Yes. You rarely get to change the world overnight. It's rarely a good idea, even if you did. You change it in degrees and bring people around to your way of thinking. Then you remind people all along who did it, and what more can be done. That's politics.

Everyone debates endlessly whether or not culture influences politics but I swear to god being a kid in the 80s and watching Vietnam movies and reading Vonnegut made me hate war in my bones and once you hate war everything flows downstream from there. Then Stipe and Cobain etc finished me off

Hi, I'm a random human on Al Gore's internet and I endorse this analogy👍

My not-so-hot take is that what Mamdani is doing *IS* incrementalism, and the bar is so deeply in hell that a politician just doing *anything* good consistently is a total anomaly for people. And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible.

you'd think PBS would've stopped doing this after the republicans stripped all their funding and yet

The absolute best thing that could happen to the Democratic Party is for the people in control of the Democratic Party to lose control and be replaced by people who actually believe in the power of the Democratic Party.

Good God! We are in deep trouble. “Parts of France are recording land surface temperatures above 55°C...approaching values commonly seen in the Sahara. The difference is that one is a desert. The other is supposed to be one of Europe's most productive agricultural regions.” @pdynes.bsky.social

It’s possible to draw 20 new Blue districts before the next presidential election.

The Republican president of the Utah State Senate lost his 2026 primary because of his support for "AI" Data Centers. UTAH. Democrats, i really really really need you to get this message and get it right now.

"this could have been a roundabout" is the transportation infrastructure version of "this could have been an email"

Out: Vote Blue No Matter Who In: PRIMARY THAT FUCKER OR YOU'RE A SUCKER

I’m old enough to remember that Obama didn’t have to give Iran $330bn in unfrozen assets, lifted sanctions, and a wealth fund in order to get them to agree to nuclear inspectors.

[with tears in my eyes] dudes rock

draaaaaaaaaag theeemmmmmmmmmmmmmm lmao

I am having a violent allergic reaction to this shit. The Raymond Loewy design was one of the best liveries this miserable society ever produced

I never want the Scots to leave 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Went to a bar after playing soccer tonight. Kid with bagpipes comes in and the Scots start singing Flower of Scotland (the best national anthem). The Norwegians were also fun and started rowing their booth 🇳🇴

she looks so cool…

america is an ideal worth fighting for

💯

Wait wait wait wait wait...ok... Ferris is real, 🥚 Cameron is real, Sloane (real or imagined) is the gender daydream/idealization of woman Cameron isn't yet safe to become?

Just think when it happens the whole country will look like nyc tonight

Seattle elects a socialist mayor, wins the Super Bowl NYC elects a socialist mayor, wins the NBA finals Win your city a major sports title with this one neat trick

Promises made. Promises kept.

Well, the city of San Antonio knows what it has to do if it wants to win: first, get yourself a Muslim democratic socialist mayor

we got sports in the national divorce

Coney Island. Knicks in five. Brooklyn is exploding. New York City!

my mayor muslim my bagel jewish pope leo hive knicks in five

Incredible. Rail fans at LA Union Station heckle and boo Duffy’s remarks at the press conference where he has announced an FRA investigation into CA High Speed Rail. They yell “Cowards!” “Build the Rail!” and “We Pay Taxes, We Want the Train!” #IWillRide

Not only did they boo him but the boos STOPPED when it cut to the Spurs. We have transcended sporting rivalries here tonight.

Need these on votive candles for praying at the alter of this GODDESS 🙏🕯️

Happy pride to bisexuals who discovered themselves after they already married a straight person. You don’t have to die wondering you can cheat on your spouse and it doesn’t count if they’re a different sex

like you aren’t watching a guy trying to be cool and edgy and show off his giant gun so you know he’s a badass you’re watching a guy whose inner monologue is three straight hours of “this is why office Christmas parties are fucking bullshit, I hate it here” a relatable king!!!!

You know what would be a wicked fun Star Trek Series? Earth RIGHT AFTER first contact. Putting the pieces together, building the first ships to explore the outer solar system and maybe even a nearby planet. Would have to have timeskips like for For All Mankind.

Chat, is it gay to think women beautiful? ... Sir, this is an Arby's

Trump wears tons of makeup, loves interior decorating, his favorite band is the Village People, and he can’t stop talking about how hot guys are. Just an observation. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

this may look cute but rockets only do this under extreme distress

MAIN PLOT: Gul Dukat and Sisco are locked in a vault, lets see if Sisco can convince Gul Dukat slavery is intrinsically evil before they run out of air B PLOT: Jake and Nog try to raise money for a school trip but accidentally start a pyramid scheme??

New — I talked with @katmabu.bsky.social the morning after a judge dismissed all charges against her and her co-defendants thanks to extreme government fuckery about what comes next, the crazy rumor mill and setting a precedent for telling ICE to fuck off. Our convo here:

Fucking stop using fucking Spotify just fucking stop. There are no excuses. If you're an indie artist and you prop up Spotify because you think it helps you you're part of the problem. Stop using it to listen. Stop using it to host your music.

please stop booing I have a lot of speech to go

Toby the African pygmy falcon (Polihierax semitorquatus) is taking a dust bath at the Cincinnati Zoo. Birds secrete oil from a uropygial gland ('preen gland') that is antimicrobial, conditions & adds waterproofing. A dust bath helps remove this oil so a fresh layer can be applied.

1. My e-bike assistance means I'm doing ¾, ½, or ¼ of the exercise, depending on the setting 2. What a pity it'd be if we de-carbonized transportation, made our streets safe, and reclaimed 30% of the total land in our cities for trees, grass, and housing instead of parking and overbuilt-roads 🧵

Good news: Acrobat and Reader now natively support Microsoft Purview Information Protection sensitivity labels with View, Print, and Encryption control just like Office documents. (Previously RMS/AIP/MIP) learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purvie...

😬 have never had any specific interest in men, but this just sent my Kinsey score just crashed through the end of the scale like a DJ slapping the fader.

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

On this day in 1985, the city of Philadelphia went to war against its own citizens. I wrote about it for @teenvogue.com back in 2020: www.teenvogue.com/story/histor...

It's a moral outrage that we're the only industrialized country without paid family and medical leave.

The mood on the ground in Tennessee today.
