Legitimately learning a lot about geography from this game as well.

Better Call Saul stuck the landing, no complaints

God can you just fucking take him already

Feeling like I should actually read the End of History

Every single thing about this is so fucking grim

Genuine thanks for taking the stand of telling Trump to fuck off on the talk of *checks notes* annexing our allies territory

Really gotta distinguish this to the very online crowd; plenty of people were grateful outside of that group. (not qt'ing to call out, reply settings from the upthread OP don't allow a reply)

Yep; been on the fence about Dems bringing impeachment articles up until Maduro. Need to show the world that this is strictly a Republican thing and that the opposition here is against it. Doesn't matter that it will fail, doesn't matter if voters here don't care, not the audience.

Organizer speaks out after GRPD arrested

Some reassuring news out of Michigan: www.abc12.com/news/health/...

This is increasingly feeling like a hard liquor sort of day.

Calling it a successful coup is a bit of a stretch. Like what does failure look like in that case? Immediate execution? If he went to prison and the voters re-elected him from a cell does that mean the coup was still successful? American failed, doesn't mean the coup succeeded.

The better you’ve become at curating what the internet looks like to you, surfacing the valuable and filtering out the rest, the less it resembles what “normal people” see. It’s like using a new computer without all your personal tools and tweaks. This is obvious, but easy to lose sight of.

Are we doing British food discourse again? Heinz baked beans are good and it is a travesty that they are $4 a fucking tin here.

He looks so happy in this still. That's the energy I want from my politicians; happy fixing stuff, not tearing things down.

Sincere thanks to the asshole reporters who reminded him of Greenland in the last few days. Dog wagging enough for you yet?

This “embrace of neocons” thing remains extremely dumb. Harris did like 2 events where Liz Cheney—who torched her career to oppose Trump—attacked Trump and defended democracy. If that is the thing that made you decide you were indifferent to Trump winning again then you were looking for an exuse

If CBS runs revisionist January 6 shit I will be more concerned (sincerely).

I dunno that raising the salience of the anniversary of their insurrection is a smart move for the insurrectionists, but let em cook

We are indeed concerned he's going to spoil the election in favor of Republicans, how insightful of him

Yeah why would I not want to patronize a Republican owned business

have wanted something like this for a while; helps save time in determining whether a random interlocutor is likely acting in good faith or likely deserves to be nuclear blocked from orbit

correct take

301 days to midterms

Buy those consultants a new home, George, go for it.

Going back in time and telling 10 year old me it is, in fact, possible to make too many Lord of the Rings films.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Is there a good third party iPhone app for bluesky or does everyone use the vanilla app?

I maintain the best way to use this website is to block at least two thirds of it.

Ah, the mob came for Sky today huh? People suck.

Like this shit is so irresponsible, all in the name of keeping eyeballs glued to the TV. These "journalists" are fucking trash.

“Decant after headlines.”

Military law people, is this something that he can challenge in civilian court?

Yeah this genuinely drives me insane. We talk about the tail wagging the dog but at some point I gotta start to think the people at these media outlets are the tail.

My question to the "how can you reduce harm instead of simply eliminating it!!1!" big brain geniuses is why... they don't simply eliminate it?

When you read someone's skeets from another country, e.g. the UK, do you read them with an accent?

Soft power works, baby. Or did, til we put this mother fucker in office.

But seriously "I knew a nurse who was wearing an Osama shirt a week after 9/11" you knew a nurse who was a piece of shit and an outlier, most of the world was extremely sympathetic to us, which we subsequently squandered by doing our own evil national shit.

We actually have polling on public opinion towards America and Americans and it is uh not universally bad, actually

"Why am I so tired" is a question I suspect I'll be asking for the rest of my life

God you're all being so mean to the Venezuelan dinosaurs who made that shitty oil

My wife, a naturalized US citizen, asked me if we had to chop up the tree when throwing it out last week. I scoffed and maybe I shouldn't have.

I keep wondering what happens if they can't convict Maduro. Like... Does the trump admin let him go? And then what he goes back to being the president of Venezuela?

Personally decided I'm fine with people talking shit about America so long as they aren't directing it at me/other specific random nobodies. I'm an adult who can separate regime from citizenry and have been doing it with the e.g. the PRC my whole life, don't have to put up with people who can't.

Lots of people like BlueSky because of decentralization, not everything is your thing.

I guess another problem is people vote for their particular members of Congress and expect that to mean their problems go away no matter what everyone else does

If you make a bad skeet you can delete it rather than acting like it's weird people think your bad skeet is bad

Think the idea that Taiwan could definitely defend itself against China really misses the mark, which I guess isn't surprising for a topic of the day. Anyway, it's always about costs and how much you could make China pay and whether the leadership think its worth it.

I actually don't think it would be a good idea for every TV host to ask every republican if they think Walz had someone assassinated. Like obviously Trump's tweet is vile and he's an evil man and we all hope he dies of natural causes soon, but we also shouldn't do this propaganda work for him?

Yeah, this totally unrelated thing that even by analogy does not describe something that is happening is true.
