A+ trolling from Zelenskyy

Take a LONG look at how tightly T is gripping the abdomen of the girl to his right. That's not a normal level of physical contact.

Notice the pattern: help a narrow group loudly, hurt everyone else quietly. Tariffs help a few steel workers but raise prices for every firm using steel. Tax cuts favor the rich while squeezing social programs. Politically noisy wins, economically costly losses.

Anti-vaxxism is an ideology with maybe the dumbest combination of pointless and evil that has ever existed bsky.app/profile/nyti...

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

According to his publicist, he got something stuck in his throat and lost his voice.

[At work]: BREAKING: PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP DIES ON TOILET.

David Ellison appears to be mortified that CBS/60 Minutes is “going rogue” by covering the news and by keeping him “in the dark” about a segment critical of Trump. Because Ellison doesn’t realize that’s how it’s supposed to work. nypost.com/2025/12/10/m...

The hallmark of a Trumpian economy: “Make do with less”

Indeed.

It's like someone set out to make a show that was the complete opposite of The West Wing.

I suddenly want to ask @petebuttigieg.bsky.social why HE didn't think of putting chin-up bars in the airports. (I'm sure he'd say something sober and dignified like "because I'm not insane"... 😂)

A new video of a Tesla Optimus robot falling over after a motion that resembles removing a helmet has people suspecting that robots are remotely operated and not autonomous. This looks suspiciously like the human operator took off their headset before going into a rest mode causing it to fall over.

Death threats should be the same way. Shine a bright light on the degenerates who make them. Tie their loathsome words to names and contact information. Let the world know what they've threatened to do, so the world's "lone wolves" can respond in kind.

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi media needs to stop beating around the bush. this is Nazi shit.

One way of looking at it…

The problem is, those latter items would all be Public Goods, and (most) billionaires view those like vampires view crosses.

Anyone can be a Professional Thought-maker. It just requires getting enough fiber in your diet. 🙂

If this story had a theme song, it would be "Rockstar", by Nickelback.

Popes tend to be scholarly folk. I'm sure His Holiness knows how to say "go fuck yourself" in both Latin AND ancient Greek.

Past special elections with massive swings to Dems could be explained away by GOPs, because turnout was relatively low. Not this one. Republicans should be deeply concerned.

i'd say the midterm-level turnout for a special election is even more ominous than the swing

When Dems run on this, they create 19 pt swings.

When the publisher of a children’s book has to say please don’t use our IP to celebrate war crimes… This administration is such a moral stain.

Hot off the keyboard and gifted: Hegseth has to go. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Without going into too much detail, a friend of mine is on the management side of a negotiating team with a union (he's personally very pro-union), and his take on this stuff is that if you have serious labor relations problems it's because you're dumb.

...and people complained about Fetterman wearing his hoodie on the Senate floor... 😂

*reads this just as he's finishing up the last of the sweet potato casserole* (...and maybe a wee bit of vanilla ice cream on top... 😂 )

What poor Presidential performance looks like in Wordle format...

Really wish Bluesky offered the option to treat a regular reply as a quote to the original post, and then retweet the set, because this pairing would have been excellent. (This was in response to reports of Heggy being contemptuous of the Geneva Conventions)

Jesus, @cnn.com you put Stephen Miller’s wife on the air How many times do we have to say it WHITE SUPREMACY IS NOT A VALID VIEWPOINT IT DOES NOT DESERVE ANY AIR TIME. EVER AND BY ALLOWING HER ON A NATIONAL PROGRAM, YOU ARE NORMALIZING HATRED You are part of the problem Bigly

I've been saying that this issue is a wedge that can pry the GOP apart. Lots of Churchy people are very serious about disabilities and really can't meld with the eugenicist right

Stephen Miller’s ancestors were Jewish refugees from the pogroms in czarist Russia. They came to the U.S. in the early twentieth century, even as racists said this same stuff about them.

Strongly suspect that "Column D" often uses the word "bloodline" when asked to elaborate on why "having children" is such a high priority. As if they were literal royalty... 🙄

If this is true, every halfway decent foreign intelligence service on the planet already has the receipts ….

You pull yourself up by your boostraps. Me? I DESERVE free money from the government, and so do my rich friends bsky.app/profile/cwar...

Chaos on TwitterX as they roll out a new change which shows the location of the user and inadvertently reveal how many fake accounts there are and how much foreign interference. Earlier a vocal Scottish independence campaigner was outed as an Iranian account. Then there’s this pro Trump one:

I can just imagine what Trump's funeral (whenever that is) will look like... It's going to be an absolute circus.

Trump endorsed Zohran Mamdani before Chuck Schumer did!

The most annoying thing about AI evangelists is their presumption that LLM quality will continue to improve linearly (or even exponentially) rather than asymptotically.

Analysts citing Nvidia’s earnings as proof there’s no AI bubble are looking in the wrong place. The risk isn’t Nvidia running out of FAANG buyers for its chips. It’s OpenAI failing to deliver on $1.4T of promised spend and what that means for every stock price dependent on the assumption it will.

Elon Musk’s anti-woke version of Wikipedia, Grokipedia, cites neo-Nazi forums in multiple places as source. A great validation of the notion that when people say they’re anti-woke, they just mean they’re hyper racist.

I think he's touched them quite enough, thank you.

It occurs to me that this phrase would be an excellent retort to most male journalists going forward. Jake Tapper: "Did I ever tell you that Joe Biden is old?" "Quiet, piggy" Ross Douthat: "Gurlz ruin everything!" "Quiet, piggy." Etc, etc... Thanks for the idea, Donny! 🙂

That, or they have a stubborn patch of bamboo in their backyard that they want you to handle for them.

oh my god you have to read this until the end www.telos.news/p/part-1-how...

Unfortunately, now that one party is more or less pro Handmaid's Tale for Real, Brian Stelter @brianstelter.bsky.social is no longer allowed to imply that it's a bad thing.

Inshallah

They have to protect Nuzzi. If she can be drummed out of the profession, then *they* are vulnerable too. Just a variation of The Thin Blue Line.
