Why you should watch #Andor before cancelling your #Disney subscription: (1) Diego Luna. I mean... Come on. Have you seen him? (2) BC people can't easily comprehend fascism in real life but WILL get it thru storytelling. Art has always pushed back against overreaching power. Time to do it again

Today's (totally unsurprising) example of ownership bias in news: zero coverage of #JimmyKimmel being silenced on ABC news

Well that's not suspicious at all 🤦🏻‍♀️

@dannagal.bsky.social @brendannyhan.bsky.social @victorasal.bsky.social Anybody have a stats boot camp syllabus or similar plan? Former student says he rusty & wants to get back up to speed on all things Bayesian. Please and thank you

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Ok @support.bsky.team how do I mute an image please? 🙄

What she said 👇 Reframe this! They're not the only ones who should know how to craft a narrative after all

Hey Siri: how do I tell The New York fucking Times they should be talking about the Emoluments Clause instead of so-called ethical concerns? #griftersgonnagrift #somanycrimes #emoluments #EmolumentsClause #journalism #DoYourJob @nytimes.com

And, having seen his post, I am now legally obligated to reshare it with you #yourewelcome #themstherules #UmbrellaRule #TomHollandRule

this should become a thing, putting up signs like this for every arrest & disappearance in public spaces. it would likely break into lower info, less politically engaged demos and local social media groups

Happy National Dog Day to everyone but the fucking fascists. They don't deserve dogs #nationaldogday #adoptdontshop

This is so true it hurts (I saved this meme in 2022, credits to its creator, I can’t recall who it was).

Serious question about the #MAGA-fied #KennedyCenterHonors: who are they going to get to do the tributes and performances? Especially given the announced host 😲 And secondarily, how many former honorees will actually attend? Assuming they're all actually invited this time around anyway

Challenge: post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hell hole it is

JFC 😨 #freedomofthepress #pressfreedom #genocide

As if this is really even a question #beexcellenttoeachother

My last name is Cronkhite. I take that name seriously. Poor Walter Cronkite must be rolling over in his grave #freedomofthepress #pressfreedom #cbs #paramount

This means that the U.S. is granting Putin an A-1 diplomatic visa. He can't land without it. He's counting on other countries to then do the same to effectively further invalidate his international arrest warrant (Reminder: the U.S. is not a signatory to the ICC)

Going after comedians (in this case admittedly defined very broadly) is never a good sign #authoritarianism101

I thought this musta been @theonion.com but I learned about it from @bencollins.bsky.social so 😳

Read the article. Totally understand the logic. Seems a creative way to address a difficult problem. But... did not expect to see the phrase "fast-track med school" today. Or maybe ever. Like... Learning medicine doesn't seem something to me that you artificially would speed up 🤯

PsyOps (маскировка or maskirovka) rule #1. Never get high on your own supply.

The price of 1 lb of ground beef is now higher than the federal minimum hourly wage…

No hell hot enough.

Buh-bye

Fox News headline right now: House advances Trump's massive agenda bill after fiscal hawks cave You're telling me the Freedom Caucus wasn't serious about fiscal responsibility and deficit reduction? They didn't stand their ground? I'm shocked! Shocked I say!

I know everything is 💩 And there are more important topics. And no one affiliated with the show is on this platform. But I do appreciate that #ironheart didn't waste an original #Hamilton cast alum & had #AnthonyRamos do a song. Especially in the darkest times, got to grab onto little good things

A gulag archipelago of camps 🤯 JFC the more I hear about the soon-to-be-barely-passed, needed-a-tiebreaker-already, big blasphemous bastard of a bill, the worse it gets

So about the Everglades detention facility, they all do know it's hurricane season, right? And a bad one is projected. And NOAA gutted. BC heard a lot about alligators but not so much about protecting the humans (which I know is a super low priority in a concentration or internment camp but still...

Number 1 rule in diplomacy is reciprocity. How much 'Muricans gonna like it when other countries start requiring we do the same?

So anyone can now be sent to any place without the right to know where they're going or appeal it at all?

So Article II is asking Article I not to do its oversight job without letting them ahead of time know they're going to do oversight? Thankfully Article I doesn't have to give this 💩 any credence. Co-equal and all...

#nokings #norfolk

Like... Why would we need Farsi-speaking staff?

In these most heinous of times, happy Bill & Ted Day to all who celebrate #BillAndTedDay #WordsToLiveBy

A+ trolling from the dictionary (again) #redherring

I really wish (a) schools taught civics at all anymore and (b) there was a way to explain Duverger's Law to these folks in a way they would understand (Yes, I know that they won't want to understand it.)

Wait. What? They rolled back guidance that hospitals have to help to try to keep women alive? Even if that means performing an #abortion? To literally save the incubator (bc that's what they think women are) Like isn't that why ER's exist? To save lives? #theyrepureevil #hippocraticoath #waronwomen

I friggin' love this! Using one's platform and expertise for the greater good is always in style @dieworkwear.bsky.social #adoptdontshop

Just heard the Joni Ernst response. Here's what I think it gets wrong: it's fine to mock those in power. To mock those above you. But you don't punch down. Esp when folks are legit concerned (and big mad) folks are gonna die. And the tooth fairy thing? Oppo ads write themselves #usehumorcarefully

Or an onion! Half an onion & tongs. All you need to clean a grill 🧅

People understand bar charts. @democrats.org should run with this image in ads

Yet another example of why no one should use @allsidesnow.bsky.social supposed #mediabias charts. That (air quotes) center column is laughable. @adfontesmedia.bsky.social is SO much better!

Why we will only ever adopt #adoptdontshop #shelterdog #shelterdogs #shelterdogsarethebest #womansbestfriend

If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. Memorize it. And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.

FRIEND: "We're at risk of slipping into fascism." ME: "Oh, honey . . . when they are arresting judges and mayors, we've already slipped."

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done
