Now that’s what I call censorship

CHOTINER: This game you like to play, what's it called? ME: Slay the Spire. CHOTINER: And you play it on the computer? ME: Yeah. Well, I also have it on my phone. I played another 300 hours. CHOTINER: And these other games in your Steam library. Have you finished them? ME: Now hold on a second,

Christopher Lee stabbed Nazis to death I wish he had been the King of England.

Say what you will about transubstantiation, at least it's not as embarrassing as the rapture poppycock.

Really loving the idea of removing clerks, hadn’t known it was a button to press

Make them ride circuit. Cancel a Supreme Court term. No more clerks. And strip jurisdiction.

No clerks. No building. No budget. No shadow docket. Ride the circuit. 25 justices, with 9 chosen by lottery. We will treat you like petulant children until you stop ignoring the law, Constitution, precedent, Article I, voters, & the plain meaning of words. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Nope. Don't like that. Overruling Humphrey's Executor would be a huge blow to the independence of the bureaucracy. I know this isn't as sexy as other disasters in our polycrisis, but there should be enormous urgency to constitutionalize an independent, non-political administrative state.

Picturing Merrick being dragged to the camps screaming “according to 18 USC sec…you can’t do that…fuck that hurts”

Every day Merrick Garland reads the news like a baby bird encountering the edge of its nest for the first time before cautiously backing down. "Golly, I didn't think you could do that," he says, watching shrikes impale his siblings to feast upon later.

i can never get over the monumental arrogance of john roberts, who sincerely believes in his soul that the next democratic executive will allow this court to put them back in the box when this is all over, 70 year old man who still believes in santa claus

They rush when they want to rush and they slow walk when they want to slow walk and it’s an ideological decision always in either direction.

neurodiversity is Good Actually. just want to say that

The Khan is the only one I've seen who gets what kind of situation we're in on a real level.

the Pope should excommunicate the Vice President

A lot of politics of this era is breaking ancient truces and assuming that the other-side won't fight back

There is no university that can hold the crew I need, so I'm out here with y'all, in the new Republic of Letters

Not exactly new for anyone who has read "Jesus and John Wayne" (2020) but it is striking how the project here uses Christian language and imagery in service of a religion of father-lordship rather than chastity, charity, prudent, temperance, kindness, diligence, etc.

I hate how fucking hilarious he is when he desecrates both civil religion and the true faith at the same time without even realizing he's doing it.

ask yourself this: if they're willing to order the murder of the crews and passengers of small vessels navigating in the Caribbean with no due process or apparently even evidence, and then proudly publicize their deeds, what does that suggest about what they are prepared to do at home

Damn Luttnick really is just Gary Cohn with a traumatic brain injury, huh?

Not just media execs. Congress is also divorced from what people want right now. Dem leaders are also subject to a propaganda and harassment campaign. Look at how many of them and their preferred pundits are still on Twitter. And the 3M+ NoKings protests didn’t register in their media sources.

We're +570%.

One of the wild things that you’d think would get more discussion than it does is that the idea that “woke” was a fad and that now everyone wants to do the exact opposite being promoted in the media implies that the people saying this were completely fine with having utterly fake values

John Roberts's "there's no such thing as corruption" and "the president has the right to use the DOJ as his personal law firm" jurisprudence is really working out well for us.

Merrick Garland was the most useless AG in history.

merrick garland you bitch

Merrick Garland is gonna go down as one of the biggest failures in 21st century political history

this was summer ‘24… MAYBE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE SOME HEADLINES ABOUT THIS IN THE FUCKING FALL OF 2024, MERICK. MAYBE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL.

Though I realize this is in part because tech oligarchs are modeling themselves after it, it’s like how mobsters acted different post-GODFATHER

the feds had tom human dead to rights on soliciting bribes but forgot that corruption is legal for and encouraged by the trump administration

this makes sense if you understand "moderates" to be compulsively "in the middle of whoever is currently in power" as opposed to actually believing anything

The Khan is swift as a flash of lightning across the steppe

I love this website because multiple people independently see Ender connections in culture. That’s the real blueskyism.

toxic boyfriend ass hegemon

wait is this actually the source of the idiot h-1b policy

Does anyone else use the phrase “he’s normal” or “she’s regular” as a kind of insult? As in “Bob is just regular” or “Susan is Normal”

Abundance is dead. Its really difficult to see how something that requires support from entire Dem coalition works when its two biggest boosters (Klein and Thompson) only care about appealing to Ben Shapiro and Richard Hanania

“Colonialism” as used in contemporary left wing discourse is basically not a concept or a coherent idea at all. The fact that people have elevated this non-concept to an evil on par with racism, anti-LGBT bigotry, and sexism (and, usually, treat it as worse than the last two)is a plague on discourse

here's an article about the thing that every moderate on bluesky was telling me wasn't happening www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

we are going to win

Chuck Schumer is a menace and threat to our country.

We gotta start a social movement that 75 is too old for political office. Yes it’s ageist, yes some people can do the work past 75, but there must be a line

Remember when people said this wouldn’t happen

Covering his hand again, we’re getting close to the 24th, so new bruise soon?

the H1-B thing seems unlikely to withstand a court challenge, but it's still deeply funny that it's basically a nuclear warhead aimed at businesses and executives who've been grandiosely and publicly kissing his fucking ass for nine months

This. I wanna fucking win. I want the fascists ground into the earth, and that land salted.

The Imani Gandy incident tho demonstrated a real white blood cell response on my timeline to a previously dominant kind of leftism. Seemed like a rejection of that kind of Post Obama Voice in which Identity based claims about real or hidden knowledge “true truths” were privileged.
