Sometimes when I have to write young mom characters and figure out their age I have to think of my mom and remember: when I was 15 she was 33 wtf????

Hell yeah Catholicism baby!

Invite Mr. Met to my funeral.

pretty devastating dunk at the end of this paragraph

Trump literally saying that establishment Dems and current Dem leadership is preferable for their Administration because they're easier to beat and bad at politics. That's what he's telling everyone. Schumer and Jeffries are easy to beat at the ballot box so we like them better. WILD to say out loud

I love that Lush has left Meta and X and joined Bluesky!

One old trick in politics is to oppose something possible while calling for something impossible. Example: Here's Gavin Newsom leading the charge for a "national billionaires tax" while he and his paid goons work to kill a state billionaire tax. This allows him to be on both sides for 2028.

They have this image on the Freedom 250 website and I gotta ask... what the fuck is going on with the upper Midwest, man. I have never seen Michigan more horizontal. Where the hell is our UP? Are we ceding it to Canada? Is Wisconsin okay???

There is a very real argument being made in Hollywood that AI democratizes filmmaking, making it available to outsiders. In truth, the cost of effective generative AI is cost prohibitive to all but corporations, leading to no improvement in quality at the cost of jobs both above and below the line.

There are so many things in this city where you find out the last update was done in the Reagan era and like do the Democrats who’ve become the establishment want to do anything? Like remember when @awalkerinla.bsky.social found out the last Dodger Stadium traffic study was from 1991 lol?

Happy #PrideMonth! Enjoy a Tesla getting smashed by a light rail train with a pride flag.

There isn't a law proportional to this crime. The SEC does not imagine that the richest man on Earth would use his position to openly do a few dozen Enrons

In a real society, in a real country where laws were applied to everyone and consequences were a thing, saying "I will protect the pedophiles and crooks in this room from justice" would be the end of this guy's career and he'd be in jail

A new granite walkway. Refinishing the wall to glue those hideous gold accents. Trump claimed he was paying for all of it. He lied. They’ve been looting the National Parks.

This is kinda funny, because it sounds like the intelligence official themselves decided to answer a bunch of personal questions in a survey and voluntarily send it to the guy who's globally weaponizing this sort of information. Great job! Very secret, secret agent!

“US District Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered acting AG Todd Blanche to release unredacted versions of several Epstein files, or explain why DOJ should be allowed to keep them secret, as he sided w/investigative journo @katiephang.bsky.social, who had accused Blanche of violating the Epstein Files Act.”

21st century America is a multiracial democracy whose commerce, culture and cuisine reflect the influence of immigrants from every country on earth. The only people seemingly unable to assimilate into this society are white Republicans.

If you are wealthy, I think you should spend more money on clothes. There's no pride in buying clothes for the lowest possible price, as this puts downward pressure on garment worker wages and increases the likelihood of exploitation.

Pushing back against the voters is the most DNC shit ever

Mary’s correct and she should say so

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

When I was on Twitter I was like wow I am smarter than a lot of people, and being on Bluesky is like jesus christ when did I apply for this fucking PhD program??

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

This is subtle but important: according to the Supreme Court you literally HAVE TO ask for a lawyer in words. if you sit staring at the wall or ask "do i need a lawyer?" the cops can keep talking to you and trying to get you to respond for hours but if you *ask* for a lawyer they can not.

In America, they put out emergency bulletins to arrest kids who put their hands in the supreme leader’s reflecting pool

Missed this gem of a line from the England match a few days ago. “England historically has struggled here in Massachusetts”. — WorldCup announcer on Fox earlier today

Lost and Found in the Cathedral of Cinema is the new book by Jeffrey Overstreet, whose writing on cinema and spirituality was a revelation to me. Reading it is like watching a beautiful film that unreels like a dream. I wrote the foreword. All copies signed by both of us. mzs.press/SIGNED-Lost-...

As a Californian, this shit always gets me, because every elected Republican claims California is a hellhole, but then it's the only place they want to vacation.

Sometimes I think about what it would be like if the number of supreme court justices who are in a cult was zero. Because the number right now ranges from 1–6, depending on the elastic definitions of a cult. ACB most obviously in a cult. Alito and Thomas mainline fringe cult theories. The others...

I will yeet Peppa from my child's life so fast if they pull this ai shit.

bitch you can't be serious the fragility and pettiness of these people, who aren't content just to strip away people's rights they want to pretend they're Good and Just Doing Law, too, and are deeply offended when people acknowledge otherwise

lol does this article really not mention that Clarence Thomas was in house counsel for Monsanto, the Roundup manufacturer?

Dems have to run on this hard. Do not let the RFK types try to spin what his own party just signed off on here. Actual Monsanto, the comic book villain of Adbusters days, was shielded from liability over poisoning Americans. I don't care if it's slopulism: this Supreme Court wants you dead.

They found Popeyes. 😭

Why do voters back far-left candidates, even they disagree with them on particular policies? Because they trust them more. This research is crucial to understand the New York primary election. insights.som.yale.edu/insights/why...

everyone on this website is either a lawyer, a trans woman with a literary magazine or a 58 year old retiree who was banned from facebook for trying to kill the Republican mayor of her town of 1,000 people

Y’all - instructions from Democracy Docket - how to comment on a really bad proposed USPS regulation restricting delivery of mail-in ballots. Right here ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

She looks like one of those Extreme Embalming corpses that attends their own funerals.

imagining a grizzled hardboiled detective saying this while gripping some guy's lapels at a shady bar

It’s funny because Mamdani gets treated as an obvious terrorist sleeper cell while open allies of this guy and his movement get “my good friends across the aisle”

Every day Sean Duffy doesn’t have to preside over a mass casualty event in the skies thanks to his mismanagement of the transportation department, the odds get better that he will have to

Important to note that fans did not let up in pressuring the team to do this. It did not happen in a vacuum. Still, credit where credit is due. This is the right ethical move, and also in alignment with their fanbase.

I do find it funny that Bluesky keeps labeling HuffPost as spam.

I know nothing about UK politics, but couldn't any of the left parties simply propose rejoining the EU at any time and put it to a vote?

Boots Riley has been trying to tell ppl this for a minute.

HEY CHICAGO! The city wants to sell your parking meter company to the same private-equity firm that owns Omni Air International, the worst of the worst of ICE's charter airlines. The city council's finance committee is meeting about it TOMORROW. 1/
