Exactly...who in the world DOES this resonate with???

This is a cool video...and I am embarrassed to admit that I was unaware of the work of Raul Malo. Glad to be introduced to his music like this...

Nothing untrue here...

complete batshit insanity

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think. But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

I can barely process the Trump press conference I've just listened to. This is the kind of stuff you usually hear from dictators at the very heights of their delusions. Not elected leaders of superpowers.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

uh holy SHIT?

You can't really slap a "I was on Twitter before Elon went crazy" bumper sticker on your X account, though plenty of prominent people act like you can.

sometimes I’ll make a joke to my wife and she’ll roll her eyes and ask if I’m “gonna post that one on bluesky.” I mean, yes, but her tone is very hurtful

Still do not understand how any law abiding, tax-paying American can continue to support this administration.

Entertaining thread about this sort of unbelievable situation. I have so many questions!

This is not making America healthy again. This is sheer lunacy.

I appreciate the @nytimes.com reporting on this, but instead of calling these "deals" I wish they would more clearly call this CORRUPTION. This is GRIFTING on a level that has never been seen before in American politics. Sickening to imagine 3 more years of this.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

The level of corruption in only 1 year is absolutely STAGGERING. Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I am currently the 4th most-reposted account on BlueSky. What an incredible compliment, as I revere all (well, most) of you because you are so smart and funny. Thank you.

There’s a reason the political right wants to keep people dumb.

"As AI systems advance, they will challenge our fundamental assumptions about research quality, scholarly communication,& the nature of intellectual labor. Science policy-makers must consider how to evolve our scientific institutions to accommodate the rapidly changing scientific production process"

FWIW - I am in favor of a moratorium on data centers. It would be challenging to enforce worldwide, but it would give us all a chance to adjust to an AI-driven world.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

I don't know if you heard that Jimmy Kimmel was invited to give the "Alternative Christmas Message" to run opposite the one from King Charles. This is it, and I, personally, got a kick out of his last line.

Our President posted ~200 times ON CHRISTMAS DAY alone. A) what kind of person does this? B) how come the MSM just ignores his rants? C) this is a person who needs help and should not be running the most powerful country in the world!

I usually post only once a day. If I ever post this many in one day, please contact my loved ones so they can stage an intervention. #ThankYouForYourAttentionToThisMatter 🙏

WATCH — @rokhanna.bsky.social : “Over 1200 survivors raped or abused, and you have rich and powerful men doing this - and this country did nothing.” (H/T @cwebbonline.com )

This is a metaphor for the tech industry overall circa 2025

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”

If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.

The downfall of humanity is well underway…
