Great piece by Marisa

Should women be hated as witches or patronized as overgrown children? The paper of record debates the two available options.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Post something random for the collective amusement.

Before these really long boring Oval Office events where everyone is standing except Trump, someone from the White House should explain to attendees not to lock their knees

I ruined my workplace by sewing and mailing masks to everyone in my department who wanted one when the pandemic first hit.

Or he might, you know, toodle off to Turkey or somewhere

It's been 43 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

Mandate

Mayor Mamdani just passed 1 million votes in the count 💖

Just voted for you @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and to paraphrase an absolute lunatic, I hope that soon your haters will be your waiters at the table of success. #NYCGOTV

Dick Cheney’s Wikipedia page has been updated to “was” so it’s official! Not the guy I was trying for but I’ll take it

RIP Teen Vogue

Exododus: when dotards leave the city

I don’t know, does there really have to be this much spitting?

Many such instances

Situation in Sudan not making headlines, beyond grim

Important announcement: the mascot of the upcoming Winter Olympics is the stoat.

The central lie — the key dishonesty — of modern conservatism is that being judgmental about the ethnicity or language or culture of the person next door is fine and acceptable, but being judgmental of that attitude is elitist and arrogant and closed-minded. What vapid bullshit.

I think many Americans need to read the Bionic Bunny Show. I think our President needs to have it read to him.

Mike Johnson has dissolved Congress

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.” www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/w...

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

So who’s the hater and who’s the waiter?

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

What is continually baffling to me is US punditry’s fixation on a candidate’s experience being related to their electability. FOLKS, TRUMP GOT ELECTED WITH ZERO POLITICAL EXPERIENCE. It’s not about experience…it’s about fame.

You may not have food or healthcare for your children, but did you know that the White House will now have a classy dance floor for nepotistic pedophiles

SWEAR HER IN

At what point do we acknowledge that Johnson has effectively dissolved Congress?

Photos obtained by Law Dork show the dramatic extent of the first step in Trump's purported plan to build a new ballroom on White House grounds with private funds.

This long ago stopped being just about Adelita Grijalva.

Bye fella, don’t let the door hit you on the way out

The East Wing of the White House is gone. It’s like a tornado ripped through. Make way for the McMansion

New York Senators’ office lines are wide open just saying

Behold: Republican permitting reform.

It's this photo if you missed it, savaging the East Wing to make a vanity ballroom.

Just a normal day being normal: Trump indicated he didn’t know anything about it, and then, without realising Rudd was in the room, asked where that ambassador was now. When he realised the ambassador was sitting right in front him, he said: “I don’t like you either - and I probably never will.”

Are you ready for Opus DEI

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

We are going to tell DT to devour feculence right back

I mean, he’s not even first on the list, but I felt it needed to be said.

This website is super-informative, and also has a huge list of alternative suppliers at the bottom.

Who is this Mandani chap I’ve been hearing so much about?

The Knesset visit was just a big Trump love fest that included cheering for Ivanka and Jared, and an explicit shout out the Project 2025. 🤢

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

I think RFK is going to cause my autism.
