The American Century of Humiliation continues apace.

"Worse than Bush after Katrina" is a polling benchmark that I thought that partisan polarization had made impossible

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

Hello refugees from X, The Everything App! Come, pull up a stool! It's Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil here on Bluesky!

NEWS ANCHOR: we're getting word that two dozen ICE agents are in hospital after they started kissing a beautiful woman in a skimpy outfit with platinum blond hair only for her to tragically explode because she was actually a big stack of TNT.

Very cool to live at the start of the American Century of Humiliation. I wonder what we’ll all do for money in thirty years.

funniest running bit on twitter is "gentle r kikuo johnson new yorker cover drives idw and tpot types insane trying to interpret it"

I was told that Steam Frame would fix this

Hm I wonder if any Brazilians were planning on a trip up here for the World Cup. Anyhow.

Former youth soccer player Zohran Mamdani has the opportunity to do something incredibly funny rn

Rest of us posters walking around rubbing two sticks together and he's got a lighter

these videos have raised more than $180,000(!) for a variety of urgent causes over the last few years. this year i'm once again supporting the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, whose work is tragically as vital as ever. please consider giving if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/david-ehrl...

everyone say thank you to Jeff Software from @jeffsoftware.com for making this very easy little subscription calendar applet so that I don't have to manually plug in an entire seasons' worth of MLS bullshit

living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be

But please, NYPD... tell me more about the scourge of bicycles.

does anyone have an extra fifty thousand they could spare, life is too expensive and i have plans

RHEA!!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

personally i'm of the opinion that anyone who worked on this polymarket "integration" with the Golden Globes should be sent to an eighteenth-century debtors' prison

Unfortunately part of the incoming OBAA sweeps tonight at the Globes means I’m going to have to see a bunch of David Zaslav’s stupid face

There are good journalists out there who grasp that we are living in an emergency moment, at the mercy of serial liars, bigots, and government thugs. They are steady. They are clear-eyed. They understand what is needed. And they have been right exponentially more often than the "calm down" crew.

"These days, no one asks me about pronouns; they’re too busy searching for potable water. The victor of the Fourth Great Water War has yet to be determined, but what is certain is that we have decisively defeated the DEI scolds." buff.ly/uQeXWRA

perfect time to catch up on Pluribus

As an outside observer I cannot overstate the degree to which the entire mood of the State of Indiana is riding on this IU team. Haliburton’s injured, the Colts are doing their typical disaster routine, the Fever are a huge question mark, and the 500 isn’t for five months. This is it.

EVERYONE LOCK IN

Some important new government policy that Native Americans might be interested in:

'Tough break with your Aunt and Uncle, but they should have complied with the Stormtroopers'

there's a footnote in here about how NYCFC fans should be furious that the transfer system at CFG only goes one way, and lemme tell you...yeah pretty much!! it sucks!!!

Governor I was not familiar with your game

but if they do that then who will pay Precision Strategies or whatever

Great day to have functioning eyes and a working brain

Most loser-ish pick up your ball and go home behavior imaginable.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Every day they prove this 30 year old joke more and more correct.

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

It’s that time again.

one last time, for the road

Happy New Year. welcome to Mamdani’s New York, where the buses are free and the chai flows like…well, like chai, I guess.

all meaning has collapsed in our post-literate society and i wrote a bunch of useless, useless words about it. read it if you, like me, are one of a diminishing minority who still reads www.theverge.com/policy/84960...

2025 recapped

Likewise heard NYCFC offered more than any other offer, even offered a meeting with new SD Dunivant before his start date to iron it out, but Justin chose new opportunity instead 🤷‍♂️ (😭)
