Timeline cleanse! The Empire Strips Back - Yes, it’s Star Wars burlesque.

You know who else had statues of himself all through the country and his face on anything the people would see? Saddam Hussein

Remember when I kept saying he was trying to emulate Emperor Flavian? Yup

"don't worry, he's just into 15-year-olds" perhaps not as exculpatory as you think Also 15-year-olds are not "barely legal." They are minors.

I go all Lois Lane on Lt. Ortegas’ brother and whether he’s a journalist in our review of “What is Starfleet?”. And @mark2000.bsky.social helps me process my visceral reaction to the excellent WEAPONS. More over, Pennywise. Get out, Freddy and Jason. Aunt Gladys is in the hood.

Remember how Elon said that Trump was in the Epstein files and that’s why he won’t let them be released and he apparently knew all about that but then decided to be friends with Trump again a week later so he just deleted that tweet and doesn’t mention it and no one regards that as a bit of an issue

Thanks to a witch, MAGA Ken learns everyone deserves to eat.

Friendly reminder that most Christians aren’t following Jesus. They’re following Paul, a man that wrote out ideas that directly contradicted the teachings of Jesus and the words of the original disciples. Paul’s teachings were based on hierarchy and power. They’re Paulists, not Christians.

She didn’t get the position or clout she thought she deserved for backing him like the men did, so she’s acting out and trying to play the victim, especially around other women.

“I’m not coming in to punch anybody in the face, but I’m not pleased that, in the face of this invasive species that is Donald Trump, who’s completely changed the rules of the game, that we’re still playing by the old rules of the game. “And in my core, I’m stunned.” www.huffpost.com/entry/newsom...

Brought the big camera to work for the Aurora show this evening. A WSR-88D radar makes for an interesting urban foreground! #wywx #aurora

#USDemocracy #MomSky #feminism Women factory workers ensured that the Allied forces won World War 2 by building everything from the bullets to the warplanes that the soldiers used. Antifa in Indiana, 1943:

"Europe is hurtling toward digital vassalage. Under Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, EU laws to tackle tech giants have been either not applied or delayed, for fear of offending Donald Trump." - @johnnyryan.bsky.social and Georg Riekeles

1944: American, British, & Canadian soldiers stormed Normandy's beaches while many workers at home supplied soldiers by factory and raised their families. We took on the Nazi occupiers and, to this day, many in our countries 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘦 to tolerate fascists. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧 They don't own us! #USDemocracy #MomSky

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

On this Veterans Day, I pay special tribute to those who served, especially the trans service members, only to have Whiskey Pete Hegseth shit all over their service because he's an insecure, inadequate right wing white man.

Happy birthday, Mr. Vonnegut

Kudos to the anti-vaccine movement for making the world a little worse off than where they found it.

To be clear: the deal they voted on to move forward last night still needs to be formally voted on in the Senate and House. If the eight are your senators, they should be hearing from you this morning!

8 Senate Democrats sided with Trump and Republican fascists in throwing 15 million Americans off Medicaid and Obamacare: Dick Durbin (IL), Maggie Hassan (NH), Tim Kaine (VA), Angus King (I-ME), Cortez Masto (NV), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), Jacky Rosen (NV), John Fetterman (PA).

This week’s astonishing artifact is an ancient Egyptian human-hair wig found in the tomb of a royal architect and his wife. 🏺🧪

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

So @durbin.senate.gov is hiding from his constituents today—no one answering phones and no voicemail option last night and again this morning. Craven and feckless.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

New York’s mayor-elect launched his campaign by talking to non-voters and Trump supporters. Some of them even came along.

The most honest thing he has ever said... And they cheered. 😔

Just hours after President Donald Trump floated the idea of sending Americans $2,000 checks, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent immediately contradicted the proposal during a live appearance Sunday on ABC's "This Week.

He told seven drug dealers that a mother needed formula for her baby, and they stepped up. We already know the Christians did not when she called them.

One of America’s biggest for-profit hospital operators is bankrupt, broken, and responsible for countless mistreated patients—thanks to its private equity overlords.

The complex brought in a plumber that just turned off our hot water, possibly through tomorrow. I know he got here 2 hours ago. Keep in mind June 2023, they turned off our hot water for six weeks to make repairs required by the city. It’s different in November.

FULL STORY: Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, who led a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and its suburbs, lied about firing tear gas at protesters in Little Village and tackling a man outside the Broadview ICE facility, a federal judge said Thursday. @wttw.bsky.social

New Arrivals! Here until 4! The sun is shining and we have COMICS littledeercomics.ie

How do AI* companies avoid regulation? The way tech companies have been able to avoid regulation for decades—by buying legislators and decrying anything that might hinder innovation (read: profits). readsludge.com/2025/03/20/d...

It’s 7:15 am on a Saturday here and the roofers have already been working for over an hour.

AI crash, AI crash, AI crash

And if his own people take him out of the equation, they will try to revive MAGA via the hydra head that springs up to take his place.

Academic projects and emphases that scream privilege and dereliction of responsibility. There are many intellectuals who will play the Ivory Tower game all the way to the end, and no Ivory Tower intellectual sees themselves as an Ivory Tower intellectual. How can every emphasis be important?

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries. No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

This woman has spent the past few days calling places of worship to see if they would donate formula for her baby who hasn’t eaten in several hours. So far, I’ve only seen yeses from a mosque, a Buddhist temple, two Catholic churches, two Black Baptist churches, and a tiny Appalachian ministry.

We told you he was out to pull a Stalin.

SCOOP: Trump Has a Secret List of 24 “Designated Terrorist Organizations.” We Got Some of the Names. The U.S. claims it is engaged in “armed conflict” with Tren de Aragua, Ejército de Liberación Nacional, and Cártel de los Soles, among others. theintercept.com/2025/11/07/t...

That ghastly whiteness it is which imparts such an abhorrent mildness, even more loathsome than terrific, to the dumb gloating

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

To be honest though, your everday MAGA isn’t making that connection.
