Bravo to the city of Portland for banning gas-powered leaf blowers during every season except <checks notes> Fall

I need to opt out of learning new things about Olivia Nuzzi immediately

You can think it’s good that Massie and MTG are stirring up shit within the GOP caucus without thinking their politics in general is good. It’s not hard at all in fact?

yeah maybe you should have done more than allow a genocide, refuse to end a genocide, and allow shit like this. sorry, it's too late for you, there's already a spot reserved in hell.

Ukrainian obsessives who also support Israel are so weird to me

I genuinely can't get over them taking this course after watching Tuesday's results. They hate winning

My red line has always been lowering health costs for Americans. Donald Trump and Republicans don’t want an agreement that meets that bar. I’m a no.

I will not only blame the Senate Democrats who are caving. I will blame them all. They needed to keep their ranks in order. If this happens, it's the most spineless political retreat imaginable and it will harm millions upon millions of Americans. Chickenshit, self-neutering nonsense. Cowards.

yes senator they're roasting you on Bluesky, sir yes full roast sir, the communists, the wine moms, Bill Kristol, they're all roasting you, sir no, sir, I haven't seen him in Waiting for Godot, but he's roasting you, too, sir

This one goes out to Alan music.youtube.com/watch?v=x0Sq...

LETS GO ALAN

“We won because we insisted that politics is no longer something that is done to us. Now it is something we do.” Every single word of this Mamdani speech is fucking fire.

I think people should maybe reflect on the fact that Zohran had a ten point lead for basically the entire GE campaign and will win by...ten points. Nothing fundamentally changed except for the opposition vote consolidating. Everything else was smoke and mirrors, media hype and spin.

"Mamdani-style politics" is just being good at it, which to Third Way-types is alien and horrifying

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people

I will support any New York mayoral candidate who admits bodegas are just convenience stores and everywhere in the world has them

It’s new job day

Is “calling for a louvre post” the new “slowly shrinking into a corncob”

“But Erin you Americans deserve it you have done so many bad things in the world” Bitch the only reason I’m an American is because my family had to flee your monsters, who had been massacring us for generations, and none of your countries would take us in.

I guess one positive thing I can say for the Trump administration and Roberts Court is that they’ve broken my constitution addiction Time to say it loud, we don’t need another president

also for as much as the dems & libs screech about fascism, they reeeeally oughta know their declared enemies & what to sniff out to avoid infiltrators — LIKE THE REST OF US HAVE

I would rather watch a fragment of underdone potato for two hours

Me, as gigachad music plays: actually I think Nazis and people who adopt their iconography are bad unconditionally

"Oh so there's no path to redemption?" Sure there is. Most paths to redemption don't run through the U.S. Senate, though. Go, live a good life. Farm oysters. Diminish and go into the East and be an always improving Graham Platner. Do not be a Senator. And remove that fucking tat.

Yall didn’t say a word when Nixon built a bowling alley smh

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

I saw exactly one person wearing a press vest at the downtown Portland event. He was following close behind two (2) counter protestors walking across the Hawthorne Bridge with the crowd. They were entirely unaccosted. No one yelled at them (except me, honestly) let alone threatened them.

Lots of people dodging this question, unsurprisingly, but I'll step up: AI has been amazing, like game-changingly amazing, at introducing inexplicable errors into my research. I have also used it to make my writing more stilted and boring. And guess what? It's only getting better at all that.

lol pundits will NEVER learn

Oh look, it’s literally what the anti-DoE homeschool freaks are looking for

great to know that literal gas chamber jokes are legal now after all those pro-palestinian student protesters got fucking deported for simply saying israel is a “jewish state”

Science cannot explain John Cena’s upper lip

So it’ll be part “who gives a shit” and part “so what”

dante was the first guy to post through it

hey yall been a bit hope things are going well I deleted the app for TSA purposes and then forgot lol

Good morning, fuck Ezra Klein

Fireworks everywhere like what

Given my demographic, if you know me and you are at the Hazel reunion show rn please call out and I’ll come find you

isn't being a kennedy suppose to kill you, isn't that their whole deal is that they die

israel is a colonial state carrying out a genocide and anyone supporting it is the moral equivalent of a nazi in 1940

if there were a higher level of wanting ICE to go fuck itself to reach, this would cause me to reach it. I regret only that my loathing has a maximum, and aspire to loathe more infinitely tomorrow.

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

If Bluesky isn’t structurally, mechanically, far superior to every other social media site how do you explain that Ricky Gervais is here but I don’t see his posts unless I intentionally seek them out

backing into parking spots is prey animal behavior coded

@ihavethatonvinyl.com it seems like you might either know the answer to this or also be curious. As I was putting Peter Gabriel’s So on the turntable, I wondered when the trend started to switch from “record company standard center circle” to “fits the album cover font/color/style center circle”

We saw you from across the honky tonk and really liked the jingle of your spurs, would you care to join us for a sasparilla

going to go out on a limb and imagine this guy's not actually very good at conversations

society went badly wrong when we stopped bullying nerds

The only thing that keeps this from being a literal perfect album is that Suite: Judy Blue Eyes isn’t on it.
