This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Success! #whamageddon

“I now find myself comforted less by the songs of my childhood and more by the music I came to love as a teen and young adult,” radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. “I still have fond recollections of my childhood, but I also have a kind of newer nostalgia.”

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

This is what they voted for.

Why do these articles never ask the basic question of "does the president have the power to do that?" because the answer is obviously and clearly no.

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

“In effect, Trump took to the airwaves, pointed his finger, and said: Quiet, piggy.” Thanks, @radiofreetom.bsky.social

They’re calling it the Festivus Speech™️ because it was just 15 minutes worth of airing of grievances

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

There should be a constitutional mechanism for removing a president. Not impeachment, something that actually works, maybe like a catapult

I agree. No one who supports Trump should be able to say "oh, I didn't see/hear about that post about Reiner."

So much senseless violence: Brown University, Bondi Beach, Rob and Michele Reiner. Devastating.

Posting stupid memes after being accused of murder is the response of a sneering, spoiled punk who has been caught doing wrong and is now daring the local fuzz to take him in and risk the anger of his rich dad—a role fulfilled by Donald Trump, in this case. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The structure of Federalism and separation of powers is brilliant and worth preserving, but unfortunately it requires a critical mass of serious, well informed citizens to maintain. No power structure ever devised can resist a stampede of idiots.

Thank you @scalzi.com for a wonderful LitChat with @jaxlibrary.bsky.social and San Marco Bookstore - great conversation!

Is there a way to buy a peerage these days? Because I would contribute cash money to get Sean Dunn named the Earl of Sandwich

Abby Spanberger will now be governor of Virginia, Mikie Sherrill governor of NJ. I wrote about both of them, and their friend group, last year www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Someday soon, they're going to ask Mike Johnson who the Speaker of the House is, and he's going to say "I don't know."

Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This was published one year ago. Everything is, sadly, true today.

The Ontario ad is accurate. Heck it is Reagan’s own words. Reagan was a free trader. Very different from Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

New in PN: Trump shits on us. Why doesn’t the media care? "Millions exercised their rights & Trump’s response was burying them in virtual feces. At best it's juvenile; at worst an ugly attack on the democratic spirit. Either way, it’s very offensive. You’d think journos would want to talk about it"

i will never understand how 77 million Americans thought empowering this was a good idea. our country was so lucky to survive his first term and he's much worse now.

The White House, and America, and the Constitutional order -- all in a pile of rubble because a petty tyrant wants to break things and remake them in his image.

The folks that freaked out over Crackle Barrel changing their sign, don't seem to have a problem with the East Wing being torn down.

twice-impeached president tears down significant portion of white house with zero oversight, good job america

If y’all would take a second to read past scary headlines, you’d know that not all hope is lost to save coral reefs. In fact, the authors behind the tipping point paper made sure to mention that we can still save remaining reefs by rapidly reducing emissions. So don’t give up. The reefs need you.

Explaining why he pardoned Santos, Trump openly admits crime is ok if you’re a loyal Republican

"When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist," the five-person Nobel committee said in its citation. Perfect. #NobelPeacePrize ground.news/article/nobe...

It seems bad that the U.S. dollar has lost over 10% of its value since Trump took office. Maybe the president should do something about that?

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Update from Portland: supplies running low. Please send fig jam and artisanal cheeses. For the jam, prefer GF, vegan, small batch, processed by a guy named River, who only stirs it during Mercury retrograde.
