What makes Ossoff’s confrontation so compelling here is his emphasis on how Trump’s makes anyone who wants to work for him publicly degrade themselves. We need more of that. Ask them why they’re willing to humiliate themselves for a fragile, 80-year-old bigot.

It’s really a great question because it immediately reveals whether someone is unfit for public service. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I think I gotta agree, McShane is just tremendous in “Deadwood”

The Oz Diet™️ (diarrhea)

always so weird to see political arguments about assimilation when my mayor is from Uganda and loves liberal democracy and my vice president is a "heritage American" who doesn't know what the 14th amendment is

the food safety stuff is another reminder that a large, huge, gigantic part of being a republican is going “lmao why are we spending money to prevent horrifying disasters from happening if they never happen 🤪”

MLB is like the Democratic Party in that they’re deeply concerned about popularity and all their actions seem to be aimed at capturing some mythical person who has never become a baseball fan and will probably never become a baseball fan meanwhile baseball fans are yelling PLEASE JUST PLAY BASEBALL

My idea for a show about an intense war of words on the right wing everything app fraught with sexual tension is now in development. It’s called Tweeted Rivalry.

Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?

An unfathomable clean air act violation. I worked in this exact field for years, including in oil and gas, and i still can't get over how wanton and obvious this crime is. Just stunning

If federal law enforcement officers are permitted to shoot people, cite vague concerns for "public safety," and get away with it, we're headed for a really dark place.

Every smooth-brained centrist can start apologizing now.

this is the closest ICE has ever come to saying "yeah we just murdered a guy"

fucking crooks

I've seen enough and believe the national average price of gasoline will again reach $4/gal in the next 7-10 days, if not sooner. oil now up nearly 10%- I'd expect price increases of 15-45c/gal (depending on price cycling state or not) in the next week or so.

Bryce Harper has addressed the FanDuel video with an Instagram story

this is the actual story in this story: the "manly man" PR pitch an "operative" made to this writer apparently worked www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

Time magazine passive voice about ice shooting someone in the head and killing them

It’s very funny that all indications are that an adaptation of Homer could be one of the biggest movies of the year with both critics and the box office and this is universally interpreted as a catastrophe for the conservative right because they’re poisoned themselves against culture

Live your life so that the morning after your passing looks more like Sam Neill Day than Lindsey Graham Day.

ICE shot someone in the fucking face in Biddeford, Maine this morning fuck ICE forever my heart goes out to their friends and family. maine is like a big small town and i’m from that area. there’s a nonzero chance that someone i know was affected by this. i’m just so mad. ACAB and FUCK ICE

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

Live your life in such a way that when you die people *want* to say nice things about you, rather than feeling obligated to do so.

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill

You write your eulogy in life. If you want people to mourn, make your life something to celebrate. If you want people to celebrate, make your life something to mourn.

Captain Hook:

I actually think it’s important for society that we start telling people to their faces that they are illiterate

Every single senator has killed more people than any random guy from your city doing 25 to life, they just get to do it in a way we have all agreed makes it not real for some reason. We're governed by serial killers!! www.welcometohellworld.com/the-rube-gol...

I think of a reporter asking how Anthony Bourdain could patch things up with Emeril Legasse but still hate Kissinger & Bourdain replied "Emeril didn't bomb Cambodia"

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

There was some "ugh lefties are pre-complaining about liberals giving condolences for Graham" this morning, but everyone's staff wrote up condolences for him when they woke up so once again the lefties were just correct in advance

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

As a US politician you can routinely call for, and use your considerable power to vote for and agitate for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people around the world and it doesn't count as killing them for some reason. A person who does that is not a killer for some reason.

lindsey graham won't see your jokes and memes because he got diarrhea and is in hell now, but someone writing an op-ed titled "the left's problem with manners" might. So make them really funny.

Peanut butter sandwich

i stand corrected

Live your life so that 2am Bluesky doesn't start a block party upon the news of your death.

Memphis is under siege from the federal government. This is hideous.

“fucked up, I am. feel like my head is made of suckers, I do”

Not the use of the word "detained" here to make it appear as though the settlers have some legal capacity to be doing this. If i ran up on a US Rep with a rifle and prevented them from leaving it would be, correctly, described as kidnapping; and doing so with political ends would be terrorism.

nice, france

Ahhh. Friday markets now closed. Time to act like a fucking lunatic until Sunday night when it will be time to calm the markets before Monday morning opening…
