It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

Man this is delightful

You’ll be shocked to find the name behind this: Paul Ingrassia.

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

They are straight up robbing taxpayers blind at this point and not even trying to hide it. Just ransacking the treasury out in the open. This motherfucker pleaded guilty! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

He says this the same week in which we learned the median home buyer is now 59 years old. Average age of first time buyers is 40. Immigrants built your house, dipshit. Assholes like your boss don’t pay them enough to own one.

we need to bring the hammer down on wealthy and connected elites. it’s been desperately needed for a long time. regardless of party or politics.

Looks like it’s time to break this one out again

Remember that MAGA is openly authoritarian.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

I'm sorry for the people in the article just now realizing it, but it's been clear for a while that some of the big institutions like Heritage have been staffed by what we used to call neo-nazis.

Baseball, like everything else in the US, would be way more boring without any foreign-born people.

This game has been so exciting that even Rob Manfred might be watching it.

Has this World Series consistently featured the highest quality of baseball? No. Has it featured the widest array possible of beautiful, weird, specific baseball delights? Yes.

Re-watching the ninth inning. It appears Blue Jays Chris Bassit drew #51 on his cap for Dodger Alex Vesia. What a class act.

Same

“The Shohei game” - “which one?” “The Freddie Freeman game” - “which one?” “The 18-inning game 3 of the World Series that ended with a walk-off home run” - “which one?” Man, we’re spoiled

There is 100% a guy who brought a girl to the World Series game with the hopes it would get him laid and is now, like both teams on the field, unable to score

I truly wish that I were joking x.com/dhsgov/statu...

Is Bill Burr on this site? “A second person, Jalal al-Labbad, who was executed on August 21, was convicted on similar charges related to participating in protests when he was a child.”

Ken Holland, ladies and gentlemen.

when all is said and done it looks reasonably likely that bin laden will have taken down not just the us but the entire west

"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil." Great essay from @juliusgoat.bsky.social

Some Americans think making America weaker, poorer, more chaotic, less reliable, with fewer friends, worse relationships with democracies, and damaging international institutions America set up and benefited from is good. Not sarcasm. I think they’re very wrong, but they’re getting what they want.

look i'm just gonna say: everyone involved in this shit needs to go to jail

PCA is in a blood feud with that center field wall

Some kid is doing the standard “ur mom” voice chat trash talk and they got no idea they’re talking to bashar al assad

The sheer joy of sports BlueSky right now is making me smile. This is what social media is supposed to be.

Look what they took from us.

I too am keen to "restore trust in news" by turning a major broadcast network into a 24/7 slurry of right wing culture war propaganda and engagement trolling

Portland Antifa seeing those Texas guard boys roll through

Genius

Hell yeah, Bernie.

whenever i walk past a church or a temple that has to have armed security (which is a lot of them) it breaks my heart

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

until there's a Republican congress and a Democratic president, in which case it will suddenly be very important. the country cannot function as a real democracy with corrupt, partisan serial liars controlling the Supreme Court; it has to be the first priority of a new administration.

Been thinking about this lately. Historical contingency is something else.

Vought’s threat all but calls forth Lincoln’s searing argument at Cooper Union: “Plainly stated … you will destroy the Government, unless you be allowed to construe and enforce the Constitution as you please, on all points in dispute between you and us. You will rule or ruin in all events.”

exactly. we shouldn't make maga's mistake of thinking people sort into neat ideological camps. a lot of these young white guys are absolutely allergic to earnestness and think *political involvement* is cringe. they still hold reflexive beliefs about power and who has rights to it.

"Children don't remember what you try to teach them," Jim once said. "They remember what you *are*." Look a child in the eye when you speak with them. Don't talk down to them. Love and support them. And remember: they're smarter than you think. Oh, and make them laugh. ALWAYS make them laugh. /7

@officialjackwhite.bsky.social has the opportunity to make the funniest f’ing video clip.

I have cystic fibrosis, and I don't know many others here on Bluesky, but I'd like to make cf friends. If you have the cfs, then comment and say hi.

Our problem is not the depravity, corruption, and narcissism of the president and his second rate minions, it’s the cowardly compliance of a great many wealthy and powerful people who could stop him and aren’t.
