Loved loved loved I Want to Burn This Place Down, a collection of essays by @maris.bsky.social. Her essay on Copaganda was particularly insightful and infuriating. Must read.

There’s no nice way to say this: promoting anti-vax bullshit while kids are dying of vaccine preventable illnesses is tantamount to murder, and should be treated as such in the media and the courts.

I invite any MLB owner to open their books and show the public how much money their teams lost in 2025. They won’t, because it’s a lie. No team has EVER sold for less than it was purchased for. Do not fall for crocodile tears from billionaires who are already getting a Trump tax cut!

I should be watching Pluribus or The American Revolution but I’m watching the World Series. Again.

Crying at Ronald Reagan bearing silent witness

The misogynistic fucks in the admin are trying to make it so that grad school certifications in female-dominated professions (nursing, therapy, education) no longer count as “professional degrees” & you can’t get loans to go to grad school.

Absolutely not, Real World.

Kenny Rogers is a triple stumper. “I need to take a moment to just feel old.” @kenjennings.bsky.social is all of us.

Don't forget about LA. The feds never left (& won't be leaving until at least 2028). The people will continue to fight. * data below as of November 1 from @lapublicpress.bsky.social

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on? Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

can bad prose be sexually transmitted

I’m watching the Ken Burns American Revolution documentary on PBS. It feels like essential viewing.

admitting to statutory rape to own the libs

Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

Shohei Ohtani is the second player to win consecutive MVP awards and World Series. Let’s make it a THREE-PEAT!

The Northern Lights FOMO is real. I guess we’ll just have to settle for great weather and the Dodgers.

Inflation is still a problem. The $1 pizza slice joints in NYC are now charging $1.50.

I have finally perfected my IG algorithm: World Series highlights and dogs. Truly living my best life on the ‘gram.

Call in the troops to solve the commercial real estate crisis in our swanky downtown cores You can’t make this shit up, folks

New: The Supreme Court DENIES Kim Davis' request to overturn Obergefell, the marriage equality decision. No noted dissents. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

I don’t watch the NFL but I met friends at a bar between Broadway shows and this shit is on the tv. We all booed.

Fuck all the way off with putting the fascist sex abuser on during the game. ALL THE WAY OFF.

My friend’s husband who leans more conservative was shocked to learn that I know “reasonable” (non-socialist) New Yorkers who could not vote for Cuomo and voted for Mamdani. SHOCKED!

Being in NYC and Long Island this week is interesting. I’m absolutely dumbfounded by the discourse I’m hearing about the mayoral race. There is little to no mention of Cuomo as a truly despicable and vile candidate that many could not support. You cannot talk about the Mamdani win without this.

Someone posted they “could not mustard the courage” and I’ve been laughing about it for hours.

Doing my patriotic duty as required.

Life achievement unlocked: the first person to reach the restroom at intermission of a Broadway show in New York City. This will never be topped.

Do. Not. Poke. The. Bear. Proud to be a Californian. Proud of my state for fighting back against authoritarianism. Proud of Californians for understanding the assignment.

I will say it again, the best part about Prop 50 is that California did it with the power and the confidence of its people. Texas did it in secret, away from public view and from the orders of the thug rapist in the Oval. Fair maps for all, until we have a Congress that represents all of us.

EAT MY ENTIRE ASS, TEXAS

Tonight is a good night to tell every Republican to fuck allllllllll the way off.

At LAX waiting in the TSA Pre line. TSA agent: “This is a calm space. Please be nice. We are working without pay.” I thanked him. End the Republican Shutdown. Release the Epstein Files.

When I left here last Wednesday night, the Dodgers were down 3-2 and I really didn’t know if I’d be back here before next season. WELL HERE WE ARE CELEBRATING THE BACK TO BACK WORLD SERIES CHAMPION LOS ANGELES DODGERS.

When people ask me how I’m feeling after Game 7, I’ll just send them this pic of Doc. Doc is all of us.

Moved my therapy session to tonight due to Game 6. Therapist: "Hi Amanda! How about those Dodgers? Congratulations! What a series!" Me: "Yes! They won and all my problems are gone! I have no more stress or anxiety! See you next week!" If only it really were that simple.

Dodgers saving Will Smith through the season (with Rushing) and then him getting injured in September saved his legs for the epic performance and allowed him to catch all 73 innings.

Doc kept putting Scott out there so the Dodgers wouldn’t have home field advantage in the World Series because bizarrely that is a *disadvantage* recently. Truly the master of the long game!

Teams trailing entering the 9th in World Series winner-take-all games are 3–33 Wins: 2025 Dodgers 2001 Diamondbacks 1997 Marlins The Dodgers are the only road win

Dodgers are the first team to come back from winning an 18 inning marathon to win the World Series.

For the 6th year in a row, a player named Will Smith has won the World Series 2020 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers 2021 - Will Smith (RP), Braves 2022 - Will Smith (RP), Astros 2023 - Will Smith (RP), Rangers 2024 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers 2025 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers

Favorite stat: Dodgers 4-0 in 2025 World Series games started by George Springer.

Congratulations to the Blue Jays on an amazing season. Other than a certain leadoff hitter, a team full of good dudes who can really play. I am absolutely expecting many more postseason runs. This was an epic series. BASEBALL!

YOSHI IS A GOD AND THE DODGERS HAVE WON THE WORLD SERIES.

WILL SMITH YOU ARE THE KING OF BEL AIR.

First 9th inning comeback this postseason!

MIGUEL ROJAS OF COURSE

The dogs are not happy about the loud noises and the pacing.

I am both about to throw up and also about to pass out. Do not recommend.

The Varsho catch will win the Jays the World Series.

Baseball is an exercise in pain and futility and absurdity and yet I love it so much and will miss it terribly.
