The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

Cops arrested a Black pastor watering flowers The Alabama Supreme Court’s response? Giving bad cops *more* power to arrest good neighbors ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

I’m not saying Donald Trump is the devil… But promising that “Hell will reign” might not be a typo.

Untranslated headlines in German are much clearer than New York Times headlines in English

"But see what they do!" I don't recall reading this Jane Kenyon poem before, though I'm sure I have. Hits different now maybe...

That half hour between taking the thyroid medicine and being able to eat breakfast... Torture!

Recently, people have been sharing their favorite old tweets from the bad site and while it’s a lot of fun to see some old bangers, I thought, “Hey what about some recent Bluesky bangers?” So, here are some of my faves. www.gojeffgo.com/best-of-blue...

Good lord, what utter bullshit.

This has made me laugh until my eyes water several times today.

Okay, Santos may have won me over just now with her "big fucking idiots" explanation of how ahe diagnoses the weird cases.

Luke Tennie's on The Pitt!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

this is the chaplain btw. wonder why he was fired.

My primary care doc is retiring, so I have to get a new one. Had to see a doc today and since my regular doc was busy, I saw the partner I've been thinking of switching to. When she entered the exam room, she saw my George Saunders book and said, "Oh, I'm reading that, too." SOLD! That's my new doc.

What. The. Fuck.

Alas, he’s mad. Hamlet, 3.4.121

Evergreen post Trump "speech" post.

read every genre, especially if you want to be a writer. read everything, if you want to call yourself a reader. read a short story collection about astronauts and then read a children’s book about mortality. grow up.

Y'all...I cannot describe how gorgeous the new print issue of @bittersouth.bsky.social is! It's large and lush and I can't wait to sit and luxuriate in it.

It just occurred to me that this July will mark 40 years of living in Cincinnati. As an Army brat, it astounds me that I've lived in one city for so long. And no plans to leave.

Why do people want to know who's blocked them or what bizzaro lists they've landed on? I'm of the strong opinion that in those instances, ignorance is bliss.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Old man confused!

Happy National Poetry Month, U.S. friends. I love this little Ars Poetica by Aracelis Girmay! I wrote an ars poetica for a class this week, and I'm calling it "What the Fuck Are You Doing? (aka Ars Poetica)."

Sauer just had to say that slaves had an "intent to remain" in the US. Motherfucker WHAT??

April Fools' Day is being celebrated at the Supreme Court, I see. The Fool in Chief is in attendance.

It’s a tidy narrative arc, but very bad for American democracy. bsky.app/profile/seth...

Polls show that public support for Supreme Court term limits is quite high, has bipartisan support, and is relatively stable. bit.ly/4s9k6YO

my favorite prank of all time is when I changed my contact in my friend’s phone to “The Lord Your Savior” and then called her and left a message in a booming voice that said “I CALLED UPON YOU BUT YOU DID NOT HEAR ME”

This is all that needs to be said about it. ⤵️

As a black person who was working in a newsroom, I will forever nurse my rage about watching white coworkers chuckle at Trump’s birther press conferences. From the jump, he was “asking” for President Obama’s walking papers. A direct line current police and violence. It was never a joke or gimmick.

"Never has there been a greater need for Welch’s profound regard for humanity."

This makes me laugh so hard: AI promoter upset his story was stolen! Too perfect. Ten pounds of bullshit crammed into a 5 pound skeet.

I love it when punctuation is in the news❗

There’s good historical reason to worry that an authoritarian government leader collecting a registry of Jews, under the pretext of protecting Jews, while that leader has referred to Jews as “disloyal,” may not end up so well for The Jews. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

New USPS rules have voting experts worried. One advocate told Bolts, “There is more friction and more barriers being injected into our system in terms of registering to vote and accessing the ballot.”

Quick correction: the law itself was not struck down, just held that it was subject to strict scrutiny with the majority implying it should be invalidated. Effectively though, the law is dead. It won't be enforced going forward. Apologies, I was reading it quickly on my phone.

JFC. Sotomayor and Kagan went along with the evil 6? Fuck them.

When you combine this case with Skrmetti, the Supreme Court has initiated a regime where states can ban medical care to affirm trans youth while states cannot ban efforts to engage in conversion therapy on trans youth. This court is such a joke.

Lindsey with his bubble wand.🧐 youtu.be/dhOHYfMFkco?...

Good! Every decent nation should be telling the US to fuck right off.

Like maybe this is true. But it's also true of heroin

I. Hate. It. Here.

Vile.

Why is a 70-year-old man with no children or grandchildren vacationing at Disney World? I hate Disney, so I may just not be capable of seeing the draw, but seriously, why?
