I’m not gonna link to their stupid site, and you’ve already seen it anyway. But I gotta once again emphasize here that “Giant Nancy Pelosi and Her Stern and Resolute Band of Warriors” is one of those images that accidentally goes extremely hard. Nancy is coming for your ass.

I mean look. It all sucked and continues to suck. I haven’t done a J6 take yet today but I do have thoughts! The one thing you CAN’T say though is that nobody treated it as a crime because we VERY much did and rightly wouldn’t shut up about it. It just didn’t work!

Ha! I don't remember this one, though I sure as hell was on Twitter in real time that day. Credit where due! This was a post for the ages. Like being in Hawaii in December '41 like "man hearing a lot of planes today, the vibes are kinda off"

It's always kinda comical when the right's unreality runs into actual reality and a judge is like, what are you talking about. It happened with Comey and Letitia James too.

What the hell. How OLD are these people? They have literally never encountered the term “power user” before? They think it has to do with, you know, POWER RELATIONS lol?

They have disrespected my son for the last time.

This site--and the doomers on it in particular--continues to have a really hard time being able to separate what Trump wants from what Trump can actually do/get

The Republican project for the last 80 years or so has been to close the public pools once they become integrated

I mean everybody knows Gollum gave the Ring to Bilbo fair and square! He won the damned contest, people.

Between this and the unhinged saber rattling post-Venezuela, it’s hard not to think that we are paying for how decades of decadence have erased our natural fears of war and disease.

this is how i feel about the material universe

Oh you’d better believe THAT’S one eternal damnation coming right up. Come on, man. Chicago Pope don’t play.

He “picked” her? In what sense? I genuinely don’t get this headline.

This is known in the business as the Kitchen Gom Jabbar

If this were true we'd be in a lot worse shape than we are this year. (Which is not to say the story being linked is great! It's troubling. I just don't think it bears this kind of weight.)

you guys ever see Looper

Other groups it is unwise to anger: 1) Astronauts (they may have powerful extraterrestrial allies) 2) Identical twins (the other one always might be right behind you!)

But Mister Secretary, does this mean you're not going to PROSECUTE this dreadful seditious treason like you and the president pretty much promised us?? What will the American people say?? How very disappointing lol.

language note: don't say 'congress' when you mean 'congressional republicans'

::taps sign::

Yeah and you’re probably doing this too, just not about the same targets. So am I. It’s inevitable but we should fight it in ourselves.

Obviously it's troubling to see him leave the political stage for now, but on the other hand STEELY DAN TRIBUTE BAND

And if you unironically type the word “messaging” more than twice a day it’s an automatic time-out. It’s the only way you’ll learn!

Bluesky should have a feature where if you get into an argument about whether an elected Democrat’s message was good or bad your phone delivers you an electric shock and makes you do a ten minute mindfulness lesson

"ghost self hosting" might SOUND like lighthearted fun but you may be dabbling in matters you do not understand!!

Also I absolutely WOULD yell at the roaches because what the hell man that’s fucked up

I guess I have to go back to the office tomorrow. So I apologize in advance, but chances are I'll be posting more frequently.

You can make all the conspiracy theories you like but the simplest explanation remains the most likely one and the simplest one given everything going on with Venezuela is that these guys have no idea what they're doing and are basically doing a war for posts and are making it up as they go.

This is what happens when you recklessly extend BRICS right up to America’s borders and ignore America’s legitimate security concerns.

This is not complicated. Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue, after all -- and tribute is Good, Actually! Let's go back to paying it, maybe? (With foreign adventurism AND with racism!)

we love that American can-do spirit folks

Yeah I don't seen how this isn't the modal outcome. (Which is not a prediction!) You can't just push some buttons or erase one or two political actors and make a country into something different. I think we've maybe seen this enough by now?

We're not good at it! At least not THIS kind of blunt-force-trauma imperialism! It's worse than a crime, it's a mistake (as somebody clever said.)

A new year also means a new @ageofnapoleon.bsky.social podcast, and I really feel like things are about to turn around for the Big Fella!

So yeah most of my local family is coming to my house tomorrow which is the source of great anxiety and ALSO means I have to clean the house now which is one million times worse. I appreciate any support in this difficult time. .

What if I read books this year? Or wrote one or something?

Anyway, we made it I guess. Better luck next time, calendar.

Ah fireworks and/or celebratory gunfire. It's cold as hell out there but the young of my neighborhood still have that dog in them.

Man. This guy is going out on top, frankly. He still has his fastball.

DISCIPLINE GUNS

Happy New Year, Bluesky.

If you get the majority of your news from a vertical video with someone talking to camera, your brain is cooked This is true regardless of what your politics are

CY! BER! PUNK!

The past year has been terrifying. Really, the past two—I lost a lot of sleep in 2024 over the promises of the Trump campaign, promises they immediately sought to make good on. But at the end of the first year of his would-be dictatorship, I am calling it: we are going to win.

A master of the form, in a form where too often the greats go nameless and unheralded even if we know their work. But we know his name. Truly what the ancients called κλέος ἄφθιτον. undying fame!

I feel like "bonkers Trump ballroom stuff" is one of my chosen lanes now so this is good material. First of all, you may have heard it was gonna be big, but it's bigger than THAT. And it's got one of those drone-free roofs. We should all have those by now.

wow, sorry. Deleting now. I didn’t know she was French

In sk8er boi, Avril sings I'll be at a studio Singing the song we wrote About a girl you used to know Many assume sk8er boi is that same song, but there is no strong textual support that sk8er boi exists diagetically. What this heterodox thread advances is a potential "2nd sk8er hypothesis" 1/
