Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

Those conversations are so pointless, too, tbh.

Public humiliation spectacle kink

The administration wants more dead kids.

Choitner violating the Outer Space Treaty literally nuking him from orbit: “I read that Roman Polanski is a father figure to him. So that role might already be filled.”

Every time some professor of something has a paper out about how housing is the one good that violates the most basic principles of microeconomics, it’s not in an economics journal with peer review by economists and you gotta wonder why.

Fantastic Black History Month thread is up on the tl for the 14th Amendmebt Center for Law & Democracy. @the14thcenter.bsky.social Do you know the story of this drawing? It’s not what you think. Go to: bsky.app/profile/the1...

Excited for Professor Wurman's new brief, "Why the Original Meaning of the First Amendment Does Not Include Black Journalists"

Jesus Christ

Me, an idiot: The Nazis have overrun Poland, Denmark, Norway, and France is collapsing, all after Chamberlain gave away half of Czechoslovakia. I think we need better leadership. You, a genius: Uhhhhh how about blaming the Nazis instead of our own leaders?

Second Amendment rights are civil rights. Never more true than now!

Let’s do it 🇺🇸 🚊

Cannot breathe 💀

Tbh this already played out when he was mayor. The guy literally was schtupping his campaign managers wife! And he gave an interview about it! It’s literally a twenty year old story.

Los Angeles is almost certainly the worst governed major blue city in the entire country at this point

Los Angeles County is at once building more heavy rail than any other city in North America and also comically NIMBY: “One of its suggestions called for ‘exempting Los Angeles County from SB 79.” Another recommendation suggested “limiting the bill’s applicability to the Bay Area as a pilot project”

The expanded child tax credit under the American Rescue Plan cut child poverty in half and they don’t do an equity analysis or dozens of bespoke targeting. Probably worth considering the implications for this.

It’s a shame how many different “equity” frameworks for public policy design and implementation inevitably means “Make programs slower, more expensive, and serve fewer people” and “give third party consultants money to hold meetings”

Me after seeing some European say that they hate all Americans

And they’ve always been bad, everywhere!

Minneapolis residents are painting tunnels onto brick walls and ICE agents are running into them. This is not funny.

Folks, Trump has brought the full force of ICE to bear on a mid-sized city and he can't even stop the demonstrations there. He's not going to be able to cancel the midterm elections by fiat or station his goons outside more than a handful of polling places.

Only if the do it in equal parts French and English

The guiding purpose of American government over the last 25 years or so has been to funnel tremendous resources towards allowing a particular type of affluent White to live a fantasy existence.

Heated Rivalry is actually better than drugs bc the high doesn’t wear off after watching it for the 9th time

Once again.

It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

Normalize calling NYC nativists townies

Just wait - Hudson Williams is gonna wear a pregnancy suit in a Vanity Fair interview just to underline that he’s more of a freak than even the freakiest #HeatedRivalry fans

one week until January 6th

Rewatching Heated Rivalry S1E6 while I brush my teeth since the episode is only 5 minutes long

It’s probably bad that smoking cigarettes is cool and sexy again. But it’s less odious than vaping. So there’s that.

This is really good fuckin’ TV

GOING TO THE COTTAGE (AGAIN)

Reflecting on how precious Shane is in how earnestly obtuse he is

Reflecting on how precious Shane is in how earnestly obtuse he is

It’s even better/more devastating 🤩

Feeling normal, so going to marathon watch all of Heated Rivalry

why am i the way i am? well, i watched movies like this as a child.

Don't need to imagine, Sinatra had something to say about multicultural liberal democracies 🧵

We deserve more of these Good Things

I still can’t get over my boys driving into the sunset together like we really needed this joy 😭😭 #HeatedRivalry

🫡 #AMariUsqueAdMare

Also, the way that Shane LIED to Ilya “it’ll be so private…” Babe your cottage is a fucking GLASS BOX

#HeatedRivalry is the platonic ideal of Good Gay/Queer TV that I’ve always wanted *specifically* because it pivots on hope and possibility instead of unrequited suffering and sadness. It is genuinely lovely. I want more gay/queer cultural production that tells stories like this. We deserve it.

Heated Rivalry was everything I wanted Looking to be and wasn’t. A perfect Gay TV Show. Thank u Canada
