It feels like too many people have the mindset that "I can act however I like as long as I'm right" and if anyone doesn't listen because you're being too much of a jerk, it's their fault for being too stupid and emotional to look at the substance of your argument

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.

These days, when your @maximumfun.org newsletter arrives & the subject line starts with "Trans lives" & this is the first article You know you're supporting a group of good people. (While getting great pod like @greatesttrek.com & @flophousepodcast.com )

when some people choose between a weekly injection or daily pill to regulate their hormones so as to align their body with their desired appearance i guess it's no big deal

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

I love 🇮🇸ICELAND🇮🇸 and I super love the @eurovangelists.com podcast. It’s one of my favorite shows (and I don’t even follow Eurovision!)

We’ve caught the Christmas spirit at Eurovangelists, so @alexschmidty.bsky.social of Secretly Incredibly Fascinating joins us to talk about Icelandic Christmas covers of other countries’ pop hits. It’s a long-standing tradition that’s yielded some great holiday tunes! maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

We were dead and now we're the hottest country in the world, the first country—quite frankly the only country—where a box of breakfast cereal costs $11. We're saying Merry Christmas, and also the r-slur, and we're getting back to saying "gay" so it means "stupid" again. Grown-ups are doing it now,

this is completely delusional

Never forget the time in 2020 Charlie Kirk (dead now) pretended to be a black guy on Twitter but forgot to switch accounts when giving himself a nice compliment.

Listening to this week’s #SIFPod, and yes, 20/15 vision is real. If i remember correctly , it means you have the visual acuity at 20ft that the “average” person has at 15ft. Which is to say quite good vision. @katiegoldin.bsky.social @alexschmidty.bsky.social

I did it! I wrote about hunks again. It's FREE. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

Fascism in general is obsessed with aesthetics above all else, because aesthetics dictate reality for them. They will actively make themselves less capable in the name of looking the exact image they desire to project, and angering the exact people they want to anger.

I think it’s so nice that David Bowie and Bing Crosby, two brilliant singers with nothing in common, could somehow put that all aside and come together to sing two completely different songs that have nothing to do with each other.

In today's FREE article, @alexschmidty.bsky.social is covering the literary adaptation of The Emoji Movie. It's mostly "an insult to films and books and emojis and the idea that we owe each other anything as human beings," so I'm sure you'll love it. 1900hotdog.com/2025/12/nerd...

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
