Why are there so many people on SNAP benefits anyway? The “job creators” should be creating jobs for them. That was the promise of trickle-down Reaganomics, and we’ve been doubling down on for five decades. Billionaires exist to provide jobs for everyone else. They should do that.

I'm reluctant to post on bsky that I liked Tron: Ares quite a lot. This feels like a place where you get cred points for hating on something, not for liking it. BTW, just because a movie includes an AI character, that doesn't mean it's "making a statement about AI." It could just be a story. 🤷‍♂️

It's been 32 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Who would have thought the “grab ‘em by the pussy” guy would rape the country? Who would have thought the “lie back and enjoy it” crowd would lie back and enjoy it?

This seems like an appropriate move to me.

The 9th Circuit just removed the last structural barriers to civil war.

The guy who accidentally leaked war plans to a reporter was confident that nothing would go wrong. So glad no one was hurt. Why do we have TV personalities in charge of everything important instead of qualified career professionals?

Guessing 10k in downtown #Eugene for #NoKings. So much optimism, love, and inclusion. I love this city.

I honestly have no idea why Roldan started this game, but that was a clever pass for the assist. #usmnt

talent + experience + inability to win = ? #usmnt

Is there recall campaign in Louisiana District 4 yet?

Anyone know how I can complain that I don’t want my tax dollars being used for this bullshit propaganda?

Just saw a recruiting ad for ICE. Signing bonus includes "student loan forgiveness." This is brilliant because no one with an actual education will join up. So they can claim the high ground without ever paying a penny.

I get a lot of spam texts like "let's meet up soon!" from numbers I don't know. After yesterday's circus in Quantico, this one gave me pause. 😬🤔

So the government (a) is full of waste and fraud (b) uses vaccines to implant chips (c) develops secret Star Trek level healing capabilities and hides it from the world Defund NIH and CDC, stop socialism, but give us that secret health thing you’re hiding FFS

So many people live in fear of a nonexistent bogeyman who, if he DID exist, wouldn’t give them a single thought, let alone go hundreds of miles to steal from them.

The problem with the plot of the Terminator movies is that the only weapon bots ever needed was the exploitation of irrational human moral outrage

What the fuck?

I think God saw Trump on an escalator and thought "maybe I need to rethink this whole rapture thing" and that's why the escalator shut down suddenly

Republicans have majority in both the House and Senate as well as the Presidency. I’m eager to see how they justify this coming shutdown as Biden’s fault. Release the Epstein files.

“I voted for the billionaire who doesn’t pay taxes and doesn’t understand groceries who said he would fix the economy” is the dumbest America. Obama got in trouble for “spread the wealth around a little” but somehow the billionaires who hoard wealth will save us 🤦‍♂️

Former FOX News hosts are finding out that going on TV with an opinion and zero knowledge is fine when you’re a TV host, but not so acceptable when you’re in charge of an entire government department. We can tolerate a stupid president, but we must demand competence from our functionaries.

The most interesting thing about @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social coming back to TV is that Trump is in the Epstein files.

BREAKING: American Christians confused why the only people disappearing during rapture are immigrants

Boarding a flight. I hope the pilots aren’t taken by the rapture until after we land.

I really really really hope @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social updates their logo to a version of the @crackerbarrell.bsky.social logo.

Would love to see @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social and @colbertlateshow.bsky.social turn to @pbs.org. win-win

Want to add your voice? Disney needs to hear from all of us. This will be delivered to Bob Iger of Disney and Dana Walden of ABC. Link in comments.

The thing about canceling a popular figure is that it makes that figure’s fans feel doubly validated in their thinking. You’ve cancelled the person but entrenched the idea. The ONE thing MAGA is good at is radicalizing people. #CancelCulture #Kimmel

Oh my, Cal Bears. Oh, my Cal Bears! #GoBears

Ask your parents if you don’t know. ✌️☮️ Military troops should never be deployed against our own citizens. Picking up trash is a slippery slope to normalizing military presence in our neighborhoods. We must not allow it. youtu.be/MN_9VqfVQ9c?...

So much talent, such terrible play. I really do not understand anything Pochettino has done with the #USMNT. Seems we’re dramatically worse than 18 months ago.

Participating in community created art

“I have a gun and an opinion” is not the same as having the authority to use that gun in support of your opinion. This guy thinks he’s Dirty Harry, but he’s really just dirty.

assuming Trump has nothing on his calendar because he heard it’s Labor Day weekend and he hates everything about labor

Cracker Barrel ha ha hahaHAHAHAHA>snort< no, seriously

Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president? Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out

The wonderful thing about self publishing is that now anyone can put out a book. The terrible thing about self publishing is that now anyone can put out a book.

Finding grandpa on the roof is usually a sign that living at home is no longer viable and a difficult conversation is necessary.

These folks are awesome!

16 people who play football “earn” HALF A BILLION DOLLARS EVERY YEAR some of my teacher and nurse friends would like a word please

Last night in #Eugene, #IndigoGirls rocked and #MelissaEtheridge ROCKED.

Super excited for pro soccer in my new hometown lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/sports...

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

This is a kind of compassion fatigue, one of the reasons we published RELIT. graybearpublications.com/books/relit

I’m not troubled by Trump and other leaders kicking news outlets they don’t like out of access areas. Access journalism has been the problem for a long time. Maybe we’ll all start trusting the outlets without access, as they have no reason to protect that access.
