I watched an old speed skating video recently where the commentator said, "The Japanese man is going very fast!" and was delighted when that's what everyone was talking about in the comments

Imagine a place where leaders stand firm and refuse to “negotiate” a so-called drawdown that doesn’t reduce federal overreach, but relocates and entrenches it—and where there is no such thing as milquetoast Dems bargaining away our future for a midterm their own cowardice makes unlikely to happen.

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

I've been thinking a lot about when my dad first handed me a shotgun and said, "Don't point this at anything you don't want to destroy."

I was just saying to Portia that it is a 4th amendment violation. It's driving me nuts that no one is really talking about how unconstitutional it is to be bashing through people's cars and pulling them out through the window

This is all so hard on the heart. It was good for this non-artist to spend some time with the images.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

I’m tired of being talked down to by people like this. They are doing the Elon Musk Mars In 2 Years bit but have tied the entire U.S. economy to a bespoke compliment generator. It’s time to start talking about these AI mutants like delusional babies.

These headlines try to distill the rambling into talking points and completely miss the larger context of Trump delivering an unhinged diatribe in front of the rest of the world.

we've crunched the numbers in a supercomputer fed on half the water in the ohio river to build us a nonsense dinner plate no one wants to eat and tell us it costs roughly 30% more than it actually does

Tech is spending so much money developing robots that humans will find sympathetic, without realizing they already peaked with the Roomba.

I can't believe he left the chat.

Change in Headline

Can someone please help me understand what happened with Pressley/Comer today?

Lasagna Popcorn Doughnuts

Just a presidential candidate making a speech the last day of a long campaign — his eyes hidden in shadow, his voice raspy — promising to hurt the nation if he wins. No big deal. Pretty routine actually

Let's make bluesky as excited about content warnings as we are about alt text

Ethnic cleansing is now the stated goal, but Trump’s desire for unchecked power to implement it requred creating an all-purpose boogeyman, an existential threat only he can fight. The fiction, fear and falsehoods about non-citizens are being used to take power from citizens.

Just noting that it was easier for Richard Spencer's speechwriter to get on cable news than it is for literally any transgender person

every single woman has met a JD Vance and he has tried to debate her into dating him and she has spent the entire time hoping he never finds out where she lives

"Hey has anyone stopped and asked why it is we need to suddenly fire up all these old power plants for a budding Industry that hasn't even developed a profit model yet? No? Just me, huh?"

God I've been on Bluesky all day and I don't feel good about it but things won't stop happening

You can submit a public comment to tell the feds to regulate these oversize trucks

This is the clearest indication yet of how much more extreme Trump of 2024 is than the one of 2016 or even Jan 6. Arbitrarily stripping people of citizenship is essentially a refinement of MAGA into its most nakedly fascist form. It's a declaration that you only have the rights Trump grants you.

Look, he is the actual Worst Person, but wishing PTSD on someone or delighting in their suffering with it is not it.

I'm delighted that this is one of the most liked skeets I've seen.

JD Vance’s signature achievement as Trump’s running mate so far is whipping up a pogrom against his own constituents

What do we have to do to cut the length of campaign season by about 90%?

Good questions, good mods.

I've been concerned that he's actually presenting well, if you're into that sort of thing. But he's getting progressively louder and unable to control his outbursts. Yay?

Shopping for fabric to keep my blood pressure down and wow there are some beautiful colored knits out there.

Imagine preparing to moderate a presidential debate and knowing you're going to have to fact check things like "people kill babies" and "people eat dogs."

Bacon!

Someone tell JD Vance the true purpose of the post-menopausal woman is space exploration.

Hey ceasefire, mask-wearing Jews- what are we doing for high holidays this year?

This weekend I was in a shop (masked) and a guy nearby me coughed without covering his mouth. Then he made eye contact with me and apologized. I'm still thinking about it.

What upsets me most about this is that I'm someone with plenty of time and a car and decent insurance and comfort navigating my insurance portal and I STILL had to be turned away at the pharmacy and then chat with a rep about where to go. So many obstacles. They don't want you to get vaccinated.

My first skeet, as foretold by the elders
