No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.

In a way, aren’t we all traveling to turkey today?

The meal before the meal

Thankful to my Bluesky feed for giving me these two posts from @mamavitelli.bsky.social and @baronduki.bsky.social back to back

oh fox sports doing a segment about the guy who cried when the lions won the wildcard game against the rams 😭

remember folks thanksgiving is the one day that your dog is allowed to plug in all twenty of your toasters on the same circuit as a treat

Not sure that sort of thing went well for them last time

You can tell they are Protestant at heart because real Catholics who disagree with the Pope acknowledge his authority, say thank you Holy Father, and then just quietly ignore the guidance.

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

how it started vs how its going! 3 years ago today, fish dad and i got the best black friday deal of all

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

So Olivia Nuzzi is clearly a piece of shit who can never work in journalism again after this. And, also, Ryan Lizza is clearly a piece of shit who should never work in journalism again after this either. We're all agree on that, right?

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit. All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.

CORRECTION: West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey walks back statement that both National Guard members were killed in shooting near White House. (This post corrects a previous post that stated the two members had died.)

he was tired of seeing the interior offensive line collapsing

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”

oh this is absolutely what i think. i think they feed him fake polls and outright AI slop

and he immigrated to israel so he wouldn’t have to face any consequences from those accusations

When your cat takes the family photo.

so i prevented a cyber crime at my job today (an employee at another company email was compromised and the criminals tried to get us to change the company's bank info so payments went to them) 😎

Yes. Also voters like it when you stand for something. "I don't care if Republicans think we're wrong or if it's not popular, I'm standing up for my neighbors and friends" has benefits beyond the issue itself.

clarence thomas has no jurisprudential argument, he just hates women and thinks the constitution doesn’t protect a varia suit

not stevens who received millions from aipac to beat andy levin! i’m shocked! SHOCKED i tell you

i have something to say

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

It is impossible to guess what this is a reply to

This is a huge win that you might have missed last week: we successfully pressured airlines to shut down their data broker, which was selling passenger data to the government without a court order. I'm going to keep at it until other industries to follow suit.

Good morning. In the past 24 hours, more Americans have Googled “felching” than have searched for “turkey recipes”

british people don’t understand english isn’t a stagnant language

@kenzotenmas.bsky.social i hope you played gibbs this week

GIVE GIBBS AND BATES THE GAME BALLS

sucks to suck. they’ve killed hundreds of thousands of children. i won’t lose a second of sleep if they are sentenced to life in prison for violating every national security law in the book

Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

When will Elon pay the tariffs on all his imported tweets?

the last 24 hours on X, summed up:

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand. The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

i hope the michigan fans boo patricia out of the big house next saturday

Just remembering how one of the most important and widely read and dropped-with-maximally-damaging-timing "Biden is old and senile" pieces was reported by Nuzzi. It makes you think!

people are reading "catch-and-kill" in the journalistic sense but she was probably just finding raccoons for him to eat
