America

Was at the grocery store and heard three separate people with the same horrible sounding cough. Every cough was like a loud sharp dry hack or three followed by a high pitched wheezing sound coming from their lungs. Sounded painful. Might be a good time (more so than usual) to mask.

Apparently people dislike snow 😁

Took another look at the iPhone Air and I don’t get it. Ya it’s thin but it’s only 12 grams lighter (which is what really matters) than the iPhone 17 but w/ 1 less speaker, 1 less camera, and less battery for $320 MORE!?!? Cheaper, lighter, and a bit smaller and it’d be an instant buy but… yah

If Sarah Kendzior is indeed blocked on @bsky.app, this is a completely unjustified and highly questionable move. Sarah Kendzior is among the best voices of knowledge-based critical journalism in the US. See to it that this is corrected immediately and with an apology, @pfrazee.com!

@pfrazee.com why was Sarah Kendzior suspended?

@safety.bsky.app Why has Sarah Kendzior been suspended?

@pfrazee.com come on—Sarah Kendzior?

WTH @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team ? Please reinstate author and historian Sarah Kendzior. #booksky #authors

Free Sarah Kendzior.

Reinstate Sarah Kendzior

BSKY needs to reinstate Sarah Kendzior immediately. She did nothing wrong. She is a very highly regarded multiple award-winning author and researcher, and scholar on authoritarianism and there is absolutely no explanation for this. It’s outrageous.

@support.bsky.team Now

#AOC: “What makes the leadership of this moment so crucial, is about trust and cooperation — we will need to work together and as a team in order to usher our country through this very dark time.” AOC laying the groundwork for her Senate run — time to put #Schumer out to pasture

The IKEA Lack table debuted in 1979 for $9.99. It‘s price has remained virtually unchanged ($14.99 now for the original 55cm x 55cm size but a 35cm x 35cm version is available for $9.99). It’s their $1.50 Costco hotdog.

Dear @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app kicking Sarah Kendzior off this platform? Really? WTF is that all about. No explanation, just an instant turf. This is concerning. She needs to be reinstated.

For people who say they don’t do any moderating, they sure do a lot of moderating.

@support.bsky.team why in the world would you suspend @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

bring back @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

The first episode of #Pluribus is one of 2025's best hours of television. Now that it's out, you should watch it.

How did the sound designer for Apple TV’s #Pluribus miss the opportunity to use this sound every time the hive mind individuals do their shaky lockup reboot thing?! youtu.be/vvr9AMWEU-c?...

I will NEVER forgive Cookie Monster for “Cookies are a Sometimes Food”. That fucker sold out to Big Nutrition

American Democrats… oh no we have leverage and just had a big win… better shoot ourselves in the face!

Anyone know if there's any way to get the Jehovah's to stop sending you junk mail disguised as personal letters w/ hand written addresses.

Still no luck. Cart randomly empties itself. Stalls after choosing my pickup location. Or somehow I get all the way to the payment step and the stupid @#$& “Verified by VISA” code never arrives. Or maybe I miraculously make it that far and it “can’t check me out at this time, try again in 9 seconds”

This past week there was a photo from Trump's gala of a barely clad woman frolicking in a giant champagne glass. She looked like a teen. It made me think of Jane Doe-another young woman who attempted to shine a light on the darkness in Trumpland. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/trumps-hea...

BestBuy‘s checkout is pure unadulterated TORTURE

It’s the annual “try not to burn your kitchen down event“ at 3020 Monaghan Dr. Challenge level… impossible

A Lysogenic hive mind virus that causes “kernel panic reboot” events anytime ONE of the billions of nodes gets upset, resulting in millions of dead individuals, seemed like pretty flawed technology. Heckuva job E.T.

Just saw a comment saying Pluribus (new Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn show on Apple TV) is woke left wing socialist propaganda and… what?!?! So… “the left” is what… pro alien invasion hive mind? Or is Carol the woke one? I really honestly don’t know.

Waiting with baited breath for @schumer.senate.gov to tell us how The Baileys™ feel about the result in NYC

It's brilliant and exciting to see Zohran Mamdani elected. More leaders like him please, and fewer like Cuomo, Schumer and the rest of the oligarch-pleasing, hope-destroying, election-losing, right-centrist political class.

we're allowed to want better for ourselves than aging rapists and the rape apologists who support them

you can win without billionaires supporting you you can win without party leadership endorsing you you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

Literally every line of Mamdani’s speech is quotable. Best to just watch the entire thing (starting at 29:00) www.youtube.com/live/y7ysB8K...

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

“In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light.” Fuck yeah
