Someone should just stand outside the committee room with a big copy of this:

Gossip Gorn

“the Comet Ping Pong attack was nine years ago today—weeks after Trump’s 2016 win—and inspired by a conspiracy theory promoted by Jack Posobiec, who was recently invited to the White House, demands antifa be designated a terrorist group, and asked questions as “press” at the Pentagon this week”

Insert a movie into another movie District 9 to 5

It is true that the claims Trump makes about immigrants are, in fact, unbelievable.

If you’re in TN-7, go vote! Polls close at 7 PM CST/8 EST, so there’s still time! Make your voice heard & help ensure your community is being represented, not corporate megadonors. If not, help #GetOutTheVote by sharing on social media and participating in a phonebank!

GOP is mad because defending pedophiles and rapists is their signature move

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

an advent calendar with each day providing a small piece of the mystical sword needed to fight Santa when he finally breaks in

HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY

Thanks for holding that nugget until now, Jonathan! I hope your book sells negative copies.

If I, a long-married cis-het white dude, can see this clear as day, none of the rest of y'all have any excuse. Stand up and stand with our trans friends, family, and neighbors.

Absolutely true that SFH owner/car drivers killed the street car and replaced it with fake BRT that never came true … and our local media just shrugged

Finally getting some theological clarity on the ethics of reclining in one’s plane seat

Pete Hagueseth. We should make it a thing.

Two fourth and goal bail outs from the stripes. Tough to overcome that. #onepride

Being down three with the entire officiating crew buying both thumbs on the scales is pretty good #onepride

I think that it is bad that the National Guard is deployed in a city for absolutely no reason and today's tragedy could be easily avoided by not deploying the guard for made-up reasons.

The Republican platform: "Would you just die already"

"Sir, that's a mirror."

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill, Charlie Brown.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Tom Servo was even more savage

Let’s see if one single pundit who said there was some great realignment of American sentiment with this last election, based on what they saw on the Nazi-owned platform overrun by foreign actors, offers any retractions or corrections for their gullibility.

These people are deep into committing election fraud, so they assume everyone else is too "Every accusation is a confession" remains undefeated

Brandy you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my life my love and my lady Is the See

That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion

The Aristocrats

We do know who killed JFK. The Warren Commission was an incredibly thorough and good-faith effort to prove and document what had happened, which they did. The conspiracy theories arose in spite of best efforts to avoid them, but there really isn't anything they could have reasonably done better.

Just so everyone knows it was in the high fifties today in the National Capital Region

Pardoning Nixon, moving beyond Watergate, brought us his henchmen for decades. Democrats aren't being magnanimous about letting bygones be bygones. They are being cowards. Holding people you know to account takes bravery, that they lack. So we need to make them do it kicking, dragging, & screaming.

You heard him, keep your Halloween costumes handy. "I'm not drunk, this is my Kavanaugh costume"

I want to lay down a few markers here for folks as the clock starts ticking down to the release of the Epstein Files. 1) You are going to learn about a lot more disgusting and sickening things people said, joked about and maybe even did. You will likely be disappointed in someone you had admired

Selling environmental policy is always hard, because the process of improving the environment is never complete. But it’s important to note the real wins here. Acid rain has been largely eliminated from North America. The ozone layer is coming back. Smog is less of a thing.

it's funny how the initialism "DEI" gets deployed to obscure its own meaning, by framing it like a policy, like ACA, or an agency, like DHS. if you write "efforts to erase diversity" instead of "efforts to erase DEI," you're describing what Trump is doing much more clearly and truthfully!

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

Shows you how the GOP is nothing but a cult following their demented leader

The White House is objectively and demonstrably pro-sex trafficking

Roberts Court: Hold Kavanaugh's beer

The Democrats called out racist shitbags and serial sex offenders. If you heard those attacks and felt they were calling *you* out personally, then that's entirely on you, champ. The rest of us white guys didn't hear that. At all.

Yes, they're evil and ghouls, but I can't get over how galactically stupid these people are. The health care market is the canonical example of a market with severe information asymmetry, which can lead to market failure.

@buschgardens.bsky.social people would the in the path spending money if you had people selling tickets instead of 4 out of 7 kiosk broken and most transactions apparently to complicated for them

Operation Southern Sun

@joeposnanski.com @kentremendous.bsky.social ripping you off, and Christmas in Sarajevo erasure? Tsk tsk

They don't leave because it's where there is the most money to be had from the collective value generated by human beings, and despite what they insist, they don't generate wealth; they collect it.
