Anything other than craven Trumpism is a terrorist organization.

The concept of trying to implement geoengineering solutions to #climate change is like trying to design a complicated, expensive, unreliable helmet while you're still hitting yourself in the head with a 2x4.

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's sobering, in its way, to realize that there was truly nobody (save, perhaps, his children) who knew him that loved him as a man. He made himself into content, and he died as content, and his funeral is the most content of all. Soundbites to soundbites, bits to bits

There's no more fitting tribute to Charlie Kirk than the one they're giving him right now: nominally Christian survivors on the same grift clambering over one another for more publicity, capped by the shambling, lurching embodiment of everything they long to be. You couldn't write anything meaner

Is it a criminal offense not to have watched the Kirk obsequies? I want to know whether or not I need to turn myself in.

The Trump regime is seeking "regime change in Europe" former Chatham House director Robin Niblet tells the New York Times. This American-led global far right movement is turning into the Comintern of our times, warns Dutch historian @luukvmiddelaar.bsky.social. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/w...

I wish someone would target me with an abortive sting operation.

So I guess Homan got to keep the $50K?

Hey—in an age of credit-card-chip-readers and crypto-currency transactions, there is something refreshingly wholesome and authentic about accepting a pay-off in good old-fashioned cash.

Trying to connect with your unhoused neighbors? Here’s supplies we’ve found are always welcome & needed: - socks - bug spray in summer - hand warmers in winter - batteries (AA & AAA always, D or C for fans & radios) - water Pack em in a ziploc, bring a $5 & go meet your neighbors that live outside

The political effects of this will be seismic… Oh, sorry: I thought I was still in the 1970s.

Post now deleted, more or less confirming it was a DM. Great opsec!

The more I look at this, the more I’m certain that it was a personal communication posted publicly by mistake.

So Homan’s payment came in a Cava bag, while Eric Adams’ advisor Winnie Greco tried to bribe a reporter with cash in a Herr’s Sour Cream and Onion potato-chip bag. Are these transactions all vehicles for placement-ad campaigns by fast-food brands?

It would be a damn shame if someone were to leak the video recording of this transaction.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

Reading the proofs!

Today in government as extortion racket.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

One could, for instance, imagine anti-Oxford-commaism being designated as a subversive organization. (Not that I would ever advocate such a thing.)

Designating anti-fascism as a terrorist organization introduces a world of new possibilities by attributing corporate structure to a set of attitudes or values. The sky is now the limit.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Those 3% outliers do need to have their heads examined.

Translation: Draft bill would authorize Trump to kill brown people that look like they could/maybe be narcos.

He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.
