I am 100% behind this idea from @kkdumez.bsky.social . The orange one doesn't get to redefine patriotism and make it all about himself. Rather than focus on him, let's have a massive party that takes all attention away from him and puts it where it should be on the people of the Unitied States.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social continuing to do the work he was sent to Congress to do. This is helpful.

A full thread breaking down halftime. This is what social media is for

Do ICE agents have qualified immunity? (I'd guess we're about to find out)

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*. on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

I ordered the new book by @dianabutlerbass.bsky.social and bookshop.org has it listed as backordered. I hope this means it's selling really well. We all need a little hope right now and DBB is someone I trust for that.

Imagine being a 3 or 4 star general who has spent the last 30 or 40 years studying just war theory, combat techniques, and ethics and having to sit through this morally corrupt, high school football coach pep talk about war based entirely on what he saw in a Rambo movie. Just embarrassing.

Pierce County really knows how to pick a sheriff. This is what 2, 3 (or more) in a row that are just complete clowns? www.fox13seattle.com/news/pierce-...

As a Vivaldi user this makes me very happy. vivaldi.com/blog/keep-ex...

Every accusation is a confession.

To think this all could have been avoided with a McDonald’s birthday party for a young Donny Trump, and a hug from each of his parents.

Occam is just rolling in his grave with these yahoos.

RIP Loretta Swit, known in her time in homes across America as Major Houlihan on M*A*S*H, a character she transformed over the course of more than a decade on the show from from a hardass villain to a sympathetic protagonist. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Just stumbled back on this article by @jemartisby.bsky.social and it honestly feels like the most important thing right now. All the changes we're looking for start here: comment.org/calling-for-...

This is the best take I've seen on the whole Biden health "cover up". It was pure hubris and that's it. He thought too much of himself to see the reality of his age. (This is maybe true of his entire career)

This is about a million times smarter than trying to find a progressive Rogan. And it would cost them less in the long run.

Taylor and Kendrick are buddies. Imagine the diss track they could make together?

So yeah, this sounds fascinating.

Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie. 20 Things I Hate About You.

DO NOT LOOK AT THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN! 🤡

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR) [the hardest part was choosing which movie] cc @wardogm.bsky.social and @mchesner.bsky.social youtu.be/tShhr4uB3i8?...

This makes me happy because I get to hear @kenwhite.bsky.social call Drake a lil'bitch on Serious Trouble again and that's always a highlight.

DARVO brain at work again.

This is the right framing.

Rather than “anti-vax” let’s just call RFK “pro-disease”.

One of the most pernicious lies in the US: rich = smart From my experience it's usually the opposite.

Last night Jen and I had the pleasure of attending the Iftar dinner put on by @pacificafdn.bsky.social at the University of Puget Sound. If you ever have a chance to celebrate Iftar with your local Islamic group you should. The food is great and the people are better.

Republicans are gleefully and deliberately killing millions and they really believe everyone should be focused their inner lives while doing so.

“The fundamental issue with homelessness today is not that people live outside; it’s that we created a society exclusively for people who live inside, and then cast large swaths of people out of it.” A re-release, maybe more relevant now than when I wrote it. kevinmnye.substack.com/cp/159010628

@esaumccaulley.bsky.social on your podcast you or Walter Strickland referred to MLK saying something to the effect of "we are Saturday people". Do you have a reference for where that comes from? Thanks.

This is what happens when you let AI do keyword searches.

And the argument against term limits is...? This is ridiculous.

Post a female character that you love

When your whole shtick is that the government is a boogeyman out to get you and then discover that you are that boogeyman it can be quite disconcerting. Also how long until the horde of anti-government radicals that they riled up realize that they're now mad at them?

Considering the number 1 priority of the Washington press corps is being the Washington press corps, this may actually get some of them off their asses to take on Trump. At least until they need access again.

The people who decided calling someone a “social justice warrior” was a massive diss can hardly be expected to understand what motivates public servants.

Books for this moment. What does it look like when Christian hospitality practices get applied? app.thestorygraph.com/books/0be48d...

Leopards, faces, etc...

This is literally the way my children think. If they've never encountered it then it doesn't exist and they're a genius for discovering it. Drives me crazy.

@kenwhite.bsky.social does this mean Drake gets to sue the Grammys now?

This 🧵

This is one of the biggest problems with the AI hype. It's marketed as magic and not another software tool that could help.

If homelessness is of concern to you, you should read this article. gritcitymag.com/2024/12/swee...

It feels like Wendy Malik is everywhere right now. I'm not upset about it.

I've been thinking about this for a while. Could probably use some refining, but I think it gets the point.

Hey, so it turns out that paper on black plastic was a bit blown out of proportion by a simple math error. nationalpost.com/news/canada/...

Fucking Galaxy.

In his 1792 tract “The Rights of Man, Part 2,” Thomas Paine proposed a graduated tax in which the top marginal tax rate would be 100%. He pegged that top income at £20,000 per year. That would be roughly $4 million in today’s money.

This seems really bad.
