Everyone: Rightfully put off by a deeply, obviously unhealthy lifestyle pitch from a 23yo who is barely old enough to speak to you and probably not actually keeping that lifestyle himself Me: 🐥🐥 “You can’t call it grindcore. Grindcore is a claimed term and you can’t have it.”

Please do yourself a favor and read this @dogsinautumn.bsky.social tribute to Alex Pretti. You won't regret it.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Tom Brady will be having a completely casual conversation and staring at the other person like they’re an adderall he found in couch cushions

So this is like…this is clearly a gambling thing just happening right on air, right

Gonna be crazy when It Happens, but not before there’s already a full blown new religious movement built around the AI voice of Charlie Kirk. Because then the new strictures are gonna have to deal with that awkward John the Baptist -> Jesus thing again

While some are saying they would go back in time and arm the legislatures of the southern Reconstruction Republics with M4s, I would go back in time and arm Ulysses S. Grant with Excel and a cached copy of a modern topographical map of the United States. And also the first thing

1. She was murdered in the obvious attempt to comply 2. Rural areas aren’t “chafing against the political power of big cities.” Our constitution disproportionately favors them. These people just hate cities because of who lives there. Fusion of segregation-brain & that dumb Just Black Coffee comic

This is obviously Miller, a Schmittian who believes sovereignty being able to create a state of exception But 1) the Insurrection Act is not a state of exception 2) The feds can provoke them, but only the people can suspend the status quo 3) They won’t like it if the people decide to do that

I agree that the only solutions to Trump in the grand sense are internal. But I think this is a foolish assumption. It may bear out, but it’s the same logic driving Trump and it’s really stupid to run on assumptions in circumstances without a recent analog

I was struck today by how few politicians lean on the American tradition of political oratory the way Zohran did. The last one to do it well was obviously Obama & lesser speakers spent a decade essentially doing impressions of him. You’re gonna be up there anyway, just put in the reps

So I made my new years stew this morning and the blessings have already begun

Me: is. You: ought?!?!?! Me: no, is. You: OUGHT?!?!?! Me: once again, is. You: OuGhT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Less a yearning for genuine corruption I think than an instinct that proper party politics should be possible. I don’t think her campaign has much real exposure here, but agree this isn’t the kind of thing we should want campaigns to do. Parties should be doing it. A web of state laws prevents that

I get the feeling no one on bluesky is yet aware of the metaverse vertical drama scams

Hulu live TV seems completely hostile to their concept of live TV

I’m always glad when the Egg Bowl gets some hype because it’s exactly like the Iron Bowl or the Lone Star Showdown but there’s zero justification for it. Just a bunch of guys in a field trying to kill each other for nothing but the raw joy of spite

Oh I begin to feel the old buzzing in my longbones as the day approaches. Never has a November passed without the need for war. I hate Alabama and I always will and hope to fuck we can piss all over their season and make them fire their coach

This is a tough conversation to have basically anywhere online but this is one of many reasons terms like “unlawful order” and “war crime” have much narrower meanings than casual social media discourse would suggest, & specific incidents are *always* adjudicated in court

What’s this guy feeling like today

It’s over for you. I’ve already assumed the longsuffering but satisfied countenance of the victorious Zohran Mamdani, and projected upon you the idiot grin of the smitten, beguiled, and thoroughly outwitted Donald Trump

Boy howdy did we all collectively call out shot and land it on this one

Making sure when I die everyone knows I hated the Senate

Nothing I have ever read, no class I’ve ever taken, nothing I can think of at all, was ever as affecting or did more to turn me into a feminist as seeing what men say to women online. That was like 20 years ago now & the only thing that’s changed is they’re way weirder now.

This guy hits Everyone Is Twelve, Everything Is Gender, and also every pathology @sodrock.bsky.social has ever diagnosed simultaneously

There are so many unnecessarily salacious sex stories emerging about a montage reel of all the trashiest public figures from the last 40 years that I’m beginning to think we’re all being roped into some kind of elaborate exhibitionist orgy

They’re calling it the Gulp of America

Imagine telling yourself in 2010 about the current state of ESPN.

People talk about how it’s different after 10k but if you break even 1500 followers on any platform, every single post gets one of these no matter what your subject is or what you think about it

Crazy how you just already know who it would vote for if the weather could vote

Dems in Disarray (laudatory)

If you’re a man in your 30s and have fallen into the trough where it feels hard to make friends, you can still just pick a subject and turn it into comparing power levels. Greatest big man in NBA history. GOATed species of bear. Best electric power tool manufacturer. You can still do this for hours

Cam Coleman is a complete alien. He’s from the future. He’s from the space future

Working on some pretty big campaign ideas

Watching BYU and Texas Tech at the wedding reception but shaking my head so people know I disagree

the entire classical and modern political tradition was designed around 'how do we stop tyrants' and we moderns were like "maybe we're built different"

Georgia had 27% of the turnout of last year’s presidential election for an off-off-cycle election where the biggest offices on the ballot were two seats on the Public Service Commission

I do not regret to inform the chat that things do, in fact, matter

Has anyone ever been excommunicated for posting

It would be so funny if we hit a point in this administration where all the republican senators screen calls from the president

The firing of Brian Kelly and Hugh Freeze so close together at this moment in the turning is a blaring alarm that signals the imminent arrival of Woke 2

I bet a lot of people on Bluesky get the Jennifer Lopez song Waiting For Tonight stuck in their heads all the time for no discernible reason

This is so important in these times

Business concept: you charge rent to people who can’t afford cigarettes anymore so they can inhale your secondhand smoke

*to the tune of american woman* osama bin laden

COCKS UP

I love when the commentator says “they’ve really struggled on third and long.”

Auburn’s elite defense, frustrated after 4 straight losses, has unveiled a version of football where you don’t need offense to win

Legit question for football Americans - How do you fill the 30-50 head coach vacancies in college football that open up within 5-9 weeks while the teams still play?
