In stock market news today, Campbell’s Soup (CPB) rose more than 5% on news that people are eating a lot more of their soup. I wonder why?

One of these weird things the brain does — I thought, it’s probably not “Eee-lon Musk,” it’s probably more like “Ellon.” And immediately created a new moniker, “MuskmElon.” 😂

I’ve been away; did you miss me? I got so burned out over the traitorous one that I had to hide from news and politics. We are so fucked. Executive orders are quick. The courts are slow. Besides, who will enforce court orders on this guy? The US Marshalls answer to the Attorney General.

This guy gloating that he can get away with anything

Bummed that the US is about to inaugurate the disaster President and we have to go through this shit again four years.

I’d have a hard time picking too.

In the 1950s-‘60s the average worker could afford a house, two cars, and raise a family. I remember this. I remember when a house was $10k and a brand new car was $2k. Read this to see how we got where we are now.

I have no illusion that this will happen — but it *should* happen.

This article is for thise who appreciate word-smithery. ‘In Esquire, Mark Warren plumbed the cruelties of our digital age: “The story of the internet is of tribes hurling rocks over the horizon at targets they cannot see, doing damage that they do not care to measure.”’

Such important work the new administration wants to do, ya www.alternet.org/denali-trump/

Happy holidays, if you celebrate or take festive time off, enjoy and be well

“Strict non-engagement” with the Republican administration, that’s what we need for the next four years.

In He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named’s first term, Dems resisted right away. This time, many have a wait-and-see attitude. That will not work. Fight!! www.politicsnc.com/p/dont-give-...

There’s nothing like stepping outside of your own little world to give you a fresh perspective on your own little world. Go to Portugal and talk to an Uber driver from Bangladesh about what happens when a government turns anti-immigrant. That will get you started.

If Elon and Vivek are looking for cuts, they can start with Trump's 3-day weekend trips to Mar-a-Lago, which cost taxpayers $1.3 million (almost every week) from 2017-2020. Today's cost will be closer to $2 million per weekend.... that's a lot of bread.

There are some big accounts I just *have to* follow. But when I see someone has 350k followers & they follow only 12, that doesn’t sit well with me. It’s not egalitarian. So listen, big shots, follow everyone who follows you. You can Mute them if you don’t want them in your feeds, but follow back

45 is going to France? Isn’t that bail jumping?

That is 11,665,150 US citizens. We have that here on BlueSky. Take it to the f'in streets people! bigthink.com/the-present/...

“The film thematises brutal and irrational authority. Writers and scholars have argued the film reflects a subconscious need in German society for a tyrant, and is an example of Germany's obedience to authority and unwillingness to rebel against deranged authority.”

This is going to shock some people but I don’t put up with people being assholes no matter who you voted for. Way too many people are too comfortable being jerks to total strangers like I have an obligation to take your shit.

We are talking about everything that’s wrong, and in a sense, that’s a form of action—only if it’s heard by those who have the power to change it. #NoMoreSilentMajority I’ve decided that every business day I will call my Congressperson and my two Senators—make it a habit like brushing my teeth

“We can decide to become ungovernable in a system that wants our compliance more than anything.” #Resist

Trump signed an agreement to let DOJ run background checks on his nominees. WE make a difference. #Resist

You get 20 extra characters on Bluesky which is great because it means, when you copy your old tweets into Bluesky you can always add “THUS SPOKE THE LICH!” to the end and it will still fit.

When one considers the two murderers responsible were acquitted by a jury of their (all white) peers, it's not a stretch to understand how easy it must be for people like that to vote for FelonTrump.

I’d love to see men organize a Men4Women’s Rights March. Show up y’all. Clap back against this ugly misogyny that poisons it for all of us. #womensrightsarehumanrights

Yes. Yes, he is.

Remember this little SCOTUS decision? This will apply to ALL federal agencies. And since it will be Blue states suing, it won't be Trump friendly judges. How A Recent Supreme Court Decision May Have Already Hamstrung RFK Jr.'s Big Plans www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr...

The Charles Kushner nomination was an insult to France. 🇫🇷 (Please forgive us, Trumps an idiot).

Well done for telling a Jewish gay guy that their dislike for the lazy transmute of tweet to skeet instead of thinking up something new for a new fresh platform is the same as the paranoic hatred that dreamed up the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Classy. Well done.

“‘I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.’” www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/u...

Good morning Bluesky! It’s going to be super-important to get EVERYONE calling your US Senators to say, “I want you to not allow recess appointments. I want you to insist on FBI background checks for all appointees.” Put it on your calendar for Monday and set yourself an alert! CALL, don’t email.

Wonder how Republicans are going to spin this statement from Pete Hegseth’s OWN MOTHER. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/u...

Just want to show everyone that Democrats can be nasty too. This guy attacked me personally because my opinion was different from his. Reporting and Blocking. Hate to so it.

Serious question, please don’t answer if you haven’t been doing this a long time. When should I use Mute instead of Block? If I Block someone do they get demerits from the platform? Is Mute kinder, or just useless?

Think about that. Trump is a convicted felon himself.

#ENSHITTIFICATION (Macquarie Dictionary) 🧵 “the gradual deterioration of a service or product brought about by a reduction in the quality of service provided, especially of an online platform, and as a consequence of profit-seeking.” THIS is what happened to Xitter. It’s been enshittified. 1/
