My level of nerdy is “have to keep rewinding the Ken Burns special because I miss things while I look up the cast every time a voice sounds vaguely familiar.” You?

@andymurdock.bsky.social relevant to your interests.

The median income of a households receiving SNAP benefits is $29,953 and 80% of those households include either children, an elderly person, a person with disabilities or combination of the three.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

letting SNAP expire right before thanksgiving and right as health care premiums skyrocket, on paper, seems like the kind of thing destined to be the downfall of a regime, setting aside that it’s gonna be a very thin christmas for a lot of people because of tariffs

Of the five pals he mentions, the *least evil* one might be O.J. Simpson.

“All my friends murdered and raped, sometimes they hung out at my house. Get over yourself.”

for the love of all that is holy WHY CAN YOU NOT DESCRIBE THE PLAIN REALITY OF THE VIDEO

Obama sharing a video of himself wearing a crown and flying a King Obama jet that dumped shit all over Americans would have been the only thing the news networks talked about for weeks. Meanwhile, Trump doing that very thing couldn't even warrant a discussion on the Sunday shows today.

ill start a gofundme for any reporter that seriously asks mike johnson “trump posted a video of what appears to be a diarrhea plane. can you confirm that the united states air force is developing a diarrhea plane?“

Y’all, please stop reposting the AI images from yesterday. (Yes, I’m talking about the one Kara Swisher, among many others who should know better, posted.) There are so many FABULOUS real ones, we don’t need fakes to make yesterday look good. Plz and thx. ❤️‍🩹

We're calling him Diarrhea Don. He's owning the libs so hard with this, it's brilliant. Everyone talking about the president's uncontrollable bowels, how manly and cool his uncontrollably explosive shits are.

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.

After adding new data to our spreadsheet, our central estimate of turnout for the No Kings Day protests yesterday has risen to 5.5 million, with an upper bound of 8.7 www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Here it is. Trump's Gaza cease-fire deal just went up in flames. Reported just 12 minutes ago. Israel not only has suspended aid into Gaza but has launched a massive wave of attacks. Time Magazine is going to have to come up with a new cover of Trump.

Remind me, @leedoesstuff.bsky.social , you had a whole set of instructions for moving from Spotify to Tidal, yes?

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire. He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify. If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

Just Minnesota things

Printing presses kept their letters in cases. Capital letters went in the upper case. Smaller letters went in the lower case. This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’ Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press? MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

today’s extremely unsettling development of our current dystopia: i have had my first “getting rounded up and thrown into a detention facility” dream. everyone else in the facility with me was a POC, LGBTQ+, or Jewish. there were… a lot of Jews.

What do you get when you cross a blue jay with a green jay? That’s not the start of a joke, but the subject of a new study that aims to describe a hybrid bird never encountered before in the wild. https://cnn.it/3WcFnDd

i need to know: are they paying people eleventy billion dollars for these royal kingdom endorsement ads or is every fucking celebrity on earth just a megafan?

Bringing a knife to a gunfight would actually be an improvement over bringing “turn that frown upside down!” or whatever this is to a gunfight.

today in wAr RaVaGeD portland, i went to a screening of a short film about the dying process, drove through a popular neighborhood at lunchtime where families ate at busy food carts, and had a friend over to pick grapes in the backyard. you know this, but here it is again: he lies. all the time.

Keep posting pictures of a beautiful city about to be invaded by federal troops for no reason but the leader's political weakness. Show the beauty. Show the truth.

I’m worried it can still get stupider
