If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Goddamnit I just realized now I have to change that script again I have a half-hour where one of the act-out jokes was originally about Kissinger being a vampire He died two days after I finished a draft I changed it to Dick Cheney

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

I thought this was the democrats' shutdown? 🙃

why is this mayoral election different than all other mayoral elections? in all other mayoral elections, we get to see andrew cuomo lose but once. but in this mayoral elections, we get to see him lose *twice*.

there is so much good news coming in right now that I imagine this is what life would’ve felt like for millennials if we had been able to live in precedented times

Maybe Dems fared so well tonight because release the Epstein files.

Decision Desk just called the NYC mayor's race for Zohran Mamdani. Eat shit, Andrew Cuomo. And same for all your billionaire backers that tried to buy the people of New York.

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post? This. This is what you get.

So it'll look like this?

A Border Patrol agent was caught on video telling another to throw tear gas “for fun,” according to a court filing. They also mocked protesters and residents who were getting gassed.

wut I don't think we tariff people anymore I can see how that could be confusing for a southern governor tho

ICYMI, Trump posted that he wanted to fund SNAP "as soon as possible . . . [i]f we are given the appropriate legal direction." So a federal judge said "here's the legal direction" and ordered either full payment by today or partial by Wednesday. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Polling on DC is more mixed, but Puerto Rico statehood is objectively popular! Consistently high 50s or 60s. It was an official GOP platform plank for decades until just last year. Also until last year, Puerto Rico's non-voting House member was a pro-statehood Republican. She's now the governor.

You could build a hideous ballroom with a list of things Trump doesn’t know.

On the blog, I preview the issues in Wednesday's SCOTUS oral argument in the tariff case. I also discuss the prominent quotations of Trump's idiocy in the SG's lead brief, which cannot be persuasive but are probably included as a warning to the justices not to cross the mad king who loves tariffs.

We say they're being cute, when really they're just mocking us

ALL YOUR DATA ARE BELONG TO BEZOS

It shouldn't matter if a plan for healthcare reform is leaked because it affects the people and the people should be able to voice their support or opposition!

The country is being run by people who want to hurt others and watch them suffer. If mental illness is present, it is not what makes them act like this.

In other words, BE ALERT AND DRIVE SLOWLY. Expect that children will be children. They have limited impulse control and might dart out in front of your car, even as someone tries to keep them from doing so.

The peace president is about to start a war.

This is why we have the shutdown. The REPUBLICAN shutdown.

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price? $2733.15 a month.
