Don't need to imagine, Sinatra had something to say about multicultural liberal democracies 🧵

I'm once again politely asking Bluesky developers to allow us to attach multiple photos and videos in one post.

Donald Trump is a pedophile.

“The coconspirator email, which reveals that at one point [Jan 2020], prosecutors and agents in the Southern District of New York believed there were 10 potential Epstein co-conspirators.” ~ @joycewhitevance.bsky.social And Mar-a-Lago received a subpoena for records in 2021. 👀

A country that had begun to make progress in believing women is regressing. In this environment, it becomes more and more difficult for victims to come forward, which means that the people committing crimes against them are going to get away with it. Again. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Since September, both Japan and Ukraine have been involved with SHIELD AI.

Information and Analytical Center “Militarnyi” is a public organization of like-minded individuals who have united around the MILITARNYI.COM portal and is based in Kyiv. militarnyi.com/en/news/asia...

Dec 21, 2025 Shield AI took its drones from the ‘Batcave’ to the battlefield. Now the $5.6 billion defense-tech startup’s new CEO says it’s at an inflection point James Lythgoe, a former U.K. Royal Marine who Shield AI’s managing director of Ukrainian operations.

Japan’s defense budget sets a new spending record for the 12th straight year amid mounting regional threats; A “$58 billion defense budget for fiscal 2026, up 9.4% and focused on long-range missiles and drones.” This includes $6 billion, plus an additional $3B, in reparation loans to Ukraine.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Jesus is not everyone's savior in the United States.

always after he explained what he believed as a Jew, he was barraged by emails from concerned students asking why he didn't believe Jesus was the son of God. And he said, "Well there's a very simple answer to why I don't believe Jesus is the son of God." "Because he's not."

That privilege--the privilege to speak of your religious beliefs as certainties that are incontestable--is given to Christians alone in America. And anyone else knows this and tiptoes around it, reflexively. But what if we stopped doing that, like this guy did in North Dakota?

Measles is PREVENTABLE.  This outbreak is the result of anti-vax conspiracists like RFK Jr. undercutting proven science and putting entire communities at risk.

Dec 25, 2025 Martin Scorsese: ‘Rob Reiner Was My Friend’

“They have to be under your control so you can comply with your Brady obligations. And certainly Todd Blanche, who was in charge of this whole matter, was a former assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York. He should have known that. So they had to know that these were there.“

Former assistant special Watergate prosecutor @nickakerman.bsky.social weighs in on the “newly discovered” Epstein documents. He calls bullshit (my word, not his) on Pam Bondi & Todd Blanche’s lies.

A couple local MAGA diehards went on @foxnewscorporation.bsky.social to lie about Sierra Madre’s float entry this year, this mooks made quite the stretch — the float is in honor of all the firefighters who helped saved their homes last year and all the pancake breakfast fundraisers held.

Mentioned here: “Pasadena’s Brotherton’s Farmhouse, which debuted in 1937 and served comfort food like fried chicken, braised sirloin tips, fried young rabbit, stewed chicken giblets and calf’s liver and onions for more than five decades.” They served fried chicken liver as well. Yum

I lived in Sierra Madre in 1976/77 & part of 78 — worked at Brotherton’s Farm House Dinners during the Rose Bowl parade one of those years. Wild. @tamaraciocci.bsky.social 🎄♥️

Love this: “Everything parade watchers see on New Year’s Day should be edible, otherwise you’ll get dinged by Rose Committee judges. “If you can see it on a float, you can eat it. If it’s not a fresh floral, you can eat it,” explained Jungbauer.“

TY! 💛 Espec: Many researchers studying AI warn that tools such as ChatGPT, if overused, may promote dependence on technology… Equally if not more concerning is the risk of metaphysical laziness—delegating challenging existential tasks to external tools instead of learning and doing them ourselves.’

And NOONE should have to wonder WHY, when their biggist success was the theft of data - the gov't data haul was the literal Holy Grail of the surveillance state and data capitalism wish list, ore valuable than gold, the biggest theft in American history.

In the news business, we call this a “puff piece.” It’s about the Ellisons, an “intriguing partnership,” according to the NY Times, which seems more impressed by people’s bank accounts than anything else. The Ellisons are buying up media to prop up a dictator. That’s the news. 1/4 🧵

Great thread to clear up quotes taken out of context.

I love aphorisms.

OPINION by @zeeshanaleem.bsky.social: “It’s hard to assess how much DOGE succeeded at what it set out to do. But we do know that it never even came close to achieving its absurd goal of saving $2 trillion.” READ MORE: www.ms.now/opinion/doge...

According to @nytimes.com, 13 of the Trump-appointee Musk’s DOGE largest claims about budget-saving cuts were all LIES — and government spending actually went UP!! Thanks to @housedemocrats.bsky.social & @democrats.senate.gov, we‘ve known that to be the case for awhile.

HUR reports operators from its Prymary unit “Ghosts” conducted a precision raid in Crimea on Xmas. Confirmed targets: • S-300V launcher, a platform capable of intercepting ballistic missiles. • Buk-M3 system • Redut-221 command & control vehicle, • RSP-6M2 precision approach radar system.

Oct 9, 2025 American Support for Legal Immigration Reaches New Heights “Record or near-record numbers of Americans support increasing (28%) or maintaining current levels (49%) of legal immigration, while opposition to legal immigration is at an all-time low (21%).“

That might’ve been the case prior to 2023/24 but clearly every study since early last Spring says otherwise. eduaid.net/americas-shi...

“Mr. Miller’s hard-line stance comes at a moment when the public’s views on immigration are shifting to the right.” @haleaziz.bsky.social what’s your source for this assertion that the public’s views are “shifting to the right“ on immigration?
