I said it before and I'll say it again: Giving a pack of Epstein associates a comprehensive list of all children in the country with home address and school listed, sortable by various traits that indicate vulnerability to exploitation, is the literal diametric opposite of keeping kids safe.

in general, & across the world, the political gender divide really opens up around 2016 wonder if something happened then?

this is just a warmed over david duke speech from 1990

Energy price spikes and shortages driven by Trump's war are only just beginning. We can outgrow them through efficient electrical devices - wind turbines, solar panels, batteries, heat pumps, electric trains/cars/bikes/wheelchairs/skateboards/etc. - orchestrated by software to protect power grids.

Hey @nytimes.com, I already reported this earlier this week. And the G650s you mention? I reported on those in FEBRUARY. You credit NBC News and WSJ for first reporting parts of your story. Please credit me, too.

Is mandating an increase in the amount of corn and soy we burn in vehicles good for food security? No. Is it good for nature? No. But is it at least good for the climate? Also no. Read the latest from @mikegrunwald.bsky.social 👇🏻

My bike commute to work is a few Austrian Death Machine tracks and a BtB episode (25mi). Between BtB and the Euro pop stuff I'm tiring of I'm really not looking forward to hearing about fucking Jimmy Saville. But I have 4 shifts coming up and I need 12 hours of content to cover 200mi of commuting.

Never, ever, ever, ever vote for a Republican for any office.

I'll be real*. If the pope and Catholics got onboard with trans people having rights I'd be willing to tithe. I'm so not Catholic my in-laws and the priest who married my wife and I looked at me askance. *12 drinks in 3 hours.

This is a pro "Resigning from secNav due to shit barracks" and "I killed some kids with a claymore because they were trying to kill me" post. Webb's got faults but I would've loved him as a GOP candidate.

This is truer than any mouth breather in the admin knows. Sex workers and strippers as well as their madames are more qualified to talk about the needs of the military than any Republican since James Webb was SecNav. Fuck McCain's "yea on tac nukes nay on the Post 9/11" ass.

The church and the military are run on unpaid women’s work. So when men tell you need to stay home and then leave you 16 years later take their pensions.

Another Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump will plead guilty in a separate case involving child exploitation of multiple victims. David Daniel has reached a plea agreement in connection with a pending charge of sexual exploitation of a minor and possessing sexually explicit images of children.

Yeah food rationing on submarines can be expected. Food rationing on a surface ship should be a fireable offense for supply up and down the chain

We ran out of food one deployment. Several days before pulling in there was only food for the oncoming watch section. We'd been extended numerous times *on a submarine*. Culture and cooks're different but I'm shocked there's no underway replenishment for food on major surface combatants.

When we create a state that is so focused on cruelty, we are always going to empower people like this. The cruelty is not a byproduct, it is an inevitable consequence.

DoorDash's head of public affairs said "no one is claiming it was a real delivery." I found a few people who were claiming that: Reuters, ABC, CBS, the AP, Fox, Newsmax, The Hill, the New York Post, and CSPAN, for starters. www.readtpa.com/p/a-real-del...

I really just don't think we should put pedophiles in charge anymore

*Battle Hymn of the Republic intensifies*

New from me: No increase in global coal power generation after Hormuz closure - solar and wind growth covered the fall in gas-fired generation. The record buildout of clean energy in 2025 helped mitigate the impact of the Hormuz closure.

I need you folks to understand that this is the way they push through restricting being able to print things like whistles anything else they happen to find objectionable at the drop of a hat. This is the start of that regulatory slippery slope.

That needs to be paired with a vision for doing fewer things, not just doing the same with less. That’s missing. The only politicians saying we’re going to do less and focus on the important things are Republicans. They’re lying, but most people don’t know that.

There’s no excuse why Democrats haven’t flooded the airwaves about the plethora of sex offenders and pedophiles Donald Trump has personally put back into our neighborhoods.

The thing where voters don't believe republican policies could be as evil as they are apparently extends to the republicans actually in charge of the government just mindlessly implementing them

This is exactly the tasting notes I would expect if 4Loko made an original strength PSL flavor. I would still drink it.

I said there would be concentration camps if he was elected. WE said there would be concentration camps if he was elected. Any media not calling the camps— both inside and outside of our country — "concentration camps" is failing in their mandate to report facts, and lying to their readers.

Every time I'm reminded that thatching is still a trade in England I'm unbelievably happy. Not quite as excited as I was when I saw a thatched roof in person as I didn't believe it was actually a thing. But now I'm as excited as I was when I saw one because I never noticed or knew about a finial!

I can’t believe this is literally US foreign policy right now

competitive authoritarianism is bad but it is absolutely still beatable if you show up in large enough numbers november is step one for us

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor and still, they threw him out and you know what? they did it by voting don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

the evil emperor cozying up to the pope’s idiot brother is so fucking renaissance, man. it’s so funny. the emperor is forming an alliance against the papal states and there is war in the holy land. there are rumors of plague.

Another deported U.S. citizen. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

I have literally spent more time in 24 hours actively riding a bicycle than they spent in talks. I'm not talking "The ride started at 0500 and finished at 0500 but I spent 12 hours not moving because it was a relay" I'm talking actually riding a bike. These people are so fucking weak.

Now I want a summer blockbuster about sending photographers into space to photograph some shit because astronauts can't be trained. Michael Bay's still working.

One of the comments to this is like “of all the things to be mad about, not being able to get a credit card is low down the list” and y’all being able to leave shitty men is so important and cannot be done without money.

The dildo brigade has come to Los Angeles. Couple dozen people have come to the Metropolitan Detention Center to protest ICE, bringing bags of dildos with them. This is lowkey surreal to see in person

Hear me out. This shouldn't matter. I'm serious. Trump and his cronies (including the SCOTUS) have consistently pissed all over the rule of law. He pardoned the J6ers and like half have diddled kids again since release. It would be madness to even pretend those pardons matter. Society demands it

The Confederates were also allowed to skate and Reconstruction was killed. 160+ years of this shit is exactly why we're here

On this 9th day of April, in the Year of our Lord 2026, of the Independence of the United States of America the 249th, and of its enforced preservation the 162nd, let me be the first to wish you happy The Penalty of Treason is Death ~ No North, No South, The Union Forever Day 😊

Happy Confederate Surrender Day to every patriot in the land!

Union Dixie as performed by Tennessee Ernie Ford's a fucking banger. "We'll all go down to Dixie, away, away! Each Dixie Boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam."

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

“We propose to settle all the difficulty of the Dred Scott Decision by putting it into the Constitution. If a man is not a citizen of the country in which he is born, in God’s name of what country is he a citizen? If he may not live there, where has he a right to live?“

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

🙄 Once you see it, you can't unsee it

Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws. Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.

Hegseth seems to have spent the whole day trying to underscore my thesis that he doesn’t know anything about what makes a military effective — he’s a frustrated mid-level officer from the glory days of the GWOT lashing out at all those he thinks failed him: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-mythol...

Pass big tax cuts for the rich, slash health care spending, let polluters set environmental/energy policy, start a pointless war in the Middle East.

Big, fat asterisk next to everyone's name who is promoted past Major in this period. The wages of racism and misogyny in uniform will be paid this time. There will be no nodding past this and hoping "professionalism" or "honor" sorts things out.
