this Elon Musk plot to steal your 401(k) money is really going underdiscussed

People have their reasons for staying there and I want to be very clear that I think every single one of them is cope

my baseball crank opinion is that i would find the savannah bananas exhausting after like five minutes. throw the dang ball already

it's awesome that money is speech but only sometimes and for some people

I am willing to be proven wrong in my Luddite ways but it seems like at this point we should have seen a short film or song or book made by AI that’s genuinely good, it feels like I’ve heard people squawking that within six months it’s coming for at least two years

Nasty

For the first time in 4 years, the White Sox are at .500 after the first week of April. s/o whitesoxchartguy.

gestured towards this in my column today but republicans seem to have adopted this idea that the partisan lean of a state represents some mystical General Will such that the south isn't just a place with republican voters It Is Republican and no democrat has a right to serve within its borders

one point i wanna highlight from this, cuz i haven't forgotten things from previous dem campaigns. in 2016, hillary had "expand medicare so people at 50 could buy in". 2020, biden had "expand medicare so people at *60* can buy in". 2024? medicare expansion as a policy is *gone*. dems got *worse*.

really funny that sean duffy’s big plan is just road rules

Georgia's governor signs a comically transparent law. It makes local elections in 5 big blue counties nonpartisan, to give GOP candidates a chance to win without a party label in places like Atlanta. And it doesn't change anything in the rest of the state, for red counties to know who's GOP.

feel like one of the (multiple) reasons people still argue with this is they know, consciously or unconsciously, they have basically no influence on the party, the party is almost sure to tell everyone on the left to eat shit again, so they get mad at people they do feel like they can influence

It’s very obviously Since U Been Gone

“Asked by CNN whether taxpayer dollars were used for Duffy’s individual travel, the Department of Transportation spokesperson said that celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, including through “The Great American Road Trip,” is part of Duffy’s official duties.” — www.cnn.com/2026/05/09/p...

Every time someone states what ought to be, people rush to the mentions to explain that it won't happen, and now I am talking to those people, and I want to be very clear: YOU are the reason it won't happen. Every time you say that you are taking energy away from "should" and reinforcing "is."

went birding today

mortal kombat 2: pretty fun!

Ah, ok. So the Court is saying the Virginia redistricting measure did not win by *enough* to go into effect. Interesting and not at all wildly corrupt and unfair.

Absolutely outrageous Virginia Supreme Court invalidated redistricting referendum approved by the voters when voters haven’t been able to weigh in on a single gerrymander passed in red states

So basically, red states (TX, TN, LA, FL) are establishing a new Jim Crow in real time but Virginia cannot fight back? Unnerving and devastating.

One reason Republicans are banning books and classes on race is because reading even one book about Jim Crow or Reconstruction makes it clear that they are hoping to reinstate segregation.

no to antidepressants, yes to skin cancer: we're not here to tell you how to live your life, we just want to help you end it

This guy rules

The mayor of Maplewood, NJ, Vic de Luca moved the town’s primary election (he’s on the ballot) to a location named after him. That’s underhanded as hell, what a dirtbag

A friend asks: “Has it occurred to anyone that the MAGAs think you have to show IDs at restaurants because they’ve been eating all their meals at strip clubs? This isn’t even an unreasonable theory”

When Jeff Landry was elected he said one of his goals was to "bring the city to heel." State politicians despise New Orleans but also want to control the wealth it generates.

Louisiana is both banning Black people from having representation in Congress and banning Black people from serving in local office, both by law. De jure discrimination is back and unfettered.

i’m ready to get hurt by the sox again

if we're disqualifying everyone who had a sloppy steaks at truffoni's phase, that would remove about 90% of american men with thick, black, slicked-back hair from the political process. it's completely ridiculous. i'm worried the baby thinks people can't change.

Literally every single thing that comes out of every single Republican's mouth these days is a promise to institute the most toxically unpopular things imaginable. It's like nothing I've ever seen in my life. bsky.app/profile/head...

yuppppp

This is interesting because it challenges two widely held political assumptions: 1) that people love it when everything at the supermarket is at least $8.99 and 2) that the easiest way to win voters over is to go on TV every day and say that you need to build a big event space or you'll die.

i was told by john roberts and sam alito that racism is over so i won't worry about white republicans in the south jumping over themselves to end black political representation wherever they can

When the $400 million in private "donations" are shockingly no where to be found.

gotta get this republican out of office

the thing about the ballroom is that trump very clearly wants the white house to be a kind of living tomb where he doesn't ever leave

i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

Ah... in reality, Amal was trapped beneath the rubble but still conscious, literally speaking to her family, while Israel fired on rescuers for... six hours to ensure there would be no reunion.

I will never stop banging this drum: these people don’t want to change your mind. They want to have an outlet to be obsessively antisocial and mean online that lets them think they are being virtuous

Nothing to worry about, just the Heritage Foundation publishing an article on how the Republican Congress can refuse to seat Democrats www.heritage.org/election-int...

I need a karaoke video for Dale hollow’s dancing on my own

He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.
