"All people should go back to the land where their ancestors lived" is in fact a deeply reactionary political sentiment, no matter how much you may try to dress it up as progressive and liberatory.

disturbing uptick in "we post tweets and talk about them." servile behavior tbh. bluesky is not the Greek chorus for the main character action of twitter, that's loser thinking, have some pride. twitter is dead. post bangers. thank you

Red Lobster went bankrupt because of private equity, not shrimp.

<I’m wheeled into the Pitt> Santos: male, 36, at happy hour, now saying “tummy feel crazy” Al-Hashimi: 47% of men’s bodies reject modern IPAs. They’re too hoppy now Robi: the silent killer. Get him to surgery McKay <alone now, staring straight at camera>: I am the same type of communist as you

Oh so now copyright matters.

People born today will never understand how aggressive some dudes were in the 2000s about needing to eat bacon to feel masculine. They'd make it their entire lifestyle & this was just one of the default types of guys that you'd encounter. Running into a "bacon guy" was just a normal part of life.

The antisemitic influencers who popularized the term “J-pilled” know exactly what it means. www.mediamatters.org/nick-fuentes...

The contradiction between what Wurman put in his scholarly writing, versus what he put in a court document, where he is under penalties of perjury, is enough, IMO, to initiate tenure review at any self-respecting academic institution.

by far the worst tendency on this platform is its tendency to interpret a description of something that happened or is happening as an endorsement of that thing I have been reading Mark on conversion therapy cases for years and he has always been very clear about how awful it is

"Israel" doesn't start with a J.

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

This might actually be the new dumbest shit I have ever read in my life.

Trump has potentially ended free maritime trade, a literally world-changing development that, if it lasts, may do more damage than anything else he has done so far What a phenomenally, historically evil and incompetent failure The Republican Party is a party of failure, defeat, and idiocy

I mean “I am a giant racist coward” is a pretty short explanation

Oh, so they've also been literally stealing from the future to prop up the past, cool cool cool cool

- laundered the reputations of accused rapist Andrew Tate, Nazi sympathizer Nick Fuentes, and Vladimir Putin - said that immigrants make the US “poorer and dirtier” - was literally FIRED from Fox News for being too racist So…no. You don’t “have to hand it to him.” For literally any reason.

Just to be clear, Tucker Carlson has: - repeatedly advocated for the racist Great Replacement Theory - called Iraqis “semi literate primitive monkeys” - said it’s ok for 27-year-olds to marry 16-year-olds - framed trans people as inherently violent - defended a man who killed a BLM protester

They're still committing terrible crimes every day in Minnesota while they commit terrible crimes every day in Iran while they're committing crimes every day in covering up those pedo files.

Chuck Norris jokes were the first memes that people who weren't funny could join in on. A true harbinger.

Ugh, not The Other. Yuck.

Bezos’ ostensibly data-driven strategy for the Post is like he bought an orchard, discovered all of the money is in selling fruit, and ordered that the dead weight of the roots be dug up and burned.

Did ... @gailsimone.bsky.social lie to me I refuse to believe it

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

Admittedly, I haven't done the math here myself, but I certainly take the point.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

finally watched Casablanca. wild in this day and age for something to actually live up to the hype

1. Not enough people know this edit of The Bye Bye Man poster was done by @krisstraub.com 2. Someone actually made a movie called The Pee Pee Poo Poo Man in 2024, which has caused some people to think it was real the whole time and not a meme.

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

Billionaires don't want billions bc they want a luxurious, happy life. That's not what billions buys. Exquisite luxury for life is what $100M buys. Billions buy something very different: Control over other people. The wealth tax is an issue of fundamental freedom and functional democracy.

The only predator I’m watching tonight

Some people are totally sincere when they drop a baity hot take that doesn't hold up to anything but the most motivated examination, and that still doesn't mean you gotta listen

Build a better mousetrap, as they say, and the world will beat a path to your door. Seems like this has corollary meaning to a product where the company kicks in your door and puts their product in everything you own

Hocus Pocus (1993) follows a villainous comedic trio of witches who are inadvertently resurrected by a teenage boy in Salem, Massachusetts on Halloween night.

They want to destroy this? They're doomed. This is stronger than the bonds hate makes.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Fascists only need to win one election to destroy democracy, whereas democrats have to win every election to preserve it. That’s why fascists cannot be allowed into politics, why a tolerant society must never tolerate fascism or it will lose its tolerance. It’s the Popper Paradox and we’re living it

Lisa McGee, the creator of Derry Girls, has a new Netflix show out today, and if the fact that I had to fully search the words "how to get to" before it popped up for me is any indication, they're doing their typical level of promotion for it, so I'm doing my part

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

I guess it is willfully, myopically stupid day on Bluesky

My mother used the Washington Post's book reviews all her life, and even after the post's corruption I still loved that team. The post cost less than the fumes off Bezos's money vault. Killed not for greed. Killed because news is inconvenient. Killed to create the darkness democracy dies in.
