Outstanding pick Mr. Trump!

Day #127: Miss Piggy (1980)

Enjoying the sights of Dubrovnik. The sights:

I hate how people are arguing with me about Biden’s culpability when he explicitly named the bill “Build Back Better” to restore “normal” and also kept saying frequently throughout the campaign that he expected Republicans to support some of his policies—deliberately undermining himself.

This is a reminder for those of you not around for the Bush admin James Comey is a bonkers super right-winger. There are so many stories of him meddling illegally to tip the scales toward the right while a US Attorney and FBI. Fascism no matter how right you are will in the end come for you too.

"A rabbi associated with the congregation gave Mr. Mamdani a challah." 👋 I promise to continue sending him challah for at least 8 more Rosh Hashanahs at Gracie Mansion. If he will accept 😉

A little musical interlude for @erinbiba.bsky.social

The mainstream media continues to be absolute fucking willfully ignorant useless trash when it comes to internet culture and as a result is stoking partisan terror.

This is cool as hell. Media gotta look out for media!!

That thing where you’re a huge nerd and you see a sentence starts with “it’s been a long road”

I’ve had to turn off the conversation awareness feature on my AirPods (which pauses playback every time it hears your voice), as it was constantly interrupting music and podcasts cause apparently I am relentlessly talking out loud to myself.

i'm sorry but the cantaloupe hate is out of control today. genuinely one of the BEST fruits imo

EXCLUSIVE: Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin will halt abortions in October in response to the GOP budget "defunding" provision It's the first known PP affiliate to drop abortion services in the wake of the law:

Yes I will be fighting back against the unjust firing by @washingtonpost.com. I have filed a grievance and will be represented by none other than the amazing @katiephang.bsky.social and an incredible legal team. Journalistic freedom is a bedrock of a healthy society and is worth battling for.

"Fans have urged The Pokémon Company to sue the US government for using the theme song. However, the company’s former chief legal officer told IGN that a lawsuit is highly unlikely because the company is “INSANELY publicity-shy” and “many of their execs in the USA are on green cards.”"

We're gonna drop an exclusive story about H-1B work visas at @thexylom.com shortly. It will be unpaywalled as always and you'll want to read it

Here’s how we know the tides have turned and the Times has given up on smearing this man: at not point in this interview did they bring up Jews.

I have given entire talks on why The Nightmare Before Christmas is, almost certainly in spite of Tim Burton, a fantastic educational tool on how cultural appropriation works. On how consuming a cultural touchpoint for your own, and then regurgitating it and missing the point, lessens the thing.

sure we all laughed when eric adams showed up like he thought king david had admirals, but then we found out that's a traditional coat for a very old central asian jewish culture, and now we're all enjoying reading "bukharian (judeo-tajik dialect)," and we've all grown up a little, what a crazy day

Frog came into the house. “Toad,” said Frog, “your pants and jacket are lying on the floor.” “Tomorrow,” said Toad from under the covers. “Your kitchen sink is filled with dirty dishes,” said Frog. “Tomorrow,” said Toad.

Today I heard the words that no chronically ill person should ever have to hear… “You’re not getting better fast enough” Please don’t say this to the disabled person in your life Many of us aren’t going to get better Help isn’t coming Our conditions are chronic Don’t guilt us for being sick

One of the most interesting things about Jimmy Kimmel, and what I loved most about his conversation with Bill Burr a few months back, was that they’re both middle-aged white comedians who heard how culture has evolved, took notes, grew up, didn’t get defensive, and became *even more* successful.

He launched a more powerful defense of journalism than the vast majority of mainstream journalists have and that's an indictment of them.

I could have done without all the crying over Kirk and praising his grifter wife, but the rest of this was pretty good, he absolutely demolished the FCC and humiliated Trump, who is gonna be so mad. youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY

Trying to think of a more offensive thing to say than "Have you heard The Good News?" on Rosh Hashanah. "This isn't a problem in Linux..." may be close and more generally applicable.

“HELLO JEWS DID YOU NOTICE I HAVE THE JEW COSTUME TODAY”

This is so fucking offensive I don’t even know where to begin GOOD LORD (With ALT)

i think america would be a better place if everyone just stopped paying attention to politico til they went out of business. there’s no “autism problem” just like there’s no “trans debate.” both of those things are eugenics. both questions are really “should these subhumans be allowed to exist?”

Dueling hurricanes?!? It’s possible next week! It probably won’t work out quite this way. These situations are notoriously difficult for models to handle. But there is truly the potential for two tropical systems off the Eastern Seaboard next week. 1/

IT’S FAT BEAR WEEEEK explore.org/fat-bear-week

I recall how George W Bush reportedly perturbed the President of France with his claiming that the United States waging war upon Iraq was about "Biblical prophecies being fulfilled". Which Chirac himself described as Bush being on "a quasi-mystical mission". So. Yeah.

Ya know, we haven’t heard anything from Shaun King lately that’s been nice I wonder what he’s been up to I….oh….

Shaun King backing up Tucker Carlson that Jews killed Jesus. It is important to state this bluntly (I should actually write a piece about it): Antisemitism is close to getting mainstream. One thing preventing it on the right is Trump's support of Israel, but Carlson and others are pushing it.

If you’re worried about whether the apocalypse has happened or is happening just look around see if you can find a live Jew. That’ll answer your question.

Just a friendly reminder that behind the front of humor should be a deep reminder of the horrors it represents.

Adding insult to injury, this particular time (because this is not the first time that people have believed The Rapture Is Happening Today) is on ROSH HASHANA. Motherfuckers aren't even a TINY bit subtle about their antisemitism.

Happy New Year!

Yeah, it surprises me how few people know that the Rapture involves the violent mass extermination of the Jewish people. As we used to say in TTRPGs, the Jewish people are a material component consumed in casting the Jesus-summoning spell.

All the Jews have to die or convert to trigger the rapture. Then our dead bodies surround Jerusalem and they climb over us to reach Jesus, who will bring them to heaven. It’s why they’re all Zionists obsessed with Israel. Cause they need Jews to go there so we can die. bsky.app/profile/jeff...

I get the rapture jokes and I’m enjoying them as much as the next guy and also I hope everyone is keeping in the back of their minds the fact that these folks are literally praying that all the Jews in the entire world drop dead tonight so they can climb over our dead bodies to reach heaven

Yeah. It's been interesting to see the same news outlets that pushed the anti-trans talking points recoil in horror at how irresponsible Trump's being about autism. Almost as though there's a lesson there for them to take...

I keep telling y’all that your voice and wallet are more powerful than you think, so maybe we should stop listening to the doomers and accelerationists who think things are hopeless — because things are only hopeless if we all give up.

Ok hivemind. My new D&D character is a plasmoid Oath of the Watcher Paladin who had a run in with an aberration and now is an aberration itself as it was taken over by an Aberrant Mind sorcerer. It is internally conflicted about its existence. I need help with a name! Something befitting an ooze.

gosh, I can't imagine why so many leftists chose not to ✨ vote blue no matter who ✨ at the last election 🤔

one of those memes: little brain: the US supports Israel because of ‘the Jewish lobby’ medium brain: the US supports Israel because Israel does the US’s dirty work in the Middle East galaxy brain: the US supports Israel because the Jews all have to die there to trigger the rapture

this is true. it is the unlikely-sounding but real answer to why there is so much fundamentalist Christian support in the US for whatever Israel does (and especially good if what it does causes more antisemitism so more Jewish people move to Israel. they need us all there. to die.)

💯 CORRECT

I grew up believing it would happen "any minute now." I thought I was left behind one time when I didn't know where my family was when I was still a kid. It's wild... glad I got out. But I know so many people irl who think it will happen in their lifetime. They WANT the world to end.

TBH a lot of dispensationalism reads like a sort of "told you so"/revenge scenario toward Jews for initially "rejecting" Christ. This is a quote from evangelical historian Timothy Weber taken from his book Living in the Shadow of the Second Coming: American Premillennialism 1875-1925:

If you’re worried about whether the apocalypse has happened or is happening just look around see if you can find a live Jew. That’ll answer your question.
