RSV 1/10 don’t recommend.

This is like a bank robber getting to fire the cops and disable the alarms just before he strolls into the bank lobby.

Et tu, Māla? I can't see Steve Jobs ever having allowed this.

You want to know what sucks? I’ll tell you what sucks. You’ve got a nasty rotator cuff injury. But you’re asleep and you dream that you have full range of motion. And then you wake up in sharp pain at 12:52 a.m. because guess why. That right there, that sucks.

If this bill passes, maybe I can get a job as a crash test dummy...

Putin defenestrates his political opponents. Trump is defenestrating the institutions and norms of our democracy. The same thing, just at scale.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

BREAKING: Attorneys General of CA, NY, AZ, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, NV, NC, NJ, NM, OR, RI, VT, WA, WI, and D.C. are suing Trump for his budget freeze. That 0 GOP AGs are joining, despite the fact that this freeze hurts their constituents the most, speaks to how MAGA is 100% a cult.

This is horrifying. And Trump has taken away all the protections preventing it and now plans to move a trans woman who transitioned at 15 into a men’s prison.

She's the best. I hope to vote for her for higher office in the not-too-distant future.

With Trump's actions today, is there any daylight between him and Project 2025 so far?

Musk comes from a family that moved to South Africa *for* the racism. He has repeatedly endorsed Great Replacement Theory in the US & Neo-Nazis of the AfD in Germany. He championed the rights of white nationalists and restored Nazi accounts to Twitter. But I'm sure the Nazi salute was an accident.

Lacan wishes you a happy new year, from the first seminar of Lacan.

I think this assessment (by @beijingpalmer.bsky.social) will stand up much better than the current "Oh, they have some reasonable points..." rationalizations. Remember that we are talking about people like Musk and Vivek, the out-of-control RFKJr, Gabbard/ Patel, Navarro/ Miller. And ...TRUMP

Hard to argue with this…

This.

Bannon vs. Musk. Predictions, please: who wins this civil war? Crossing either of them will have consequences for Trump. I suspect he will back the zillionaire in the near term, but Bannon is more in touch with the heart of the MAGA loyalists. Let's hope both sides implode.

Alexa, who is "Dennis Hastert"

This is reprehensible.

This is....interesting.

Sara Nathan, an editor at the New York Post, is the sister of Melissa Nathan, the alleged PR character assassin accused of orchestrating smear campaign against Blake Lively. Sara has written hit pieces about Megan Markle, Angelina Jolie and Olivia Wilde.

Cat napping.

We’re in for a series of disasters.

Endorsed as much as it is possible to endorse anything.

hi, i’ve got a poem about god and grief up on the Best American Poetry blog today, and I’m so grateful to Terence Winch for making it his pick of the week

My front yard getting murdered in the rain today.

This is truly the best legal advice we can give.

How long before MAGA starts claiming Trump has cured alcoholism?

I more or less assume that with Gorka headed for a key White House job, Team Trump will tell him to take this tweet down, but as of this minute, it's still up at the other place: twitter.com/SebGorka/sta...

This anecdote stood out to me. Per @amandalitman.bsky.social, over *7,000* people have signed up to run for office via 'Run for Something' since Trump's re-election. That is a staggering number which suggests that we are more than ready to fight.

People of BlueSky, post one of your favorite movies with gif only!

Well, this looks a tad worrisome...

Imagine being someone’s second choice after Matt Gaetz. That’s the most important thing to know about Pam Bondi.

This will not work out well.

More of this, please.

it’s almost like it’s some kind of cult or something

This, but more than chutzpah. An extreme sense of entitlement and grievance that is so often the cornerstone of evil.

Incredibly disappointed in these "democrats."

If you enjoy excellent writing, you should be following this journal. It's consistently first rate.

So the corrupt candidate replaces the sex-trafficking child rapist? Does this count as progress? Maybe. It's sort of like asking whether lethal injection represents progress from the electric chair.

Hey Bluesky, I am excited by all the energy coalescing on this platform. It seems like a place for strategic thinking, which we badly need. A few initial thoughts: 🧵
