Ok, I'll bite. Why does a bed need to be internet-enabled?

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

This. I never much cared about the *moral* assertion that billionaires should not exist. It's true but never seemed like the most pressing moral failure to resolve. The REAL reason billionaires shouldn't exist is entirely practical: they're an apocalyptic-level threat.

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind

Just receieved this today from Florida Blue. This is for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premiums are going from $333 (2025) to $2300 in 2026.

Between this and Trump dropping shit in his dreams. 'Nuff said.

Perhaps the gravity of the office may yet change the man.

Okay I cannot stop laughing at this one

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

I'm aware that the Trump Administration's HHS Dept is now on Bluesky. Due to concerns the account and other branches of HHS will share medical/vaccine misinformation using #Medsky feeds, I've made the decision to preemptively add the HHS account to a Misinformation Blocklist hosted by @medsky.info.

BRAND NEW Far Side from Gary Larson just dropped

Experiencing some unilateral jaw pain, have it narrowed down to: 1. Vague memory of hitting self with unbalanced light stand 2. Bike helmet on too tight 3. Gnashing of teeth 4. Blocked submandibular salivary gland 5. The Bell Tolls for Me

Roll that terrifying bean footage.

There's a creator I've followed on most platforms @imanibarbarin.bsky.social and she says it so well. "You can use fear as a tactic, but it will only work once." If that hasn't proven prophetic over these last 9 years, I don't know what has

Wikipedia is worth $10/month because if it dies so does reliable knowledge. Cough up if you can -- it's cheaper, more interesting and morally superior to Netflix.

Good lord. He thinks Total Fertility Rates are percentages. It's lifetime number of children per woman; 2.1 (maybe more like 2.07) is stability because a tiny percentage of people die tragically before they have a chance to start families of their own. How can these people be so stupid?

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes. Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Of all the things that have never happened, this seems more likely to have never happened than most.

it's not FOR us

They look like mall cops chaperoning a high school Halloween dance. It’s beautiful.

Fear is the foundation of Trumpism. He knows that getting people to fear for their own safety activates their most primal—and manipulable—instincts. Most Americans have never seen pure fascism before. Pritzker and Newsom are 100% right to describe what Trump is doing and why.

What is "plenary authority" and why is it a big deal that Miller said that Trump has it over the national guard?

Yellow-bellied, lily-livered cowards. I want this game. Or one based on the raid of Harper's Ferry with multiple outcomes. I wish I knew one of them game makin people.

He’s such an odd case. He recognizes the moment. He’s trying things. Many of them are terrible. But he recognizes the moment which so many people don’t.

I’m no Newsom fanboy, but figuring out how to change the incentives of institutions considering capitulation is one of the big tasks of our moment.

I feel like Smaug and this post is the black arrow.

Now is Steve "Gristle Icarus" Bannon the jailed legless doctor, or the drunk dumpster raccoon?
