My in-laws have stopped asking if we’ve seen the latest bill maher and started asking if we’ve heard the latest Jon Stewart podcast and this is how revolutions start.

No protest from 6am to 9am in the Broadview free speech zone. Just here with a handful of press waiting to see if we can catch the Texas National Guard arriving in Broadview tonight.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

Oh, neat…

That can’t confirm their identities because they don’t know who they were. But somehow they knew they were criminals who needed to be detained. They just don’t know who they were. But they were criminals, probably!

What’s funnier? Impeaching a president with thousands of counts, or impeaching him every day for two years? We know the senate will never convict so this would be purely for the lolz.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

For those playing along at home, DJT is invading Chicago in the name of Katie Abraham, a young woman killed by a drunk driver 3.5 hours away. This would be the equivalent of invading New York for something that happened in Marthas Vineyard. Or Brighton England for something that happened in Paris.

Weird to be watching ANDOR for the first time…

settings > content & media > autoplay video & gifs = off

So you’re saying Donald Trump, a serial sexual predator, who sponsored teen beauty pageants, bragged about walking in on them getting dressed, threw lavish boat parties with 14 year old girls as entertainment, and was best friends with Epstein is some kind of pedophile? I don’t buy it.

And another thing I hate about Star Wars… Endor ≠ Andor. Just two entirely unrelated things. Feels malicious.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.

Chicago right now. Absolute hell. Send troops!

Amazing news! We're Not Them was just selected by FilmQuest via FilmFreeway.com!

Photo passed along from a federal employee from inside the Dept of Labor building, where a giant Orwellian image of Trump's face is now draped outside. Big Brother is watching.

Really enjoyed the table read for "Forever Friends" by @stirlingmclaughlin.bsky.social Quite hilarious and imaginitive!

I believe we are now headed for a hot war, which is a real bummer on account of how poorly equipped I am for a hot war. I grocery shop on a cargo bike and have a very elaborate hair care routine. War stuff is supes not my vibe.

In 25 years, every business school in the country will be doing case studies about how a long defunct company known as “Google” once had an unbeatable lock on online information retrieval and then started doing shit like this.

Do better, @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team

just thinking about it makes me so angry. the worst kind of open race baiting in american politics since george wallace.

I like that Gavin is having fun, but it does make me sad to think how much effort he’s putting in only to come in 6th in Iowa in 2028. (Related: would have loved to see this energy on his podcast instead of all the capitulation to transphobic fascists.)

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

Republican voters have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever in 2026…

Trump deploying National Guardsmen in DC exposes one of his big lies about January 6th. Kash Patel falsely claimed for years that the Democrats failed to take Trump up on his offer to deploy the Guard on Jan. 6. But Trump could have deployed the DC Guard himself and didn’t. Now he does.

when people call it the "AI bubble" this is what they mean

A rat done bit my sister Nell…

New JER record arrived! @skatunenetwork.bsky.social

I am so fucking done with superheroes and if I never see another superhero movie i could die perfectly happy. I also love everything @jamesgunn.bsky.social touches. Real conundrum. Anyway! Superman is great.

Intentionally using “treasonous” incorrectly to avoid saying “seditious conspiracy” which they just pardoned a bunch of people for…

Trump can’t go to jail because presidents can’t go to jail for things they did in office. Unrelated, Obama should go to jail for things he did in office.

For the record I was a fan of Lena Dunham before, during, after, and before it was cool again.

[MAGA world suddenly looking at the photos and videos of Trump being weird with teenage girls and putting it together like the end of “The Usual Suspects” only it takes three hours because there’s a LOT of material to get through]

Inside you there are two wolves. Mine are “I’ve been waiting two hours for a rental car!” And “man it’s gotta suck to work a service industry job on a holiday weekend.” Everybody’s eatin’ tonight.

Why does every retiring GOP senator go out the same way?

A new statement from the Whitehouse clarifies that the attack on Iran was about ethics in video game journalism and is therefore exempted from the War Powers Act of 1973.

@arimelber.bsky.social is like: “The Mac Dad'll make you jump, jump. Daddy Mac'll make you jump, jump. Kris Kross'll make you jump, jump… Senator, your thoughts?”

I told you we’d be back

Kamala Harris: Donald Trump will be a dictator on day one. He will use the military to carry out personal and political vendettas. America: How dare she?! Gavin Newsom: Imma kick Trump out of California like I kicked trans women out of sports! High five! America: Gavin Newsom 2028!!!

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.
