On the internet, age verification doesn't know you're a dog.

It's one of the first things the Ukrainians wanted (because of how long it would take) and Biden and co. rebuffed it because mwah escalation

“I'd speak in the language of science but lean on the logic of sermon.”

This is the big thing. One of the fascinating trends with Latino voters is they typically do not prioritize immigration (they tend to care about the economy, health care and education) UNLESS they feel uniquely targeted. This happened with Prop 187 and SB 1070

Plus not being incredibly racist towards Latino swing voters

Just because you were pardoned doesn't suddenly make you innocent, fool.

Last night on CNN, Batya (who has a PhD in English literature) was trying to explain the laws of warfare to a former JAG officer.

What in the Ace Attorney ass system

The Atlantic tried to prove that disability accommodations are bad, accidentally proved that they work

MTG says in her letter that she never valued power, titles, or attention.

RIP BOZO

People talk about drugs like the natural state of humans is immortality. “That only helps as long as you take it!” Well, Bob, taking it for 50 years is actually easily accomplished after which point I won’t need it any more

trying to start a moral panic and the stories are all like “the ADHD meds really helped but didn’t solve everything”

Is there a single picture ever taken of Trump looking at his wife like this

X: Nazis Bluesky: Nazis (different flavor)

Chat: does it bode well for these fucks if they’re getting chased off the job by unarmed kids in North Carolina?

Call me paranoid, but I do not trust them not to at least try doing a funny now that Donald suddenly changed his tune.

Okay, look. I’m sure there are some libs in the Epstein files and if they did crimes, they should rot in prison same as any other sex trafficker or rapist. But you all gotta promise to be at least a little suspicious if they say “OBAMA AM 3 TRANSGENDER KOMMUNIST PEDO IN A TRENCHCOAT” in crayon.

Like MTG is clearly trying to carve out her own neo-MAGA space out for the day when the orange god king passes on

Make it a Friday the 13th style slasher series called Bill Comes Due

Reality show where a different member of the Democratic caucus is locked in a room with Bill Kristol for 24 hours

'you just don't understand how recondite and archaic the Senate is' 'so you're working to change it, right?' *anakin face*

Fuck Dick Durbin, all my homies hate Dick Durbin

I mean fundamentally a huge problem is that they're all stuck in a miserable institution that doesn't work because they all prioritize their own power and comfort over the ability to actually pass legislation so they become chummy because what else is there to do when you're all bored to tears

Libraries matter. Access matters. After years of legal battles, the Internet Archive is still here—and still fighting for a world where everyone can read, learn, and remember. @arstechnica.com tells the story: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Tag yourself, I'm Adderall-addicted dog mom diversity consultants

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

How obvious is the Nazism? "Solomon Friedman" is not the chairman or the managing partner of the PE firm that owns P*rnhub. He's the VP of Compliance.

“we wanted to shield our sons from the gay agenda so we took them to a third world hellhole where they will be drafted into an imperial war of aggression and die to some Ukrainian smashing an FPV drone with an RPG warhead strapped to it against the side of their Lada” brilliant plan

His favorite Halloween candy (moistened meat paste, tubed)

Following your principles wherever they take you—& in particular being willing to break with the social groups with which they were once associated—is a rare thing worth lauding when the principles are good or even just defensible

Personally I think this sounds like a reasonable state with rational motives for its actions that can be expected to abide by a ceasefire and cooperate with us in exchange for some good-faith concessions, just like John Mearsheimer says

Throwing this out to #dissky #disablilty #accessibility ♿ What laptop stand is best for someone who's bedbound and can't lift their head? My family member got into a bad car accident and broke their neck, and is going to be in a brace for a while

This is exactly how mainline Republicans convinced themselves to support Trump in 2016 (He'll appoint our judges, it doesn't matter that he's recorded bragging about sexual assault)

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not. I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.

❗️Human Rights Watch @hrw.org issues a comprehensive summary of atrocities committed by federal agents in Chicago and suburbs. 👓 Read it all. ➡️ Call on your reps to act. @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social

I think Platner can still turn this around if he moves to Idaho, where his glaring weakness turns into a strength

there are other democrats in the race, my good bitch

Incredible things happening in the replies here

Not saying OP specifically is guilty of this, but it's entertaining how Blueskyers regularly like to bitch about "Calvinism" (really antinomianism) while simultaneously holding a view where the American public's choice in 2024 means they are all damned for all eternity, may never be permitted

You think a tattoo of the symbol of the people who ran Auschwitz is bad? Well I have a devastating counterpoint for you: America bad

"no one on this site knew about the existence of the SS until today"

Real minisoldr vibes from Graham Platner
