I know it's a broken record kind of thing...... BUT imagine his approval rating if the zeitgeist (the media) treated him like Biden inflation, egg prices, age...... or Kamala Harris laugh..... or Obama tan suit...... Hillary Clinton email...... These 33% are almost totally isolated and insulated.

Whoa @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social!

People in much of America can't relate with or comprehend how many people live in Los Angeles. There are only NINE states, yes entire STATES, which have more people than just Los Angeles County....... There are so many people, there are cities and towns INSIDE "Los Angeles" the city itself.

Let's gooooooo!

I live in a different state, but watching this campaign gives me hope.

Helpful today.

These posts are always fun...... but how's she going to do Saoirse Ronan like that?

I wish I had MAGIC TECH that could have captured all the people and news organizations that were LITERALLY FREAKING OUT about "Biden's economy"..... less than 2 years ago...... and see how those people and news organizations are reacting to "the economy" right now.

There are solutions to just about every problem humanity faces..... doing them is the problem.

Fun thread

I was so confident @volts.wtf was wrong about portland oregon "low key" being the best food city "per capita" that I didn't even do research. Then @nerd4cities.bsky.social mentioned Conde Nast best food city list. No portland..... But Seattle, New Orleans and San Francisco. Even Sante Fe! Haha!

Haha! One of the best blocks ever! David Roberts blocking me because I made a joke about how he was personally qualified to call someone else glib! Glib little @volts getting his feelings hurt.....

I chuckled hearing @volts.wtf refer to a sentiment as glib. This is like Michael Jordan using tenacious, Meryl Streep using dramatic or leonardo DaVinci using creative as a pejorative when referring to someone else......

President: republican Senate: republican majority House: republican majority Supreme court: republican majority States: majority under republican control Media: anti liberal bias to stoke rage bait Companies: pro tax cuts Zeitgeist: WHY ARE THE DEMS DOING THIS TO US!!?!?

My prediction. 3-8-2026 None of the insane fluctuation in "the economy" is going to change anything. It's been 50 years of this cycle. It's been 12 years of constant insanity. 38 to 42 percent of Americans will still say it's amazing. That's all it takes to elect him or the next one in 2028.

If I follow you and you're taking this moment to use your massive intellect and life of profound experience in your area of expertise to dutifully bash the Democrats I'm choosing to unfollow you. It was two or three strikes and you're out. But for my own mental health the next 3 years, it's now one

No one likes to talk about this but what we're witnessing is the direct result of NOT using January 20th(technically Jan 6th) 2021 to November 4th 2024 to systematicallyhgold him accountable for the first term and create constitutional ammendments to keep PREVENTABLE crimes from happening again.

I'm not a "Democrat". I'm very lucky in life so I've always just voted to improve the lives of people less fortunate. So can a Democrat or liberal or whatever you call yourself explain to me how all of this is better than voting for a Democrat because they have policy positions you disagree with?

What I feared. Was the normalization. The steady acceptance. The slow defeating feeling creeping over us. Normalizing insane thing after insane thing. Watching how fast we normalized this is debilitating. Onto normalizing the next atrocity. We so badly wanted "to get back to normal". We did it...

Pre-summary of the state of the union..... "America's the greatest it's ever been. I'm the greatest! Greatest president in history! Now let me spend the next two hours telling you everything that is horrible about this sh¡tty country you call home and how horrible things have become for you."

bsky.app/profile/grat... As a matter of preserving my sanity, I'm choosing to unfollow account that feel compelled to use their voices to bash Democratic candidates for the next 2 years and 8 months. It's just as easy to post about WHO YOU WANT TO SEE SUCCEED as the EVENTUAL Democratic nominee.

All my life I've been interested in the shadowy things the American government does that no one ever knows about..... but years later are declassified. So if this is all the stuff they are doing out in the open, and to be honest, bragging about...... what is happening in the shadows?

Margin Needed to "flip" PA(19) 120,266 60,134 MI(15) 80,103 40,052 WI(10) 29,397 14,699 Total needed to "flip" 114,885 If Kamala Harris "flipped" just 114,885 votes in just 3 states, she'd be president right now

Even before they jettisoned Biden, AOC said something prescient. To paraphrase. You have a very important cause you want to see fixed. With whoever the Democrat might be, you'll be able to fight to right that particular wrong. With trump as president, you'll instead be fighting to stop his wrongs.

Gavin Newsom is governor to more people than 21 states COMBINED. Kathy Hochul is governor to more than 11 states COMBINED. Zohran Mamdani is mayor to more than 9 states COMBINED. Karen Bass is mayor to more than 5 states COMBINED. Even Katie Wilson is mayor to more people than 3 individual states.

The pie chart represents what much of America THINKS is the breakdown of the American "political divide" The graph shows a more accurate representation. 20.5 ineligible to vote and those under 18 34.7 chose not to vote 22.1 voted Democratic Party 22.7 voted republican

Humans have always struggled. We're not built to be content, dare I say "happy". Unfortunately, we have sort of reached the stage where our know-how, wealth and technology could in theory solve all Americans problems. We COULD be content. Almost all of the chaos we're seeing now is manufactured.

I do not follow @volts.wtf but it's by far the most re-skeeted account across all the accounts I have on my favorites list(the one I actually see each day). Half the time it's people pointing out how wrong they are and half the time it's people who think it's a valid point......

I'm going to rent out Four Seasons Total Landscaping when it finally happens

As seen at the 2025 Velo-city Conference in Gdansk, the Big Bike Orchestra is a Polish pop-folk band formed in 2021 in Bydgoszcz. Their unique feature is the combination of playing musical instruments while simultaneously riding a specially constructed six-person bicycle. www.bigbikeorchestra.com

This is what most people envision when they think about American politics.

Some classic Sesame Street pinball wizardry for you to count on…

Three Wins Today (March 14, 2025) + Three Bonus Wins because I think we all really need it today 1. The North Dakota Senate, which only has five Democrats voted 16 to 31 against the resolution to send Reversing gay marriage back to Scotus 1/

“Elon Musk kind of turned out to be an asshole. And I don’t want to be driving a car built and designed by an asshole.” - Senator Mark Kelly (D- Arizona)

40 changes in Paris in 2 minutes, a video I did in 2023. Bluesky has just increased the video time limit, so now I can post it in full ! ;) Notice how many "after" images still have very little green, as the changes were recent at the time. A good reason to make a new version later !

honestly not surprised by this because I went to the University of Waterloo lol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I get that people are sick of Americans saying “well I didn’t vote for this” but I have genuine sympathy. Their government is torching goodwill and relations with pretty much all friends, allies, and neighbours. That has to put you as a regular citizen in a really strange position.

A brilliant Banksy.

There are good people out there.

A Cybertruck with Basel license plates was stopped by the police in Switzerland. The vehicle was taken off the road because it does not meet Swiss standards. The driver was arrested. I wish we (🇺🇸) had Swiss standards...

I hope you’ll read this piece I wrote about the insanity of Elon Musk & Utah Sen. Mike Lee attacking federal judges, yet another attack on democracy joycevance.substack.com/p/when-they-...

Intersection daylighting added in advance of putting down a new marked crosswalk at Bellevue Ave E and E Thomas Street. 👀

Both incredibly brilliant women

A personal note about the @katiephangshow.bsky.social:

Accurate headline would be: "Trump Fires Joint Chiefs Chairman and Causes Turmoil at Pentagon; the decision to fire Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. is due to the fact that the general is Black and Trump is a white supremacist."
