I think BlueSky needs to learn that you don't damn near start WW3 to cover up the pedophile papers that everyone knows you are already in. Its not Epstein. It's Trump. Grow up and realize what this actually is.

Yeah, I don't know how you write a piece that features Niall Ferguson of all people and then pretend "they wanted a university without cancel culture"

The term "nerve agent" is not the same thing as "some chemical that has some effect on some aspect of the nervous system" nor is it a blanket term for chemical warfare agents or banned chemical weapons.

Yeah. No.

The Danish have absolutely been terrible to the indigenous people of Greenland, but the US has historically not been great to indigenous people either. So the idea they'll be better off with America is unlikely to say the least. youtu.be/PP2CrG_m7qs?...

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

Everyone, new most blocked account nominee just dropped.

The Trump administration isn't prepared for when a population decides they really don't want them there. Guess what the sign of that is, given our history?

And here we are...

Saw this ad for Max Mueller's new book WAKARA'S AMERICA in the NYRB. I was lucky to read a draft. It is really really good.

I think Stevie missed some important lore.

With “Wikimedia Enterprise”, AI companies have to use (and pay for) dedicated APIs to scrape data, which helps to limit the strain on Wikimedia servers. (See eg arstechnica.com/information-...) This is a good thing for Wikimedia and for its readers.

Oh no people are giving the middle finger to the murderers and kidnappers who are occupying their city with brutal force, oh no not that

NEW: Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

This would be less funny if Trump wasn't a rotting haggis rolled in Cheeto dust.

"Trump announced the potential tariffs Friday at a rural health roundtable event." That sentence needs no further commentary.

Big "see what you made me do, I wouldn't hit you if you behaved" energy

The "The Noble Prize is a sacred token that can never be..." crowd on here kinda needs to sit down and read more about the Noble Peace Prize.

One, do we? Two, we kidnapped a guy out from behind the air defense provided by our potential greatest military rivals? So, circle back to the first bit.

I just watched a interview where Greenland's Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt was very emotional over the pressure and escalation of American aggression. We are an empire. Maybe even a largely evil one. We are hypocrits. But, in the context of our allies, we don't do this. WTF are we doing?

"Gen Z officially declares Jessica as new millennial nickname for problematic women!" Me:

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

Ask this man what color Greenland is. Please. It might save the world.

Just a little Lost Cause-level Constitutional nonsense from the mouth of Maryland's only Republican in an attempt to paint Walz as a traitor. Nothing to see here.

“What was inaccurate in what I said” I love that he keeps asking that

And now, your moment of zen...

There is a brand of political policy that enshrines stability as the most important thing in the world and treats any potential for anything better as unlikely. The Iranian regime maybe bad enough to literally run out of drinking water for Tehran, says Politico, but what if what's next is worse?!

Its resolved but I wish my car insurance provider me I had an outstanding November bill despite paying them, in person, in November.

I've been sitting on this for a bit. Why does the Trump middle finger matter? A New Yorker who has said and done significantly worse things, whose brain is becoming porridge, did a New Yorker thing to a guy who said a thing he didn't like. Focus on the potential war with our allies & state terror

Hey #Skystorians! I'm looking for 2 articles I don't have access to at my institution. If you do & could send them to me, DM me! Melody Kubassek “Ask Us Not to Forget: The Lost Cause in Natchez, Mississippi.” Julia Huston Nguyen “Laying the Foundations: Domestic Service in Natchez, 1862–1877.”

Deleted the OG tweet because I really don't feel like dealing with BS randos today. Walz should mobilize the Guard and state the peacekeeping objective. And some people do. At least in this place.

This is why we celebrate the Boston Substack Party, when the patriots wrote strongly worded pamphlets about tea.

And there's the feedback loop.

Rebecca is absolutely right. If Britiain is our "special" relationship, France is our complicated relationship. This isn't the Quasi-War. It's France having to put their manpower on a line to keep us from crossing it. It's unthinkable. "Indeed I tremble for my country..."

Tillis tripping on a bar so low its a pavement marker is no surprise but this is still unacceptable levels of cowardice and incompotence.

For those who may not be aware of the American history, kidnapping Lakota men and detaining them at the Fort Snelling site would be the Euro equivalent would be if Germans arrested Jews & imprisoned them in Dachau in 2026. It was the land of a concentration camp for the aftermath of a genocidal war

It's bad enough that Trump is turning the USA into a global pariah, but it's even worse when you remember how he keeps insisting that "world leaders respect us again" now that he's in charge.

I laughed at this but its true. It's the spiritual ancestor of where we are now; where we've been since April 4, 1949. The same fight that can be triggered by a single death.

The int'l press, let alone the intelligence and diplomatic communities worldwide, know there are sane anti-invasion actors within the Pentagon. I have to believe, aside from literal territorial defense, Arctic Endurance helps grant those folks more leverage against Trump's imperial delusions.

France joins Operation Arctic Endurance.

The jokes are fine but this is the UK putting a man on a firing line and telling the United States to shoot through them...alongside the Germans, Swedes, and Norwegians to get to Danish territory. It's the special relationship devolving into "Do it".

Germany joins Sweden and Norway in holding the line.

Just want to stress that this was a woman who was simply trying to get to a doctor's appointment.

The President of the United States is now the greatest security threat in the Atlantic and its because he is having a tantrum of not owning an island that the flag of his country already flies over.

I have a feeling today is going to be one of those days.

When this administration ends, one of the smaller points of neo-Reconstruction should be the end of US government social media beyond accounts dedicated to warning the public of weather and national emergencies.

*snickers in EMT* no the fuck he didn't
