Dear Penthouse Forum,

Trump wants to control the country’s future by rewriting its past. For the latest issue of our magazine, @dfriedman.bsky.social and @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social explain how the president is weaponizing history to wage his never-ending cultural and legal battles. Read it here: tinyurl.com/32n7948b

Hey @podsaveamerica.crooked.com and @timmiller.bsky.social I know you all like to poke fun at all of the woke scolds over here on Bluesky but I’m genuinely curious why you all continue to post on X? Surely, you don’t condone this, so what’s it going to take to leave?

Not sure what to do with this information.

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it." It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

I have a lowkey crush on the woman who runs the Thai joint that I frequent and tonight she said she liked my fit which was nice of her and brightened my day.

Listening to the game on the radio while scrolling Bluesky is pretty great.

Been having a hard time as of late and I’m happy to be reading this warm, loving, thoughtful book. And Seamas makes me laugh out loud in a way few do, so I’m thankful for that. #booksky

This is brilliant.

Always jarring to cross paths with a snake.

Great cause! Help if you can.

Losing the war on woke

When I was 7, my teacher told us to write an article about “world cultures” for school over the weekend. I remembered it late on Sunday so in a panic I made up something called the "Icelandic Fish Festival", figuring said teacher wouldn’t know either way.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

GOD: Move that cloud. ANGEL: Why? GOD: Just do it. ANGEL: Okay. GOD: Now, make the sun brighter. ANGEL: Sure. GOD: *giggles* He’s got a boner. ANGEL: Yes sir, very funny. GOD: Being me is fun.

I rejoice, for I reside in AZ.

music.apple.com/us/album/if-... Two of my favorite music making dudes getting together to make something incredibly beautiful.

I have so much admiration for people who have the creativity and drive to make things like this. Thank you!

Fuck Charlie Kirk, always and forever. History will paint him in his true light.

You need to know what might be coming. Trump could have brought the nation together to confront political violence after the murder of Charlie Kirk. Instead he appears to be preparing to use the shooting as a pretext to destroy his political opposition and consolidate power.

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

you could write an entire book about this post and I will for the right price

I needed this sweet giggle in the midst of the nightmare of a timeline.

For a period of a couple of years during the 2010s I was employed regularly by cattle to shoot the covers for the albums they had recorded. It was always wonderfully inspiring to witness the love, hard work & passion they had put into their music, & I really think that comes through in the photos.

A bet Naomi Klein would be fun to hang out with. #booksky

Pumpkin spice season is at the door.

The more I pay any attention to what is going on in this world, it over-fucking-whelms me and I feel like I’m losing it. The fact that we all just keep going on, clocking in, tuning out is absurd.

Today I had to tell my boss, a grown ass man, that what he was saying was ignorant at best and highly racist in its obviousness. His response was “I don’t care, you just can’t handle the truth”. Cool cool.

I can't believe we, as a people, are getting our shit owned by these guys

named my phone lois lane bc it doesn’t recognize me with glasses on either.

Happy International Book Lovers Day, to those who celebrate.

music.apple.com/us/album/so-... One of the prettiest there is.

This should be the GOP’s slogan.

Let’s learn some more and be outraged. #booksky

I don’t know what this means for someone like me. As if being unhoused isn’t hard enough.
