Of course the conservative SCOTUS sided with a gun owners

Will not happen in this election, I guarantee you!

"Iconic reporter" better toughen up! I am no fan of Kim K, but seriously - roving reporters need to take the effusive with the reticent! How is he "iconic" compared with Kim K? Then he meanders off to find Michael Douglas "who really knows his motor sports". www.news.com.au/entertainmen...

i can’t talk to my mom today (advanced Alzheimer’s) but she found a way to talk to me as usual

"Dokoupil wrapped up a segment on Venezuela by suggesting it serves U.S. interests if it means the influence of China, Russia, and Iran is lessened in the country." A news anchor said this. Based on nothing.

If you watch closely, you'll see they're doing this opposite an actual funeral procession.

And this is exactly what I think when I pass you to avoid you, Tesla asshole

I DONT CARE ABOUT HALF OF THIS (ITS FINE IF YOU DO) AND I DO THE REST OF THIS FOR WORK WHAT ELSE CAN WE TALK ABOUT Y'ALL WHAT ARE WE ALL COLLECTIVELY PASSIONATE ABOUT

it makes total sense to me that sports and politics are the thing most americans can relate to, or at least reliably talk about, with most americans but good lord i am eager for the day these things also include, like, what thickeners are best for soups.

fewer than 1% of the human population will ever get to type a comeback as contextually devastating as this

Literally just. Fuck you. Fuck you man. bsky.app/profile/jvl....

Uhhmm….A LOT of us did??? And we screamed and screamed and screamed and screamed at you?? The GOP literally *wrote it down* into a point by point playbook called Project 2025 that outlined every single one of these things?? MANY many people had each and every one of these things “on our bingo card”?

Everyone knows the best way to deal with an authoritarian is to quietly say “come on, man.”

haven't seen Andor yet but I absolutely co-sign on this Michael Clayton rec. perfect movie

It’s hard to communicate how much free time people had to fill before the Internet, but this is a good place to start.

I think babies dying in their sleep is bad, and research to prevent babies from dying in their sleep is good. Sorry to get so partisan, and I apologize for offending any pro-life people when I say that babies suddenly dying in preventable ways is bad, but that's how I feel.

send some thoughts out to ya boy who just had this happen to his (now flooded) kitchen the night before he's moving

this morning i read a discussion on why it's actually ok to give honey to babies, but that we should all be avoiding riboflavin. learned a lot. about why i should not check instagram comments.

i am sure the people who comment under vegan recipes on instagram will be very normal about this discovery.

Prince being able to do the greatest guitar solos in the world when it’s maybe the fourth most notable thing about him is pretty funny. It’s like if Lebron just out of nowhere threw a javelin farther than any human being in history.

Me: [texting from car] "can you come out?" Daughter: "yeah, give me a minute." [texting bubbles] Daughter: "mom, I'm bisexual." Me: "I know that silly. Can you come out to the car?" Daughter: "Car, I'm bisexual."

I will 100% take “procedural that fucks” www.avclub.com/leverage-red...

Absolutely

Don't make me root for the drug cartels

And, a prompt response from the defense

A lot of the architects that started this ball rolling to unquestioned Republican power never took one off-ramp since Reagan. They kept pushing, kept subverting and created American authoritarianism. Watching them act all concerned now is a bit infuriating.

Can someone please let me know when it’s time to take my money outta the bank and sew it into my mattress k thanks

honestly? like. honestly? okay, hear me out,

Finally some leadership

There’s a quote from film critic Leonard Maltin where he said when he was younger he was emotionally attracted to other human beings who were clever but as he ages he’s more and more emotionally attracted to people who are kind, and I remember thinking you corny ass old man but now I get it

This seems the best place to ask: would anyone have use for @timcyclesthecoast.bsky.social’s panniers? He used a front & back set up and I’m sure he’d like to know they’ve gone to a good home and facilitated someone’s future adventures. We’re not asking for money, just a donation to Mind.

Any planes in the air MUST RETURN

Los Angeles pre-EPA and Los Angeles post-EPA.

Yes, I grew up in pre-EPA Los Angeles County. All us kids knew “chlorine smog sickness,” sharp chest pain upon breathing after going swimming on smoggy days. For days on end you couldn’t see the mountains. Some people thought the mountains weren’t there.

Live your life in such a way that over half the country isn't rooting for your death.

We didn’t watch

Present day 18 year olds were born in 2007. No reason I just wanted to ruin your day.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

On today’s agenda: desperation.

all these people need to be exiled to an island where they can live out their fantasy of mitt romney being the 2028 democratic nominee

Today I felt the way I did on 9/11 and 1/6. All are unique and have different levels of horror, but all have that same sense of foreboding dread for our country and the world. In all cases, I knew things would never be the same again. Evil must lose. Always.

Just a reminder that yes, trauma changes the brain, but healing changes it too. You are not doomed to be forever imprisoned by the worst thing that ever happened to you ❤️

there have been so many SURPRISE BITCH moments I'm expecting Grijalva to emerge from under one of the seats

One definite theme of the lower-my-taxes chainsaw massacre is career government employees who saw being apolitical as a job requirement are suddenly finding themselves very politically engaged and enraged.

GOP leadership is calling them back for a vote. My post is unchanged though -- we have expected this vote will pass. Republicans have a majority. Every single moment that this gets delayed is meaningful. This vote is just the start, and we're only going to get louder.
