just sayin’

hey quick question why does a bit of disk goo encroaching into my nerve space at L4-L5 equal a deep stabby knives feeling behind my fucking calf who designed this shit

were you concerned that perhaps your books were not [checks notes] savory enough

why the fuck are we in a timeline where some dumb fucking worthless incel-ass takes come up on the tl every fucking day

The Trump regime wanted to give King Charles one of President Eisenhower’s swords. The head of the Eisenhower Library objected and suggested a replica, since the swords are owned by the American people now. The Trump regime got pissed and the head of the Eisenhower Library has now resigned.

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this: Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

Oh, man. After reading the article, what it actually says is that an historian did a lot of archival work and spatial research to determine the site of a killing and then the family of the likely perpetrator stepped forward with photographs to confirm identity. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Oscar-winning actor and progressive activist Jane Fonda has relaunched the Committee for the First Amendment, a free speech initiative originally spearheaded by her father, Hollywood icon Henry Fonda, in response to the rise of McCarthyism in the 1940s. on.nbcboston.com/HvVc58L

The perfect encapsulation of Politico. "Of course the White House is lying, but it's a pretty savvy lie, so let's see how it plays?" It's all a fun little game with no stakes to them. It's like they're recapping episodes of Real Housewives.

Rather remarkable that the Trump administration response to a government shutdown is "let's inflict as much pain as possible on as many Americans as possible"

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

You’d fire a human for having half that error rate but sure let’s boil all the drinkable water to power AI

that is a weirdly satisfying boom-whoosh-tink

the thing about this plan is it requires Americans to visit govt websites and I have some news about that bit

I wish Dem leadership were as relentless as my chin hairs…

I regret to inform you that I pretty much called it.

when you find out that not only is jkr a trashy virulent transphobe, she also basically lied about her “poor” origins to leave out all the people around her who kept her from true poverty and has spent this entire career crying about living like a normal person… whew. she’s always been rotten.

Republican President Republican Administration Republican-controlled Congress Republican-controlled Senate Republican-controlled Supreme Court The Republicans control it all. The Republicans own it all. Learn it. Say it. Often.

uuuuuUUUHM YES HELLO HAPPY SPOOKY LAKE MONTH

Some rare and remarkable processes are taking place this week, that we are not likely to observe for a long time! These 2 Atlantic hurricanes are closer than any since at least the 1960s. They are now connected - in each other’s orbit, pivoting. Follow along 1/

"Though we control the House, the Senate, the White House and the Supreme Court, our inability to get a budget has nothing to do with our own incompetence but in fact a handful of Democrats."

In light of today’s absolutely fucking deranged “I’m in a war movie” speeches by Trump and Hegseth, I give you the plaque at West Point.

(solemnly) You've had mail.

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Today's speech is exactly what one expects from someone who flounced from the Individual Ready Reserve due to his white supremacist tattoos

we were all like "wow this is alarming and unprecedented gathering of the military leadership, what horrific power consolidation move are they going to rip from the nazi textbook" and it turns out pete hegseth just wanted to lecture them for an hour about wokeness and flex his gym bro muscles??

The bees have discovered Brutalism

As long as Fox is on the airwaves the US will be in decline.

This is probably the death knell for BioWare and its IP. I hope the people affected by the inevitable wave of layoffs land on both feet.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

the fuck you make me is strong but I also need october to go well so FINE I GUESS

if giada de laurentiis has zero haters know that I have died

The snark and the memes are giving me life

we really fucked up letting brands use the internet like people

📜 FLOCK OF FABLES; a formline bestiary 🐉 (🔁) #formline #indigenousart #telekitneticart

Republicans run the White House, Congress and Supreme Court on the principle that the only role Dems can play is bailing the GOP out from facing the consequences of their own actions. They expect Dems to clean up after them and save them from voters’ blame, and sadly some Dems want to do just that.

okay, you win, you successfully trolled bluesky, we’re all annoyed now

iams healthy weight cat food out here making commercials body shaming garfield the cat

Diabolical!

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

That those in the military aren’t loudly and emphatically refusing to be deployed into American cities to stand off against their fellow citizens is really fucking disappointing, to make a massive understatement.

Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. (1/2)

This has had me chuckling to myself on and off since I saw it 😆

Morning walk

You can say a lot about how much Bluesky sucks but they tried to cancel Dril here and are accusing Darth of suppressing free speech so you know we are COOKING WITH GAS
