There’s so much grass out there that is just *waiting* for someone to touch it. The internet was a mistake.

"Frederick Douglass wasn't literate enough to understand the Constitution" is one of the most unhinged takes I've ever seen someone post even on bluesky, the official home of posting unhinged takes

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

The United States of Turkmenistan

i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit

This is sad, but good: Artists are refusing to normalize this idiocy, and instead of just commanding performances - which they can't do - the Trump people are closing it down and slinking away.

What did we do to deserve this woman in public life

The protest/strike fetishism being primarily about the glorification of the aesthetics of (political) violence is why I call this the left wing cult of the operator

They must be SO mad watching Renee Good become the murdered folk hero they wanted Charlie Kirk to be

Twitter is dead, but it's still more up to date for news. I have *some* convos on X with people who aren't over here, but Bluesky is more exhausting than even old Twitter was, because it's like a giant seminar of the most poorly prepared but totally confident grad students ever :)

He has the Oval Office looking like a stall at a Flea Market

I saw someone describe Lutnick as having “a thumbless grasp of the economy” and that sums things up fairly well.

“Reckless disregard of leadership” Can these utter dorks even hear themselves?

Not that it will but the willingness of Americans to obey is a very funny contrast with our self-image and should probably prompt some reflection bsky.app/profile/jonf...

This — like the ballroom — is Nero building his Golden House. It won’t survive when Vespasian takes the reins.

But Kash Patel has been personally searching for the killer on some podcasts

They should go ahead and change the name from Purdue University to Purdue Vocational Training Center

One reason for the decline of the arts and humanities in America is that dumb leftists have subordinated a bunch of niches in it into playgrounds for dumb political fantasies in which the subject matter is subordinated to an endless circlejerk about how righteous and insightful the participants are.

I watched the first episode @radiofreetom.bsky.social. It was really, really good. I won’t spoil it for you, but there was even a Commonwealth reference in the “future episodes” montage.

Imagine confessing you let a car’s OS turn you into a toddler.

If there’s one thing Democrats love, it’s dumping money on candidates they admire who have no chance of winning

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.

Love a good turf war

The only people who endlessly complain about color revolutions are dipshit leftie campists and Q-pilled right-wingers and the thing they have in common is they're both huffing Russian propaganda

"Unitary executive" is really "24 year olds in the West Wing tell everyone in the federal government with experience and knowledge what to do at their jobs."

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home. They are lawless bestial scum.

Let's not confuse the people giving the stupid orders with the people who have to deal with following them, who are often good and decent people.

In case you were wondering where @radiofreetom.bsky.social was right about now

Blueskyism

I am sure @radiofreetom.bsky.social is just as disappointed as I am by this development.

(spending 9 billion dollars to make a robot say "i have always loved you") hard times create strong men

Curb music plays

Thank God, when the crisis finally is upon us, we will have serious and competent allies like this one

Because understanding it requires adulting and letting go of drama and actually confronting the far scarier problem of authoritarian backsliding that is already in motion

Make the son of a bitch deny it.

I believe Orwell had a few things to say about this sort of thing.

if you can’t see the aurora borealis tonight, here is a sewer tunnel which is a wonder in itself.

good news, we now officially measure the economy with the burrito taxi index

So I had a first occur today. I am wearing my Commonwealth Minutemen hat and someone thanked me for my service as I was going to my car. I didn’t say anything, but part of me wanted to say “yeah, I was there when we defended Diamond City from Super Mutants back in 2180.” Super awkward.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Calling things by their right name is never a bad idea. There are many ways to fight an authoritarian movement, but trying to convince people that the movement has already won and instituted fascism is just stupid.

This is obscene.

Exactly. Once you decide that lying and propagandizing is necessary, you're on the road to oblivion, because the other guys are not only better at it, but they will out you as being no better than they are

A democracy fighting against an authoritarian movement.
