if you’re a high military officer and the president orders you to nuke the western alliance and destabilize the entire globe by giving you a literally deranged order to invade Greenland, I think you have a greater duty to perform before god and the world

in 1939 the fascists of the world threw down a single massive bet: that the free people of the world were as weak as they imagined us to be. that we were nations of shopkeepers, who would fold at one touch of the armored gauntlet from truly hard, deadly, motivated, manly men. pic unrelated.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

brunch is empty, and all the wine moms are here

Seems ICE has killed more people than illegal immigrants since Trump took office.

Yet another thing we're leaving behind with Woke 1. In Woke 2, fascists that break the law go to prison.

All LEOs should be tested for steroids and it should be treated like a positive cocaine result.

“the central divide is not left and right; it’s people who are mean to me and make me uncomfortable vs people who are nice to me and make me feel good. i am a serious intellectual btw.”

this is great for bluesky but how do i turn off UK localization

Tyler Cowen: "I do hope [Greenland] falls eventually into U.S. hands" And I still read him because he's still the least stupid guy on the right I can find.

i know people like to clown on this place for some of the absurd behavior witnessed on here but it really doesn’t hold a candle to tiktok, where some random guy with a large following is claiming that i stole “abolish ICE” from him, and that no one had said it prior to like 2024.

Just gonna say yeah I think it's antisemitic to protest outside of a synagogue and chant "we support Hamas here," like that is in fact a threat of murderous violence.

People who stop taking statins have heart attacks, people who stop taking contraceptives get pregnant, who could have fucking guessed

This is why I think Bari what's her name over at CBS is doomed. She'll be like "OF COURSE we're not in the tank for the president, WINK WINK!" and Donald will be like "Why is this disloyal bitch winking at me? Throw her in the gulag and replace her with Tucker."

Another image that sums up the protest.

trained police are allowed to react with unpredictable lethal violence and untrained civilians are obligated to behave entirely predictably to the threat of lethal violence

I saw Goody Proctor using Claude Code

yeah the feds shot a husband and wife at my gynecologists office. right where i walk with my kids to the train to go downtown or to buy chocolate chip cookies at the middle eastern deli where the owner gives them high-fives. i didn't hear a damn thing. i was reading The Moffats aloud

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross. www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

Very dumbed down lit review: - "institutional" landlords are more likely to charge market rate rent, and to file evictions, but also less likely to discriminate based on race, sex, or bad credit - "mom and pop" may undercharge vs. market, less likely to evict, but also more likely to discriminate

if you tried to do this in the us, you'd have a billion dollar conservative moms group lobbying against it 12 hours later and credulous news articles taking their claims seriously in 24 bsky.app/profile/davi...

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

there is strange insistence — an implicit one — that fascism must be a coherent system

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Make it viral.

Hobbes would say it is okay to overthrow Donald Trump.

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago. The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Normally morning doves are only ever seen singly or in pairs but today I saw like twelve of them hanging out together and I'm like "what are you guys up to?!".

5 years later and orange man continues to be bad

Glem is a prime example of someone who decided that nothing dovish Biden did mattered so long as Biden was still marginally dedicated to containing Russian expansionism - either a very strange priority indeed or a blindingly obvious one, depending

it is an extremely funny satire of online leftist culture for a guy to get canceled over misgendering someone while threatening to have them killed

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

My family is looking for a two bedroom to rent in the Ashby Bart area. We need a place for 9 months or so while our house is getting lifted. We're searching other avenues but I thought I'd try this too just in case.

Interesting thread and responses. Props to @dollspace.gay 👏 bsky.app/profile/maxi...

I typod "yook" instead of "yo" and thought "Is this a slur?" I was going to ask Gemini but then I realized this was one of the few cases where Grok would be more knowledgeable.

I just threw out an old set of dark blue bed sheets my wife described as "divorced man sheets". And like, yeah, I was a divorced man when I bought them. It was the right and appropriate choice.

The reading comprehension level of bsky drops by 5 grade levels for any tweet by Matt Yglesias.

Yeah I’m one of those political scientists and I published one of those (many) papers. Term limits are just bad. It’s all bad. There’s nothing good about them. They don’t do anything their proponents say they do & have many malign side effects.

personally I think if a story about an illegal war and kidnapping leaks to you should publish it.

What I propose is: we must not let them win.

"The Great Ensloppening" That's my pitch for what future historians should call this era.

This is what happens when you recklessly extend BRICS right up to America’s borders and ignore America’s legitimate security concerns.

Don't make the mistake of spending more time thinking about their war justifications than they did.

the inevitable end point of Grok is doing child porn in a poor imitation of the style of Studio Ghibli, which will cause Hayao Miyazaki to assume his final form and sing the song that ends the world.

feels betrayed by the absence of uncritical, unwavering support of Israel from the liberal multiracial coalition so it's time to get extra racist and make common cause with people who make oven jokes
