Great moments in U.S. History.

Ppl on this app will genuinely doompost "WE'RE SO FUCKED" like a mantra 10 times a week, call it activism, and then wonder why it didn't fix anything

There's a lot of talk about how these times reflect who ppl woulda been in the past w/r/t, say, who woulda been a Nazi vs. who woulda run a stop on the Underground Railroad, but less discussed is who would have DEFINITELY been like "The Court ruled in favor of slavery, we're doomed, stop trying"

Im really surprised @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social @london.gov.uk has this in the side of his float in #PrideInLondon after Labour shamefully abstained on a motion calling for protection of trans people yesterday. This is insulting to trans people after what you did.

here’s ur 4th of july reminder that there are 575 federally recognized indigenous tribes in the USA- on top of the fact there are hundreds more that are not recognized and are still fighting for sovereignty to this day. yes, this is stolen land. no, a foreign government will not define us.

I know yahoos gonna yahoo, but I will never understand the allure of setting off fireworks IN THE DAYTIME It is 3 PM and SUNNY, ffs

wife attempted local 4th of July 5k, reports no MAGA paraphernalia and a white boy whose red white and blue chest paint read “LOVE DEMOCRACY HATE RACISM” again, this is Montana

I was sent this as a #GiftArticle & it’s actually fascinating. Highly recommended, for my French historian peeps or anyone! 🗃️ www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The local parade goes right by my house and includes live gunfire ('MURICA). My dog has spent the whole day hiding in the bathroom. The best part of my day was seeing that my friend the empanada-truck guy sold out, and getting fresh donuts from the Unitarians.

this is so funny bc like its also a/the father's job to understand what his son needs, rather than what he asks for this is like being asked to sit up all night with a bb gun drinking beer and hitting your brother and your father is like or you could do you chores

Charlie, enjoying her holiday

It's like... they're galloping forth to Join the Great Space Intros of TODAY I feel like Leonard Nimoy should show up in a TARDIS after

Also throwback to July 2022, when I both a) adopted my writing assistant Fiasco and b) saw this tweet and said "Oh!" in a mildly scandalized voice

Adding to @adamserwer.bsky.social's good point, Miller describes those fit to belong to the US as "inheritors of western civilization." This fig leaf lets him deny ethnicity is the determinant. From my dive into Miller and the idea of a civilizational charmed circle: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

oh we got flyovers today too I guess not like i wanted to actually relax on my holiday 🙄

This is how I feel about waterparks. Never been interested. Plz do not invite me. (Har har, only like 4 of you know me IRL anyway)

Me, to the sourdough starter: Feeding time! SSt: feeding time, feeding time! Me: tasty wheat and water! SSt: love it! Yum! M: now I want you to get big and strong SSt: yes! Happy eating food! M: so I can kill you with fire and eat you. SSt: yes! Happy and strong! Wait wut?

I'll say this until I'm dead. The whole conservative project has been about the conversion of public spaces to private ones, ones where groups can be excluded all in the name of individual choice. And if you hear the phrase "tragedy of the commons," you know who you're talking to.

lol half a day later, analysis done www.worldweatherattribution.org/fossil-fuels...

Reminder for those with young animals that these next few days are good days to feed treats during loud noise time to help them learn not to be scared.

I ride my bike a lot, and I have Seen Some Shit … but the sheer -commitment- required to just keep driving on what is obviously a bike trail blows my mind. Everybody makes mistakes but like … reverse? Abort?

The third one down in the illustration. The classic Chicago "dragged through the garden" dog. Mustard only; ketchup gets one ostracized. I don't think anyone knows why, either. That is my hill, whereupon I shall plot my demise.

I never thought I'd get into foot pics...

Excerpt from the diary of Thomas Cranmer. 3rd July, 1533.

This boy is cultivating mass. 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds) to be precise. His penchant for traffic cone destruction: he's peeling off his old coat. Elephant seals do a "catastrophic moult" where they lose their whole outer layer of skin in big patches. Peak performance, Neil. Carry on, lad.

Zapp's and Dirty potato chips are being recalled for salmonella contamination. This is a Class 1 recall, the most serious. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

But he did visit the US in November to hang out with one of the most famous abusers of women in the whole world and a man who had a journalist killed. Cool dude. www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...

(texting the devil) hey man are you bringing your eggs to the function

Still one of the best things written about him but really about corruption in sports generally, puts so many pieces together in brilliant ways.

This is an evergreen tweet that is both specifically true and generally true when anyone shitty dies. (Hey there, Henry Kissinger...)

We just released the unofficial America 250 shirt! This event is no moon landing, but we still think history will remember it as a certain milestone. www.raygunsite.com #raygun #American250 #GreatAmericanStateFair

i really need more information about the stage crews they've been using

this is a brand new sentence

Flips chair around: you know, kids, what's hotter than Trump's Great American State Fair? That's right. The flames of hell. And you know what the only thing is that can cool those flames and keep you out of the fire? That's right, the waters of baptism.

Friends, please share widely!! My union is fighting hard for a new, fair contract, and we need all the support we can get. Our library is the heart of this city, and the staff are, to put it bluntly, being shafted right now. Please help us fight!! #UnionStrong

Church politics are wild, because this is the second time the Lefebvrites have been excommunicated, and it's not because of the Nazi the stuff

“have a country” here means, of course, “live in a white ethnostate”

Helen Lewis implying that watching to deliberately incorrect and harmful propaganda is the same type of exposure to human reality as having your gay neighbour take in your parcels. Thing is, guys, she is both malicious *and* stupid, you don't have to choose.
