Since 2000, political donations from the richest 100 Americans have increased nearly 140x. They collectively spent over $1B in 2024, amounting to 1 in every 13 dollars spent during the election. Is it any wonder why so many regular people feel like they no longer have a voice?

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

Who remembers those early Palantir trades

US Congress voted 285–98 to condemn "socialism." 88 Democrats joined Republicans, including Hakeem Jeffries. What they mean by socialism is your access to healthcare, housing, safety regulations, and anything that benefits you instead of the oligarchy. There has been no vote to condemn fascism. #3E

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s 2025 season was incredible: Made 1st All-Star Game NL ranks: .183 BAA (1st), 2.49 ERA (2nd), 201 Ks (T-7th) Finished 3rd in NL Cy Young voting Won 3 games in World Series Recorded final 8 outs in Game 7 Named World Series MVP and helped Dodgers win back-to-back World Series

@newrockstars.bsky.social did a great breakdown on The Hunt for Ben Solo and how this leak could all be part of a larger drama regarding Bob Iger's future succession. #StarWars #TheHuntforBenSolo www.youtube.com/watch?v=56g9...

Republicans in Congress can’t be counted on to condemn their leader calling for the execution of their legislative colleagues. They are a profoundly pathetic and anti-American group of cucks.

Trump pardons allies who boost his crypto coin. Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating. Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business. The list goes on. We must not become numb to this blatant corruption.

Like Grandfather like Grandson #StarWars #BenSolo #AnakinSkywalker

Senate passed with unanimous consent. Imagine being on record as the only one to vote no on this

Elon Musk’s new pay package could amount to $100B per year. That's the same as 3.2 million cashiers’ paychecks combined. It’s more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks. It’s more than 2 million janitors’ paychecks. Billionaire greed is out of control.

with Marjorie Taylor Greene being kind of a whack job and magic the gathering rolling every IP it can into the game, it’s taking longer and longer to decipher which one posts about “MTG” are actually referencing lately

“I’d release my taxes but they’re under audit.” “I’d release the Epstein files but they’re part of an active investigation.” “You’ll have it in two weeks.” America is tired of the excuses and lies.

Trump is welcoming MBS, the Saudi crown prince, to the White House. This is the dictator who had a U.S. columnist murdered for criticizing the Saudi royal family. Sadly, we have a president who prefers the Saudi model — an autocracy run by a trillionaire family — to democracy.

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much” SNAP does not drive up grocery prices. That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed. For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy. While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob." —FDR, 1936

i wish i could have been in the room when they were brainstorming how to solve the housing crisis and someone raised their hand and said "what about 50 year mortgages?"

Billie Eilish calls out Elon Musk for hoarding his wealth “Fucking pathetic pussy bitch coward”

Trump giving Bill Clinton a blowjob is not illegal. However, Putin owning photos of these acts and using them as Kompromat and blackmail as implied in the Epstein emails is a national security catastrophe. As well as both being part of the Epstein rape trafficking network.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

Kind of crazy that evidence is mounting that the world is run by a group of rapists, pedophiles, and men convinced of women’s inmate natural inferiority, and the pundit class is trying to convince us that the real social crisis is that men are victimized and lonely because women have too many jobs.

need to kill the recurring thought of "no I can't replay/reread that, I have other stuff to check out" no. I am a poor little peasant living just after the advent of the printing press. I have five books at most and I will reread them so much they will know the death of the author was caused by me

Maybe someone should tell Megyn R. Kelly 15 is not “barely legal”, it’s actually quite illegal?

Billie Eilish calls out Elon Musk for not using his wealth to aid humanity and resolve global issues: “f***ing pathetic p***y b**** coward”

I think lots of men believe women; they just don’t think it matters

Two separate Oscars voters say they didn’t vote for #Conclave star Ralph Fiennes because 'he won before' They both thought he won an Oscar for ‘Schindler's List' in 1993, which he didn’t (via Variety)

Just ate a 600cal cookie for breakfast, and now my stomach hurts. Yay 🥴

Just finished my second post-ER #run with the #c25k app! :-)

Need guidance from an #iosdev or a #macosdev with #swift please advise #macos #ios #100daysofswift #developer #coding #hackingwithswift

has anyone here completed or dnf'd @twostraws.bsky.social 100 Days of Swift? I completed day 3 and am horribly confused. Should I redo the day tomorrow? Should I move forward? Need advice here, and possibly supplementary resources. Strings, Arrays, enums, etc already have me at a loss.

Hey @twostraws.bsky.social , just finished day 3 of 100 for learning swift… I failed the tests pretty roughly and am more lost than I was when I started - do you recommend repeating today’s lesson tomorrow, or move forward anyways?

Just finished my first #run since going to the ER 🙌 started the #c25k program over but hey, movement is movement 🫡

How do I influence the algorithm to flood my feed with pictures of #oliviarodrigo and #tatemcrae and #gracieabrams

This app refuses to accept what I do & don’t want to see. “Hide this post” and “show less like this” do nothing. I now have to block every account that posts thirst traps. Horrible system at play here.

The Greeks absolutely had it right when they included a chorus in their plays. They knew audiences are dumbasses who need to be told “THIS MAN IS BAD. HE IS HERE AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT *NOT* TO DO. WOE TO THE BUMPTIOUS FOOL WHO WOULD IDOLIZE HIM. YOU ARE NOT, NOR DO YOU WANT TO BE, ALEX DELARGE”

Can someone in #ios or #macos #swift development pls explain what I’m doing wrong / need to do next? Please and thank you 😅

Ok… finished Day 2 of the 100 Days of Swift. I was able to print Celcius & Fahrenheit, but I can’t figure out how to code the sentence to actually convert a number from one temp to the other. Someone pls help? @twostraws.bsky.social #swift #xcode #macos #ios

Doing Day 2 of @twostraws.bsky.social 100 Days of Swift… already confused out my mind with Boolean’s and toggle and flipping true/false value 🫠

I’m broke af like BAD broke but Gracie Abrams is doing an extension of her tour because deluxe and I signed up for presale lol 🫶

Ryan Reynolds sees Deadpool becoming more of a supporting character going forward in the MCU “If he comes back, it’s gonna be in someone else’s movie. Channing Tatum … I would happily be a fifth banana in his movie or anyone else’s” (via Variety)

Just finished day one of @twostraws.bsky.social 100 Days of Swift; integers, decimals, and math overall confuses me but it seems simple enough! #ios #macos #swift #developer

I’m a Whig now

Universal health care is a cornerstone of every other developed country, but in the US, coverage is fragmented among those with private insurance, government programs and a sizable uninsured population. In the US large swaths of the population are being sentenced to death by lack of coverage. 🧵

Hey iOS/MacOS/Swift community - is an M2 MacBook Air 16gb RAM good for development? I want to learn Swift and that’s the computer I have currently

About to finish reading Song of Achilles… might mess around and read the Iliad & the Odyssey next
