seeing these smug bastards having to experience how everyone feels about them brings me so much joy

The Internet is disappearing before our very eyes and it’s why we should all support that absolutely critical work of @archive.org

This is how every other country imagines life in America

Anti-trans extremists are trying to undermine the science of trans healthcare, but in Boston this weekend the passionate activists at Protect Trans Futures made it clear they couldn't get away with posing as experts without pushback. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Libs and leftists are gonna be pretty humiliated when it turns out shutting down global trade, collapsing your own popularity, eliminating your medical research base, and causing a global energy shock as you alienate your military and strategic alliances, is actually the path to National Greatness.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

welcome to my crazy podcast. my guest today is the united states government

Excellent work by @samblum3.bsky.social Be like The New York Times and read eyeblack (dot com). Happy Jackie Robinson Day. www.readeyeblack.com/p/reviving-t...

I see people arguing that Tucker Carlson et al have simply come around to a 'left-wing' and 'pro-Palestinian' position. No, they have not. They are simply mining a long tradition on the American far-right and using anger over Israel to promote antisemitism. There is no good outcome from this

Masayoshi Takanaka, who sold out the 3,000-capacity Masonic with resale tickets going for upwards of $300, is one of the best examples of a renewed interest in the sounds of 1970s and ’80s soft rock from Japan known as city pop.

I can’t stop looking at this one of a kind Ferrari-powered 1984 Sbarro Super Eight on auction right now

Somehow these drug-fueled revelations make people nicer to inanimate objects than other people

what next? what, are we gonna provide *roads* for the wealthy too? gonna have health inspectors keep contaminants out of their groceries? are we just gonna have gutters and sewer systems around rich people's homes?

The first one is just the plot of Kingdom Hearts

politicians get off twitter challenge

when you’re arguing about politics here on bluesky just remember there’s a young sheldon spinoff called george and mandy’s first marriage that’s watched by millions of people

I mean Pat Buchanan actually is antisemitic - he denied the Holocaust - so if you are trying to argue that pro-Israel people are too overzealous in labelling criticism of Israel as antisemitism, Pat Buchanan is the last person you should be citing.

every leftist i know is very excited about technology but unfortunately they want tech that improves society and makes people's lives easier and that's harder for wealthy prdophiles to build a trillion dollar industry bubble around

LOGIC - Sometimes a kebab is just a kebab.

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

Twin Peaks: Agent Cooper evaluating coffee. It’s damn good.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

It is no coincidence that so many of their targets are women.

Fruttivendolo (Roma 1964) by Edouard Boubat

"Environmental Insurrectionist" is a great example of how the right can only learn new words when they're being used to accuse them of crimes and then they only learn their meaning well enough to turn the accusation on their enemies

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work. Really depraved shit.

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

If you think the elections in November are going to fix this you are delusional. Every year, regardless of leadership, ICE’s budget went up, every year our borders became more violent. This is an escalation yes, but a chapter of a much longer novel.

"Get the principals on camera" is such a telling phrase here, because it tells us that for Weiss there's no world in which the victims of these horrific actions can actually be seen as the subjects of the story: They're background noise, and the people who matter are the ones sending them.

Happy Birthday, Alan Moore

this world now is almost nothing like i would want! i would like being generally honest and scrupulous to be valued. i would like art to be a kind of human communication. i would like it if police weren't brutalizing my neighbors. i would like affordable coffee, stable meaningful work for people

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization
