baffling that this even got acknowledged by the White House at all

seriously "no one here cares about you anymore" would be more impactful if y'all didn’t crash out about me over perceived and imagined things like every 20 days

lol crash out-ass website

homeboy is throwing me for a loop here

Today is the OFFICIAL publication day for TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE! Please indulge me: I want to say a little (perhaps rather a lot) about it and share my acknowledgements - and a discount code! Appropriately,🧵1/10

listening to some of their victims tonight made me even more certain that the single best thing any of us can do to bring about justice for DHS is make sure that in three years everybody you know is ready to demand nuremburg type stuff.

Sometimes Trump is like “federal workers are a deep state working to stop me” and people on Bluesky repeat it and append “(laudatory)”.

you can tell by the quotes that someone said it like 5 times in one convo with him this morning and he thinks its the technical term

I haven't seen millennials this mad at Chuck Schumer since he banned Four Loko

I see people trying to make a broad statement about how furloughed workers feel about the Democrats caving and I would remind you that there are about 3/4 of a million people furloughed and they're probably not going to be a unified front

what's the deal with Richard Hanania now? has he completely disavowed himself from the last 5-10 years or is he just grifting now?

If we are to conceive of ourselves as a class of people, it cannot start simply with our medical needs. This is an ouroboros of atomization. we must identify the legal structures that make us second class citizens, and we need to recognize how these structures make others second class citizens.

Snuffbait turkey girl

Do you think turkey furrys get turned on by thanksgiving?

one thing that all the discourse about the word "valid" vis a vis trans people is that's that saying "trans people are valid" does not actually confer validity as a legal status. It says "i recognize you" but it does not grant important legal recognition.

lmao

To put it another way, *capital* is perfectly capable of organizing decarbonization. The problem is *capital-owners*, who are political actors and not just the embodiments of the accumulation process. Elon Musk is symptomatic here.

really appreciate Nate Silver giving us a unifying point during what is otherwise a pretty unpleasant couple days of Bluesky

*me, increasingly radicalizing as I riskypost about the Third Reconstruction and the perfidious Copperheads* haha wow good one, nate

If they had literally waited another week or two so we could have gotten “Trump ruins Thanksgiving” headlines I would actually be fine with what they agreed to but you get within a few yards of the finish line and then just lay down and give up. What the fuck is wrong with these losers.

... is that you and your haters are locked into this struggle where by the fact of you saying X makes them want to find an interpretation of X that's false. Or it could be they really do disagree with the claim as you say! Very possible, But then I don't think that's consensus here, or something...

I think the Senate dems are a bunch of cowards who are likely afraid of their own shadows but I also think that a lot of the public's reaction is maybe a little more doomerish than is warranted. idk maybe i'm just not stoned enough

i noticed that one of the agreements last night was to appropriate SNAP funding through September next year, which I assume takes that away a negotiation tactic for Trump the next time they do this. i hate this strategy and i think they're cowards, but we might still get what we need to out of this

Roe v. Wade wasn’t great at protecting abortion rights bc it was folded under right to privacy instead of full autonomy, and in the same vein folding gay rights into the institution of marriage threw aside more liberatory demands. The silver lining of fascist rollback is next time we can do better.

So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

wine moms would vote for every district's Marisa Sweeney

in fact more precisely a paradox is sorta the seam where logic breaks down pragmatically speaking it's where all decisions become fundamentally contingent rather than analytic (analytic meaning one can logically prove it independent of circumstances)

so to treat a paradox as an analytic certainty is to not see that it it is precisely pointing out that this is where there is no analytic certainty and only kindness and context sensitivity and nuance can be relevant well at the very least context sensitivity

the destruction of reason

i couldn't imagine a way to make shitty beer even worse but apparently AI could

Trump promised lower prices and fascism and has delivered higher prices and fascism.

exactly

Frankly, I am enjoying the resurgence of the 90s medieval/renaissance aesthetic because some of us 40 year olds had parents who dressed us like 40 year olds back then and now we get to be us

A political movement that forms around the provisioning of specific forms of healthcare to specific subclasses of people will inevitably reify the exclusionary logics of the liberalism it professes to oppose. It inevitably leads to the question "who is truly a member of this group and who isn't?"

one thing that all the discourse about the word "valid" vis a vis trans people is that's that saying "trans people are valid" does not actually confer validity as a legal status. It says "i recognize you" but it does not grant important legal recognition.

Home cooks, if you find a recipe from this website, know all the recipes have been tested b/c nothing is worse than a recipe that doesn't work. My cousin-in-law who has culinary and journalism degrees is one of their testers. She used to work for America's Test Kitchen. www.thekitchn.com

"The federal government is pushing fiscal policies that will hurt low- and middle-income residents and widen income inequality. Massachusetts should do whatever it can to reverse these trends." #mapoli www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/08/o...

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

tbf i intend to give off “poisonous frog” vibes

They’ll do everything to make homebuilding, affordability, and economy significantly worse off with gimmicks instead of taking actions that soundly get America building again to drive down price inflation and get people housed.

the bluesky elders probably not watching but you never know

lmao the feeble attempts to get me to crash out tell me you never really knew me at all 🤷‍♀️

Actually, being accurate and honest in lieu of being misleading for effect is *in itself* a manifestation of politics and political priorities and if you’re willing to dismiss accuracy in favor of persuasion you’re ceding ground to the fascists.

gods i remember ten years ago ppl were pushing to have gender markers changed or more accessible on their ids, and i knew it would come to this we don't need it on our IDs, or on state forms or nothing that's not relevant; the answer wasn't to make X an option. it was to remove them altogether

if you're going to come and try to hold me accountable for something you think I did, i expect you to be precise with your words because I will eat you if you're not

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

it's always about social control

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul
