Holy shit @ me next time

The prophet.

Eric Adams is an incredibly strange man

Breaking tonight - MTG traded an unrelated vote for a promise that she'd get a vote on a bill criminalizing health care for trans youth. They are in session for like 5 days out of 30 and instead of addressing the affordability crisis, MAGA are sticking their noses into private health care decisions

THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T TRY TO MAKE ROOM FOR DISAFFECTED BIGOTS IN THE TENT. THEY ARE STILL BIGOTS.

I'd like to hear from folks who were all excited about Marjorie Taylor Greene supposedly moderating and turning over a new leaf. Still feeling that way? Still think she's someone worth talking to? Excited about this lady whose top priority is trying to make transition health care a felony? 😡

Shredded Ralston

my mom, my brother, and I cleaned out my stepdads room when he died in 2014 and in a drawer there was a folder labeled "Leaping Lizards" Inside was 1 page from a magazine with a picture of a leaping lizard on it, and at that moment it was like the most hilarious thing anyone had ever seen.

abolish cover letters

Please can we stop this?? Please??? Can we stop the old tax cheat vs old r*pist dialogue year after god forsaken year???

ME: [seven days into the Twelve Days of Christmas, showing up at the bird store again] hello, I would-- BIRD STORE GUY: no. you have to tell me what you're actually doing with all these birds before I sell you any more.

I do not believe "has muslims" is a valid reason for a negative review, and Valve too often tolerate hate on their platforms.

Democrats have been deemed "too liberal" for my entire life and I'm 40, oh my god shut the fuck up. Literally nobody is clamoring for Clintonism. The people who remember it fondly are turbo libs now thanks to Trump and conservative Genxers are basically Hitler. It has zero constituency.

I am not All In This Together with centrists. Centrists are the enemy. Centrists must be destroyed.

so true bestie

PERRIELLO IS BACK!!!

It’s really amazing that @safety.bsky.app applies the TOS in a grossly unbalanced way but acts so morally righteous

We have to listen to bigoted handwringing about how we have to abandon trans people and marginalized communities and immigrants while the clearest election winning message is right there.

Lucas watching news Star Wars:

This is true but also I don't think Sam Altman is pretending

Lander going after Rep Dan Goldman in NY-10 *BRAD LANDER TO LAUNCH HOUSE BID AS SOON AS WEDNESDAY: POLITICO

This whole so-called “parents rights” movement the right has taken up and the left is supposed to kowtow to for votes is so obviously anti-child it really bothers me to see it presented as anything other than justification for abusive “parenting” and disregard for actual science on child development

Once I stayed up all night drawing actual illustrations for a spot that ran nationally on short notice and I would like to tell the people who “hardly slept” because they were “writing prompts” that they are soft pathetic babies who can go to baby hell.

You will be visited by three spirits

MORPHEUS: They're coming for you, Neo. I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say. Take the elevator to the lobby and go to the CVS across the street. Purchase 5 Steam gift cards at $200 each. Scratch off the protective coating on the back and tell me the fifteen digit redemption codes. Hurry

I’m gonna be honest @jay.bsky.team, banning a side account that I made after this one was suspended due to me being scared for my husband who was kidnapped by ICE and having a dev meme on this is insane PR for any site. By that I mean BAD PR. I’m simply asking for an apology. That’s it.

Who is being kept safe? Who is being trusted?

our bluesky safety manager replied with this to a woman venting after ICE kidnapped her husband, and then banned her. How do we trust this person to have the empathy needed to be in charge of safety on this website? what the fuck? if we spam the feedback, it might get somewhere @safety.bsky.app

I don't think Netflix should get to eat anything else until it finishes all the prematurely cancelled shows on its plate

The social spending bill would have put hundreds of billions into programs that people would have seen before 2024. -extended Child Tax Credit increase -20 workdays of paid family and medical leave -child care, universal pre-K -health care subsidies The Blue Dog Coalition Dems delayed the bill.

democratic legitimacy is about the consent of the governed and we simply do not need to consent to this court's lawless jurisprudence. court packing, jurisdiction stripping, congressional oversight, DOJ investigations into corruption ... we have levers to bring the court to heel

bringing out my Charlie Brown tree for the holidays

This is how my local paper in the swing state of Nevada covered it: Huge picture, AP story with nary a hint that this was weird or corrupt. As low as Trump’s approval ratings are, they’d be much lower if he didn’t have the help of large swaths of the media

i am the watcher on the wall

NEW — I put together a list of independent journalism subscriptions that would make great holiday gifts. From music to politics, astronomy to alcohol, tech to social justice, there’s something for [almost] everyone. Support indie media *and* surprise and delight your loved ones! My guide:

I'll not be entertaining hyperbole about that performance. It was what it was - a performance from an exhausted team with their 3 first choice centrebacks out and a forward line of mostly returning players against a good team that plays like it's a cup final when they face Arsenal because of Emery.

just get in, I ain't got time for all that explainin shit (donuts)

Reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally want to see the person who doesn't think this is just overtly racist

This is the most horrific trophy I’ve ever seen. It looks like a cursed object found in a desert crypt.

Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud. In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that. What a confession.
