"Hi, Vladimir? Da, da. We have the boxes."

New CBS contributors announced: Grand Moff Tarkin, Lex Luthor, Norman Osborn, Cruella De Ville, Javert, Titus Andronicus, Killmonger, and the Beastfly from Silksong.

It baffles me to this day how a white, aging Gen X crank like Napier continues to have a platform in Hawai‘i to spew outright falsehoods under the guise of both sides journalism. That he manages an outlet with the word aloha in its name is also pretty sickening. alohastatedaily.com/2026/01/09/p...

Honestly, if you wanted to destroy the public's goodwill for a company, you couldn't do it any better than @hawaiianairlines.bsky.social and @alaskaairlines.bsky.social are doing with every single systems and process foul up since the merger. www.reddit.com/r/HawaiianAi...

On behalf of the entirety of humanity, a feature request for all the intrepid app makers out there: if, after installing an update, you've logged me out, how about a notification so that I can log back in at my leisure and not, you know, at the very moment I find myself needing to use the app?

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

John McCain, while looking at death in his future, voted to protect the ACA. There isn't a vessel on this planet that contain the absolute fury we should all be feeling for this cast of absolute fucking losers.

Justice Barrett worried that the tariff refund process would be a mess if the plaintiffs win this case. Maybe you should’ve stayed the administration’s actions upfront. It’s only a mess because SCOTUS allowed it.

Me listening to the SCOTUS arguments: wut? Bluesky SCOTUS Nerds: "NO! You may NOT license fees for exportation as enumerated in Hoskins!!! Justice Gorsuch is floored...FLOORED! Next up, Katyal vs Coney Barret...."

"You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.” Fucking SAVAGE for him to invoke Mario Cuomo.

“...they not only cut off access to our live programming but also deleted all previously recorded shows and events from their subscribers’ libraries.” Perfect way to alienate people who'd recorded sports. Good job, Google, at making yourself even more hated than Disney. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Every day I log on and just see endless videos of ICE agents breaking state, federal, and international laws.

The sad but obvious counterpoint to knowing our "rights" and confidently proclaiming so is the clear video evidence that the President, the DOJ, the DHS, and ICE/CBP/FBI/National Guard seemingly do not care about our "rights" and will routinely, and gladly, violate them without consequence.

Now I know what the "A" in A. Kam Napier stands for. alohastatedaily.com/2025/09/25/p...

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

Gotta be honest and say that it once again feels stressful that all the evil people are doing evil things and making life worse for everyone

Again, not to put too fine a point on it, but Hawai‘i's governor is an actual doctor and yet, he's said pretty much nothing about whether his own constituents will suffer from the CDC's new guidance. Maybe too busy palling around with these people. 🤷

I dunno, seems like having an actual doctor as governor would make this pretty straightforward but, as per usual, Hawai‘i Governor Josh Green is MIA. He should have been the first governor to make such an announcement but until it's a crisis we likely won't hear a peep.

So painful to read Federalist 76, which is about the president's appointment power, in 2025. Hamilton's like, no president would be so degenerate as to appoint only those "personally allied to him," esp since Senate confirmation would 'silently operate' as an "excellent check" on such attempts

Motherfucking wind farms…

A week and a half ago, no one would have said America bombing Iran was anything but crazy. But Bibi Netanyahu successfully got Donald Trump to bring the United States into a war against Iran with almost no debate in America, something Bibi has wanted for decades. Just unbelievable.

Imagine if Obama just started going off on Clint Eastwood way after the election because he stayed mad about the empty chair.

the biggest concern was trump judges allowing him to break the law and it turns out trump is just not going to listen to any judges at all

As an institution, the New York Times has failed. This excellent thread by Michael Hobbes takes apart today's NYT editorial urging democracy defenders to mind their manners as they oppose Trump. NYT seems to hold out hope that lavender oatmilk lattes will be served in the journalist detention camps.

I’m sorry, but what planet is @andrewrsorkin.bsky.social living on where Musk is proving his critics wrong ‘time and again’? The sycophancy of NYT drones is the one remaining Universal constant.

I have an even hotter take, anti Blackness isn't rooted in logic. None of our explainers for their aversion to DEI take in the very real issue of how much pleasure they get out of hate. The most successful bigots still hate equality laws because if they don't have anyone to hate they're unhappy

We have enough resources to satify the poor. We don’t have enough resources to satisfy the rich.

the fundamental problem with these people (not jonathan) is that they don’t seem to believe in anything. if you’re willing to sacrifice one of the foundational rights of constitutional government on the altar of “buh this might not be popular” then what won’t you sacrifice?

Having to disprove that you are not administratively dead is the stuff of dystopian fiction

👀 Bill Kristol as in Bill Kristol?

Bill Maher is the Chuck Schumer of comedy.

🚨 F*ck, 1st case of travel-related measles on Oʻahu. We're on an island, please, please get the vax for your keiki. 🙏🏽

Looks like our good Senator @schatz.bsky.social has re-emerged. No longer doing direct to camera social media hits in faux outrage beard, but he's back on the Senate floor frothing at the mouth about tariffs and Trump idiocy. If only all that passion had produced a stiffer spine when it mattered.

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

Don’t look at me, I voted for the black lady who didn’t want to burn down our economy.

Sorry, but this is exactly why incumbents here cruise to re-election. We simply can't make excuses for bad choices on their part just because they promise to protect federal spending coming into Hawai‘i. In 20 yrs @schatz.bsky.social will be Ed Case, Jr. and that's a grim thought.

Oh, the people back here in Hawai‘i are now sufficiently pissed off with your vote to enable ongoing fascism, Senator.

As he was voting Yes on the CR, @thebulwark.bsky.social posted a speech by @schatz.bsky.social at his full tilt social media fury best, railing against Trump's antics and the destruction he'd unleashed. I don't always agree with the Bulwark kids, but their skewering Schatz for his hypocrisy was 👌.

Mods over on r/Hawaii moving swiftly to protect @schatz.bsky.social from criticism for his appeasement on the CR cloture vote with typically ridiculous message board rule violation nonsense.

They say never meet your heroes. The thing is I met @schatz.bsky.social before he became a resistance hero. So maybe that saying is applicable across the board, if the skeetz timeline is to be believed. Surely our Hawai‘i senator isn't about to validate the Trump/Elon agenda & process. Right?

conservative evangelicals spent a quarter century explicitly tying their religious identity to the most extreme and jingoistic forms of american nationalism up to and including embracing one of the worst degenerates this country has ever produced and they refuse to take responsibility for it

The worm eventually turns. And when it does: absolutely no mercy for these fucking people.

This is without comparison. A man fighting for his democracy, whose citizens have been killed, kidnapped and raped by fascist invaders comes to the Oval Office and is attacked by the President and VP. This is a gangster government. Never been more disgusted in the US.

Figured out what @netflix.com's plan was in utilizing these absolute cringe interviewers on the red carpet: to give these esteemed acting legends a golden opportunity to practice their craft by acting like they aren't dying inside. Thus far, all have failed. #SAGAwards #SAGAwardsOnNetflix

Hearing the stadium cheer when the orange menace was on screen confirms that fans of these two teams are something special. /sarcasm

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

How is this not the biggest, most alarming news in a hurricane of it? Unquestionably the most dangerous man in the world.
