You know he’s broken Twitter if he’s now recycling the Reddit posts he used to spin as his own insight during @karaswisher.bsky.social interviews (before he got Twitter addicted and lost his “charm”).

Anyone that didn’t expect this style of illegal military flex after Trump borrowed a trick from the CCP in renaming the South America Sea wasn’t paying enough (cynical) attention.

This isn't news coverage. It's a football pregame show full of baseless speculation interrupted by the discover that it's Tuesday and the stadium is empty.

Proof those of us who still use Wikipedia and click through the citations are superior humans. Duh.

Team lead by insurance lawyer narrowly indicts ham sandwich.

Great great great @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social on the whole Kimmel thing and the importance of fighting for free speech. I will note that even though the first 30 minutes don't seem to be about Kimmel, they're (1) hilarious and (2) set up the Kimmel stuff... www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tYd...

Charlie Kirk on Pope Francis:

They’re busy trying to craft the perfect “retard” joke and calling Tony gay.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

The endless failure/forgiveness loop can be ignored on the right 100%. It’s the DEI mechanism that keeps fools in their jobs and failing up toward power. Kilmeade’s apology is noted as HR-complete to save his own skin. Nothing more.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

If Bluesky-ism is a rejection of building large anti-speech firing/cancelling databases in public, then I'm all for it.

"The man who shot Charlie Kirk was a conservative white man from Utah. But the fact that we assumed it was a transgender Mexican demonstrates how out of control Leftist rhetoric has gotten." Tomorrow in the Washington Post

I can't believe @wsj.com had a full glinner-style trans-panic freak out because the podcast bro currently running the FBI interpreted some symbols.

This is correct. Trump was almost killed by a member of his beloved "basket of deplorables" that he invited under the Republican tent.

In a world where you can tweet to the AI researcher that dunks on Elon, @cnn.com is booking Sinema to yammer to a completely inexpert panel and audience. "News."

I'm not sure if this is more embarrassing for The Young Turks or Tucker. One is doing the same JAQ'ing he's done since leaving institutional news. The other prove they haven't googled about 9/11 in the 25 years prior to turning on their cameras. Why don't people in independent media know things?

That's a bit unsettling to hear from an organization built on top of mastering safety tolerances. He sounds like the type of management dork currently ruining Boeing.

The world would be so much better if @pornhub.com finally rolled out negative conditionals in search so we could add "-stepmom" to searches and find normal shit.

I certainly hope @contrapoints.bsky.social spends some time here. The site TOS makes the blocking load so much lighter here. Twitter is just a bad product with bad content now.

Guy so famous for incompetent hiring that “you’re fired” became his catch phrase continues delivering fantastically predictable outcomes.

I refuse to talk #LabLeak with people who don't watch This Week in Virology. It was zoonotic spillover. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ1F...

I'd have loved it if the @nytimes.com had assigned someone to read RFKjr's wildly "cited" book 4 years ago. Dude has been cosplaying science-y for over two decade and newspapers rarely bother to check.

After Jomboy brought up in a previous breakdown, I can't unsee it in this one: umpire eyeline positioning needs to be tracked (maybe @umpscorecard.bsky.social can do it). Some guys set up to watch the inside edge and can't see the outside with any accuracy. #MLB youtube.com/shorts/QZ-i4...

Honestly unimpressed by @cnn.com failing to make him to come back here and shill his unnecessary book.

On of the more humanizing elements of sports podcasting has been the visibility of how extremely *professional* and relentless these guys are about the work of sport. The continued flirtation with an obviously unserious Rodgers is just boggling to me. Terry sees that and says it.

I feel like Bluesky is becoming more legitimate just because it has detected I'm a left-of-center American and it keeps recommending gutter-tier liberal dipshits posting unflattering pictures and try-hard memes.

Justice Thomas seems to ask open-ended questions like he’s fishing for a creative writing prompt for a legal fanfic blog he called “Concurrence”. #SCOTUS

Piker's "talking to the cops for clout" and hints at criminality is a foolhardy gamut in normal times. Now, he might want to set down his radical social theory and brush up on self-incrimination and US law. But he's got Rogan-esque levels of self-confidence...

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

Catturd will never cease to amaze me. Somehow both politically and economically viable simply by mass posting into an algorithm-friendly rage niche. A first-order Internet-only creation of a raw data flow.

Hey, @ifbookspod.bsky.social some of your premium episodes won’t download due to server permissions. Most download fine, but some are broken.

I cannot recommend playing the @cenkuygurtyt.bsky.social drinking game. He brought up the #DonorClass so many times with Dr. Phil I'm headed to the ER. Watching on 2x not recommended. #dgg

In addition to @acollierastro.bsky.social's excellent variants, I propose "Gell-Mann alienation": the feeling when you suddenly exit a "high-IQ" fandom (Musk, Peterson, Harris, etc) upon hearing them sound like morons in an area of one's own subject matter expertise (often on the JRE podcast).

I swear @destiny.gg is a holographic projection of @michaelhobbes.bsky.social’s ego. Does the reading (on camera). Loves the f-word (too much). Yells at Hanania (on video call) in Relentless Liberal… #dgg youtu.be/D0EYDgk2xf4?...

Sending #HugOps to the Grinding Gear Games team launching Path of Exile 2 in less than 24 hours. Looks like the rollout and scaling is going to be difficult. With the website glitching, the curses of success have fallen upon them. Good luck and fast fingers, team!

So many health scams amount to salesmen trying to tell us that one specific tree in a forest means us harm. Like, bro. I'm just hiking.

Rogan's pseudo-science hug box podcast has some real spikes to it. Both Flint Dibble and Peter Hotez have suffered real-world consequences for daring to be experts in his forum.

Hey #TeamScience, thanks for all your support! 🧪 Let's speak truth to power youtu.be/KR9_oLmoQVI

I'm not paying for anyone who wants to put a "colony" on Mars until someone shows they can get pregnant and deliver on the moon. Otherwise, I know you're just building hotels.

I think @destiny.gg #dggL gives a useful framing for the actual problem underlying the "Joe Rogan of the Left" thought exercise. He also sort of proposes solutions and emulates them while talking to PF Jung, who seems trapped in a Trump-themed information bubble.

I nominate Ken "Popehat" White and Steve Vladeck for #daliban inclusion and @piscolitty.bsky.social coverage. They do fantastic, non-partisan coverage on both the law and the judiciary. Plus, everyone should watch the bizarre FedSoc conference panel that is being discussed right now.

As excited as I am for @bsky.app growth, as a developer my thoughts are with the sign-up/verification team as they embark on understanding and countering the bot threat. Go Team!

Vladeck's remarks are insightful and actually on topic (I'm still watching) and a stark contrast to Ho and Shanmugam who seem focused on bog standard "people are mean on the internet, rawr" in fancy clothes.

WIth @jamellebouie.net exploring streaming, I really hope he can join in to talk politics and history with the existing liberal crowd like Pisco, Hutch, and Jessiah: www.twitch.tv/pisco

Riffing on @hankgreen.bsky.social, I propose using not "Musk's X" but "X, Musk's Twitter" along side "Truth Social, Trump's Twitter". Neither is subject to democratic or market forces (privately owned, meme stock). They're sole-proprietorship algorithmic entertainment, not public squares.

The "comedy is legal now" guys seem to be mounting a structural attack on ordinary American absurdist punchlines.

I’m so glad there’s a useable microblogging site. I like it here.
