Just gonna start giving the biker nod to political posts in my feed as part of an effort to reduce spam texts asking for money. Likes = spam

Asheville city council meeting starts at 5. Main item is the public hearing on the annual budget, which just keeps getting more horrific each year. @matildabliss.bsky.social and @davidforbes.bsky.social will cover live. #avlgov #avlnews

We've gotten some questions about our reporting on the city budget, specifically our source for city manager DK Welsey's $265,000/yr salary (which is, indeed, more than the mayor of New York). Our source is city government's own documents, specifically her December 2025 contract. #avlgov #avlnews

If you have family in Delaney Hall contact the ACLU of New Jersey immediately. The Governor cannot get in. A Senator was pepper sprayed trying. Your legal path is the Federal Tort Claims Act or a civil rights lawsuit. The system is designed to exhaust you before you can fight it. Do not let it.

MASSIVE fan of this one:

So @therickwilson.bsky.social told me about what’s happening in Florida youtu.be/HdT8SkdYq2A?...

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

My man! I love this

By the time he was announced as Reform UK's candidate against Andy Burnham in the #Makerfield by-election, Robert Kenyon's previous Reform UK X account had been mysteriously suspended. We found the archive. 419 tweets. Here's what they reveal. 🧵 1/12 bylinetimes.com/2026/05/20/r...

i'll add that the people trying to fight this are *hopelessly* outgunned in terms of media firepower regardless of if you're uk or elsewhere, you can give them a boost by hitting 'follow all' on this (small) starter pack go.bsky.app/8TE1E4D

Kinda becoming clear that an externality of excessive internet is the collapse of causal understanding. Like, what the hell do you mean, does labor increase the price of a good? What do you think is happening in the world? Where do things come from? Do you believe stuff just materializes?

Hey reporters sleeping deeply on the many Surgeon General stories you missed/plagiarized from me: I broke the story about Stephanie Haridopolos, the grossly unqualified liar Trump has now tapped to perform the duties of the SG, more than a year ago. Do your damn jobs. At the very least, catch up.

Traverse City protest draws attention to potential drinking water and ecosystem impacts from Enbridge’s proposed Line 5 pipeline tunnel. https://planetdetroit.org/2026/05/line-5-protest-traverse-city/

www.reddit.com/r/interestin... That's weird. Look at his neck

The proper headline here is CHARGES DISMISSED DUE TO DOJ MISCONDUCT www.cnn.com/2026/05/21/u...

And now $1.776 billion payouts to ANTIFA and liberals? Make it make sense kids 🤣

Maybe listen to those of us who have understood the movement since day 1.

RFK, Jr. is a nightmare for our Country and he needs to go!!

This guy messes with #AI so you don't have to: youtu.be/_zU9TW4SB4w?...

this is a masterpiece

Made the final payment on my car. Now we wait.

when have I ever led you astray

Magnesium is apparently the new apple cider vinegar.

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

Over 550 men in California have fallen ill after cutting natural or factory-made stone countertops. But epidemiologists say this isn't just a California problem. n.pr/4tRh1O0

Non-profit NY charity uses bait and switch tactic to fund coffers by showing pre-teens in commercials, but proceeds primarily benefit young Jewish adults with free trips to Israel and matchmaking services. Giving out 🎒 with your logo everywhere is all you need to keep your non-profit IRS status 🤦‍♀️

Jesus Christ this is the most chilling thing I've read in ages. The "new understanding of truth" described here is not new in any way, it is basically a return to pre-literate dark ages & the inevitable result is going to be fascism.

Happening now: Members of Congress from across the country are gathered in Montgomery's Legacy Park to send a clear message to the nation that the rollback of voting rights will not happen quietly, unchallenged, or without organized resistance. #AllRoadsSouth

@juliewhite28.bsky.social This is what you should tell anyone who asks why you're posting political comment. And if they don't know what the Edmund Pettis Bridge reference is all about, educate them: youtu.be/dPCF6_E2Tq4?...

Chris Nolan has my teen grandkids reading Homer and Taylor Swift got them to read Hamlet. Not hating it. #TheOdyssey

This MAHA grift is out of control! Examples of pop up grifter med/ product ads on my word game on phone this a.m. Psst hint, an influencer wearing a white doctor jacket does NOT make them an expert. Every time you click the link THEY GET paid whether or not you fall for it. Smarten up folks

Watch how legacy media whitewash Tommy Robinson as an "anti-Islam activist", and fail to acknowledge his white nationalist, anti-black racism. At @bylinetimes.bsky.social we trawled through his own posts: Please share to help folks see what he's really about bylinetimes.com/2026/05/15/h...

Yes, Florida is the only state removing children from Medicaid. This is against the law and will go to court. #ChildrenMatter #ACA www.politifact.com/factchecks/2...

Gas is currently $5.09 in my area. Minimum wage in PA is $7.25 You gotta work 45 mins for a gallon of gas to drive to your minimum wage job. How much longer before people just stop showing up because it's unaffordable to do so?

Peacocks are good if you want your neighbors to feel like they live next to a haunted house but you can’t afford an actual possessed accordion or whatever

Welp. Samsung message service is becoming Google messages. So it begins.

They don’t want to pay people like me to drive trucks to pick up and drop off and stage set dressing. The result will be soulless images with pretty people talking. I’m starting to think that all directors should be forced to work below the line gigs before sitting in the directors seat.

so cool how the government is run entirely by oversized toddlers and lights-on-but-no-one-home grandpas

Basically ,this is how my mind works in rush hour traffic youtu.be/XBnYEscrKs4?...

Brain-only lol. Lmao, even.

If you are in line for woke 2, stay in line.

The FBI Director turned a Senate hearing into a reality-show screaming match over drinking allegations. That should scare the hell out of every American paying attention.

House Oversight's Robert Garcia says Dems will release a new report May 12 that he says will detail, from bank records, how the sweetheart deal that Alex Acosta helped further enrich Jeffrey Epstein and expand the network of sexual abuse of adolescent girls. "This report is just the beginning."

3rd week since I turned the volume off on my Trumpy coworkers computer and he can't figure out advanced settings.
