Hey folks, @digdougfrye.bsky.social has joined Bluesky for those people “in the know” on cool dudes.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Well, based on this, the bad news is I will not be living to 99. The good news is I will not be living to 99.

I'm just not feeling the Black Friday spirit this year. It's gotten so commercial.

It was my late mother that taught me the meaning of Thanksgiving: grudging obligation.

“Any fun plans for tomorrow?” “No, we have people coming over.”

the woman using the r-word in this clip, Laura Ndirangu, is now interviewing for a position on the school board in Forest Lake, Minnesota

Hi, former turkey farmer here who raised flocks of heritage breed turkeys specifically for Thanksgiving: What?!

Nursing — the backbone of American health care — just got kicked out of the “professional degree” category by Trump’s Dept. of Education. But theology made the cut. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Wow…okay. This isn’t an unhinged thing for a sitting president to repost at all.

Both Udo Kier and Meg Foster were blessed with Creepy Cool Eyes™. Meg is thankfully still with us.

Ah, Udo Kier died! What a shame! I will always remember him in his greatest role. I am speaking, of course, of him playing Toulon in Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich. RIP, sir!

This is the last straw.

The process of buying a car is so miserable that I’m kind of hoping I’ll just die before I have to do it again.

Return to bloodletting and leeches in US medicine in 5…4…3…

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

More and more I can’t help but feel that America and I have drifted apart.

Less than 11 months in office, folks.

My question for the terfs/right is: Why do you call Tilly Norwood “she/her?”

I used to be all-in on the skeptic movement back in…I don’t even remember…was it the late aughts? Well anyway I drifted away thanks to the weirdly toxic reaction to Watson’s whole “elevatorgate” incident. Now this comes out and it seems like my instincts were justified. Absolutely amazing.

Last night’s lavish White House dinner showed us the global oligarchy coming together in plain sight. By cozying up to MBS, Trump has signaled to the world that the United States is now on the side of authoritarianism, not democracy.

It’s kind of fascinating how easily all these powerful corporations are caving to a bunch of bigoted authoritarians. It’s almost like they never cared about any of this stuff, and will do whatever is required to secure their fortunes.

Right before ballots go out.

Trump decides on military strikes like he’s approving adding beef bourguignon to the Mar-a-Lago dinner menu. “Sure. Works for me.”

I see people claiming it’s ridiculous that Raskin would actually invite MTG to the dems’ “big tent” and that he was joking. A year ago Liz Cheney was invited on stage at a dem presidential campaign event. It was famously badly received. So, if Raskin, was indeed joking it wasn’t a good joke.

MTG is an experiment in how little it will take for white voters to ignore red flags they’ve already clocked

Where’d she go? #sloppyphotoshop

If nothing else the Epstein emails do reveal a shocking level of cronyism in our government, industry, and media.

Not sure what it says about you when Deepak Chopra thinks you’re crazy.

NEW: The Venezuelan nationals the US government sent to El Salvador in March and April were tortured and subjected to other abuses, including sexual violence. In a new report, HRW and @cristosal.bsky.social provide a comprehensive account of the treatment of these people in El Salvador.

Folks…it happened. First time seeing it.

It’s kind of amazing that billionaires have been granted so much special access to/influence with politicians that they don’t even think it’s unfair and worthy of keeping on the DL anymore.

Sleepy Joe? Meet Drowsy Donald!

If someone threw a sandwich at me I’d catch it in my mouth and swallow it whole, like a cartoon dog. Skill issue.

My sanity would really benefit from a 30-Day Mute option on here. Like just so you can take a break from an account once in a while.

The GOP congress read this quote as aspirational, apparently.

Oh man…this deserves green shirt guy.

Apparently mullets are making a comeback, but the catch is Gen-Z thinks a mullet is just when you shave your sideburns and the area above your ears.

Hey! More good news from upstate NY!

Last week I thought HGTV could save democracy by offering Trump a home renovation show. Now I’m thinking…he just wants to have a little cafe. Hey Food Network!!!

Okay, upstate NY!

The number of Jake Chatterbrook-Silvers who will call for the GOP to moderate its extreme right-wing positions and focus on voters' kitchen table anxieties will be precisely 0.

If the NYC election had gone any other way, the press would treat it like a referendum. A sea change. A bellwether. It will be interesting to see how they twist themselves into pretzels to NOT do that with Mamdani.

Today and tomorrow are the days that I look at 52-48 or 51-49 splits and have to boggle that Americans are like this. Wtf do republicans have to do to make you fucks stop voting for them?! Sorry, I’m a buzzkill.

It’s funny how much otherwise good people seem to long for hell’s existence. “I hope there’s a place where people are burned for all eternity in a lake of fire.” I kid of course. I know it’s because we live in an unjust society, so we have to imagine some cosmic justice that rights the scales.
