In addition to the horrors and atrocities from this current political moment, I think one of the hardest things that goes unsung is just the realization that so many people we care about in our personal lives either have a complete lack of empathy, are deeply stupid, or both.

WALTER: “The base of the Democratic Party is so fired up, so insistent on party leaders facing off against Trump… as you see those low approval ratings for the Dems, a lot of that comes from members of the party who say, our leaders are feckless, not fighting hard enough.”

Got a small envelope in the mail today, which I usually associate with the random "repent heathen" letters written by local loons. But this one was way better. @damnyouwillis.bsky.social

Go anywhere other than the NL East, please.

I made the right decision to go mow instead of watching the rest of that Panthers game. Yikes.

Enjoy retirement, Charlie. We'll always have 2021.

Well that brief moment of hope when Carolina wrecked Atlanta is back to being numb as New England wrecks Carolina.

I think I heard the cheering from Charlottesville from the other side of the mountains 😋

And sorry, but "We should be polite and respect each other's opinions" makes no sense when one side's opinion is that the other side has no right to exist.

Sorry, but "I don't think people like you should have any rights and I would prefer it if you didn't even exist. Debate me." is not a call for a calm, rational, reasoned debate.

NEW: At a UN event today, advocate Violet Affleck gave a short speech on pediatric #LongCOVID. She also talked about how clean air and masking could help address the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and protect children from the disabling disease. thesicktimes.org/2025/09/23/v...

Need a new streaming service for all of that boycott money? How about investing in @dropout.tv, a progressive comedy platform that doesn't bend the knee to fascism! Not sold? Check out the trailer for @makesomenoiseshow.bsky.social season 4! www.slashfilm.com/1975685/amer...

So: Fascism is bad The First Amendment is good Genocide is an actual fucking crime And also: It's appalling to be in 2025 where each of these is not, in fact, taken as part of the baseline shared reality anymore

I love Star Wars, and part of me is really loving this pulp sci-fi cover, but also fuck Disney and them trying to use this as a distraction.

The great unifier. How is the political temperature supposed to come down when all this guy does is push push push?

Sitting in a med clinic to get blood work, and remembering this building was a Blockbuster Video 20 years ago.

CONGRATS, PANTHERS!

This is more like what I was expecting from the Panthers this season, though this is even better than I'd hoped. Were the first 6 quarters of the season a fluke? Do they just need to get punched in the chin to wake up? I dunno man, but this game is wild.

I hate that we're in a place where everyone needs to address this in their wills. Probably more relevant for famous folks, but even for the non-famous, the allure of an AI that can let you "talk" to your loved ones again is gonna keep growing. AI companies have no morals.

With at least Blue Prince, Hades 2, and Silksong as possible nominees from the indie side of things, this year's field is crowded.

Northeast? I'm in Virginia and they're everywhere.

I dont do tiktok, but I'm sure the government controlling the algo will just thrill people /s

Where is his condemnation of the endless amount of harassment Erika Ishii has received because they're playing the main character in Yotei?

I have no idea what, if anything, Stan Lee had in his will about this sort of thing. But it feels so wrong.

Oh since we're talking about boycotts, way too many of y'all still eat at Chik fil A and shop at Hobby Lobby, two companies whose profits are literally dedicated to killing trans people

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

What’s so frustrating about this is there are thousands of flash card decks and worksheets and free training plans online to answer both of those inquiries completely. That has to be true, because otherwise an LLM couldn’t do it. But people want ChatGPT to regurgitate it to them, like baby birds

LOL damn

The Panthers are possibly worse this week than they were last week. Gonna be another long season.

The Panthers' one is just how all our wide receivers look if the ball comes near them.

"Billionaires" and "too poor" shouldn't be in the same headline unless that headline is "Billionaires are making everyone else too poor to live."

How do you answer your phone?

Tech companies shoving AI into everything.

Thank you Michael Fanone. For those who do not recognize the name, Michael is one of the officers who defended America on January 6th and was left permanently injured as a result. He is a true hero of our Democracy.

Charlie Kirk has apparently been shot in the neck. Praying for his recovery and acknowledging that prayers alone will not stop gun violence. Contrary to his claim that more guns make us safe, the science and facts tell us that we are safest when we have comprehensive gun safety legislation. 1/2

Quick friendly reminder that Bluesky is entirely fucking public and you should post accordingly! Heads on straight, gang!

The White House Press Secretary, the official spokesperson for the Trump administration, told reporters in an official briefing that the president wants to invade "every Democrat-run city" with troops. Any media still pretending that this is about "crime" is making a conscious choice to lie to you.

No one would be confused about what is happening here if they saw it in another country.

"It's about state's rights" they screamed for decades/centuries. Then they sent the troops into American cities.

Twice today where they essentially just said "Eh, what our special boy donnie wants, he gets" without any explanation and then Roberts will have the temerity to be like "Why doesn't anybody respect the Supreme Court anymore?"

Well I had been about to go to bed right when that fumble happened lol. Guess I'm here for the duration.

Holy shit Derick Henry fumbled.

Just like anti-vaxers, people who dislike immigrants are a weird terrible fringe group and we should treat them like the weird terrible fringe group they are.
