Rank and file mainline Protestants are not liberal. They've never been liberal. They are moving increasingly towards the Republican party. Please stop saying "liberal mainline."

Considering “Gulf of America” is its official government name now and all laws giving the Coast Guard jurisdiction over it call it the Gulf of Mexico, I think all crime is now legal on the Gulf because no one has the authority to stop you.

Americans will go on vacation to a place that isn’t a car sewer, walk and take public transit for 8-12 hrs. a day, notice a change in their health, and attribute it to “they must not have the Illuminati chemicals here”

In case you had any hope left for humanity, while getting lunch I overheard a woman telling her friend about Dr Moreau and his experiments making human animal hybrids. I slowly came to the realization she thought the whole thing was real. My attempt to tell them it was just a book did NOT go well.

Post a gif of your favorite comfort show.

No one knows the future - both what Trump will actually do, and what the effects will be - but it truly was the case that that Trump’s *explicit campaign promises* were to basically destroy the recovery.

Required reading for every US senator (recommended reading for everyone else). Excellent piece by Sarah Zhang of @theatlantic.bsky.social

@bencollins.bsky.social Alex is saying the sale was halted or fake or something (it’s hard to tell with his nonsense). Please say this isn’t true. This has been the funniest shit ever.

Hi everyone. The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars. We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off. I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

[watching myself flop on bluesky compared to my reaction on twitter] No! NO! Where are my bots?! MY BEAUTIFUL BOTS?!?!

Found in Blacklick Woods.

I’m a nobody on here who barely posts and I’m already seeing more engagement. The influx of twitter refugees is going well.

Election Day should be a federal holiday. Not for any of the good, real reasons that would be helpful to everyone. But because in the first 15 minutes of my day today, it became clear none of us are getting any work done.

We had a vaccine clinic in the office today so I went ahead and got my flu and Covid shots. The whole time the “nurse” was telling me how kids get too many vaccines these days (based on what?). And that I probably don’t need a Covid vax since my blood is O+ (this is a lie). Faith in humanity: 0.

Nicholas Cage is to acting what Nickelback is to music. We all make jokes and pretend they’re terrible. But deep down, we’re all fans.

Joe Manchin leaving the Democratic Party due to “partisan extremism” with 24 hours of Trump being convicted of 34 felonies is the most “enlightened centrist” move I can imagine. Totally both sides, bro.

Is this where the verdict party is?

My wife while watching Immaculate: I don’t know if I can do this, man. Are they cloning Jesus? Like it’s Jurassic Park? Italian Tim Curry is building a Jurassic Park of Jesuses? This may be too dumb for me.

Checked into a cabin today and got a surprise buddy. I think she’s going to ride it out with me through the eclipse. Already a great vacation.

Don’t worry, the 2 dumbest men on the planet are on the case.

The Civil War looks extremely obvious in hindsight, but in real time from 1850 to the outbreak of hostilities the Unionists thought that the Confederates were bluffing. After Bleeding Kansas, after Preston Brooks put Sumner in a coma, after Dred Scott, after the declarations of secession…

Just saw Madame Web and it is absolutely bad/good. I laughed so hard I cried. Sometimes intentionally. If ever there was a movie made for weed, this is it.

The more I hear about the Alabama IVF case, the more I want the couple bringing the case charged with a crime. You’re suing on the basis that your frozen embryos are children? You knew they’d destroy the unused embryos. That means you’re guilty in a murder for hire plot by your own logic.

Never get into a staring contest with a turtle. I will be taking no follow up questions.

Don’t really know what to do with this account, so I’m just going to randomly post articles about some of my favorite stories from history. Here’s Robert Smalls: www.smithsonianmag.com/history/thri...

All the headlines celebrating BlueSky adding a million users in a day-ish and all I can think is “how many were bots?” Really hoping this place doesn’t just become Twitter 2.0.

I don’t understand the GOP/Fox News concern that Taylor Swift might endorse Biden. Didn’t she already endorse him in 2020? Why be so obsessed with it now?

Package on my patio with no footprints in the snow. Given how cold it is, I’m impressed the driver did that much.
