GOOD

As a Pitt fan, I'm glad to see him use his platform as Dr. Langdon to speak out. Student debt is crushing people whose only sin was advancing their education. The system is broken—and the Trump admin has made it worse by jacking up loan payments by hundreds of dollars a month.

I am probably going to finish THIS KINGDOM WILL NOT KILL ME tonight and there is no sequel yet announced and I shouldn't have done this to myself

GOOD

The real death panel was Mike Johnson's House majority.

Excuse me what

Much like the laws criminalizing abortion they had ready to go as soon as Roe was overturned.

Every historian worth their shit that studies fascism & domestic discord is so funny because they’re all the nicest people alive & they all come to the same conclusion which is that yeah you just gotta kill these guys. Can’t leave one alive.

get in loser we're getting Reconstruction right this time

people fucking died for the voting rights act. to wave it away with a magic wand is just so grotesque

I know a lot of people disagree with @jamellebouie.net over this, but I agree with him. And there's two words for why: Epstein files. Trump is breaking the law by holding them back, so you have cause. But also it's politically the smartest move. Here's why..... youtu.be/6HXfjZX9UO0?...

It's such a breath of fresh air to see @aoc.bsky.social stand against gutting our tax base.

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

a good name for a horse would be Kris Klipclopperston

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

Seeing that the Comey indictment was filed in the Eastern District of NC, I think it’s worth showing what that district looks like. Would very much like to know where the grand jurors came from.

sorry is Charles doing the WHCD roast????

We live in a world where Trump can post this, but James Comey apparently gets indicted for laying out some seashells saying 8647 and then apologizing and deleting the image.

lmao @ sammy boy

Go off, Chuck!

The Comey indictment isn’t an “uphill battle” for DOJ. It isn’t “questionable.” It isn’t debatable. It’s an insane abuse of power, and it isn’t remotely close.

Finally, some good news: workers at Hachette are unionizing, and you can sign an open letter of support. This is the way! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

not important but the ghost of William the Conqueror would like a word

The reason the Rudin section is 1st chapter in BID (after intro) is because I wanted everyone to understand the "norms" of Rudin's operation were not just tolerated by those in power, they were *celebrated* & copied by many. The Rudin style was not treated as a cautionary tale but as a *template*

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

You really cannot overestimate the level of status trauma a lot of white Americans experienced at the election of Barack Obama and how much of our politics is still influenced by it bsky.app/profile/beau...

If you didn't catch the reference, Obama teared up describing the murder of teenaged Trayvon Martin by noting that if he'd had a son, he'd look like him. So naturally this racist piece of shit is mocking that.

It's a bummer when creative people who've accomplished a lot prove they're not all that devoted to illuminating truths *in real life* -- esp deeply awkward uncomf truths... . I wish some would just admit that jobs matter more to them than other humans being treated with dignity. It'd be more honest.

When doing research for Burn It Down, my book on patterns of exploitation & abuse in entertainment, it was sobering--no, demoralizing--to read, every few years (for *decades*) a "Scott Rudin in a changed man" feature. Relying on Rudin & people who wanted to do business with him for that narrative.

not sure if gets more Empire In Decline than a disastrously unpopular mentally decayed president — who different people of notably different political stripes keep trying to murder — as he is badly losing a horrifying foreign war he started on a pack of lies, won’t stop obsessing over a “ballroom”

there is something genuinely clarifying and useful about this kind of stuff. they are totally hoods off and proud of it, which means we should not hesitate to describe them accordingly

Some pretty crazy stuff that somehow didn’t make it on the air.

I admire Laurie Metcalf so much as an actor, getting to see her live onstage when I lived in LA was unforgettable, and I just do not understand why she's doing this.

I really wish Laurie would read @moryan.bsky.social's book BURN IT DOWN and then explain what she thinks she's saying when she says Scott Rudin "...talked about his therapy, he apologized, he owned what he said, he reflected on it...”

Last week, there was a mass shooting in Mike Johnson’s hometown. Afterward, Gabby Giffords – a Democrat who herself survived an assassination attempt – tried to meet with Johnson to discuss gun reform. He refused. Days later, a gunman tried to breach the dinner he was attending.

Clickhole-ass headline.

Can't stop singing this to the theme of the Muppet Show

Just print this out and paste it all over gas pumps in their states.

the only good thing that came out of the whole debacle
