This strikes me as pretty bad

Hard to tell that anyone on Bluesky has actually listened to Sarah McBride on Klein's podcast, who basically said all the same stuff he's arguing for.

Conservatives will champion an omniscient police state before considering gun reform.

Too much liquid. It's well known that humans contain very little liquid. We just can't handle any more. I drank a glass of water yesterday and almost died.

Loins win

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

“That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don't want the best for them.” —The President of the United States, speaking at a memorial service

Good to see Republicans toning down the divisive rhetoric

Dutch late night TV has its take

Hot take, apparently: Being off social media is a good thing actually, at least in Ezra's case (Noah just isn't on here).

I think this point is far more important than we realize. The fact that we consume completely different media showing us completely different things is a huge driver of division.

I won't quote-tweet our main character of the day, but if your complaint is that Charlie Kirk's words are being taken out of context, I'd encourage you to skim through the Media Matters tag for his name. They have hundreds of posts about Kirk and most have longer clips that give the full context.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

It is a tribute to our dysfunctional information environment that right-wingers can basically commit 99% of the domestic terrorism, for *decades*, and that simple fact never penetrates to the public. They pay zero political price.

Trump on the Oval Office: "You see the way this is looking. I can't tell you how much that gold costs. A lot of money. This beautiful office needed it."

it is incredible to see the extent to which the Sensible Centrists are simply incapable of grasping the very simple and obvious fact that the president's concern with crime is a pretext, and that to deny claims of a sudden epidemic in crime is not to say that crime is nonexistent.

Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony. Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.

I’m sorry, this is just a terrible frame. The last two decades of progress were real and immense, and they’re being undone because authoritarian reactionaries have seized the government, a terrifying collapse of the liberal order. This wasn’t some predestined endpoint of “neoliberalism.”

It is endlessly amusing to me that all the stuff I used to argue about when I was getting a philosophy degree -- consciousness, the nature of cognition, brains in vats, zombies, chinese rooms -- has made its way into the center of pop culture. All the sudden qualia are hip!

Well this doesn't look great

Lemme just say if President Bernie Sanders had unilaterally imposed, by executive fiat, hundreds of billions of new taxes, personally browbeat executives about job cuts and investments and then fired the head of BLS, the Chamber of Commerce and the business orgs would not be sitting idly by.

This is going to get worse

Ah well, nevertheless

I’m not an activist, but as someone who reports on people who are, I see some activists sneering at people who are late to a cause they’ve fought hard for. Surely the point of activism is pitching to the centre to make change? Not alienating or mocking those whose minds you surely wanted to change?

Recent research comparing acute pain and chronic pain finds that in chronic pain, your nervous system loses the ability to turn down pain signals. www.rolfingsimichigan.com/post/acute-p...

Whoops Don't ya just love live TV?

Wow

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

“It depends if you look Hispanic.” From Forbes: www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

I remember a political science professor I had said the political spectrum in America is so narrow compared to most countries. He's not at all extreme. Even some failures could teach valuable lessons.

Not just an issue with women

We’ve got secret police black bagging people and sending them to gulags, the scary parts of communism are already here idk what these people think a public grocery store will lead to bsky.app/profile/jame...

Won't somebody think of the business titans!?

6/21, Los Angeles: A neighborhood volunteer documenting ICE was stopped by agents in an unmarked car, surrounded, and threatened by masked agents while they filmed him on their phones.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Australian reporter Lauren Tomasi was shot in the leg with a rubber bullet by an officer in Los Angeles:

Problem is it's training on its own BS.

Breezy day

After Tapper saying the coverup for Biden was worse than Watergate, this will be a 1-day story.
