-and-bred Yankee, but isn't the whole point of boots to protect your pant legs as you do hard work?

Kirk literally said Biden should be executed.

Kash Patel: "THE TRUTH"

i don't think bluesky is my preferred platform of choice to debate what role america should play in the post-trump world order's international community. that's a subject i will not speak on outside the specific context of A Bar's Patio After Seven Beers

The European leagues should consider an MLB-style luxury tax:

DALLAS (AP) — Homeland Security spokesperson says ICE detainees were among those shot in Dallas attack; no agents injured.

Not sure if it’s the place of the Treasury Secretary to say if we’re going to honor our obligations under NATO but 🤷🏻‍♂️

And if there's one thing that Trump has told us again and again, it's that he knows about dealing with backups

i want to live in the universe where trump makes a gigantic fucking federal issue out of the escalator situation and it blows up in his face and is the actual beginning of the end for him, just because of how narratively satisfying that would be on a fundamental level

The 3 victims were ICE detainees not ICE agents.

this is actually an important lesson even if you dgaf about kimmel. take the win!

the lesson of the kimmel thing is that a corporation that previously caved to trump was forced by its audience to defy him. they're afraid of him but they're more afraid of you.

Cmon no sinking ship jokes?

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

Hello Streisand Effect

What’s happening: Napoleon is master of Europe. Go deeper: Only the British Fleet stands before him.

Sounds silly to say Jimmy Kimmel’s TV show was an important fight to have, and a significant victory, but it’s true. The regime’s resources are limited. Make things harder for them anywhere they push. They’re pretending they have more power than they do. Symbolic losses like this undermine that.

Trump would be the charismatic carny from that one episode of Community

KIMMEL, on the Pentagon’s new reporting “pledge”: “.. They want to pick what the ‘news’ is. I know it’s not as interesting as muzzling a comedian, .. but it’s nuts that we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

we’re getting some great memes out of last night’s brainfuck* at least #LFC *cheers, Kloppo

Amazing memes, #LFC folks. Keep it up

Kimmel is up on YouTube

Keep these memes coming, folks #LFC

everyone else in the admin over the last couple days: what are you talking about, there was no attempted government censorship, stop fearmongering trump: I’m gonna sue them for putting kimmel back on the air

not even a full day and I’m already getting my money‘s worth here

It's honestly insane how many people fail to understand that the new Cold War is an authoritarian internationale that freely and openly aligns itself across national borders so the retreating from the international stage is just never going to be an option

I'm being negatively polarized towards Kristolism. Let's give democracy to everyone!

You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation

New WTF pic dropped

Why are we doing this?

More of this please! Autistic people are our brothers and sisters, the goal is to make it a world where they can thrive not one where they are "cured" somehow.

Quite a day for the "policy made by the person I spoke with last" Doctrine

I keep updating the Guardian's Carabao Cup Liveblog and getting my hopes up for a brief second when I see "Goal - Gomez" flash onto the screen. One day, Joe. One day. #LFC

Hard to express to those not in the weeds just how much the current state of the immigration detention system is just utter chaos.

Ooh, #LFC got the Rio-Leo Connection going today

Not that it's the most important thing here but I'll be damned, he did actually write a Star Wars book
