Anyway, which party is the one that “hates America?”

from here on out in my book (emphasis on out), he shall be know as the $50,000 Strong Man.

Farm workers move rapidly in the field to harvest hundreds of boxes full of parsley throughout the day. #WeFeedYou Los campesinos se mueven rápidamente en el campo para cosechar cientos de cajas llenas de perejil durante todo el día. #SoyEsencial

Hocker gets it done, after DQ in the 1500. signature kick to gold in 5k!

I put Disney in Yesterdayland. Disconnected Disney because Disney is Disconnecting Democracy.

I just put Disney in Yesterdayland.

This IS NOT what democracy looks like. This is what Thugocracy looks like.

Disconnected Disney because Disney is disconnecting our democracy.

Keep at it folks 👏 #canceldisney Kick these a$$h@les where it hurts.

I don't quite know how to couch this...But Takei certainly does!

This will be called the Joke Scare era.

Do they all grow long beards and move in with Letterman now?

Or as the NYT translates it: "A bold departure, charging into territory other politicians have been too timid to explore"

Peter the Self-Emancipator is one of the greatest Americans of all time bar none, and today's segregationists spit on the gift he gave us by permitting the Union Army to take and spread his photograph.

Me and Kristol (!) can both declare: trans rights are human rights are american rights.

Exactly like with the assassination attempt on Trump, the right has decided to ignore the actual identity of the shooter and instead pretend that the entire left end of the political spectrum was behind it. Their feelings don't care about facts.

Training for a marathon w/Garmin Me: phew, that was hard, my last long run. At least I must be getting fit! Garmin: yeah…um, that was hard for you on the inside.On the outside, it looked pathetic. You did enough for us to call it “maintaining” Sort of: you’ll be slower than we thought in the race

If a tired traveler asks you for directions to a town you know to be 2 hours of windy roads with many turns away, you don't say, "Pretty straight shot, just keep going & you'll get there." You give them the directions they'll need, which begin with an accurate description of the road they're on.

stay classy

"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers,

remember they are the divining right.

"the project of the modern Republican Party — is the destruction of his republic of equals in favor of a so-called homeland for a select few."

Yesterday's Supreme Court decision endangers our communities and subjects people to immigration stops simply because of the color of their skin, occupation, or the language they speak. This fight isn't over. Our right to live free from racial profiling is fundamental.

Slightly diminish a book: The Middle-aged Man of the Sea

SCOTUS: We hold these truths to be self-evident: racial profiling is Constitutional, so long as it's something Trump wants

He may not be dead, but he has become death, destroyer of worlds.

Pete's got it up as DOW, or DUI. gov?

republican presidents are so good for the economy, and the working person!

And he finds it "hysterical" that some of us pointed out the 1488 code in Homeland Security's post of Gast's American Progress... www.thebulwark.com/p/bizarre-dh...

The full speech is here...astronauts on the moon! Daniel Boone! Pilgrims! The telegraph! Lucky Lindy's trans-Atlantic flight! Taming the wild frontier! Jesse James! Manifest Destiny! Mt. Rushmore! All wrapped up in an extended version of the 14 words! www.dailysignal.com/2025/09/02/s...

last i checked, the way to make babies was not, actually, rocket science

I don't think SCOTUS-granted immunity/royalty holds up at the Hague

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

"Presidential Medal of Licentiousness"

The stereochrome mural is Emmanuel Leutze, Westward the Course of Empire, in the US capitol. But I can't remember, for the life of me, where I read an analysis, with this diagram and discussion of the ship on the SF bay...Anyone recognize it? 🗃️ @cjslaby.bsky.social @mlobelart.bsky.social

Re-upping for labor day, with another outtake: These are the roots of what Trump is casually spouting today when he says "they do it naturally." In fact, farm workers are skilled workers, but not because "nature made them that way." To get a sense of the astonishing bsky.app/profile/us.t...

Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art

And how about the man calling for this, who represented a 10k square foot penthouse as a 34 k, among other baloney?
