I saw Midsommar last night, 7/10. Creepy Swedish cats, man.

This is a great tweet, cuz save for SOME of the chicanery & prejudice I saw, I saw people of all types care about ground level work. Does the Centrist wing of the Dem party have anything for its most engaged voters to do other than “stay informed” and vote once a year?

Fallout is probably my favorite franchise. I’m behind on the show; but fans still complain about Bethesda making the recent games and not Obsidian. Now Obsidian will get a chance but it could either be rushed, or years before anything comes out

i know it would be cathartic but there is no easy button to press that will suddenly break the spell and americans have to get used to the fact that they fucked up and they will always have to live in a world where they made the president a caesar then elected donald j. trump.

The good news is I didn’t get caught up in the progressive Platner hype. He isn’t on my ballot, and the ppl of Maine will make the call. The tattoo stuff was whatever, but army guy with more than 1 SA accusation? Yeah there were plenty of red flags, some folks choose not to see them

They willfully and even gleefully surrendered and are annoyed at the great many people who didn't.

#blacksky And this is what I would say to any life long Dem that sees DSA as wreckers/unelectable/etc. At this stage in the Trump era, the “my friends across the aisle” rhetoric helps who, exactly? Which voter is saying “I really love compromise and it’s the Dems who aren’t doing it right?”

Gertrude Mossell (here in a portrait with her daughters c. 1890) was a journalist & educator. Her great grandfather, Cyrus Bustill, served with Washington’s troops during the American Revolution & helped found Philadelphia’s Free African Society. Her sister was Paul Robeson’s mother.

Prompt: Bring back the barbiturates from that one Wolf of Wall Street scene.

As America marks 250 years, may we recommit to building a diverse democracy, an economy that works for the many and not just the few, and a future where every generation has the opportunity to live a dignified life. Happy 4th of July!

Reminds me of the young Black sister in Twitter years ago who said, “where’s our good tv shows?” And I’m like, “they popped up in the 90’s, you missed it!”

incredible of playstation to announce the end of physical disc production the week after they deleted all the movies you bought digitally from your account

Wow, PlayStation is actually ending the creation of physical discs in 2028. The march towards “you’ll own nothing and like it” continues

The good thing about the entire Anglosphere becoming nativist at the same time is that, we can all just remember that it happened and let the parts of the globe that are starved for people do without

#moviesky A House of Dynamite - good, but longer than it needed to be.

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

what's interesting about this split within urban Democratic Parties is that faction aligned with the professional gentrifier class supports more generous policies for the poor and minorities and the faction aligned with actually poor and minority voters is more likely to oppose them.

On the one hand I knew it, on the other hand I was going to get it anyway. The whole GKC fight is a losing battle ultimately. I’m buying every physical release I’m interested in but a lot of good games are also coming out as Game Key Cards-RE Requiem the big example

A 40% pay increase, the right to walk off the job if federal agents (i.e. CBP/ICE) pose a threat to them *and* the contract expires in April 2028 so they can demand more ahead of the Olympics. Shoutout Local 11, shoutout unions.

There’s also no amount of money you could have paid me or threats you could make that would get me to demand Scott Pelley say Renee Good was driving toward the ICE agents when there’s no evidence that’s true and a lot that says it isn’t

A legendary Penn State game for all the wrong reasons

#wwe It just occurred to me that I have the disposable income to pay for a PPV event, but I don't even know if you can buy them separately any more, and I'm not getting another streaming service. Guess the 2 minute Raw recap will have to do

“You gotta keep your head on a swivel”

Again: there is a vengeance track in democratic politics waiting to be claimed

#Blacksky Fam is that good

That’s my appeal to rural Americans - Solarpunk independence. The closest thing you’ll get to the frontier in the modern era

Yes. Still getting through the article - but there was a story during DJT 1 of some young white guy who murdered a homeless man with a hatchet in NYC, and it turned out cuckolding porn radicalized him into hating black people. Plenty of other examples to add

I can't believe we turned "Laptop Worker" into a term of derision. We now have the tech and business models to allow millions of people to make a living in ways unthered to a farm plot, assembly line,, or cubicle. That's very cool! Do not project your weird yearning for the mines on to me.

This stuff doesn’t always get attached to climate justice movements, but it should

I’m tired of the dishonesty of this entire debate. The folks calling for “perspectives different from their own“ are shutting down Women’s and African American studies because they hate differing opinions. Marginalized folks had a small foothold, and powerful people decided to push them out.

Agree. You could sell a positive transportation agenda, but it’s going to be hard with the amount of dysfunction we’ll have to deal with

as per melissa's thread, it is really important to understand that a major goal of this administration is the resegregation of key institutions of american society

Yes. I often like to say, “it’s hard to mismanage pennies.”

We should absolutely recenter around corruption given that every local government definition of ‘affordability’ is practically synonymous with ‘slashing taxes and thus reducing services’

Picking up Vineland after a few months away from it and hoo boy that Tommy Pynchon was prescient, wasn’t he. “can’t you feel it, all the dangerous childish stupidity” Can’t you?

Do not form an attachment to this man. It is free ninety nine to not form an attachment to this guy. he is addicted to disagreement like a dope fiend and clearly lives for inane online knife fights that leaves him bleeding out hours later because of a small disagreement. Just don’t. It’s absurd.

I need to write a blog post about how sad this stuff is. Past few times I’ve been in Target, there have been 5-10 people waiting near the gift cards/trading cards aisle of the store, trying to get the latest card restocks. This mania is turning people into Poke-Fiends. #Blacksky #Pokemon

I can’t really pass that up. I’ll renew when I get home

i think we’re going to be completely stuck in these anti-incumbency cycles because our institutions are fundamentally broken and for conservatives that is by design and for democrats, well its just so hard and so much work to do anything outside the margins

I appreciate the Coke Wave era, as well as French supporting Max B, but this is a joke of a mashup

Glad that sister Nicole is on Bluesky in general. I lost a lot of good voices moving away from X #Blacksky

democrats: we're waiting for our good friends the republicans to wake up and turn on trump republicans: we're indicting james comey for an instagram pic and trying to get disney thrown off air cause jimmy kimmel talked shit about us

There was a viral clip from the Obama years - a young black sister practically daydreaming about how Obama would help her get her bills paid, and fox a lot of her problems. I wish he did those things. But the larger problem of people seeing what they want to see in politicians needs to be fixed

Event Horizon slaps as a movie

I do love the ambience of Vegas restaurants

Second in line for Eggslut, not bad

I’m in Vegas for a work trip, and as…gaudy? Luxury but also a little grimy? As this place is, I always enjoy coming. I don’t even really gamble, it’s just an interesting sights and sounds place

Isn’t that also Taylor Swift though? Would anyone say she’s vocally head and shoulders above her peers? She’s musically gifted true, but would anyone say prolific?
