Oh my God, not a subtle but pointed statement with their attire! How will Trump survive???

if ever a sentence needed an "allegedly" it's that one but I guess that only gets deployed as a crude libel defense

of course, the weird orange make-up was just sandtrout all along

"The 60s were a wild time for the CIA. When they weren’t dosing each other with acid or trying to use exploding cigars to kill Fidel Castro, they were exploring other novel approaches to espionage, like Project Acoustic Kitty." 😼🐈‍⬛🐈🕵🏼‍♂️ #CatSpies #CIA #ColdWar #CatsOfBluesky By @thawking.bsky.social 👏🏼

well i'm sure that nothing at all bad will come of blowing up the Ayatollah

obv no one expects Twitter to be anything other than Nazi bullshit in 2026, but even so—but there's not even an attempt at a citation for this "millions" claim here. nothing. just magical thinking and a determined adherence to never having fun, ever

bad bunny is a generational talent, that was awesome, and the people whose minds are too narrow and clenched to appreciate that are sad cases.

better question: can 30% compounding interest ever be anything but predatory and morally wrong?

guys everything is so bad

or i might not

taking Napoleon syndrome to its most logical conclusion

Fastest way to make someone anti-cop is to have them encounter the cops in practice

dear god this place is so fucked BUT for any Australians sitting at home feeling all smug about how this could/would never happen in Aus: it could and it may well do

They’re trying to cover up a murder that is playing on a loop on every phone.

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

this is also why Hegseth is going after Kelly so viciously. the last thing this administration wants is for anyone to be reminded of the fact that you don't have to—and, indeed, are morally obliged not to—follow illegal orders

this is maddening, but it also shows how rarely your average person has interacted w police etc. cops do this shit ALL THE TIME

This is also why authoritarians in both parties are so intent on censoring social media. For decades cops murdered with impunity and the press repeated their lies as fact. Now everyone can document abuse and instantly share it with millions of people. That makes those in power scared. Good.

Would love to know how Ezra Klein-style high-ground liberalism, where you're meant to give your political opponents the benefit of the doubt, is meant to function when your opponents are murderers

@swajones.bsky.social hey just to say that was a really lovely piece on Cecilia Giménez

It’s real now. www.youtube.com/live/zj4hZVx...

"No Way To Prevent This," Says Company Spending Billions Of Dollars To Encourage This

there's something here about how liberals are more interested in remote hypothetical scenarios that COULD be bad than they are in real-life happening-right-now things that ARE bad

Barely a blip in the news. 🦗from the New York Times editorial and opinion pages. Compare with days of Hunter Biden Hysteria about unprecedented abuse of the pardon power.

one thing i will never like about American humor is the general assumption that "louder/more manic/etc" somehow equates to "funnier". stop fkn shouting at one another for the love of god

maybe the lost revenue from these two-day Tests will force Cricket Australia to do something about these fkn pitches

great unanswered questions of our time: how on earth are England sending a kid who's never scored a first class 100 out at #3 on Boxing Day? why is Root not stepping up to bat first drop??

genuine shivers watching replays of Warne's 1994 hattrck. these moments stay with us, don't they

ugh, Head with the classic late career Mark Taylor dismissal

it's -7°C outside, there's a snowstorm rolling in and i'm in bed watching the cricket. if 2026 would just continue like this, we'd be best friends
