I’m also not as young as people assume I am. People make a lot of assumptions about anonymous people based on their posts without stopping to think about how much effort we may be putting into disguising who we are. It never ceases to boggle the mind.

I see you’ve met my grandpa 🤣🤣🤣 And also quite a few of the older folks I have met on Al Gore’s internet who have said exactly that or said it in even more colorful language. If I took everything older folks said to me on the internet seriously my therapist would be a millionaire. 🤷‍♀️

Oooh ok. I thought they were saying gtfo was also derogatory. This thread has me spinning.

They’re talking about the original post way above us where all AltFDA said was “Bye old! Get the fuck out!” Referring to Pelosi announcing her retirement. That’s the entire post.

Who or what is the term criticizing or insulting? A derogatory term is one that is meant to criticize or insult. While you may be offended by it, I’m unsure how it’s derogatory.

That behind every #AltGov account is an actual human with flaws and personality traits that not everybody will like. And that’s ok. That diversity is a feature not a flaw. I clearly am the one that can’t say shit without a lot of words for example 😒.

Today's moment of Venn™

Old Sleepy Donny.

President Trump told reporters that Russian exports have dropped significantly and reiterated his call to end the war: “A lot of people are dying. A lot of Russian soldiers are dying. At some point, we think they’ll get smart and stop the war.” Two weaks.

Bulgaria plans to seize and sell Lukoil’s oil refinery in Burgas, Bulgarian media outlet reported. Sofia is drafting amendments to its legislation that would allow the state to take control of Lukoil’s refinery and sell it to a new owner.

They aren’t a bot. Abrasive? Yes. Bot? No.

and this is just a random fucking Thursday in November! I’m so tired of exciting government! Make government boring again!

⚡️The Kremlin has officially incorporated the occupied parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions into Russia’s Southern Military District, the Center for Countering Disinformation reported on Nov. 6.

Stand with Ukraine! 💯 the world let it happen Despite millions of "RuZZia is a terrorist state" shouts We exactly "KNOW" what happens Protest must become loud and visible worldwide. To our governments. Beyond internal problems.

Trump on food stamp recipients: "It wasn't meant for people that could do whatever they want. The people that say, 'Well, I don't think I'll work. I'll just collect this money.'"

Footage has appeared online showing a "Shahed" being shot down by a drone at an altitude reportedly around 7,500 meters. #russianLosses #UkraineNews

This week, WaPo published a “profile” re: Chris Buskirk—who co-founded the Thiel-backed Rockbridge Network w/ JD Vance. Curiously, the profile omitted Buskirk’s ties to “Christian Nationalism” via American Reformer (where he is a director), which supports William Wolfe’s organization. This guy ⬇️ 1/

I’m sure JD was there to comfort her when she got off stage.

This is a well written documentation of Molly’s account of the sandwich guy trial. It’s really worth your read and share and support of lawfaremedia. She draws sharp parallels to the 60’s and the rebellious nature in us all that is justified today as we stand up to bullies. Bravo Molly

On the evening of Nov 5, Ukraine struck a major Geran-2 (Shahed) drone base at Donetsk airport with cruise missiles and drones. An ammo depot, fuel storage, and pre-launch prep site were destroyed. Power and comms nodes damaged. Up to 1,000 drones and 1,500 warheads were reportedly on site.

Our Billy is exploring Winchester and found these 3 bryophytes growing on a ginkgo tree near Winchester Cathedral with another 11 species also on the trunk! @bsbibotany.bsky.social @bbsbryology.bsky.social Photos: Microcoleopsis minutissima, Syntrichia papillosa and Syntrichia laevipila

Well done Billy. These street trees can have a surprisingly rich nitrogen tolerant/dependent epiphyte flora.

More than that, I would love a world in which a singular, secular state occupied the whole of the Levant. However, we live in a reality in which for a century both Arab and Jew have endured generations of bloodshed and so a first, elemental stage must be two states giving nationhood to two peoples..

...that don't butcher each other for a couple generations and learn to coexist in full. The Irish, for example, have only recently reached a point at which violence has been forsworn for a generation or so and still the island is partitioned over history and religious variation. Peace is a process..

For one ecstatic moment I imagined that it might have been the orange ogre, but … no such luck 😐

if i am elected President we will drone strike one C-Suite at Rockstar Games for every additional day GTA 6 is delayed

I did address this upthread somewhere. I am not saying I want progressives everywhere but I am frustrated that when voters are clearly stating that is what they want that the national party often refuses to support them. That’s it.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

Now can we please convince establishment Dems to get on board with supporting young, progressive candidates???? Hello, @democrats.org??? Y’all listening??? We turned out in record fucking numbers on an off fucking year!!!!Maybe try pandering to us for a change if you’d like us to keep doing that 😒😒😒

This by @jollygoodginger.bsky.social lines up with exactly what you're saying.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

ON CAMPUS! In the Capitol Building! Thousands of press are right there in the House and Senate press galleries and this would be their beat.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @cherijacobus.bsky.social The time has come to get off your overpaid behinds and start doing the necessary work. Cheri is right. We need off campus press conferences every single day. Do your damn jobs or get out of the way and let others take over.

In occupied Luhansk, Kirill Grekov, the so-called "Deputy Prosecutor General of the LNR," was found hanged.
